1、 阅读理解
1. 答案:A
解析:选项B不对,它不是关于某一位宇航员真实太空之旅的记录,而是基于美国载人太空旅行历史以富有想象力的方式编写的。文章中提到《太空门票》能让太空旅行的概念变得具体、贴近孩子,这意味着它能帮助孩子生动地理解太空旅行。选项C错误,因为文中明确表示它是为3 - 8岁的孩子设计的,不是3岁以下。选项D错误,文中未提及是太空宇航员创作的。
2. 答案:C
解析:文中描述了尤娜对太空生活的梦想以及像是否喂金鱼等日常问题和她的太空探索使命等内容,这是这本书的独特之处。选项A错误,这本书在澳大利亚和新西兰同时朗读。选项B错误,宇航员是在国际空间站朗读的。选项D错误,全国同步故事时间是每年举办一次,不是每月。
3. 答案:D
解析:文中清楚地表明《好奇号:火星探测器的故事》重点是好奇号探测器的旅程和使命。选项A只提到了建造火星探测器过程这一部分内容。选项B只是书中插画涉及的一个方面。选项C错误,是探测器对火星的探索,不是人类对火星的访问。
4. 答案:C
解析:原文明确提到卫星iS - 33e的“total loss”影响了欧洲、非洲和亚太部分地区的客户,说明它对多个地区的用户产生了影响。A选项说只影响美国客户,与原文不符;B选项文中未提及卫星故障导致波音停止卫星生产;D选项说导致国际通信卫星组织(Intelsat)完全停止运营也未在原文体现,所以正确答案是C。
5. 答案:B
解析:文中提到国际通信卫星组织(Intelsat)表示正在与卫星制造商波音以及政府机构合作分析数据和观测情况,而波音未直接对该事件发表评论,只是让BBC新闻参考国际通信卫星组织的声明,这表明波音是在间接地与国际通信卫星组织及政府机构一同处理此事。A选项说波音在进行独立调查,不符合原文;C选项说波音完全忽视该事件不准确,它只是未直接回应;D选项说波音承担了全部责任,原文也未提及,所以答案是B。
6. 答案:A
解析:原文提到两名宇航员乘坐波音的星际客机太空舱于6月抵达国际空间站后,因该太空舱不适合返程而滞留,要等到明年乘坐SpaceX的航天器返回地球,这意味着由于波音星际客机的问题,他们得在国际空间站停留的时间比原计划长。B选项说他们明年乘坐波音航天器返回地球,与原文不符;C选项说他们无法与地球通信,原文未提及;D选项说他们有物资耗尽的危险,原文也没有相关表述,所以正确答案是A。
7. 答案:B
解析:原文明确指出上周波音宣布寻求高达350亿美元的新资金,并且从11月开始将裁员1.7万人,约占其员工总数的10%,这与B选项中寻找大量新资金并计划裁员的表述相符。A选项说决定给所有员工加薪50%,与原文提到的未来四年加薪35%不符;C选项说取消所有未来项目以省钱,原文未提及;D选项说将所有资金投入星际客机项目,也未在原文中有相关表述,所以答案是B。
8. 答案:B
解析:文章提到新的太空服是为2026年阿尔忒弥斯任务设计的,它融合了时尚元素(如颜色和装饰)和功能性(能承受月球极端温度等),是为了太空探索而兼具风格和功能的装备。A选项文中未提及对抗外星人攻击;C选项只强调外观不对,还考虑了太空旅行的需求;D选项说它是阿波罗17号任务太空服的复制品是错误的。
9. 答案:C

Explanation: In the operational context, the ability to quickly adjust to changing situations is relevant for performing tasks and optimizing procedures.(在操作方面,快速适应变化情况的能力与执行任务和优化程序相关。)
3、 完形填空
21. 答案:D(routine)
解析:“routine”有“常规的、例行的”之意,在这里形容阿波罗13号的登月任务原本是按计划常规开展的,虽然后续出了意外,但在出发时它是作为太空探索常规序列中的一部分任务,所以用“routine”更能体现这种常规性,相比之下,“ordinary”(普通的)、“common”(常见的)、“standard”(标准的)就没有那么准确地传达出这种作为既定流程一部分的感觉。
22. 答案:A(filled)
解析:“filled with”是常用搭配,表示“充满……”,这里说宇航员们充满了兴奋和期待之情,用“filled”来描述这种情感上的满溢状态是最自然常见的。“loaded”主要指负载重物;“stuffed”强调塞得满满的,常带有过度装填的感觉;“packed”侧重于紧密装填,它们都不太适合描述这种情感状态。
