Shenzhou-17 crewed spaceflight mission successfully launched
（文章来源：Global Times）
On the momentous occasion of the 20th anniversary of China's first manned spaceflight the Shenzhou-5, the Shenzhou-17 spacecraft soared into the sky from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on Thursday morning at 11:14 am.
Sitting atop the Long March-2F Y17 carrier rocket, the spacecraft, carrying taikonauts Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie, and Jiang Xinlin, embarked on the journey toward the China Space Station. Following a smooth flight of around 10 minutes , the Shenzhou-17 spacecraft entered its planned orbit, marking a successful launch, according to the official release by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA.)
The average age of the crew of taikonauts of Shenzhou-17 mission is a markedly young at 39, setting a record for China's manned space history.
The Shenzhou-17 spacecraft is now on its way to the China Space Station, and according to the mission plan, it will carry out a fast rendezvous and docking with the Tianhe space station core module at the front port around 6.5 hours after liftoff.
The Tiangong space station is hours away from staging another a great feat of an in-orbit reunion of six taikonauts, continuing the new norm for the China Space Station with permanent occupation of taikonauts, mission insiders hailed.
The collaboration between the two crew groups will mark a significant step in China's ongoing space exploration endeavors, reinforcing its capability and commitment to long-term space habitation and research, they noted.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of China's first manned spaceflight mission the Shenzhou-5. In the past 20 years, China has carried out 12 such crewed missions including the latest Shenzhou-17 mission, with a perfect success rate.
Since its inaugural flight in 1999, the Long March 2F rocket, the country's first and only manned carrier rocket, has maintained a flawless record.
Through continuous efforts to address weak links and optimize technical conditions, the reliability assessment of Long March 2F rocket has now increased to 0.9896, with a safety assessment value reaching 0.99996. This showcases the rigorous enhancements and technical advancements that have been implemented to ensure the rocket's reliability and safety over the years, the rocket developer the state-owned China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) told the Global Times on Thursday.
Currently, the "one-launch-one-standby" launch process of the Long March 2F rocket has been compressed from 49 days during the initial construction phase of the space station to 35 days. Now, efforts are underway to further optimize and improve the process aiming for a 30-day target, to better meet the demands of the space station's application and development phase, developers said.
According to them, in the coming years, the Long March 2F rocket is set to continue its high-frequency launch schedule with two launches per year. It will play a crucial role in the operation of China's space station, demonstrating its pivotal role in supporting the country's ambitious space exploration and operation endeavors.
The Shenzhou-17 crewed flight mission, the 30th flight mission since the establishment of China's manned space program in 1992, has some crucial objectives.
The mission's primary goal includes completing the in-orbit crew rotation with the Shenzhou-16 trio, before they carry on to conduct an approximate six-month stay in space until April 2024.
During this period, the crew will engage in on-orbit trials of space science and application payloads, conduct extravehicular activities, commonly known as spacewalks, and perform payload extravehicular operations, which according to the CMSA, will also involve the installation of extravehicular payloads and maintenance tasks on the space station.
Moreover, the mission will continually evaluate the functional performance of the space station assembly, accumulating precious data and experience regarding space station operations. This initiative aims to assess the coordination and compatibility of the ground support center in managing space station operational tasks, thereby enriching the operational efficiency and troubleshooting capabilities of the space station, the CMSA said.
A significant highlight of the Shenzhou-17 mission is the pioneering experimental extravehicular repair operations to be undertaken on the space station, which will be a historic first.
Also, the Shenzhou-17 mission will carry a significant "Space Protein Molecular Assembly and Application Research" project, the Global Times learned from the space application system personnel on Thursday.
Aiming to advance humanity's health, the project encompasses 29 samples across five categories: proteins, polypeptides, nucleic acids, biological materials, and pharmaceutical materials. Samples include insulin, cancer treatment protein complexes, nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen polypeptide, and lysozyme, which were transferred to the launch tower about eight hours before launch, and placed inside the Shenzhou spacecraft to be launched into space, Cang Huaixing, a research fellow with the Center for Space Application Engineering and Technology, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the Global Times.

（2023·烟台期中）Lufinha has crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat powered only by the sun and wind. He used kites to move the boat and solar power to use lights and equipment on the boat. He expects his trip will earn him a Guinness World Record for Fastest Solo Atlantic Crossing by Kite Boat. He also hopes to help people understand the need to protect the oceans.
