It can be described as an aluminum【C1】______ with a diameter of 58 centimeters and weighing 83.6 kilograms,【C2】______ with instruments to measure the temperature and the【C3】______ of the atmosphere. Sputnik I was launched into【C4】______ around the Earth by the former Soviet Union on 4 October 1957. Since then, hundreds of artificial satellites have been launched,【C5】______ with a different function.

    Each satellite has its own orbit which is【C15】______ according to its purpose. Communications satellites, for example, have a geostationary orbit. That is an orbit which turns at the same speed as the【C16】______ of the Earth.

【C1】
选项 A、scope
B、sphere
C、realm
D、planet
答案B
解析 词汇线索题。根据常识，一般只有球体(sphere)才有直径(diameter)，故B项sphere正确。scope“(活动)范围，机会，余地”；realm“领域”，不符语义。planet“行星”虽也可有直径。但和前文“史普尼克1号是第一颗人造卫星”相矛盾。
