1、UNIT 4单元主题训练I .阅读理解A(2022 佛山二模)The future of space exploration may depend on an art form from the past: origami (折纸艺术),the ancient art of paper folding.Researchers from Washington State University (WSU), US, have used origami to possibly solve the problem of storing and moving fuel to rocket engines
2、, a key challenge in space travel, according to Ab厚siMse. Theyve developed a foldable plastic fuel bladder (囊状物) resistant to super cold temperatures, which could be used to store and pump fuel in spacecrafts of the future. Their findings have recently been published in the journal Cryogenics.“Folks
3、 have been trying to make bags for rocket fuel for a long time, n said Jake Leachman, one of the lead researchers. We currently dont do large, long-duration trips because we can* t store fuel long enough in space. ”Meanwhile, NASA is also looking to paper folding to help observe distant planets. The
4、 agency is currently developing Starshade, a foldable, sunflower-shaped piece of hardware that would help block starlight and enable telescopes to view distant objects more clearly in space.“A huge part of my job is looking at something on paper and asking, 4Can we fly this? Manan Arya, a technologi

The electric rocidster and its passenger were attached to the top of a Falcon Heavy rocket during the SpaceX rocket* s first test launch on 6 February, 2018.Two years later, the Falcon Heavy rocket and the vehic 1 e at its tip are making their second trip around the Sun. Mr
13、McDowell, a Harvard astrophysicist, found that Starman wou1d be 7. 4 million kilometres away from Mars on 7 October, 2020.The closest recent distance between the Earth and Mars was about 56 million ki 1 ometres in 2003, though the p 1 anets are often hundreds of mi 11 ions of mi 1 es apart depending
14、 on where they are in their orbits. No one can see the Falcon Heavy rocket at its current distance, but orbits over periods of a few years are fairly straightforward to predict, and Mr McDowel 1 used data about how the rocket was moving when it left the Earths gravity behind to locate its recent mov
15、ements exactly.Last time Starman circled the Sun, McDowell said, it crossed Mars orbit while the Red Planet was quite far away. But this time the crossing would be completed within a fairly close distance, though still not close enough to feel a strong tug from Mars.At this point in time, if you wer
16、e able to go look at the Roadster, it would probably look pretty different. The strong solar radiation environment between the planets would probab1y have destroyed all the exposed organic materials.Without the Earth* s atmospheric and magnetic (磁场的)protection, even the plastics and carbon-fibre mat
