You can see her pers
10、onality woven throughout the van in features like the ceiling, wood quilted doors, and even the tiny space reserved for her massage table!One of Virginias favorite parts of van life is the accepting community, regardless of how old you are or where you come from. “There are young people and older pe

16、ct volcanic eruptions and monitor air quality.Nicknamed NACHOS, which is short for the Nanosat Atmospheric Chemistry Hyperspectral Observation System, was launched from Virginia on Feb.19 aboard a NG resupply mission to the International Space Station. NACHOS will soon then be placed aboard a tiny C
17、ubeSat satellite positioned about 480 km above Earth, where NASA hopes it will be able to detect traces of gases like SO2 and NO2 in the atmosphere.“A volcano just waking up may emit SO2 before there is any detectable seismic (地震的) activity,” Los Alamos National Laboratory remote sensing researcher
18、Steve Love explained in a news release. “That gives us a chance to identify a potentially erupting volcano before it actually blows.”If successful, NACHOS will be the smallest and highest-resolution instrument of its kind in orbit. NASA says that could lead to new space-based systems that are able t
19、o monitor air quality for harmful gases in neighborhoods and individual power plants. “When we recognize that these gases are present and can localize their sources, we have the opportunity to take action and minimize negative health outcomes, ” said Love, who is a task lead on the NACHOS project.In
20、 the past, NASA has created satellites to observe these kinds of gases. But Love said those traditionally required high-resolution images and sensitive instruments that were costly to produce and operate. Smaller devices, like NACHOS, could enable a wider use of the technology at a much lower cost.
21、If it proves successful, the technology could also be used in Earth-based systems, NASA says. Love and his team expect NACHOS to orbit our planet for about a year. “That will give us enough time to test our instrument design and gather enough test data to ensure our technology concept is reasonable,
22、” Love said. “More power and less weight set NACHOS apart and make it an excellent candidate for future atmospheric trace gas missions.”8Why was the instrument NACHOS launched?ATo control emission of SO2 and NO2.BTo orbit our planet for about a year.CTo help predict the volcano eruptions.DTo resuppl
23、y the International Space Station.9What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 3 refer to?AThe launch of NACHOS.BThe detectable seismic activity.CThe gas emissions of volcanoes.DThe technology concept of the design.10What will be done once the harmful gases are detected?ATo collect the harmful
24、 gases.BTo find a shelter in power plants.CTo change the orbit of the instrument.DTo try to reduce the bad effect on health.11Which of the following might Love agree with about NACHOS?AIt is highly cost.BIt needs more power.CIt is a promising instrument.DIt has proved the technology successful.On Ma
25、rch 9, 2022, two manatees (海牛) arrived at the Aquariums off-site Animal Care Facility from SeaWorld Orlando for ongoing care until they are healthy enough for release back into the wild.The orphaned young manatees, an approximately 160-pound male and 175-pound female, were rescued in December and ha

27、ounds. The two are now stable and have moved to the next phase of their recovery.In 2021, 1,101 manatees died, primarily from starvation due to loss of seagrass in the Indian River Lagoon, a result of pollution and ongoing water quality issues. As of March 2022, over 400 manatees have already died.
28、Other challenges manatees face include cold stress and boat strikes.The MRP is a cooperative group of communities dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, release, and monitoring of manatees.

36、exciting time. _16_ Having a place to call your own gives you a great feeling of independence.

38、at the renter can get out of the agreement by simply giving the owner one-month notice to vacate (搬离). _19_ If the owner asks the renter to leave, all he or she has to do is to ask the renter to vacate in 30 days.A lease works a bit differently.

I didnt think I was going to be able to track him
