阅读理解 C NASA has made history today, conducting the very first powered flight on another planet. The Mars Helicopter Ingenuity (机智号) successfully took to the Red Planet skies for a brief journey, which will hopefully be the first of several.
Along with accumulating 30 minutes and 48 seconds of flight time, the helicopter has traveled over the surface a distance of 2.2 miles, flying as high as 12 meters and as fast as 5 meters per second.
Flying a craft for a few seconds might not sound like too big an accomplishment, but it’s quite a remarkable achievement of engineering. Ingenuity is flying in conditions unlike any possible on Earth - the gravity on Mars is only one-third as strong as Earth’s, and the atmosphere is extremely thin, at just one percent the density compared to the Earth. Combined with the extreme cold and a lengthy radio delay, the mission has got a lot that can go wrong.
And it already has. After surviving its first cold night on Mars, Ingenuity was set to take off on April 11, but a software error during a high-speed spin test of its rotors (螺旋桨) on April 9 threw a spanner in the works. After troubleshooting the issue, NASA developed a fix and beamed a software update to the Red Planet. If all goes to plan, NASA will conduct a few more flights over the next few weeks, sending Ingenuity higher and farther each time.
“Now, 117 years after the Wright brothers succeeded in making the first flight on our planet, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has left this amazing footprint of success on another world,” says Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA Associate Administrator for Science. “While these two symbolic moments in NASA history may be separated by time and 173 million miles of space, they now will forever be linked. To show respect for the two bicycle makers from Dayton, this first of many airfields on other worlds will now be known as Wright Brothers Field, in recognition of the ingenuity and creativity that continue to encourage exploration.”
1. makes the flight of Ingenuity on Mars challenging?
A. The bad air quality on Mars. B. The doubled gravity on Mars.
C. Both severe cold and not punctual radio. D. The changing weather conditions of Mars.
2. Which of the following best explains “threw a spanner in the works“ underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Caused problems. B. Found faults. C. Repaired damage. D. Solved crisis.
3. Why are the Wright brothers mentioned by Thomas Zurbuchen?
A. To encourage more airplane designs. B. To promote the spirit of ingenuity and creativity.
C. To recognize the great contributions of the Wright brothers.
D. To highlight the meaningfulness of the Ingenuity’s journey to Mars.
4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Successful Exploration on Mars B. A Promising Future of Ingenuity Helicopter
C. NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter Faces Great Challenges
D. NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter Makes Historic First Flight
