空中“货拉拉”来了！“天马-1000”成功首飞。
The Tianma-1000 is a new unmanned(无人的) plane in China. It made its first flight in Shaanxi province on the morning of January 11th, 2026.

The plane is very capable. It can fly in difficult places like plateaus(高原). It can fly up to 8 kilometres high and travel as far as 1,800 kilometres. It can take off and land in less than 200 metres. It can carry 1 ton of goods. This helps a lot in rescue work. For example, it can drop supplies to people in need.
The Tianma-1000 is also very smart. It can land safely in bad weather like rain, snow and fog. It can plan its own flight path and keep obstacles(障碍物) away. It can even load and unload(装卸) things very quickly.
In the future, this great unmanned plane will help people in many ways.

1. C 【细节理解】由短文中的“The Tianma-1000...It made its first flight in Shaanxi province on the morning of January 11th, 2026.”可知，“天马-1000”的首飞时间是2026年1月，即它在冬季首飞。
2. A 【词义猜测】由画线词后的“For example, it can drop supplies to people in need.”可推知，此处“rescue work”指的是向有需要的人们投放物资的工作，即“rescue”意为“救援”。
3. A 【推理判断】由短文中的“It can...travel as far as 1,800 kilometres.”可知，“天马-1000”的最远航程为1 800千米，而北京到上海的距离约为1 100千米，因此它可以中途不停歇地完成飞行。
4. B 【细节理解】由短文中的“It can plan its own flight path and keep obstacles away.”可知，“天马-1000”可以规划自己的飞行路线。
5. B 【推理判断】通读全文，短文介绍了中国新型无人驾驶飞机“天马-1000”的性能和应用，属于科技类内容，因此它有可能出现在科学报纸上。
