1、地球与宇宙奥秘探索.阅读理解China has become the first country to successfully land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon. The unmanned Change4 probe (探测器) has also made the first lunar landing since 2019. It has the task of exploring the side of the moon that never faces the earth. The dark side of the moon i
2、s older and has a thicker surface than the visible side. It takes the moon as long to go around on its own axis (轴) as it does for one complete orbit around the Earth.The Chinese probe landed in a huge crater 2,500km in diameter and 13km deep. The crater is one of the oldest parts of the moon and ou
3、r solar system.Scientists hope to learn more about the geology of the far side of the moon. The craft has two cameras on board which will send images back to earth. It will also attempt to send signals to distant regions of space, something that cannot happen on earth because of too much radio noise
4、.Change4 also has instruments on board to examine minerals as well as a container with seeds which will try to create a miniature (微型的) biosphere (生物圈)Communication with the spacecraft is not easy. Images and other data must be transmitted to a separate satellite because no direct communication with
5、 the earth is possible.For China the Change4 mission is an important achievement, because the country has successfully done something no other nation on earth has. It wants to become a leading power in space exploration and has announced plans to send astronauts to the moon and set up its own space
