点一下不认识的单词。

NASA is building a rover called PROMISE to explore the Moon’s South Pole. A rover is a small vehicle that moves on the Moon’s surface. PROMISE will study the ground and find resources that astronauts may need in the future.

PROMISE will be powered by a small nuclear generator. This power will help it work during the cold and dark lunar nights. The rover will carry many science tools to study the Moon. It will drill into the surface to find ice and other materials.

NASA is using parts from Mars rovers to build PROMISE. The rover will launch in late 2028 and work for about 18 months. It will send important information back to Earth. This data will help scientists build the first human base on the Moon.

PROMISE will carry tools to measure temperature, radiation, and the chemical makeup of the Moon’s soil. It will also have cameras to take pictures of the surface. Scientists hope PROMISE will find water ice, which is very important for future missions.

This mission is part of NASA’s plan to build a Moon Base where astronauts can live and work. PROMISE will help prepare for this by exploring areas where people have never been before. It will show what is possible for future space exploration.

难句解析

  1. 1

    NASA is building a rover called PROMISE to explore the Moon’s South Pole.

    "called PROMISE" 是过去分词作后置定语，修饰 "a rover"，意思是“名叫 PROMISE 的探测车”。整句意思：NASA 正在制造一辆名为 PROMISE 的月球车，用于探索月球南极。

  2. 2

    A rover is a small vehicle that moves on the Moon’s surface.

    "that moves on the Moon’s surface" 是定语从句，修饰 "vehicle"，意思是“能在月球表面移动的”。整句：月球车是一种能在月球表面移动的小型车辆。

  3. 3

    PROMISE will carry tools to measure temperature, radiation, and the chemical makeup of the Moon’s soil.

    "the chemical makeup" 这里 "makeup" 不是“化妆”，而是“成分、组成”。整句意思：PROMISE 将携带工具来测量温度、辐射和月球土壤的化学成分。
