The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?There are two opposite forces(力量)acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation(地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation(旋转)of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope(绳索) which keeps the satellite from flying away.Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth. 46. Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned?A. communicationB. monitoring the weather condition(情况)C. doing some researchD. taking pictures 47. The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by _.A. the earth B. the satellite itselfC. the rotation of the satellite D. the rope 48. Why cant the satellites fly away?A. Because of the force from the earth.B. Because the satellite is too big.C. Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.D. Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.49. The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth _.A. when it flies faster B. when its speed slows downC. when people cut the rope D. when there is no electricity in it50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are four forces acting on the satellite.B. The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.C. As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.D. The satellite will stay in space forever.BHave you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing(干扰)them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制)by adults, which causes many problems. Children dont know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives. 51. What is “Survival Holidays” according to the passage?A. It is summer holidays. B. It is winter holidays.C.