23. 答案:D(happened)
解析:“happened”就是单纯表示“发生”的意思,非常通用且直白地说明灾难发生了。“struck”和“hit”更侧重于突然且有力的撞击感,比如被某物撞击,不太符合描述这里灾难发生的语境;“occurred”也有“发生”之意,但“happened”更口语化、更常用,能简洁明了地表述事件的发生。
24. 答案:B(threatened)
解析:“threatened”有“威胁到、使……处于危险境地”的意思,氧气管爆炸使得整个任务面临可能无法成功完成的风险,处于受威胁的状态。“endangered”更强调使某物或某人立即陷入严重的危险、面临伤害或毁灭,在爆炸刚发生后的这个阶段用这个词有点过于严重了;“risked”通常用于某人故意去冒险的情况,这里不符合;“imperiled”是比较正式且不太常用的“endangered”的同义词,不如“threatened”在这个语境中贴切。
25. 答案:A(loss)
解析:“loss”准确表达了因爆炸导致像氧气和电力等关键资源的缺失、减少的情况,强调东西已经失去了,不再能满足需求的量。“decrease”(减少)和“reduction”(缩减)更多是指数量上的一般性降低,但没有“loss”那种东西丢失的强烈感觉;“decline”常用来描述随时间推移的下降趋势,而这里是因为爆炸突然导致资源耗尽,所以“loss”最合适。
26. 答案:C(refuge)
解析:“refuge”意为“避难所、庇护处”,宇航员们在爆炸后的危险情况下需要找到一个安全的地方躲避,月球舱就成了他们的避难所。“shelter”也有庇护之意,但更通用;“protection”侧重于保护的行为而非具体的地方;“cover”有遮盖、掩护的意思,但没有“refuge”那种作为安全港湾的明确含义,所以这里“refuge”最符合语境。
27. 答案:B(limited)
解析:“limited”表示“有限的、受限的”,月球舱原本是按有限的方式设计使用的,比如只能供两人短时间使用,这里指它在使用上有诸多限制。“restricted”更多指受到规则等方面的限制;“confined”强调被限制在狭小空间内;“bounded”通常指有边界限制,多从物理或地理层面,不如“limited”能准确描述月球舱使用上的限制情况。
28. 答案:D(accommodate)
解析:“accommodate”的意思是“容纳、提供住宿或空间等以满足需求”,这里说要让月球舱能满足三人而不是原本设计的两人长时间的需求,就是要让它能容纳下三人并提供相应支持。“house”更侧重于提供居住的地方,比较有居家的感觉;“contain”主要指把某物包含在某个容器或区域内,但没有体现出提供生活条件等满足需求的意思;“lodge”常指提供临时住宿,多在比较正式或商业的情境下,都不如“accommodate”能准确表达让月球舱满足宇航员需求的意思。
29. 答案:B(sprang)
解析:“sprang into action”是常用习语,表示“迅速行动起来”,形象地体现了地面控制团队在面对危机时迅速且充满活力地开始采取行动。“jumped”(跳)和“leaped”(跳跃)更多是指身体上的跳跃动作,没有这种迅速开展行动的习语含义;“dived”通常是指潜入水中等向下的快速动作,不符合这里描述地面团队开始工作的语境。
30. 答案:A(enormous)
解析:“enormous”意思是“巨大的、极大的”,强调在规模、数量或程度上非常大。制定新计划把宇航员安全带回地球这个任务极其困难且规模巨大,“enormous”能很好地突出这个任务挑战的艰巨程度。“huge”(巨大的)和“vast”(广阔的、巨大的)也表示大,但“enormous”更能体现不仅是大而且极具挑战性的感觉;“massive”更多侧重于物理上的大且重,这里描述任务主要是其复杂性和难度,所以“enormous”更合适。
31. 答案:C(expertise)
解析:“expertise”指在特定领域的专业技能或知识,地面控制团队需要运用他们在航天飞行和任务控制方面的专业知识和技能来计算新的飞行路径和程序。“skills”(技能)和“abilities”(能力)比较笼统;“talents”通常指天赋才能,而“expertise”更针对他们在工作领域所具备的专业知识和技能,这对于处理这种艰难情况至关重要。
32. 答案:D(endure)
