课时作业(二十二)　选择性必修第三册　Unit 2　Out of this world 一、阅读理解 (2024·广东部分学校高三联考)“Fifty years ago，astronauts travelled to space in government­funded rockets designed，built and maintained by NASA.But today，the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves.This change feels like a giant leap，but it makes sense，” says Laura Seward Forczyk，founder of Astralytical，a space consulting company.She believes more and more of modern civilization relies on space. Huge numbers of satellites orbit the planet，connecting us to everything from mobile phones to GPS，and there is a large sum of money in maintaining those systems.Forczyk thinks this doesn't get a lot of headlines typically，but there are profitable reasons why private companies want to go into space. The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them.That's important because NASA itself has become financially limited.From its 1966 peak，when spending on the space race took up more than four percent of the US government's budget，that spending is now less than half percent of the country's total budget. “NASA is using commercial companies to build a lot of hardware to perform those services of taking scientific payloads(载量) to the surface of the moon，” says Forczyk.“The hope is that people will follow—possibly by 2025，but more realistically by 2030.If you're wondering why we're going back to the moon—after all，mankind has already walked on its surface—the answer is that we explored only part of it.” “We know a lot more，but we also know so very little，” adds Forczyk.She wants to go back with people to learn more.But more importantly，she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day. The universe is so big that we can't stop exploring it.Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space.Mars is regarded as the next stepping­off point towards the final frontier，though whether we'll get there in our lifetime is another question. 1．What is the change of the American space travel today? A．It needs billions of government funds. B．All astronauts should pay for it themselves. C.It requires astronauts to carry mobile phones. D.The rich can experience it at their own expense. 2．What is the relationship between NASA and the private commercial companies? A．Competitive. B．Interdependent. C．Unrelated. D．Mistrustful. 3．What is Forczyk's attitude to the moon exploration? A．Confident. B．Curious. C．Negative. D．Worried. 4．What does the last paragraph want to convey? A．There is no limit to space exploration. B．The moon is the final exploration area. C．Humans will cease exploring deep space. D．It is absolutely impossible to get to Mars.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了8岁的女孩Hilde在创办自己的报纸时遭遇的种种非议，赞扬了Hilde不怕挑战，迎难而上的品质。 1．D　[解析]上文“He often took her to work with him，and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting.”说明了Hilde开始对报纸行业产生兴趣，结合下文“She did the writing，her sister Izzy took pictures，and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper.”可知，Hilde开始自己制作报纸，D项“When she was 8，Hilde started her own newspaper.”衔接上下文恰当。故选D。 2．F　[解析]由上文“Soon，news organizations around the country were doing stories on Hilde.”可知，Hilde有了名声，结合下文“Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.”可知，并不是所有人都欣赏Hilde的报道行为，F项“Not everyone was happy about Hilde's efforts，though.”衔接上下文恰当。故选F。 3．B　[解析]上文“Others criticized Hilde for ‘pretending to be a reporter’．Some people even suggested she should be playing with dolls.”描述了人们对Hilde各种各样的批评，空处应该承接上文，指出Hilde对此做出的反应，B项“Hilde was upset by the complaints.”中的complaints照应上文提到的各种批评，衔接恰当。故选B。 4．A　[解析]上文“Sometimes，it was because of her age.Other times，it was because she was a girl.”说明了人们批评Hilde的其他原因，结合下文“Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a reporter have made her famous.”可知，Hilde并没有因为批评而停止报道。A项“But she never let that stop her.”衔接恰当。故选A。 5．C　[解析]由下文“But she is still just 15，and has plenty of time to decide what she wants to do with her life.”可知，前句与其构成转折，C项“For now，Hilde says she has given up reporting.”说明她现在不再报道新闻了，衔接后文“虽然如此，但她年龄还小，有大量的时间去决定日后从事的工作”符合句意。故选C。 三、读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Lost But Not Forgotten Dad said this could happen.I never believed him.But he was right.So here I am，right in the middle of it.All alone.No one to help me but myself.Two questions come to mind as I sit under this tree，freezing in the snow.How did I get here，and why me? The first answer is pretty simple.I got lost.Actually it's more complicated than that.I didn't pay attention to the boundary signs.I thought the snow looked pretty good.So I told my friend Benito that I'd meet him at the bottom of the hill in twenty minutes.How was I to know a blizzard(暴风雪) was coming？How was I to know that my tracks would disappear? As for the second question，the answer is obvious.Why me？Because I'm always doing stupid things.Opening my mouth when I should keep it shut.Breaking things I shouldn't be touching.And in this case，wandering off where I had no business going. If Dad were here，I know exactly what he'd be saying.I told you this would happen，Deke.Now what are you going to do about it? The snow just won't stop falling.It's getting harder to see，and I'm tired of walking.I'm tired of yelling.No one will hear me.So now I'm sitting under a tree，watching the snow pile up on my clothes.I can barely see my snowboard.It's a gray shadow in a curtain of white. What would it be like，I wonder，freezing to death？Don't just sit there.Build a cave.That's what Dad would say.But he died in a hospital bed，so he can't say anything to me anymore.Build a cave.“With what？” I say.I don't have a tool.My hands are freezing.There must be something you can use.I look around.All I see are snow­covered trees.Come on，Deke.Use your head.“Like I'm going to dig a cave with my head？I don't think so.” Then it hits me.The snowboards.I get up.Look for the side of a hill.“I know.I know.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： I start to dig.___________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Now it's too dark to see，but I think the cave is finished.________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Paragraph 1： I start to dig.The snowboard works OK.My gloves are wet.After a while my hands feel like wooden blocks.It's time to take a rest.I'm kind of sleepy.Don't stop.Keep digging the cave.You need shelter from the wind.My eyes open.There's hardly any light.A wind has come up.It's rolling up snow in my face.“OK，I'll keep digging.But only for a while.”Keep digging until you're done.That's what Dad would have said.Clean your room.Finish your math.Don't stop until you're done. Paragraph 2： Now it's too dark to see，but I think the cave is finished.With wind blowing outside，I curl up into a ball and gradually close my eyes.Wake up.You forgot to make a hole for air.My eyes open.I stretch out，my boots punching through snow.A cold burst of air rushes in.I breathe deeply，then sleep again.Deke.Get up.You'll miss the bus.I hear the bus.It's coming.There is a familiar sound of snowmobiles.My eyes open and I explode out of the cave.The sun is shining.I see some persons wearing orange jackets.I'm saved.Thank you Dad！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