The kite-powered boat reached top speeds of over 30 kilometers per hour. Lufinha traveled 6,400 kilometers in 25 days. The 38-year-old set out from Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal on November 3, 2022, and arrived in Martinique on December 20, Lufinha was not at sea for all that time, however. He made a planned stop at the Canary Islands on November 8. But he had to stay longer than planned because of the powerful storm and he remained there until November 30.
Lufinha made the crossing completely alone in a 7.2-meter-long and 5.6-meter-wide trimaran, a boat which has three long, thin parts, with a small room for sleeping and shelter. Lufinha used a hand pump (抽水机) to produce water for drinking and cooking. He said, “I have two such water makers, which I can pump and every hour I can make around four liters of water.” The water pump has a special filter (过滤器) to remove salt from the sea water. Lufinha used the water to add to dried food he carried with him on the boat.
He called his trip “a big learning experience”. It was a big test of his adaptability. He learned most of all to look at his problems relatively. He had so many problems all of the time, such as kites getting torn and kites exploding (爆炸). And the only way not to suffer was to think, “It could be worse.” He said his way of thinking during the difficult crossing helped him get through it hour by hour, day by day, week by week until he finished this Atlantic crossing.
1．What’s one of the purposes of Lufinha’s trip
A．To set a new world record.
B．To map out a new sailing route.

（2022上·浙江嘉兴·高二校考期中）In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attractive to young Henson. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport. The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to seek work on a sailing ship.
In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D．C． One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him.
The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean voyages, so he introduced Peary to Henson. Henson and Peary soon found they had a great deal in common, including their love of the sea.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and intelligent seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.
Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship and suffering in the arctic cold had taken their toll on both men. This would be their last chance.
In April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievement. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
5．What can we know about Henson from Paragraph 1
A．He was highly educated. B．He was skilled in sailing.
C．He used to travel at sea. D．He was interested in sea exploring.
6．What does Paragraph 3 mainly state
A．Why Matthew Henson went to the hat shop.
B．How Matthew Henson met Robert Peary.
C．Why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie Hinds.
D．How the shop owner knew that Matthew Henson had sea experience.
7．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 7
A．Helped them both. B．Satisfied them both.
C．Weakened them both. D．Enlightened them both.
8．The story between Henson and Peary could best be compared to ______.
A．sailors seeking power over others B．fighters exploring an unknown land
C．treasure hunters looking for fortunes D．soldiers fighting for their freedom
【答案】5．D 6．B 7．C 8．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位名叫马修·亨森的人，在年轻时追求航海生涯，在一艘叫做凯蒂·汉兹的船上工作五年，积累了丰富的航海经验。后来，他遇到了罗伯特·皮蒂上尉，并与他一起前往北极探险。经过多年的探险努力，他们在1909年成功到达了北极点，成为了英雄。
5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attractive to young Henson.( 1880年，14岁的马修·亨森喜欢听水手们讲述他们激动人心的海上生活。旅行、冒险、危险和稳定的收入对年轻的汉森都很有吸引力)”可推知，马修·亨森对海上旅行和探险非常感兴趣。故选D。
6．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him.(1887年的一天，一个男人进来买帽子。这名男子名叫罗伯特·皮尔里中尉，他问船主是否认识有海上经验的人。皮尔里不久将代表美国政府前往南美洲。他需要有经验的人陪伴)”可知，本段主要讲述的是马修·亨森遇到罗伯特·皮尔里的经过。故选B。
7．词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. (1908年，皮尔里和亨森准备进行他们到达北极的最后一次尝试。两人都已年过四十)”以及“The years of hardship and suffering (艰难困苦的岁月)”可知，多少年来，两人为了尝试到达北极经历了许多艰苦的岁月，两人都已经年过四十了。由此推知，多年的艰苦岁月不断地消磨着他们，削弱着他们。故划线词组与C选项“Weakened them both.(削弱了他们两个)”为同义词。故选C。
8．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.( 1909年4月，汉森的仪器显示他们正站在北极。亨森和皮尔里一起在雪地里插上了美国国旗)”以及最后一段“In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievement. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.( 在后来的几年里，罗伯特·皮尔里和亨森因他们的成就而受到极大的尊重。今天，这两位朋友和探险者同伴躺在阿灵顿国家公墓不远处的英雄坟墓里)”可知，二人多次努力，最终成功到达了北极极点。这个旅途非常艰难，两个人都吃了不少的苦头，直到40多岁才成功。由此推知，整个过程就像斗士在一片未知的土地上完成任务一般。故选B。高中英语时文阅读外刊精选精练
