ARTICLE
Still Talking After Fifty Years

In 1977 two small spacecraft left Earth to study the outer planets. Nobody expected them to work for more than five years.

Almost fifty years later, both are still sending signals from beyond our solar system, though each message now takes more than twenty hours to arrive. Their power comes from heat rather than sunlight, and it grows weaker every year.

Engineers therefore switch off one instrument at a time. They believe the last instrument will fall silent around 2030. Even then the two craft will travel on, each carrying a gold record of human music and greetings.

全文中譯

一九七七年，兩艘小型太空船離開地球，前往研究外太陽系的行星。當時沒有人預期它們能運作超過五年。

將近五十年後，兩者仍從太陽系之外傳回訊號，只是每則訊息如今要花二十多個小時才會抵達。它們的電力來自熱能而非陽光，而且逐年減弱。

因此工程師一次關閉一項儀器。他們相信最後一項儀器會在二○三○年前後停止運作。即使到了那時，這兩艘飛行器仍會繼續航行，各自帶著一張錄有人類音樂與問候語的金唱片。

DSunlight no longer reaches Earth
✔ 正確答案：(C)　The spacecraft are far beyond the solar system
中譯為何每則訊息要花超過二十小時？
解析both are still sending signals from beyond our solar system，距離極遠，訊號傳送耗時。
31How do engineers save power?
ABy turning off one instrument at a time
BBy using sunlight
CBy flying the craft closer to the sun
DBy sending fewer greetings
✔ 正確答案：(A)　By turning off one instrument at a time
中譯工程師如何節省電力？
解析Engineers therefore switch off one instrument at a time。
32What will happen after the spacecraft stop sending signals?
AThey will return to Earth
BThey will be repaired in space
CThey will break into pieces
DThey will keep travelling with a gold record
✔ 正確答案：(D)　They will keep travelling with a gold record

解析Even then the two craft will travel on, each carrying a gold record。
