The Hubble telescope was launched into space by NASA on April 20,1990 at a cost of over a billion dollars. Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. The pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty! NASA is now going to put the telescope right, so it will soon be sending up four astronauts to repair it. The shuttle Endeavour will be taking the astronauts to the Hubble. A robot-arm from the Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold it while the astronauts make the necessary repairs. Of course, the Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen. The Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe. By the time you read this, the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures.

任务配置:L0+L1+L4
笔记:
1.音标学习
/ ʊ /,单元音后元音,这个音标在英式音标中的符号是/ʊ/,旧版的音标符号是[u],美式英标与之对应有符号[ʊ]。
①发音方法:
1)双唇收圆,稍稍向外突出,嘴形小而圆,嘴角肌肉放松。
2)舍身后缩,舌尖离开下齿。
3)舌后部向软颚抬起,震动声带,短促有力发出/ʊ/音。
②本文中含有这个音标的单词:无;常见词汇练习:book,full,good。
2.知识点
(1)Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. 从最开始哈勃望远镜就有问题。
start为名词,表示“开始”、“开端”,from the start表示“从开始时”,副词right起强调作用
(2)NASA is now going to put the telescope right…国家航天局准备纠正这一错误……
put right表示“修好(故障等)”、“校正”、“纠正”等
(3)…the Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen.……哈勃位于地球的大气层之外,因此,它很快就会给我们传送我们所见到过的、有关恒星和远距离星系的最清晰的照片。
形容词最高级后面的关系从句常用…ever heard, met, read,seen等完成式:This is the longest book (that) I have ever read.
(4)…the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures.……敏锐的哈勃望远镜将已经为我们送来了成千上万张精彩的照片。
①eagle eye的含义是“鹰眼”、“锐利目光”;
②在表示“几千”、“数千”、“许许多多”、“成千上万”这些数字概念时可用thousands(of…)。
