A satellite is an bject in space that rbits arund anther. It has tw kinds — natural satellites
and artificial satellites. The mn is a natural satellite that mves arund the earth while artificial
satellites are thse made by man.
Despite their widespread impact n daily life, artificial satellites mainly depend n different
cmplicated makeups. On the utside, they may lk like a wheel, equipped with slar panels r sails. Inside, the satellites cntain missin-specific scientific instruments, which include whatever tls the
satellites need t perfrm - their wrk. Amng them, high-reslutin cameras and cmmunicatin electrnics are typical nes. Besides, the part that carries the lad and hlds all the parts tgether is called
the bus.
Artificial satellites perate in a systematic way just like humans. Cmputers functin as the
satellite's brain, which receive infrmatin, interpret it, and send messages back t the earth. Advanced digital cameras serve as the satellite's eyes. Sensrs are ther imprtant parts that nt nly recgnize light, heat. and gases, but als recrd changes in what is being bserved. Radis n the satellite send infrmatin back t the earth. Slar panels prvide electrical pwer fr the cmputers and ther equipment, as well as the pwer t mve the satellite frward.
Artificial satellites use gravity t stay in their rbits. Earth's gravity pulls everything tward the center f. the planet. T stay in the earth's rbit, the speed f a satellite must adjust t the tiniest changes in the pull f gravity. The satellite's speed wrks against earth's gravity just enugh s that it desn't g speeding int space r falling back t the earth.
Rckets carry satellites t different types and heights f rbits, based n the tasks they need t perfrm. Satellites clser t the earth are in lw-earth rbit, which can be 200-500 miles high. The clser t the earth, the strnger the gravity is. Therefre, these satellites must travel at abut 17,000 miles per hur t keep frm falling back t the earth, while higher-rbiting satellites can travel mre slwly.
28. What is Paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. The appearance f artificial satellites. B. The cmpnents f artificial satellites.
·C. The basic functin f artificial satellites. D. The specific missin f artificial satellites.
29· What is the rle f cmputers in artificial satellites?
3
A. Prviding electrical pwer. B. Recrding changes bserved.
C. Mnitring space envirnment. D. Prcessing infrmatin received.
30. Hw d artificial satellites stay in their rbits?
A. By relying n pwerful rckets t get ut f gravity.
B. By rbiting at a fixed speed regardless f gravity's pull.
C. By changing speed cnstantly based n the pull f gravity.
D. By resisting-the pull f gravity with advanced technlgies.
31. Why d satellites in higher-earth rbit travel mre slwly?
A. They are mre affected by earth's gravity.
B. They take advantage f rckets mre effectively.
C. They have weaker pull f gravity in higher rbits.
D. They are equipped with mre advanced instruments.
