16、r 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 s

17、ecret? 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

18、 gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour. Once escape speed has been reached by a spacecraft(宇宙飞船 ), no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will “coast“(滑行 ) the rest of the way because the Earths gravity cannot then pull it back,

19、 and there is no air resistance(阻力 ) 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 featu

20、re of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time. 28 What is the most important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth? （ A） To travel as fast as it can. （ B） To overcome the Earth gravity. （ C） To get away from the air resistance. （ D） To

21、have strong power in its operation. 29 How fast will a rocket go to escape completely from the Earths gravity? _ （ A） Seventy miles per second. （ B） Seven thousand miles per hour. （ C） Twenty-five thousand miles per second. （ D） Twenty-five thousand miles per hour. 30 As there is always the Earths g

22、ravitational pull, people _. （ A） accept it without questioning it （ B） never notice its presence （ C） hardly think about how to use it （ D） often try to escape from it 31 When a bicycle “coasts“ downhill, it _. （ A） runs along the hillside （ B） does not need any further power （ C） runs freely to al

23、l directions （ D） does not meet with air resistance 32 Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time? （ A） Few spacecrafts complete their flight operations. （ B） The Earths gravity cannot be overcome. （ C） No further power is needed after the escape speed is reached. （ D） F

24、ree fall takes the place of the Earths gravity pull. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 33 A single rocket is not powerful enough to send a spaceship into space. This is because all the fuel a single rocket can. ca

25、rry is not enough to give the necessary amount of power. To get enough fuel and power to last till the spaceship gets out of the Earths gravitation force (引力 ) , a number of rockets are needed. These rockets are connected one on top of the other, looking much like a large tower. Together they form a

26、 multi-stage rocket. The spaceship lies at the top of the multi-stage rocket. The first stage of a multi-stage rocket is called the booster. It is the biggest as it has to lift the whole thing from the ground. The booster helps to lift the rockets into the sky. When the fuel of the booster is used u

27、p, it separates from the rest of the rocket and drops to the Earth. When this happens, the second stage fires and pushes the rocket further towards space. After some time the second stage, having used up its fuel, just like the booster, separates and falls off. The spaceship is then left to travel t

28、o its destination on its own power. 33 _ can send a spaceship into space. （ A） The booster （ B） The second rocket （ C） The third rocket （ D） The multi-stage rocket 34 A multi-stage rocket refers to _ . （ A） several rockets which are separated from each other （ B） a single rocket with enough fuel （ C

29、） the booster which is the biggest and can lift the whole rocket from the ground （ D） a rocket with several parts, and each of which can help to push the spaceship into the space 35 The booster falls off as soon as _ . （ A） it uses up its fuel （ B） it flies into the sky （ C） it flies into the space

30、（ D） it lifts from the ground 36 After _ falls, the spaceship travels in space itself. （ A） the booster （ B） the first rocket （ C） the second rocket （ D） the third rocket 37 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） The spaceship travels to its destination with its own fuel. （ B） The booster separates an

31、d drops when all the fuel it carries has used up. （ C） The multi-stage rocket is powerful enough to send the spaceship to its destination. （ D） The spaceship gets out of the Earths gravitation force and flies to its destination on its own.
