第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The app store is flooded with astronomy-based apps that can help guide you towards celestial (天体的) wonders. But what if you’re ready to look deeper into the night sky using a telescope? Nobody wants to make a big investment, and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is a solution to that.
Celestar is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSmart Explorer app and dock have been designed to run on its telescopes. The free StarSmart Explorer app uses information based on precise location and time to tell you which stars and planets can be seen in the night sky.
How it works
Connect the phone with the telescope and select your intended celestial target. The phone will be held over an integrated mirror, so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSmart Explorer processes the information and your telescope will adjust accordingly, placing the target in the middle.
As well as locating your desired target, StarSmart Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe. The app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view.
Why it’s special
Most astronomy apps use a smartphone’s compass to estimate its position. The pointing accuracy of a smartphone has margin for error. Precision matters when it comes to stargazing.
StarSmart Explorer is the only astronomy app to use modern plate solving technology to find its target, and it claims a typical pointing accuracy of 0.25°. The app takes a picture of the night sky and matches the star pattern within the image to its internal database. It’s similar, in essence, to facial recognition.
Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSmart Explorer app is free and works well with StarSmart Explorer telescopes, starting from £299.99.
