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. 4. 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. 5. 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.
6. 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. 7. 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

It’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.
Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.
“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in
a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.
Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.
After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.
8. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. instant passion. B. continuous efforts. C. great patience. D. selfless ambitions. 9. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?
A. Sad and disappointed. B. Stressed and defeated. C. Determined and confident. D. Joyous and contented. 10. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience? A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine. B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses. C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut. D. She gained remarkable high school achievement. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. From Homeless to Yale B. Meet American’s Top Girl C. Disabled but not Defeated
D. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many Talents

In someareas ofCalifornia, it’s so dry that farmers aren’t willing to plant crops this season. Growers, north
ofSan Francisco, have begun pulling out of local farmers markets.
CountyLineHarvest, which farms more than 30 acres inPetaluma, hasn’t had enough water to grow all the peppers, lettuces and other produce for a long time, according to a video on its Instagram page. Nearby farms arc saying the same, emphasizing (强调) the effect of theextendeddry periods.
Californiagrows a third of theUnited States' vegetables and two-thirds of the nation's fruits and nuts. If dry weather prevents farmers from growing plants, that could lead to pushing up the price of food that's already starting to affect theU.S.economy.
“Due to severe drought, for the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer inPetaluma,\"CountyLinesaid in its post.
Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. inKansas, saidCalifornia“missed the rainy season\" and won't see much moisture (水分) over the next several months.
A La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific pushed winter storms north and away from the state, leaving it with less moisture than usual. AsCaliforniagets most of its water from winter storms, little relief is expected before October.
That has left growers such as Shao Shan Fann in a bind. The business can’t offer the selection of Asian vegetables and Bay Area staples it usually grows at its Bolinas location, according to its website.
Nearby, Green Valley Community Farm has access to only about 5% of the water it usually relies on, owner David Plescia said. He’s looking for new land with enough water to use, and also has a permit in the works to grow cannabis to make up for the lost income. If it doesn’t make it, he’ll leave the fields empty.
“It’s part of our generation’s cross to bear, figuring out how to run small — or medium-scale farm businesses in this kind of atmosphere of highly variable rainfall,” Andrew said.
12. What does the underlined word “extended” in the second paragraph mean? A. Hot. B. Short. C. Long. D. Wonderful. 13. Which is the result if the dry weather stops famers from planting crops? A. Theincreaseinthe priceof food. B. The growth of economy inU.S. C.Lessmoisture than usual. D. The low price of Asian vegetables.
14. From what Andrew said, we can infer (推断) all of the following statements EXCEPT that________. A. The climate is not very good
B. It is part of the burden for people of his generation
C. It is hard for him to run his farm businesses insuch bad climate
D. He is sure that the serious drought will come to an end soon 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How do the famers run businesses inCalifornia.
B. How does the owner look for new land with enough water C. California farmers facing drought choose not to plant crops. D. The farm economy of theUnited Stateshas changed a lot. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
