NASA has flown an aircraft on another planet for the first time. On Monday, April 19, Ingenuity, a 1. 8-kilogram drone (无人机) helicopter, took off from the surface of Mars, flew up about threemeters, then hovered for 40 seconds and took photos above with one of its two cameras. The historic moment was livestreamed on YouTube. “We can now say that human beings have flown a drone helicopter on another planet,” said MiMi Aung, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, at a press conference. “We, together, flew at Mars, and we, together, now have our Wright brothers moment,” she added, referring to the first powered airplane flight on Earth in 1903.
The details: The flight was a significant technical challenge, thanks to Mars' s bone-chilling temperatures (nights can drop down to -130 °F / -90 °C) and its incredibly thin atmosphere — just 1% the density of Earth' s. That meant Ingenuity had to be light, with rotor blades (螺旋桨) that were bigger and faster than would be
needed to achieve liftoff on Earth (although the gravity on Mars, which is only about one-third of Earth's, worked in its favor). The flight had originally been scheduled to take place on April 11 but was delayed by software issues.
Why it's significant: Beyond being a significantmilestonefor Mars exploration, the flight will also pave the way for engineers to think about new ways to explore other planets. Future drone helicopters could help astronauts by scoping out locations, exploring inaccessible areas, and capturing images. Ingenuity will also help inform the design of Dragonfly, a car-size drone that NASA is planning to send to Saturn's moon Titan in 2027.
What's next: In the next few weeks, Ingenuity will conduct four more flights, each lasting up to 90 seconds. Each one is designed to further push the limits of Ingenuity's capabilities. Ingenuity is only designed to last for 30 Martian days, and is expected to stop functioning around
May 4. Its final resting place will be in the Jezero Crater as NASA moves on to the main focus of its mission: Getting the Perseverance rover (毅力号火星探测器) to study Mars for evidence of life.
8. Why does MiMi Aung mention Wright brothers?
A. To honor the historic contribution of Wright brothers.
B. To make a comparison between Wright brothers and herself.
C. To highlight the importance of Ingenuity's Martian exploration.
D. To remind the public of the first powered airplane flight on Earth.
9. What caused challenges for Ingenuity designers?
A. The delay of software tests.
B. The force of gravity on Mars.
C. Mars's temperatures and atmosphere.
D. Technical difficulty in liftoff on Earth.
10. What does the underlined word “milestone” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. A great victory.
B. A difficult task.
C. A roadside stone.
D. A historic event.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mars Drone Helicopter Makes Historic First Flight
B. Modern Wright Brothers Moment: Mars Exploration
C. First Drone Helicopter Spots Evidence of Life on Mars
D. Ingenuity: Mars Drone Flies to Take Incredible Pictures
D
When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.
On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.
She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.
For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.
A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.
12. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________
A. her father pushed her
B. a book inspired her
C. her teacher encouraged her
D. James Watson motivated her
13. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.
A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix"
B. she discovered the structure of DNA
C. she is a hardworking woman scientist
D. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA
14. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science.
B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry.
C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals.
D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race.
15. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?
A. Determined and responsible.
B. Ambitious and humorous.
C. Cruel and indifferent.
D. Fearless and stubborn.

【61题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：令我吃惊的是，我们分开这么多年后，他还记得我的生日。

“to + one’s +情感名词”，“令某人……”，固定搭配。

故将In改为To。

【62题详解】
考查及物动词。

句意：她性格像她母亲，但外表不像。

resemble看起来像，及物动词，其后直接加宾语，无需用介词like。

故删除like。

【63题详解】
考查可数名词的数。

句意：这出戏得到许多差评后，很快就彻底失败了。

many后需接可数名词复数。

故将review改为reviews。

【64题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。

句意：他故意不理睬她的电话，因为他不想被打扰。

feel like doing sth.想要做某事，固定搭配，此处表示被打扰，所以like后需用being done。

故在disturbed前加being。

【65题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：她宁愿步行去那里也不愿坐公共汽车。

would rather do sth. than do sth.宁愿做某事而不愿做某事，固定搭配。

故将took改为take。

【66题详解】
考查强调句型。

句意：给我们留下深刻印象的是他强烈的责任感。

分析句子结构可知，此处应该是强调句型：It was+被强调部分+that（强调人时可用who）…”，此处强调的是主语his strong sense of responsibility，应用that。

故将what改为that。

【67题详解】
考查动名词。

句意：我们从来没有想到像他这样的人会自己做这个实验。

imagine sb. doing sth.想象某人做某事，固定搭配。

故将perform改为performing。

【68题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：我借给他十本杂志，大多数比你想象的还要精彩。

分析句子结构可知，本句先行词是ten magazines，指物，关系词代替它在从句中充当主语，且位于介词of之后，需用which引导非限制性定语从句。

故将who改为which。

【69题详解】
考查副词。

句意：这本字典很值得买。

worth值得的，表示程度时，其前需用副词well，不用very。

故将very 改为well。

【70题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。

句意：这个女孩和她的父母每年夏天都去海滩。

由时间状语every summer可知，本句谓语动词需用一般现在时态，as well as连接两个并列的主语时，谓语动词需用“就远原则”，所以此处谓语动词的形式取决于The girl，单数，谓语动词需用第三人称单数goes。

故将go改为goes
52.略。
