For centuries humans have wondered, although the ways in which we have gone about this have varied. As we have gained a greater understanding of the universe, our searches have taken on more concrete forms. Questions about aliens(外星人) have become a subject for science rather than science fiction. Now new cooperation between the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico and the SETI Institute in California means that our curiosity about aliens can be closer than ever before to being satisfied. Data from the VLA's 28 radio telescopes, used to scan a vast area of sky, will be fed through a special supercomputer that will search for distant signals. How likely it is that a signal will be found, and what this might mean, are hard questions to answer. SETI's existing projects have not detected any signals from other planets so far. But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement for those who are enthusiastic about the possibility, however remote, of detecting other civilisations. Once it was thought that our solar system could be unique. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet(a planet beyond the solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been located. Around one in five stars is now thought to have a planet in their orbit in a so­called “habitable(适合居住的) zone”— that is, at a distance from the star where the temperature means that life is theoretically possible. Are Earth's 7.5 billion humans, along with billions of other animals and plants they share their home with, on their own in the universe? If there is another life form somewhere, could it be as intelligent as humans? Or could it threaten them? I think all of these need further exploration. As explorations of Mars continue, and a new set of observations from the James Webb Space Telescope are set to begin, our interest in the possibility of alien life appears as much as before. (　D　)1．Why does the VLA work with SETI? A．To develop new radio telescopes. B．To satisfy some people's curiosity. C．To build a special supercomputer. D．To find evidence of aliens' existence. (　A　)2．What is the encouraging news for scientists exploring distant civilisations? A．Some exoplanets may have habitable zones. B．New technologies are adopted to find aliens. C．Signals have been detected from other planets. D．Life does indeed exist on exoplanets. (　B　)3．What is the author's attitude to the existence of aliens? A．Positive.　　　　B．Uncertain. C．Worried. D．Unacceptable. (　C　)4．What might be the best title for the text? A．Exoplanets：Home of Aliens B．Receiving Signals：Aliens Appear Again? C．Finding Aliens：Possible or Not? D．Space：The Unknown Place 【文本大意】随着我们对宇宙有了更深入的了解，我们的探索也呈现出更具体的形式。关于外星人的问题已经成为科学而不是科幻小说的主题。 1．D　细节理解题。根据第二段“现在，位于新墨西哥州的VLA和加州的SETI研究所之间的新合作意味着我们对外星人的好奇心将比以往任何时候都更接近于得到满足。VLA的28个射电望远镜用于扫描广阔的天空区域，其数据将通过一个特殊的超级计算机提供，该计算机将搜索遥远的信号。”可知，VLA和SETI的合作是为了寻找外星人存在的证据。故选D。 2．A　细节理解题。根据第四段“曾经有人认为我们的太阳系是独一无二的。自20世纪90年代发现第一颗系外行星(太阳系以外的行星)以来，又发现了数千颗系外行星。目前认为，每5颗恒星中就有1颗恒星在它们所谓的‘宜居带’的轨道上有一颗行星。‘宜居带’指的是离恒星较远的地方，那里的温度意味着理论上可能存在生命。”可知，对于探索遥远文明的科学家来说，一些系外行星可能有“宜居带”是令人鼓舞的消息。故选A。 3．B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“地球上的75亿人类，以及数十亿与他们共享家园的其他动物和植物，是他们自己在宇宙中吗？如果在某个地方有另一种生命形式，它会像人类一样聪明吗？还是会威胁到他们？我认为所有这些都需要进一步的探索。”可推知，作者对外星人是否存在持不确定的态度。故选B。 4．C　主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及人类探索外星人所付出的努力展开可知，文章最好的标题为“找到外星人：可能还是不可能？”。故选C。 Ⅵ.七选五 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth. 1．__G__ It is about half as big as Earth and is often referred to as the Red Planet because of its red surface. The Red Planet has the largest volcano in the solar system—Olympus Mons. 2．__A__ That's about three times the height of Mount Qomolangma. Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun, Mars is much colder than Earth. 3．__E__ The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars's ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water. Scientists believe that studying Mars can help answer some of the key questions about our planet Earth, or even the universe. 4．__B__ Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed. The USA, Russia, the European Space Agency, and several other countries have lost many spacecraft in their quest to explore the Red Planet. Nevertheless, they will still continue their explorations. Chinese experts are confident about their plans to explore Mars, in spite of the many challenges. The first Mars unmanned spacecraft was launched from Wenchang around 2020. But it is only the beginning of deep voyages into outer space. 