Engineers at the University f Arizna and a scientist at the American space agency NASA have develped a lightweight sailplane that can fly abve Mars fr several days at a time. The plane is equipped with flight, temperature and gas sensrs, as well as cameras. It is designed t gather data abut the Red Planet’s atmsphere.
There are currently eight active spacecraft rbiting Mars and three rver vehicles als explring the surface. But these research vehicles are limited in their ability t cllect data n the area just abve the Mars surface, because they depend n energy frm the sun and need batteries t perate.
The researchers say the sailplane they develped is lightweight and lw-cst. It will be able t use a methd called dynamic saring. This methd permits a plane t gain energy by repeatedly crssing bundaries between air masses f different strength levels. This kind f wind activity is knwn t be cmmn n Mars.
NASA has experimented with a small helicpter n Mars, the Ingenuity. S far, tests f Ingenuity have been successful. But the experimental helicpter is nly able t fly fr a few minutes at a time and can nly reach heights f abut 12 meters. “Its technlgy has been very limited by energy,” says the study’s lead authr, Adrien Buskela. Sailplanes, n the ther hand, can fly ver the Martian skies fr days, allwing them t reach far beynd Ingenuity and visit new places.
The team has carried ut tests f the sailplane by attaching it t a balln flating in the sky. Mre tests are planned fr this summer when researchers are expected t send the plane up t abut 4500 meters abve sea level, where Earth’s atmsphere is thinner and flight cnditins are similar t thse f Mars. “We can use Earth as a labratry t study fight t Mars,” said Sergei Shakrayev, a prfessr at the University f Arizna.
12. Why d peple create the lightweight sailplane?
A. T detect the resurces n Mars.B. T explre the atmsphere n Mars.
C. T cllect the data f the uter space.D. T recrd changes in the slar system.
13. What is the advantage f the sailplane cmpared with ther research vehicles?
A. It is easier t perate.B. It can be pwered by wind.
C. It prvides mre accurate data.D. It weighs less and mves faster.
14. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing statements is NOT true?
A. The develpment f the sailplane cst less.
B. Sailplanes can wrk lnger than ther research vehicles.
C. The Ingenuity can reach heights f mre than 12 meters.
D. T cllect data, sme research vehicles are being used t explre the Mars.
15. What can yu infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Researchers will d mre tests in the labratry.
B. Researchers will apply the sailplane t ther fields.
C. Earth’s atmsphere is thinner than that n the Mars.
D. Researchers will test the sailplane at high altitudes.

It will be able t use a methd called dynamic saring. This methd permits a plane t gain energy by repeatedly crssing bundaries between air masses f different strength levels.(研究人员表示，他们开发的滑翔机重量轻，成本低。它将能够使用一种叫做动态飙升的方法。这种方法允许滑翔机通过反复穿越不同强度气团之间的边界来获得能量。)”可知，与其他研究工具相比，滑翔机的优势是它可以由风驱动。故选B。
【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“But the experimental helicpter is nly able t fly fr a few minutes at a time and can nly reach heights f abut 12 meters.(但这架实验性直升机一次只能飞行几分钟，而且只能达到12米左右的高度。)”可知，C选项“The Ingenuity can reach heights f mre than 12 meters.(Ingenuity可以达到12米以上的高度。)”是不正确的，故选C。
【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Mre tests are planned fr this summer when researchers are expected t send the plane up t abut 4500 meters abve sea level, where Earth’s atmsphere is thinner and flight cnditins are similar t thse f Mars.(今年夏天计划进行更多的测试，届时研究人员预计将把飞机送到海拔约4500米的地方，那里的地球大气层更薄，飞行条件与火星相似。)”可知，研究人员将在高海拔地区对滑翔机进行测试。故选D。

【37题详解】考查形容词。句意：这是一次令人大开眼界的经历，挑战了我对各种动物如何用于旅游的一些信念。空处修饰名词animals，应用形容词形式作定语，varius/varied是形容词，表示“各种各样的”，符合题意。故填varius/varied。

【41题详解】考查时态。句意：由于人们受够了偷猎，人们认为圈养大象比野生大象更好。be fed up with为固定短语，表示“厌烦，受够了”，根据句中is可知，句子使用一般现在时，主语是peple，be动词使用are，即are fed；或者从句描述过去的动作对现在有影响，使用现在完成时，主语是peple，谓语动词使用have been fed。故填are fed/have been fed。
【42题详解】考查形容词。句意：由于人们受够了偷猎，人们认为圈养大象比野生大象更好。结合语意以及句中的than可知，空处应用形容词的比较级形式better，表示“更好的 ”。故填better。
【43题详解】考查代词。句意：大多数素食主义者会告诉你，你不应该让自己参加任何关于动物的旅游活动。空处作动词let的宾语，且与主语yu一致，所以空处应用反身代词yurself，表示“你自己”。故填yurself。
【44题详解】考查冠词。句意：大部分钱来自那些想近距离观看这些动物的游客。结合语意可知，此处特指大部分的钱，空处应用定冠词the表示特指。故填the。
