Scientists would like to place a huge mirror in space above the earth. It might be sixty miles wide. It would be used to catch the rays (光线) of the sun. It would direct the sun’s rays upon the earth as a child might do to make sunlight dance on the wall with a hand mirror.
Why do they want to do this? The sun’s rays could be helpful in many ways. They could light up cities by night. The warm rays could stop frosts (霜冻) which might come at night and hurt fruit crops. They could melt (融化) dangerous icebergs in the ocean. Perhaps they could change cloud movements and bring rain where it is needed.
【小题1】The huge mirror would ______.

A．stand 60 miles in height (高度)	B．be 60 miles from side to side
C．cover 60 miles of the earth	D．be 60 miles above the earth

【小题2】The mirror would be used to ______.

A．reflect (反射) sunlight	B．absorb (吸收) sunlight
C．see what the earth looks like	D．see how clouds move

【小题3】The strong light from the mirror could possibly ______.

A．hurt fruit crops	B．set fire to cities
C．bring longer daytime	D．shine through walls

【小题4】The huge mirror is ______.

A．something in a story	B．already made
C．just an idea	D．to be made soon
