When Jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’ t see just the stars. He sees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer space and the alien (外星的) beings he thinks might live there.
In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officer and decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses on preventing astronauts from accidentally bringing extremely small, potentially dangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not take Earth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124, 406 to $187, 000 per year.
Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. " My sister says I am an alien, " Jack wrote, pointing out that since he is young, he can "learn to think like an alien". He signed the letter "Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy".
Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’ s planetary science director, James L. Green. "We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us, " Green wrote. "I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!"
Jack said he was "shocked" when Green’ s response arrived. "I shouted, I got a letter from NASA!"
Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a "gravity assist". Spacecraft use gravity assistance from objects like planets and moons to help power the craft toward another celestial(天上的)body. Green hopes a reply can influence a person’ s path in life in a similar way.
Which of the following can best describe Jack Davis?
选项
A、Mature.
B、Curious.
C、Talented.
D、Honest.
答案
B
解析
推理题。根据文章第一段第三句、第二段及第三段第一句可知,杰克对外太空和外星人很感兴趣,当他听说美国宇航局在找新的行星保护官的时候,他就给他们写了一封信,说明自己可以胜任这份工作的条件。据此可推测,选项B(好奇的)最符合文章意思。选项A(成熟的)、选项C(有天赋的)和选项D(诚实的)均不能从文中推测出来。故本题选B。
