28、的行星变成了一颗矮行星。2.A主旨大意题。根据文章的整体内容可推知,本文主要介绍了冥王星被发现的过程以及对人类的意义,故“冥王星的传奇故事”适合做文章的标题。3.C推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句“ClydeTombaughwasaKansasfarmboywhobuilttelescopesoutofspareautoparts,oldfarmequipmentandself-groundlenses.”可知,克莱德汤博所使用的望远镜比较简单。4.D句意猜测题。根据最后一段的第二句“Itsareminderthattherearemanyworldsouttherebeyondourownan
29、dthattheskyisntthelimitatall.”和第三段中的“.becauseitwasamysterythatcouldcompleteourpictureofwhatitwaslikeatthemostremotecornersofoursolarsystem.”可推知,冥王星虽然不是太阳系边缘的行星,但是它的发现意义重大,比行星还重要。【解题导语】自2000年投入使用以来,中国自主研发的北斗卫星导航系统在日常生活中的应用越来越多。5.D推理判断题。根据第一段的“.theGlobalPositioningSystem.RussiasGlobalNavigationSatelli