解析:“endure”意思是“忍受、忍耐”,强调在面对艰难困苦或不愉快的情况时不放弃地承受。宇航员们必须忍受像物资短缺、飞船受损等极其困难的处境。“bear”也有忍受之意,但“endure”更能体现出在艰难状况下坚持下去的那种感觉;“tolerate”更多是指容忍一些可能让人厌烦或不愉快但不一定像宇航员面临的这么困难的情况;“withstand”侧重于抵抗或承受某种力量或压力,没有“endure”那种全面应对艰难处境的意思。
33. 答案:A(scarce)
解析:“scarce”表示“缺乏的、不足的”,这里说电力、水和食物的供应对宇航员来说是短缺的,所以他们才需要定量分配。“rare”(罕见的)意思是不常见,不是用来描述物资数量的;“sparse”(稀疏的)侧重于分布稀疏,不是指数量短缺;“infrequent”(不频繁的)是指事情发生不频繁,与物资短缺的意思无关。
34. 答案:B(courage)
解析:“courage”是最常用且通用的表示“勇气”的词汇,用来描述宇航员们需要有勇气去面对危险处境和各种挑战。“bravery”是“courage”比较正式或文学性的同义词,但“courage”在日常用语中更常用;“valor”更具英雄主义且很正式,常与军事行动相关;“boldness”更多是指大胆、敢于冒险,但没有“courage”那种面对困难时冷静且坚定的感觉。
35. 答案:A(successfully)
解析:“successfully”意思是“成功地”,阿波罗13号成功地重新进入地球大气层并且宇航员们被安全营救,这里就是强调重新进入大气层这个动作是成功完成的。“triumphantly”(胜利地、得意洋洋地)和“victoriously”(胜利地)更带有一种庆祝胜利的感觉,在这里重点是任务成功完成,用这两个词有点过于强调胜利的情感,不太合适;“winningly”(迷人地、获胜地)更多与在竞赛中获胜或有迷人的方式相关,不符合这里飞船成功重返大气层的语境。
4、 语法填空
36. with。表示“带有”。
37. has flown。since 1961 提示用现在完成时。
38. missions。根据语境用复数形式。
39. regardless。regardless of“不管;不顾”。
40. have sustained。since 1977 决定用现在完成时。
41. that。引导定语从句,先行词是 rover。

Troubles seem to be piling up for aerospace giant Boeing. Recently, a communications satellite designed and constructed by Boeing has disintegrated in orbit. This satellite, iS - 33e, which was operated by Intelsat, has suffered a "total loss". As a result, customers in Europe, Africa, and parts of the Asia - Pacific region have been affected. Intelsat has initiated a "comprehensive analysis" of this incident and is collaborating with Boeing and relevant government agencies to study the data and observations.
Boeing, already in the midst of multiple crises, has not directly addressed this satellite issue, instead referring the BBC News to Intelsat's statements. The US Department of Defense's SpaceTrack website has also verified the incident, noting that the US Space Forces are currently tracking around 20 associated debris pieces of the satellite.
