The reentry capsule (航天舱) 【小题1】(carry) members of the Shenzhou XII mission has landed in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

The capsule, 【小题2】 Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo inside, 【小题3】(touch) down at 1:34 pm at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Badain Jaran Desert. Ground workers sent by the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center 【小题4】 (rush) to the landing point by helicopter and are preparing to open the capsule and then help the astronauts move out.

Nie and his team spent 92 days in space since their Shenzhou XII spacecraft was launched at the Jiuquan center on June 17. They were the first inhabitants of China’s permanent space station   【小题5】 (name) Tiangong. During   【小题6】 (they) stay with Tiangong, they carried out two extravehicular (太空船外的) 【小题7】 (activity). They also performed a number of 【小题8】 (science) experiments and technological tests, and made video calls with President Xi Jinping and hundreds of researchers, teachers and students in Hong Kong.

On Thursday morning, they completed their final tasks and then left the station and returned to the Shenzhou XII spacecraft, 【小题9】 departed the station later. Upon its completion, Tiangong will be manned 【小题10】 (regular) by groups of three astronauts in periods lasting several months.

Resources satellites mainly take on the jobs of observing the earth, including the land areas and the oceans, and【小题1】(call) “photographers in space”. With the multispectral (多光谱的) remote sensors loaded on the satellites, humans can not only survey resources but also forecast natural disasters. Resources satellites can even see through the earth, exploring mineral resources and historical【小题2】(site) that cannot be observed by our eyes.

China Center for Resources Satellite Data and Application【小题3】(be) the largest land observing satellite data center in China. Located in Haidian district in Beijing, it operates and manages 19 satellites, processing and distributing the satellite data.【小题4】monitoring natural resources and urban planning, its another task is to use satellite images【小题5】(support) disaster relief. When a disaster happens, the staff will immediately apply the satellites, obtaining clear images in【小题6】(respond) to the disaster. So far, the center has obtained images of disasters including the floods in India, the MH370 disappearance, 【小题7】 the forest fires in Australia. Such satellite images are offered to other countries free of charge, thus【小题8】(provide) timely support for disaster assessment and relief.

China’s space industry has always been committed to enhancing human understanding of the earth, 【小题9】can better promote human development. One day, when we look up at the sky, we may find that many satellites in 【小题10】 vast universe are looking back at us.

Ancient art doesn’t have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining the best of the old and the new.

Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people 【小题1】 (amaze) by the sight of a huge digital painting. It was a digitisation of the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival 【小题2】 Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan.

In the digital painting, a lot of these details are animated. Farmers work in their fields; sailors move around on their boats and people eat and conduct business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated. You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations 【小题3】 (perfect) combine modern technology and ancient art.

Another example is Dunhuang Cave Paintings. Dunhuang Caves, 【小题4】 are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi desert in a remote part of Northwest China, 【小题5】 (fill) with invaluable paintings and sculptures. The good news for art lovers who cannot travel, and for the caves themselves is that scientists have created 【小题6】 360-degree, 3D digital projection of the caves.

Digital technology allows today’s artists 【小题7】(express) their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Digitising ancient art【小题8】 (allow) us to explore the practices of long ago. It also makes the art 【小题9】 (access) to the world while 【小题10】 (protect) the original artworks for the future.
