“露西”號首次探索太陽系小行星
北京時間10月16日傍晚17時34分，美國宇航局在佛羅里達(dá)州卡納維拉爾角用宇宙神五號火箭成功發(fā)射探測器“露西”號，開啟了為期12年的探索木星特洛伊小行星之旅。
Set t launch Octber 16, the Lucy spacecraft is designed t study Jupiter’s Trjan asterids（小行星）. These asterids are small bdies left ver frm the frmatin f ur slar system’s large planets. They share an rbit with Jupiter as the planet ges arund the sun. The missin’s aim is t gather new infrmatin abut the slar system’s frmatin 4.5 billin years ag.
Lucy will bserve eight asterids ver 12 years. One f the eight asterids rbits in what is knwn as the Asterid Belt, an area between Mars and Jupiter. Mst knwn asterids rbit within this area. The spacecraft will als bserve seven Trjan asterids. Scientists cnsider the Trjan asterids t be the ancient remains f the frmatin f the slar system. They have stayed captured in Jupiter’s rbit fr billins f years. The Trjans circle the sun in tw grups. One grup leads Jupiter in its rbital path, while the ther fllws behind it. Lucy will be the first spacecraft t visit these asterids.
The spacecraft was named Lucy after the ancient fssil discvered in Ethipia in 1974. Lucy was ne f the mst famus scientific finds f the 20th century. The cllectin f skeletal bnes gave scientists a better understanding f the evlutin f humans. Cathy Olkin, the deputy lead investigatr fr the Lucy missin, cmpared the NASA spacecraft t the Lucy fssil. “Just like the Lucy fssil transfrmed ur understanding f human evlutin, the Lucy missin will transfrm ur understanding f slar system evlutin,” she said.
The spacecraft is equipped with several imaging instruments designed t capture infrmatin abut the cmpsitin f materials n the surface f asterids. Other equipment will be used t recrd asterid surface temperatures and measure the size f the bjects the spacecraft bserves. Lucy will depend n slar pwer t perate. NASA says the missin expects t set a recrd because Lucy will travel farther frm the sun than any past slar pwered spacecraft.
Lri Glaze is the directr f NASA’s planetary science divisin. She said, “Whatever Lucy finds will give us vital clues abut the frmatin f ur slar system.”

Thanks t the hard wrk f SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin, space turism is well n the way t becming a reality. Nw, the Orbital Assembly Crpratin (OAC) plans t give visitrs a chance t extend their “ut-f-the-wrld” experience by checking int a luxurius htel in lw Earth rbit.
The 650-ft-wide Ferris-wheel-like Vyager Space Statin (VSS) will cmprise tw rings cnnected by spkes. The inner circle will be fitted with spacecraft dcking statins（對接站）fr guests. The uter ring will huse the rms, restaurants, bars, gyms, and scientific research labs. The slar-pwered htel will spin at speeds high enugh t create artificial gravity, ensuring guests a cmfrtable stay. OAC hpes t attract nt just turists but als scientists, astrnauts n lng-distance missins, and even sme semi-permanent residents.
While the idea is interesting, making VSS a reality will take time. The team is currently building mdules（艙）fr a smaller prttype ring. The mdules will be assembled（裝配）in zer-gravity, using semi-autmatic rbtic tls made fr the purpse. Once cmpleted, engineers will attempt t create artificial gravity similar t that n Mars — abut 40 percent that f Earth.
Even if the prttype is wildly successful, transprting the mdules t space will cst tens f billins f dllars. Hwever, OAC, which expects t charge $5 millin per persn fr each 3-day stay, is cnfident it will recup the expense.
Guests at the VSS will be living in the greatest luxury. “Yu’re ging t have the tp chefs making really gd fd,” Orbital CEO Jhn Blincw said. “And when yu pay $5 millin t g smewhere, it’s nt ging t be burgers and fries. And we want t have famus stars like Sting and Beyncé cme up and play.” Visitrs will als be able t participate in recreatinal activities that are nt pssible n Earth. Amng the prpsed ideas are zer gravity basketball games. Blincw said, “When yu jump in space, yu jump five times higher.” Als under cnsideratin are spacewalks t allw visitrs t enjy clear views f Earth and space. If everything ges accrding t plan, the cmpany plans t welcme the first visitrs t the VSS in 2027.

B. It aims t prvide space entertainment fr peple.
C. It has dcking flights fr turists ging back and frth.
D. It ffers a csy envirnment thrugh high-speed spinning.
2. What stage is the VSS still at?
A. Testing.B. Designing.
C. Discussing.D. Adjusting.
3. What d the underlined wrds “recup the expense” prbably mean?
A. Recver the csts.B. Deserve the mney.
C. Charge a high price.D. Attract the investment.
4. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?

B. VSS will invite stars t bst its ppularity.
C. Zer-gravity activities will be a highlight f VSS.
D. The luxurius tur has arused widespread disagreement.
