One of the great benefits of being able to record sound is to make books available for listening. With the appearance of audio recordings, many people were able to hear literary classics read aloud. Audio books are, of course, books read aloud and recorded to be listened to on some kind of player. As sound technology has changed, audio books have changed, as well. 1. Now, books are also available on audio tape or CD.
Talking books are books created for people who have sight problems. Some of these talking books often need special players to be used. Many visually damaged people are able to receive players for free. 2.
CD technology has caused great changes in the talking book industry, since more data can be written on a single disc. 3. So the visually damaged person has a multi-use machine.
4. Some are even read in the form of a play, in which different actors take the parts of the characters in the book. They may also have sound effects or music to help improve the listening experience.
Some book clubs have started offering audio books as part of their services. Libraries also have audio books available and they may also be purchased online or at any book store. 5. Those who feel they do not have time to enjoy the pleasure of a good book may find audio books to be the next best thing.
A.They are no longer available only on volumes.
B.Many talking book players will also play music CDs.
C.Audio books are popular with travelers and busy individuals.
D.Many audio books also feature famous actors reading the books.
E.People can listen to a personal music player whenever they want.
F.It is an affordable option if you typically listen to more than one book a month.
G.These players enable them to play their talking books independently, without the help of a sighted person.
Artemis is NASA’s new lunar exploration program. Through the Artemis program, NASA will use new technology to study the Moon in new and better ways, and prepare for human missions to Mars.
NASA’s new rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit. Then, astronauts will dock (对接) Orion at a small spaceship called the Gateway, from which the crew will take trips to the lunar surface in a new human landing system, and then return to the Gateway. The crew will return to the Earth aboard Orion.
NASA will test the rocket and spacecraft in flight, then send a crew for a test flight:
Artemis 1 will be a test flight of the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft with no crew.
Artemis 2 will fly SLS and Orion with a crew past the Moon, then circle it and return to the Earth. This trip will be the farthest any human has gone into space.
Artemis 3 will send a crew with the first woman and the next man to land on the Moon by 2024. The Artemis 3 crew will visit the Moon’s South Pole. No one has ever been there.
At the Moon, astronauts will:
Search for the Moon’s water and use it.
Learn how to live and work on the surface of another celestial body (天体) where astronauts are just three days from home.
Test the technologies we need before sending astronauts on missions to Mars, which can take up-to three years round trip.
The Moon is a good place to learn new science. NASA will learn more about the Moon, the Earth and even the Sun. The Moon is a “test bed” for Mars. The Moon is a place to show that astronauts will one day be able to work away from the Earth on Mars for long periods of time.
1.What is the aim of the Artemis program?
A.To help astronauts return to the Earth. B.To be ready for the landing on Mars.
C.To study the Mars using new science. D.To test the Moon landing spacecraft, Orion.
2.Which will be the achievement of the Artemis series?
A.Going to the Moon’s South Pole. B.Making the farthest trip into space.
C.Sending the first man to the Moon. D.Flying to the Moon with three persons.
3.What will Artemis astronauts do on the Moon?
A.Send astronauts to Mars. B.Run a three-year-long test.
C.Find and make use of water. D.Learn to live not far from home.
4.What can we conclude from the text?
A.It is possible to live on another planet now.
B.The crew will reach the lunar surface from the Orion.
C.NASA has sent the first woman astronaut to the Moon.
D.The Artemis program is of great help to Mars exploring.
Scientists say they have found high levels of small plastic particles(颗粒) in Arctic snow. A German-Swiss research team collected snow samples(样本）from the Arctic and other areas. They included northern Germany, the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, and the North Sea island of Heligoland.When the researchers examined the samples in a laboratory, they were surprised to find very high levels of microplastics.
Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic. These plastic particles are generally smaller than 5 millimeters in length. They come from the breakdown of man-made plastic products and industrial waste.
The study found the highest levels of microplastics came from the Bavarian Alps. One snow sample from the area had 154,000 microplastic particles per liter. Samples collected from the Arctic had much lower levels. However, even samples from the Arctic contained up to 14,000 particles per liter.
The study also attempted to explore how some of the material could have been carried in the atmosphere. A limited number of earlier studies did find microplastics in the air of some cities, including Paris, Tehran and Dongguan, China.
Bergmann Melanie co-wrote the report on the new study. She believes the new study clearly shows that “the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” The new study suggests that much of the microplastic found in Europe and the Arctic comes from the atmosphere and snow.
While there is growing concern about the effect of microplastics on the environment, scientists are still studying their possible harmful effects on humans and animals. “I hope the new study will lead to more research on this issue. I think microscopic plastic particles should be included in worldwide observations of air pollution levels.We really need to know what effects microplastics have on humans, especially if inhaled with the air that we breathe.” Bergmann said.
1.Why did scientists collect samples from so many places in paragragh 1?
A.To make the research convincing.
B.To attract people to explore there.
C.To measure the length of microplastics .
D.To examine the samples easily in the lab.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The risks of microplastics.
B.The transport of microplastics.
C.The breakdown of plastic products.
D.The description of microplastics.
3.What did the research team find about microplastics?
A.Many people threw them away at the Alps.
B.They were delivered to remote areas through air.
C.They could be caught sight of in the air.
D.They had no great effect on the environment.
4.What can be inferred from what Bergmann said in the last paragraph?
A.Scientists are worried about the the influence of microplastics.
B.We have found a practical solution to the environment problem.
C.The effect of microplastics on human must be urgently researched.
D.There is no need to change observations of air pollution levels.
