The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. 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 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 that the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash(坠落) down to the earth. 46. Which of the follwing uses of satellite ia NOT mentioned? A.communication B.monitoring the weather condition C.doing some research D.taking pictures
47.The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________. A.the earth B.the satellite itself C.the rotation of the satellite D.the rope

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. B )阅读短文,然后根据其内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(有一项为多余选项)

Make Yourself Safe before You Go
Cars are lots of fun, but they can also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them. It’s always a good habit to put on your seat belt when you’re in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the Skate board hits a stone, the egg will fly through the air, hit the ground and break just because of the sudden shop. Now, think what will happen if you tie the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying, it will stay safely on the skateboard. This example shows why it is so important to wear a seat belt when you’re in a car.
