Question

【題目】 The world’s largest radio telescope was finished in China.

FAST is a five-hundred-metre telescope. It is also called Tian-yan (“The Eye of Heaven”), with a dish the size of 30 football grounds, deep in the mountains of south-west China’s Guizhou Province. The giant dish is built on a bowl-like valley.

The surrounding area has “radio silence” as there are no towns and cities within a 5-kilometre radius(半徑范圍）and only one county centre within 25 kilometres.

FAST is made up of 4,450 panels(面板). The second largest radio telescope is in Russia. The bigger dish will e able to pick up weaker signals.

The radio telescope is like an ear, listening to meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe. With the help of the telescope, we can receive weaker and more radio messages far away in space. It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the Galaxy(銀河系)and explore the origins of the universe. “Any of its discoveries will lead to a Nobel Prize,” said Joseph Taylor, a Nobel Prize winner.

The telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years.

【1】The passage may appear in the “_______________” section of a newspaper.

A.businessB.advertisementC.literatureD.science

【2】FAST is used to ________________.

A.explore the origins of human beings

B.receive distant radio messages from the universe

C.watch the beautiful scenery of the Galaxy

D.help scientists to win the Nobel Prize in the future

【3】The sentence “The FAST project began in 2011.”can be put at the beginning of ____________.

A.Paragraph 6B.Paragraph 4C.Paragraph 3D.Paragraph 2

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

本文介紹了世界上最大的射電望遠(yuǎn)鏡以及它的功能。

【1】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“The world’s largest radio telescope was finished in China.”并結(jié)合全文可知，本文主要介紹世界上最大的射電望遠(yuǎn)鏡，內(nèi)容與科學(xué)技術(shù)有關(guān)，所以這篇文章可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙上的科技板塊。故選D。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中“The radio telescope is like an ear, listening to meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe.”可知，射電望遠(yuǎn)鏡用來接收來自宇宙的遠(yuǎn)距離無線電訊息。故選B。

【3】

篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。根據(jù)第六段中“The telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years.”可知，在未來的10到20年里，這個(gè)望遠(yuǎn)鏡將繼續(xù)保持全球領(lǐng)先地位，此處表述的內(nèi)容與時(shí)間相關(guān)，所以The FAST project began in 2011.這句話可以放在第六段開頭，表示“望遠(yuǎn)鏡這個(gè)項(xiàng)目是2011年開始的”。故選A。
