44、to space. The telescope is called WISE and is about as wide around as a trashcan. Dont let its small size fool you: WISE has a powerful digital camera, and it will be taking pictures of some the wildest objects in the known universe, including asteroids, faint stars, blazing galaxies and giant cloud

45、s of dust where planets and stars are born.Im very excited because were going to be seeing parts of the universe that we havent seen before, said Ned Wright, a scientist who directs the WISE project.Since arriving in space, the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth, held by gravity in a polar o

46、rbitthis means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap 一圈 .Its camera is pointed outward, away from the Earth, and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes. After six months it will have taken pictures across the entire sky.The pictures taken by WI

47、SE wont be like everyday digital photographs, however. WISE stands for Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. As its name suggests, the WISE camera takes pictures of features that give off infrared radiation 红外线辐射 .Radiation is energy that travels as a wave. Visible light, including the familiar spect

48、rum of Light光谱 that becomesvisible in a rainbow, is an example of radiation. When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a tree, for example, it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree. When these waves enter the camera through the lens, theyre processed by the cam

49、era, which then puts the image together.Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light, so ordinary digital cameras dont see them, and neither do the eyes of human beings. Although invisible to the eye, longer infrared radiation can be detected as warmth by the skin.Thats a key i

50、dea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes cant. Not everything in the universe shows up in visible light. Asteroids, for example, are giant rocks that float through space but they absorb most of the light thatreaches them. They dont reflect light, so they are difficult to see. But

51、they do give off infrared radiation, so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them. During its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.Brown dwarfs 褐矮星 are another kind of deep-space object that will show up in WISEs pictures. These objects a

52、re failed stars which means they are not massive enough to jump start the same kind of reactions that power stars such as the sun. Instead, brown dwarfs simply shrink and cool down. Theyre so dim that theyre almost impossible to see with visible light, but in the infrared spectrum they glow.74. What

53、 is so special about WISE?A. Its digital camera can help astronomers to see the unknown space.B. It is as small as a trashcan.C. It is small in size but carries a large camera.D. Never before has a telescope carried a digital camera in space.75. The camera on WISE .A. is not different from an ordina

54、ry cameraB. does not see infrared radiation while the ordinary camera doesC. reflects light that human eyes can seeD. catches the infrared radiation while the ordinary camera does not76. Which of the following is NOT correct about asteroids according to paragraph 7?A. Asteroids do not reflect light

55、that reaches them.B. Asteroids float through space giving off visible light.C. It is difficult to take asteroids pictures by ordinary cameras.D. The WISE telescope can take pictures of asteroids.77. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Brown dwarfs give off visible light.B. Brown dwarfs are powe

56、r stars like the sun.C. Brown dwarfs give off infrared radiation.D. Brown dwarfs are impossible to see with the WISE telescope.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.
