UNIT 4 SPACE EXPLORATION
(主题语境:人与社会——地球与宇宙奥秘探索)
!"#$%&'()
Mankind has managed to create facilities and vehicles to carry astronauts into the universe. They launch
rockets carrying satellites. Many intelligent people around the globe are determined to devote themselves to
space exploration,even though fatal space disasters which killed astronauts on board make them disappointed.
Besides,when living in space,the astronauts have to recycle dirty water so as to use it later. For lack of gravity,
their muscles become weak. They have to tape everything up,otherwise they would float around. They also need
to figure out a way to store sufficient food and oxygen. However,peoples desire to explore space never dies.
China is the third country to send humans into space independently. This signals a giant leap forward for China.
Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money on space exploration,which is a shallow view.
Our planets resources are limited,and as a result,we should find a new home to provide for the ever increasing
population. In closing,we attach great importance to solving the mystery about space and will carry on with
space exploration regularly.

NOP<%QRST
真题感悟
(2022·全国乙卷)
Can a small group of drones (无人机)guarantee
the safety and reliability of railways and,at the same
time,help railway operators save billions of euros each
year?That is the very likely future of applying todays
“eyes in the sky”technology to making sure that the
millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure
(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a 24 / 7
basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high
tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the
same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital
aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position
of railway tracks and switching points. The more
regularly they can be inspected, the more railway
safety, reliability and ontime performance will be
improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be
more efficient (高效)across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs
and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is
calculated that European railways alone spend
approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance,
including sending maintenance staff,often at night,to
inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be
dangerous work that could be avoided with drones
assisting the crews efforts.
By using the latest technologies,drones could also
start providing highervalue services for railways,
detecting faults in the rail or switches,before they can
cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks,
drones for rail dont need to be flying overhea

Engineers are now working on a new concept:the rail
drones of the future. They will be moving on the track
ahead of the train, and programmed to run
autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors
and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it
like a copilot. With their ability to see ahead,they
could signal any problem,so that fastmoving trains
would be able to react in time.
1. What makes the application of drones to rail lines
possible? A
A. The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B. Drones ability to work at high altitudes.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D. Drones reliable performance in remote areas.
2. What does “maintenance”underlined in Paragraph 3
refer to? C
A. Personnel safety.
B. Assistance from drones.
C. Inspection and repair.
D. Construction of infrastructure.
3. What function is expected of the rail drones? A
A. To provide early warning.
B. To make trains run automatically.
C. To earn profits for the crews.
D. To accelerate transportation.
4. Which is the most suitable title for the text? D
A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways

国前总统里根于1984年7月9日设立的。)符合语境,选项中的
The“cool”holiday was made与The order相呼应。故选G。
2. B 考查语境推断。结合本段内容可知,本段是在讲述冰淇淋的
发展历史。设空处上句提到,欧洲人于16世纪发现了这种冰爽
的美食;设空处下句提到,这种甜点首次出现于1744年,马里兰
州州长用草莓冰淇淋招待客人。由此可知,设空处应是提到冰
淇淋在美国的历史。B项(但它直到18世纪才进入美国。)符合
语境。故选B。
3. E 考查语境推断。设空处位于本段段首,应是段落的主题句。
根据本段内容特别是“An estimated
!

口味偏好相关,而空后内容则列举了不同口味的冰淇淋代表何种性
格特征。由此可知,设空处应是起到转折的作用。F项(然而,艾伦
·赫希博士认为,它反映了个人的性格。)符合语境,且后文内容对

直击高考·精准落实
真题感悟
1. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Drones are already being used
to examine hightension electrical lines. They could do precisely the
same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail
infrastructure”可知,无人机现在已经用来检测高压电力线路,它
们可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路以及铁路基础设施的其他
重要方面。故选A。
2. C 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句可知,据计算,单是欧洲铁
路一年就要在维护上面花费约200亿欧元,其中包括常常在夜
里派遣维护员工去检查和修复铁路基础设施。由此可知,铁路
“maintenance”包括检查和修复铁路基础设施。故选C。
3. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,因为能提前看
到,无人机可以感知到任何问题,这样快速前进的列车就可以及
时作出反应。由此可推知,期待铁路无人机具有的功能是提前
发现问题,并给列车发出警告。故选A。
4. D 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,
本篇文章主要讲的是无人机将

3. D 细节理解题。根据题干中的mooncake 定位到A Big
Mooncake for Little Star by Grace Lin部分,由其中的第三句
“However,baking the mooncake is not easy for the baby star as the
moon keeps changing its shape.”可知,月亮的形状不断变化导致
小星星做月饼很难。故选D。

防御测试:如果发现了危险的太空岩石,最安全的解决措施就是利
用小型航天器与其撞击,使其偏离轨道。

craft hit right on target”可知,飞行器成功击中目标后,飞行器的
信号消失。故选A。
5. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知,这次撞击是美国
国家航空航天局双小行星重定向测试的最关键测试。这个于

6. C 推理判断题。根据第三段至第五段可知,美国国家航空航天
局用一艘航天器撞向一颗名为Dimorphous的小行星,这颗小行
星围绕另一颗较大的小行星运行,这次撞击是为了推动它偏离
轨道,撞击是成功的,因此推断撞击后,它很可能缩短自己的轨
道,绕着同一颗小行星运行。故选C。
7. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,美国国家航空航天
局计划在2026年发射一架名为“NEO测量者”的小行星搜寻太
空望远镜。结合especially the larger ones可知,研究人员之前主
要研究大行星,但其实未被发现的小行星才是对地球有威胁的。
由此推断,“NEO测量者”的目标应该是发现相对比较小的小行