5．__F__ A．It is over 25 kilometres high. B．Missions to Mars have never been easy. C．Mars, however, today has no active volcanoes. D．The temperature at the planet's surface varies widely. E．However, Mars does have weather, with clouds and winds. F．China will continue to explore the mysteries of the universe. G．It is one of the few planets that we can see with our own eyes. 【文本大意】文章主要介绍了火星的自然环境以及火星任务的实施难度。 1．G　根据上文“Mars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth.(对于我们地球上的人来说，火星确实是一个迷人的星球。)”以及下文“It is about half as big as Earth and is often referred to as the Red Planet because of its red surface.(它大约有地球的一半大，经常被称为红色星球，因为它的表面是红色的。)”可知，空处与上下文并列，都是在介绍火星，因此G项“It is one of the few planets that we can see with our own eyes.(它是少数几个我们能用肉眼看到的行星之一。)”符合语境，其中it指代Mars。故选G。 2．A　根据上文“The Red Planet has the largest volcano in the solar system—Olympus Mons.(这颗红色星球上有太阳系中最大的火山——奥林匹斯山。)”以及下文“That's about three times the height of Mount Qomolangma.(这大约是珠穆朗玛峰高度的三倍。)”可知，本句是在说明奥林匹斯山的高度。因此A项“It is over 25 kilometres high.(它的高度超过25千米。)”符合语境。故选A。 3．E　根据上文“Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun, Mars is much colder than Earth.(火星也有大气层，但大气层很薄，主要由二氧化碳组成。由于火星大气层稀薄，距离太阳更远，所以它比地球冷得多。)”以及下文“The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars's ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water.(火星上的沙尘暴会变得非常大，有时会覆盖整个星球，持续数月之久。火星的两极很像南极洲，被冰覆盖，但火星的大部分冰是由二氧化碳而不是水构成的。)”可知，空处应该说明火星上的气候，下文提到了沙尘暴，由此可见火星上有风，因此E项“However, Mars does have weather, with clouds and winds.(然而，火星确实有天气，有云和风。)”符合语境。故选E。 4．B　根据下文“Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed.(自1960年以来，超过一半的火星任务都失败了。)”可知，实施火星任务并不容易。因此B项“Missions to Mars have never been easy.(火星任务从来都不容易。)”符合语境。故选B。 5．F　空前三句介绍了中国对火星的探索，因此空处应与中国探索太空有关，综合所给选项可知，F项“China will continue to explore the mysteries of the universe.(中国将继续探索宇宙的奥秘。)”符合语境。故选F。 Ⅶ.语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 China has been pushing space exploration boundaries on its own over the past three decades. It embarked on(开始)a “three­step” strategy 1．__to__boost__(boost) its human space programme in 1992 when 2．__constructing__(construct) a manned orbiting laboratory was still a flight of fancy for the Chinese people. The first step was to send astronauts into space 3．__and__ ensure their safe return. The second step was to develop advanced space flight techniques and technologies, 4．__which__ included extravehicular(舱外的)activity and orbital docking(轨道对接).The 5．__third__ (three) step was to assemble and operate a permanent manned space station. In April 2021, the country 6．__officially__ (official) kicked off(开始) the in­orbit construction of its space station by launching the core module Tianhe. “In the past 30 years, many technical difficulties 7．__have__been__overcome__(overcome), such as the technologies of shuttling 8．__between__ space and Earth, extravehicular activity, rendezvous, and docking，” said Yang Liwei, the country's first taikonaut in orbit since he 9．__entered__(enter) space with Shenzhou­5 in October 2003. So far, over 15 10．__astronauts__(astronaut) have participated in the in­orbit construction of the space station. 【文本大意】文章介绍了中国的载人航天计划“三步走”战略。 1．to boost　考查非谓语动词。中国开启“三步走”战略的目的是推进载人航天计划，因此此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to boost。 2．constructing　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，所填词与空后的a manned orbiting laboratory一起作when引导的时间状语从句的主语，且表示抽象动作、一般行为，故用动名词作主语。故填constructing。 3．and　考查连词。设空处前面的send astronauts into space和空后的ensure their safe return为并列结构。故填and。 4．which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰指物的先行词advanced space flight techniques and technologies，且在从句中作主语。故填which。 5．third　考查数词。根据上文中的The first和The second可知，此处表示“第三”，应用序数词。故填third。 6．officially　考查副词。空处在句中修饰动词短语kicked off，作状语，应用副词形式。故填officially。 7．have been overcome　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语In the past 30 years可知，时态用现在完成时；技术难题是被克服，因此用被动语态；主语为复数可数名词technical difficulties，因此谓语动词用复数形式。故填have been overcome。 8．between　考查介词。between A and B为固定搭配，表示“在……和……之间”。故填between。 9．entered　考查时态。根据时间状语in October 2003可知，此处表示过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。故填entered。 10．astronauts　考查名词的数。astronaut为可数名词，根据其前的修饰语over 15 可知，此处用其复数形式。故填astronauts。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
