n 24 April, the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 35th birthday. It was sent into space in 1990 and since then it has made 1.6 million observations(观测).
Hubble orbits (沿轨道运行) Earth 320 miles above the surface. *Observations made by telescopes on Earth aren't always very clear because the atmosphere (大气) gets in the way, affecting the light from far-off objects. Hubble is above the atmosphere, so it can get clearer photos.
Over the last 35 years, the telescope has helped space scientists learn more about the universe (宇宙). It's named after Edwin Hubble, an astronomer who discovered that the universe is always getting bigger. Scientists used the telescope to look at how fast this is happening. They also found out that the universe is 13.8 billion years old.
Hubble also helped prove that there are very big black holes in the center of galaxies (银河系). It took a photo of the Eagle Nebula, a place where new stars are born. The photo, called Pillars of Creation showed how stars form in great detail. Another famous photo is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. It shows around 10,000 galaxies. To take it, Hubble watched the same area of sky for one million seconds.
Hubble is still working well. NASA says it expects the telescope to stay in space for the rest of the 2020s and into the 2030s。

答案
Wednesday
本文介绍了哈勃太空望远镜迎来了它35岁的生日。它自1990年被送入太空以来，已进行了160万次的观测。目前，哈勃仍在正常工作，预计将继续为科学研究提供数据。
1. D 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知，哈勃位于大气层之外，因此能够获得更清晰的照片。
2. D 细节理解题。由第三段第二句可知，Edwin发现了宇宙在不断增大。
3. C 细节理解题。由第四段第四、五句可知，著名的照片《哈勃超深空场》呈现了约1万个星系的壮丽景象。
4. C 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，哈勃现在依然运行良好，预计将在2020年代剩余时间乃至2030年代继续留在太空中工作。由此可推知，哈勃望远镜将会继续工作很多年。
5. A 文章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总起，引入主题，说明哈勃的历史和成就；第二至四段围绕哈勃的贡献展开，说明哈勃的优势、列举科学贡献、用具体照片说明其观测能力；第五段结尾，展望未来，说明它的现状和前景。
