Saturn (土星) is famous for the beautiful rings around it. Now, it's getting attention for being even more amazing. Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet's total to 274. A moon is any naturally formed object that moves around a planet. Moons come in different shapes and sizes.

Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope (望远镜), which is used to study stars and planets in great detail. Scientists took many photos of areas in space and piled them on top of each other to make the moons appear bright enough to discover.

Most of Saturn's new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide—quite different to Earth's Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rocks are in unusual orbits (轨道) too. They go around Saturn in the opposite direction to its own movement. At between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn's biggest moon, Titan.

Why does Saturn have so many moons while Earth only has one? According to scientists, several billion years ago, the giant planet's gravity attracted some rocks and ice. Over time, some of them crashed against each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons.

The new moons were first discovered in 2023 by a team of scientists led by Edward Ashton, and were recently confirmed by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Saturn now is the planet with the most moons—Jupiter is not far behind with 95. However, Dr Ashton believes this might be the limit for moon discovery. "I don't think Jupiter will ever catch up," he said. "With present technology, I don't think we can do better than what has already been done," he added.

D. He is satisfied with their moon discovery.

解析:

P1:Saturn (土星) is famous for the beautiful rings around it. 

土星因漂亮的环有名

P2:Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope (望远镜)which is used to study stars and planets in great detail.

发现moons

这里不要把moons翻译成月亮就行,月亮the moon / the Moon是专有名词 ,这里是复数moons,不知道意思就把moons翻译成某物

P3:Most of Saturn's new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide — quite different to Earth's Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball

大部分moons都很小

P4:Why does Saturn have so many moons while Earth only has one?

为什么土星有如此多的moons而地球只有一个?

P5:The new moons were first discovered in 2023 by a team of scientists led by Edward Ashton, and were recently confirmed by the International Astronomical Union (IAU)

新的moons首次发现是在2023年

以上是本篇文章的每一段的首句,我们是否能从这句话中知道文章在谈论什么?显然是可以的,因为每句都提到moons这个东西,并且在说的土星的moons

37题:细节题, 问对新发现的了解,我们去哪找new discovery,根据下一个问题出处P3,很明显知道要在前两段去找

A. moons看起来一样,原文Moons come in different shapes and sizes. 排除

B. 科学家偶然发现moons,原文Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope. 只提到用望远镜发现的,不知是否偶然

C. 土星的环吸引了很多科学家,原文Saturn (土星) is famous for the beautiful rings around it. 因为选项的表述是正确的,可能会造成部分人选择C作为正确答案,但是请思考一个问题,题目问的是什么?问的是new discovery,科学家被吸引不是新发现,所以这是一个看起来正确的错误选项

D. 土星周围发现128个moons,原文Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet's total to 274. 合理

38题:细节题,问the ringed planet 指什么,根据所在句子At between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn's biggest moon, Titan.

简单翻译一下句子,在距离 the ringed planted 650万至1800万英里,moons比土星最大的moon还要远,这个moon叫Titan。我不知道你是否你能从中得出答案,如果你觉得不行我们可以换个思路,回到开头,文章在说什么?土星的moons,结合选项我们也应该可以知道the ringed planted指的是Saturn,因为这是文章主题关系最密切的选项

39题:细节题,问什么导致了土星有大量卫星,去P4找,根据According to scientists, several billion years ago, the giant planet's gravity attracted some rocks and ice.  gravity 吸引了一些岩石和冰,选项中没有提到这些内容

那就继续往下看一句Over time, some of them crashed against each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons. 他们相互碰撞,与D相符

40题:细节题,问在最后一段,从Dr Ashton的话中我们能了解到什么,说的不重要,重要的是说这些话想证明什么,也就是引号前的这句话

However, Dr Ashton believes this might be the limit for moon discovery.Dr Ashton认为这是moon发现的极限

只有D提到moon discovery

思考:能确保自己翻译正确?翻译文章是否能做对题?

全文翻译

土星因其周围美丽的光环而闻名。如今,它因为更令人惊叹的发现而再次受到关注。科学家们在土星周围发现了128颗新卫星,使该行星的卫星总数达到274颗。卫星是指任何围绕行星运行的天然天体,它们形状大小各异。

科学家们利用一台强大的望远镜发现了这些卫星,该望远镜用于精细研究恒星和行星。他们拍摄了太空中多个区域的大量照片,并将这些照片叠加在一起,使这些卫星变得足够明亮,从而被发现。

土星的大部分新卫星都是小天体,直径仅一两英里——这与直径达2159英里的地球月球截然不同。这些太空岩石的轨道也很不寻常——它们绕土星运行的方向与土星自转方向相反。这些新发现的卫星距离这颗带环行星约650万至1800万英里,比土星最大的卫星泰坦还要远。

为什么土星拥有这么多卫星,而地球只有一个?据科学家称,几十亿年前,这颗巨大行星的引力吸引了一些岩石和冰块。随着时间的推移,其中一些天体相互碰撞,碎裂成更小的碎片,或者聚在一起形成了许多小卫星。

这些新卫星最早由爱德华·阿什顿(Edward Ashton)领导的科学家团队于2023年发现,并于近期得到了国际天文学联合会(IAU)的确认。土星因此成为拥有卫星最多的行星——木星以95颗紧随其后。然而,阿什顿博士认为这可能是卫星发现的极限。“我认为木星永远不会赶上,”他说,“以目前的技术,我认为我们已经无法发现更多了。”他补充道。
