[Day 677 2016-08-03]Lesson 35-1 Space odyssey
The Moon is likely to become the industrial hub of the Solar System, supplying the rocket fuels for its ships, easily obtainable from the lunar rocks in the form of liquid oxygen. The reason lies in its gravity. Because the Moon has only an eightieth of the Earth's mass, it requires 97 per cent less energy to travel the quarter of a million miles from the Moon to Earth-orbit than the 200 mile-journey from Earth's surface into orbit!
This may sound fantastic, but it is easily calculated. To escape from the Earth in a rocket, one must travel at seven miles per second. The comparable speed from the Moon is only 1.5 miles per second.

Because the gravity on the Moon's surface is only a sixth of Earth's (remember how easily the Apollo astronauts bounded along), it takes much less energy to accelerate to that 1.5 miles per second than it does on Earth. Moon-dwellers will be able to fly in space at only three per cent of the cost of similar journeys by their terrestrial cousins.
Arthur C. Clark once suggested a revolutionary idea passes through three phases: 1 'It's impossible -- don't waste my time.'
2 'It's possible, but not worth doing.'
3 'I said it was a good idea all along.'

點(diǎn)評:
hazel說:我聲音洪亮,有語調(diào)和停頓eightieth 的e沒出來,calculate的ca注意一下
Anda:m放在結(jié)尾的問題,容易被漏掉略荡;oxygen英音的讀法o不太一樣消别,去查一下擂红;escape讀的不太好土砂;five沒讀好~
糾正後:calculated/[?k?lkj?le?t?d];escape/[?s?ke?p] 要特別注意乏悄,然後oxygen的o要發(fā)英音版
聽到anda發(fā)comparable與錄音不太相同龙亲,後來查字典後陕凹,comparable
Pronunciation: /?k?mp(?)r?b(?)l/,重音應(yīng)該放在後頭鳄炉。
課文涉及哪些訊息杜耙?太空人中,月球與地球之間的比較
表達(dá)啥意思拂盯?相對地球佑女,月球上相關(guān)資料,像是能量消耗比谈竿、比重
我可以應(yīng)用在啥場景团驱?在理解外太空時(shí),可以了解一些關(guān)鍵字空凸,像是orbit,astronaut
哪些詞讓我印象深刻嚎花?The Apollo astronauts bounded along
我可以積累啥半成品?描述都市居民住的狀況
The majority of urban dwellers live in? small apartments.
