23、The $10bn James Webb telescope has left Earth on its mission to show the first stars to light up the Universe. The observatory was lifted skyward by an Ariane rocket from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana. Its flight to orbit was expected to last just under half an hour, with a signal confirming a successful outcome due to be picked up in Kenya.

Webb, named after one of the architects of the Apollo Moon landings, is the successor to the Hubble telescope.

Lift-off was eagerly awaited but accompanied also by a good deal of anxiety. Thousands of people worldwide have worked on the project over the past 30 years, and even though the Ariane is a very dependable vehicle—there are no guarantees when it comes to rockets.

“Webb is an extraordinary mission,” US space agency administrator Bill Nelson said before, lift-off. “It’s a shining example of what we can accomplish when we dream big. We’ve always known that this project would be a risky endeavor (effort). But, of course, when you want big reward, you have to usually take a big risk.” At the core of the new facility’s capabilities is its 6.5m-wide golden mirror. This is almost three times wider than the primary reflector on Hubble.

The enlarged reflector, combined with four super-sensitive instruments, should enable astronomers to look deeper into space — and thus further back in time — than ever before. A key target will be the age of the pioneer stars that ended the darkness, theorized to have gripped (controlled) the universe shortly after the Big Ban more than 13.5 billion years ago. Another important goal for Webb will be to probe atmospheres of distant planets. This will help researchers judge whether these worlds are in any way habitable.

Webb’s launch is only the start of what will be a complex series of initial activities over the next six months. The telescope is being put on a path to an observing station some 1.5 million km beyond the Earth. In the course of travelling to this location, Webb will have to unpack itself from the folded configuration it adopted at launch.

“And then the critical thing is that it all has to get very cold,” explained Mark Mark McCaughrean, senior science adviser with the European Space Agency. This telescope actually will be at minus 233 degrees Celsius. Only then will it stop glowing at the infrared wavelengths beyond the visible where we want this telescope to work. And only then will it be able to take the sensitive pictures of the distant universe where the first galaxies were born, and of planets going around other stars. So there’s a long way to go.” (From BBC, Dec 25, 2021)

【1】Why were scientists worried when Webb was launched into space?

A．Because it is very expensive and delicate.

B．Because a lot of efforts have been devoted to it.

C．Because something unpredictable may happen to the rocket.

D．Because its signal may not be picked up in Kenya.

【2】Compared to the Hubble telescope, Webb owns the following characteristics except ________

A．It is more powerful and advanced.

B．It has a larger reflector and more sensitive equipment.

C．It will theorize the darkness after the Big Bang.

D．It will help scientists see further in distance and time.

【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．It will take six months for Webb to function smoothly.

B．Webb will be put at a higher position in space than Hubble.

C．Webb will fold itself once launched into space.

D．Certain circumstances will be needed for Webb to operate.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A．James Webb Space Telescope lifts off on historic mission.

B．Hubble Telescope is to retire from space soon.

C．A risky but rewarding endeavor is to be made by humans.

D．Humans are to explore the origin of the universe.
