A satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.
The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.
The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.
Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.
“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.
4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?
A. Deal with.
B. Keep up with.
C. Join together.
D. Crash.
5. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?
A. Because of the growing space waste problem.
B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.
C. Because they can earn large profits from it.
D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.
6. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?
A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.
B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.
C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.
D. Tumbling to match the motion of “client satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People will bum the space junk up in Earth's atmosphere in the future.
B. Japan andRussiawill conduct space debris cleanup experiment together.
C. These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.
D. The demonstration mission will be divided into three phases.

They are smart. They know how to steal. They know how to find food. They know how to intimidate(恐吓) . Who are they? They are macaque monkeys. They have taken over the old city ofLopburiinThailand. About 8,400 of them are in the center of the city. They roam(漫游) neighborhoods in groups. Dozens of businesses in Lopburi are closing. They include a music school, a gold shop, a barber, a cellphone store and a movie theatre. The Buddhist culture believes reducing the number of monkeys would disturb spiritual well-being.
The monkeys were not always such a hazard. They attracted tourists. Buddhists thought feeding them was a good deed. Now times have changed. Recently, the coronavirus made things worse. There are fewer tourists, which means that travelers give less food to the monkeys. Over the years, the monkeys moved into empty buildings. They trashed whatever they came across. They ripped(扯掉) antennas and windshield wipers off parked cars. What happens when monkeys come into contact with humans? An observer said that years ago the monkeys were fewer, biggerand healthier. Their fur was shiny and thick. They kept to the temples，as well as the ruins of the ancient Khmer civilization.
Then tourists came with easy and unhealthy food. Along with bananas and citrus(柑橘), the macaques feasted on junk food. An observer said, “The monkeys are never hungry. They are just like children who eat too much KFC. ” Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have
more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald. With so much food available，they have more time to breed and to give birth. Their population has exploded. “These monkeys were here before us,” a man said. A juvenile macaque tugged(拽) his trousers demanding a treat. “We have to adapt to them，not the other way around. ”
12. Why are macaque monkeys so popular in Lopburi inThailand?
A. Because they are smart and know how to steal.
B. Because they have taken over the old city ofLopburiinThailand.
C. Because they are symbols of spiritual well-being in the Buddhist culture.
D. Because 8,400 of them are in the centre of the city and roam everywhere.

A. The monkeys are bigger and healthier.
B. The monkeys like eating KFC food.
C. The monkeys have suffered from more diseases.
