Passage 3 The Earth has a force that pulls things toward itself. We call this force gravity. This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it. But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overcome if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all. Take the throwing of a ball as an example. The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the secret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The speed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed required to escape completely from the Earths gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour. Once escape speed has been reached by a spacecraft, no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will “coast” the rest of the way because the Earths gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance in space to slow it down. This “coasting” is known as “free fall”. That does not mean the rocket is falling down towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill. Free fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time 11. Gravity is a force that C . A.all heavenly bodies attract things towards themselves B.human being think about all the time C.a rocket must overcome before it is launched into the space D.we live without in our life on earth. 12. Escape speed can be achieved only if we can launch the rocket at the speed of B . A. seven miles per minute B. seven miles per second C. twenty-five thousand meters per hour D. twenty-five miles per hour 13. The word “coast”(Line 2. Para.3) can be replaced by A . A. move freely along B. area next to the sea C. rotate D. find out 14. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? B A. Everyone can throw the ball hard enough to make it go up forever. B. Escape speed is a speed at which something can escape from the earths gravity C. The power is still needed to push it forward when a spacecraft has been in outer space D. There is air resistance in space 15. What is the main topic of the conversation? C 6 A.How earths gravity affect space travel B.How spacecraft are made C. What important factors are in rocket operation? D. Why a bicycle can coast downhill Passage 1 The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and peoples lives were miserable.
