For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You s
17、hould make the correct choice.36 The Earth has a force that pulls things toward itself. We call this force gravity(地心引力). This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it. But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overcome
18、 if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all.Take the throwing of a ball as an example. The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the secret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The speed
19、 at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed required to escape completely from the Earths gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour.Once escape speed has been reached by
20、 a spacecraft(宇宙飞船), no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will “coast“(滑行) the rest of the way because the Earths gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance(阻力) in space to slow it down. This “coasting“ is known as “free fall“. That does not mea
21、n the rocket is falling down towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill.Free fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time.36 What is the most
22、 important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth?（A）To travel as fast as it can.（B） To overcome the Earth gravity.（C） To get away from the air resistance.（D）To have strong power in its operation.37 How fast will a rocket go to escape completely from the Earths gravity? _（A）Seventy miles per s
23、econd.（B） Seven thousand miles per hour.（C） Twenty-five thousand miles per second.（D）Twenty-five thousand miles per hour.38 As there is always the Earths gravitational pull, people _.（A）accept it without questioning it（B） never notice its presence（C） hardly think about how to use it（D）often try to e
24、scape from it39 When a bicycle “coasts“ downhill, it _.（A）runs along the hillside（B） does not need any further power（C） runs freely to all directions（D）does not meet with air resistance40 Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time?（A）Few spacecrafts complete their flight
25、 operations.（B） The Earths gravity cannot be overcome.（C） No further power is needed after the escape speed is reached.（D）Free fall takes the place of the Earths gravity pull.Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.41 Tho
26、usands of years ago, traveling was very hard. There were no roads and no cars. People traveled on rivers and lakes.

27、e wheel. The wheel was the most important invention in transportation.The need to transport many people at one time led to the use of the stagecoach.
