三、阅读理解。
China has named the nation's first Mars rover(火星车) Zhurong. For all of us, Zhurong is a well-suited name.
In an ancient Chinese story, Zhu Rong had the face of a man and the body of an animal. He rode on two dragons. When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the god of water, Zhu Rong won. But after the fight, the human world came into complete darkness. Then he brought fire from heaven(天国) to the world.
“Zhu Rong is regarded as the earliest god of fire in traditional Chinese
culture,” a space official said. “The first Mars rover was named Zhurong. The name symbolises(象征) light and hope for space exploration(探索) in our country, and means to guide humans to continue exploration.”
After leaving the earth, Zhurong circled Mars for several months and landed on it in May. In recent years, our country has sent up the world's first quantum satellite(量子卫星), and Chang'e-4 has made a soft landing on the moon. We have made great progress in space technology.
( )1.What Zhu Rong brought from heaven to the world was ________.
A.fire B.wars
C.water D.animals
( )2.For China's space exploration, the name Zhurong symbolises ________.
A.a big fight B.complete darkness
C.light and hope D.Chinese culture
A
C
( )3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.
A.the earth B.Mars
C.the moon D.the sun
B
( )4.According to the passage, we can infer that ________.
A.Zhu Rong is a bad person in an ancient Chinese story
B.Gong Gong is the god of fire
C.the writer is proud of China's space technology
D.the official doesn't like the name Zhurong
