    1. 阅读理解

        A home science experiment recently took
    the world by storm
    . Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man
    rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut's trip on film.

        Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both
    17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above
    the Earth. This is inside a part of Earth's atmosphere.

        The two teens were inspired by a
    similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of
    Technology(MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera
    into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad
    then spend four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the
    space.

        Travelling to space is
    expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down.
    They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man's
    parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$400.

        "We had a lot of anxiety
    on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up," Mathew
    told reporters. They had to pump extra helium(氦)into the balloon so that it
    would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong
    winds.

        The toy astronaut's journey
    lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth. Mathew
    and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed
    76miles away from the launch site.

        The student scientists are
    currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for
    colleges. They are also looking into more do-it-yourself space projects.

        "I guess the sky is not
    really the limit anymore," Mathew told reporters. "We never knew we'd
    get this far. It's been a lesson for us that hard work pays off."

      C . They launched weather balloon together with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.

      D . They studied with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad in the same school.

      (3)How did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad keep their costs down?

      A . By sewing the weather balloon themselves.

      B . By borrowing spacecraft from the MIT students.

      C . By making their spacecraft by hand.

      D . By using second-hand equipment.

      (4)What problems did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad have on launch day?

      A . They ran out of helium.

      B . The wind was too strong.

      C . The balloon suddenly broke.

      D . Their spacecraft was blown away.
