Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions to solve our
environmental problems.His past projects include “Bioluminescent(生物发光)Trees” to light streets,a “Smog-
Free Tower” to clean Beijing’s polluted air and “Gates of Light”,which uses the headlamps of passing cars to
light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk,a major dam in the Netherlands.Now,he is hoping to use his skills
to solve a pressing global problem—space junk!
Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 bits of large rubbish.To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde
intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with
possible solutions.The plan,called the Space Waste Lab,started in October 2018 with a laser(激光)show in the
Netherlands.The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of
space junk floating at altitudes of 200 to 20,000 kilometers.The experience was designed to make the public
know more about how much space junk there are.
To find a solution,the designer has been thinking with experts.One of the projects being considered is
“Shooting Stars”,which attempts to reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a controlled way.Upon reentry
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star.Roosegaarde envisages that,if successful,burning
space trash could someday replace fireworks at large public events!
In September 2018,the Remove DEBRIS satellite successfully sent a net to catch a target while orbiting
at an altitude of about 300 kilometers(190 miles).Sometime this year,the capsule will set free a harpoon that
has been designed to remove space trash. At the end of its task, Remove DEBRIS will let go for a sail to
bring the satellite itself,and hopefully some trash,back into the atmosphere,where it will burn up.
1.What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde?
A.He is too aggressive to put forward good plans.
B.He is creative in solving environmental problems.

B.To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people.
C.To raise public awareness of the amount of space trash.
D.To inspire people to consider the solution to space trash.
3.What does the underlined word “envisage” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

4.What is the function of a sail?
