素養(yǎng)視角：中國太空3D打印實驗

Today, China has conducted its first 3D printing experiment in space in a newly launched spacecraft, which was put into low-Earth orbit by China'sLong March 5Bheavy lift carrier rocket.

The video broadcast on CCTV showed that the printer has printed a flat section of a honeycomb-shaped (蜂巢狀的) structure as well as a symbol of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the parent company of the China Academy of Space Technology. The experiment was done by a 3D printer, developed and built by its Beijing Spacecraft Manufacturing Factory, inside the prototype of China's new-generation manned spacecraft.

The printer, named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D Printing System,uses carbon fibre-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects. It is installed in the re-entry module of the experimental spaceship, and will be brought back to Earth once the module returns.

The printer features advanced technologies in material modeling, precision control and automation. Once the spacebased 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready, it can extensively benefit space programmes as astronauts can use it to manufacture a lot of things they currently need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft.

Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of theAerospace Knowledgemagazine, said,“The 3D printer will be very useful in extended space missions, such as those in a space station, because it will allow astronauts to make components quickly and conveniently in space. The technology will save future space journeys considerable resources and costs.”

In fact, the device is not the only representative of 3D printing on board the prototype.A CubeSat deployer,designed and made through 3D printing by CoSats Space Technology, is also carried by the spacecraft to check the adaptability of 3Dprinted equipment in space. CoSats chief operating officer Bai Ruixue said,“The 3Dprinted deployer is much lighter and stronger than its counterparts and it will have huge potential in the space industry.”

1.What did the video broadcast on CCTV show to the audience?

A.The name and the shape of the 3D printer.

B.The relationship between the two companies.

C.The significance of the 3D printing technology.

D.The process and the products of the 3D printing.

2.What if a component is broken in the space station in the future?

A.The astronauts can fix it conveniently by hand on the spot.

B.The astronauts can make one using 3D printing and replace it.

C.It has to be sent by a spaceship back to Earth for repair.

D.It has to be unloaded and abandoned in space.

3.Why is the last paragraph mentioned?

A.To show the adaptability of 3D printing in space.

B.To indicate a bright future of 3D printing in space.

C.To introduce the CubeSat deployer produced in space.

D.To explain the advantages of the 3D printing in space.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.3D printing set to help ease space trips

B.3D printing launched byLong March 5B

C.3D printing: A new way to explore space

D.A 3D printing experiment conducted in space

My brother and I were in Orlando,Florida to witness our first space shuttle launch.Discoverywas scheduled to soar at 10：14 am on a blue sky September day.I'd seen it go up so many times on television,

1 now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it's the final demonstration of the 2 of success: success takes off like a rocket.

Standing close to the space shuttle drove home one 3 point—the shuttle was the height of a 15-storey building—it weighed 4.5 million pounds—and NASA was trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV, the accomplishments looked so much smaller, so much easier.

Crowds of people were standing around with us to watch the shuttle go. The countdown began through the small 4 of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. It's enough to get your heart 5 out of your chest.

When time was up, the 6 booster rockets were lit up and the eight explosive bolts followed. The first things we saw were large white steam clouds exploding away.Through the steam, we saw the fire power.Then the space shuttle began to inch off the pad and climbed its way 7 . Thousands upon millions of pounds of push could

8 lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle 9 up,roared into the sky and headed into space attaining a speed of over 17,000 mph.

It was within the first two minutes to launch the space shuttle that the great success lesson was 10 . Fact: 85% of the shuttle's fuel was consumed 11 the first two minutes just to get the 15-storey super structure to its orbital altitude.

And that's exactly how success takes off: the first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the hardest and will require enormous 12 of energy—a great big 13 . However, if you persist through the 14 period, which can seem almost 15 for quite some time,everything gets easier and easier and your achievements get bigger and bigger.

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文，續(xù)寫詞數應為150左右。

My first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space.Described as an enormous round plate, it spun slowly in space to imitate the pull of the Earth's gravity.Inside was an exhibition of the most up-to-date inventions of the 31st century. A guide showed us around along a moveable path.

Guide: Good morning to all our visitors from 2022. First we're going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens! Messages can now be sent using a“thought pad”.You place the metal band over your head,clear your mind, press the sending button and think about your message and the next instant it's sent. It's stored on the“thought pad”of the receiver. It's quick, efficient and environmentally friendly. The only limitation is that if the user does not think about his or her message clearly, an unclear message may be sent. But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user,can we?

During the explanation,I looked at the pair of small objects called“thought pad”on a table. They just looked like metal ribbons. So ordinary but so powerful! While I was observing them,the path moved us on.

Guide: And now ladies and gentlemen, we are in the“environment area”.People used to collect waste in dustbins.Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I right? (We nodded.) Well,now there's a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology.A giant machine, always greedy for more,swallows all the waste available. The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material, such as“fertilizer”for the fields and“soil”for deserts. Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic, is recycled.A great idea,isn't it?

I stared at the moving model of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency.But again we moved on.

Paragraph 1:

Guide:Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices.Manufacturing no longer takes place on Earth but on space stations like this one.
