Virgin Galactic chuẩn bị tiết lộ Máy bay tên lửa du lịch vũ trụ mới

Virgin Galactic sẽ tung ra một phiên bản mới của tên lửa du lịch không gian SpaceShipTwo của nó vào Thứ Sáu khi nó chuẩn bị để trở về thử nghiệm chuyến bay lần đầu tiên kể từ khi một vụ tai nạn năm 2014. 

SpaceShipTwo được thiết kế để bay bởi một trong hai phi hành đoàn và đưa sáu hành khách đến rìa không gian. Ở độ cao trên 62 dặm, hành khách sẽ trải nghiệm một vài phút không trọng lượng và xem trái đất bên dưới.

Sau nhiều năm phát triển, Virgin Galactic dường như đang đến gần mục tiêu làm cho dân thường thành phi hành gia. SpaceShipTwo đầu tiên đã vỡ ra thành từng mảnh vào ngày 31 tháng mười năm 2014. 

Cuộc điều tra cho thấy phi công phụ Michael Alsbury đã mở khoá cái gọi là hệ thống phủ đầy lông nhằm mục đích làm chậm lại và ổn định con tàu khi nó vào lại khí quyển. Alsbury đã bị chết, nhưng phi công Peter Siebold, mặc dù bị thương nặng, đã nhảy dù an toàn.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question. Alaska is disappearing slowly, but surely. It is estimated that since the 19505, as much as fifteen percent of Alaska's land area has disappeared. How can a whole state be disappearing? The problem is that Alaska’s glaciers are melting. The state has more than 100,000 glaciers. These glaciers account for about 75,000 square kilometers, or five percent, of the state’s area....

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question.

Alaska is disappearing slowly, but surely. It is estimated that since the 19505, as much as fifteen percent of Alaska's land area has disappeared. How can a whole state be disappearing? The problem is that Alaska’s glaciers are melting. The state has more than 100,000 glaciers. These glaciers account for about 75,000 square kilometers, or five percent, of the state’s area. That is an area of land larger than Ireland!

According to a recent report by the US Geological Survey, ninety-nine percent of Alaska's glaciers are either retreating or diminishing. This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global temperatures. Since the 19605, the average year-round temperature has increased by almost 3°C. Additionally, the average winter temperature has increased by over 6°C. Presently, an estimated 100 cubic kilometers of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be even more in the near future, as some scientists predict that the average world temperature could go up 4 to 7°C by the year 2100.

Another problem facing Alaska is its thawing permafrost. Much of the land in Alaska used to be permanently frozen or frozen for most of the year. Now, the thawing permafrost is causing a number of problems for people living in Alaska. Roads and utility poles are collapsing as the ground around and under them warms and soften. Also, the hard permafrost that originally prevented beaches from eroding during violent storms is now melting. People who live along Alaska's coasts are being forced to relocate. For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm could wipe out the entire community.

The melting permafrost and increasing temperatures are both affecting the forests of Alaska. As the permafrost under the forests melts, insects that normally do not turn up until the warmer seasons are appearing sooner. The spruce-bark beetle, for example, is increasing in numbers as a result of warmer winter temperatures. It usually takes about two years for these beetles to grow and reproduce in. very cold weather. However, due to the increase in temperatures, spruce-bark beetles are reproducing faster and damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged in two. If something cannot be done to

change things, Alaska's forests will not survive the turn of the century.

Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in weather temperature. Whatever the cause of rising temperatures may be, the fact remains that temperatures are warming, affecting Alaska for the worse. Horribly, this could be a preview of what will happen to the rest of the world in the next century.

Which of the following could be the main topic of the passage?

A. Alaska’s glaciers are reducing. 

B. The reasons Why Alaska is disappearing. 

C. The areas of Alaska’s glaciers are thawing. 

D. The problems Alaska is facing.
