We often hear about chimpanzees and even the little dog from Russia， Laika， who became one of the first animals to go into the orbit（轨道）. But we seldom hear about the first cat in space. So what’s her story？ It’s actually kind of sad. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 Little Félicette was launched on October 18，1963. Rather than using dogs or chimpanzees， like Russia and the US， France decided to use cats to collect the necessary data for future manned missions. So， 14 cats were caught by French CERMA space scientists for their experiments. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 They were fitted with electrodes（电极） to record their brain activity throughout the flight， and the cats had to  　undergo　⁠ astronaut training. That included staying in small containers for a long time to test their reactions to space flight. After her launch in a rocket， which happened at just 8：09 am local time， the capsule（太空舱） was recovered（回收） 13 minutes later with Félicette luckily surviving the flight. It was said that most of the information collected from the short trip was usable and of good quality， making it a success. Sadly， however， the Parisian cat was euthanized（使安乐死） a few months later to examine her brain as well as the effects of spaceflight. No other cats were ever to become “catstronauts” again. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 While she was technically only “in space” for about five minutes， she was often missed by some scientists. A sweet statue for Félicette in bronze was unveiled（公布于众） by three European Space Agency astronauts in December 2019 at the International Space University Campus in Strasbourg， France. She sits upon the planet Earth while looking up at the heavens. If you’re ever in Strasbourg， go and visit her. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）1. What did France send into space in its early space exploration？ A. Chimpanzees. B. Dogs. C. Cats. D. Mice. （　A　）2. The meaning of the underlined word “undergo” is close to “ 　　　　⁠”. A. experience B. give C. borrow D. enjoy C A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　A　）3. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us？ A. The cat had a terrible experience. B. The Parisian kitty survived in the end. C. Cats are the best animals for space travel. D. No other cats were ever to become “catstronauts” again. A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　）4. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph？ A. Félicette will become more and more popular. B. Félicette was often thought of by some scientists. C. The statue for Félicette in bronze can be watched about five minutes. D. Félicette sits upon the Moon while looking down at the earth. B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）5. What’s the best title for the passage？ A. Say “no” to animal astronauts in space B. Félicette， the unluckiest “catstronaut” in space C. Félicette， the first and only “catstronaut” in space D. It’s safer to use animals instead of people as astronauts C 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 B Our nearest neighbour is the moon. In the sky， the moon and the sun seem to be of the same size because the moon is much nearer. The moon makes the tides—the changes in the level of the sea. The moon and the sun together pull the sea. In some parts of the world， the difference between high tide （when the sea is very near to the land） and low tide （when the sea is far away from the land） is very big. This is very important to ships. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 The moon is very different from the earth. Gravity（重力） on the earth is six times as strong as that on the moon. There isn’t any air. During the day， it is very hot but at night it is very cold. Nothing can live on the moon. If the moon goes between the earth and the sun， we have an eclipse of the sun（日食）. The moon stops the light from the sun and we have night in the day. If the earth goes between the moon and the sun， we have an eclipse of the moon（月食）. The moon goes into the shadow（影子） of the earth and it disappears for a few minutes. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　）6. When the sea is far away from the land， we call it  　　　　⁠. A. high tide B. low tide C. shadow D. gravity （　B　）7. Gravity on the earth is  　　　　⁠times as strong as that on the moon. A. five B. six C. seven D. eight B B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　B　）8. When the moon goes between the earth and the sun， we have night in the day， and we call it the eclipse of  　　　　⁠. A. the moon B. the sun C. the stars D. the earth B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　A　）9. Which of the following happens when we have an eclipse of the moon？ A. The earth goes between the moon and the sun. B. The moon goes into the shadow of the sun. C. The moon goes into the shadow of its own. D. The sun disappears for a few minutes. A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　D　）10. Which of the following statements are TRUE？ a. The moon and the sun are of the same size. b. Gravity on the earth is stronger than that on the moon. c.The changes in the level of the sea are called tides. d. The moon itself pulls the sea and makes the tides. e. When the sea is near to the land， a high tide may happen. f. It’s much hotter in the day but much colder at night on the moon. A. abcf B. bcde C. adef D. bcef D 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 四、 补全对话（每小题2分，共10分） 根据对话内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余。 A. Let’s ask our teacher for help. B. I am reading a science report. C. Me too. D.

B A： Look！ 2.  　G　⁠ B： Oh， yes. They look so beautiful！ A： Do you think there is life on other planets？ B： Maybe. 3.  　E　⁠ A： I have been interested in that for many years.

Venus（金星） is very bright and hot. E. Saturn（土星） has more than 80 satellites. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 There are billions of stars and planets in space. What’s the difference between the stars and the planets？  　1　⁠ The sun is one of the stars. Some planets are balls of rocks and some are balls of gas. We live on a planet—the earth.  　2　⁠ It also goes around the sun once every year to give us different seasons. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八  　3　⁠ We call the family of the sun and its planets the solar system. Mercury（水星） is the nearest to the sun， so it is very hot. It is the smallest planet in the solar system.  　4　⁠ It is the nearest to the earth. Mars is covered with red-orange dust and rocks， so it looks like a red star in the sky. It has seasons like the earth. Jupiter（木星） has 79 known natural satellites and it is the biggest and heaviest planet in the solar system.  　5　⁠ The other planets such as Uranus（天王星） and Neptune（海王星） are all very far from the sun and very cold.