Moreover, Boeing's problems extend further. Two astronauts who arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) in June via the Boeing Starliner capsule are now stranded as the capsule is unfit for the return journey. They will have to wait until next year to return to Earth on a SpaceX spacecraft. In addition to these space - related issues, Boeing has been grappling with a massive strike involving over 30,000 workers in its commercial plane business since last month. Union members are set to vote on the company's new offer this Wednesday, which includes a 35% pay raise over four years.
To make matters worse, last week Boeing announced it's seeking up to $35bn in new funding and will start laying off 17,000 employees, approximately 10% of its workforce, from November. In July, Boeing pleaded guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge and paid at least $243.6m after violating a 2021 deferred prosecution deal related to two 737 - MAX planes involved in nearly - identical accidents that claimed 346 lives over five years ago. This series of events has cast a long shadow over Boeing's reputation and future.

In the realm of space exploration, an interesting development has emerged. Scientists generally don't believe in the existence of aliens on the moon. However, if by some minuscule chance they do exist, the astronauts bound for the moon in the near future will surely make an impression. Some may consider this a humorous thought, but it highlights an important aspect - the evolution of spacesuits.
The new spacesuit for the 2026 Artemis mission, revealed on Oct. 16, is a remarkable example. This project is a collaboration between Italian fashion house Prada and Houston - based startup Axiom Space. This mission holds great significance as it will be the first lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972.
The new spacesuit may not seem drastically different from its predecessors at first glance. Yet, it has unique features such as red trim and grey patches on the knees and elbows, adding a touch of color. But it's not just about aesthetics. Prada's expertise in sewing methods and high - performance materials has been incorporated. The aim is to create a suit that is both visually appealing and comfortable, while also withstanding the harsh conditions of space travel, like the extreme temperatures of the moon for at least two hours.
This partnership showcases how innovation thrives when diverse teams with different backgrounds and skills come together. Moreover, this is part of a growing trend where luxury brands are entering the space - related business, as seen with other examples like Pierre Cardin's new astronaut training suit and Hilton's involvement in space station suite design.
8. What is the significance of the Artemis mission's spacesuit according to the text?
A. It is designed to fight against possible alien attacks.
B. It combines style and functionality for space exploration.
C. It only focuses on improving the appearance of astronauts.
D. It is a copy of the spacesuits used in the Apollo 17 mission.

B. By using its knowledge of traditional fashion only.
C. By sharing sewing techniques and material expertise.
D. By designing the whole structure without Axiom Space's help.
10. What can we infer from Matt Ondler's words?
A. Homogeneous teams are better for innovation.
B. Innovation comes from similar educational backgrounds.
C. Only companies with space experience can innovate.
D. Diverse teams can bring new ideas to the design process.
11. What does the trend mentioned in the last paragraph imply?
A. Luxury brands are running out of business on Earth.
B. Space exploration is becoming less professional.
C. More industries are getting involved in space - related work.
D. Fashion and hotel industries are replacing traditional space companies.

The event involving NASA astronauts Williams and Wilmore's flight on the Boeing Starliner has become a focal point of discussion within the space community, shedding light on the crucial aspects of space travel safety and decision - making.
The mission that commenced on June 5 was beset with problems right from the get - go. Prior to the launch, the detection of two helium leaks was a significant concern. Despite the ambiguity regarding the root cause of these leaks, the decision to launch was still made by NASA and Boeing. This decision has been a subject of debate, as it put the astronauts in a potentially perilous situation. Once in space, the situation deteriorated further with additional leaks and the malfunction of some thrusters during the docking process with the International Space Station (ISS). Nevertheless, the astronauts managed to reach the ISS safely.
NASA's subsequent decision to change the return vehicle from the Starliner to the SpaceX Crew Dragon in February is also a matter of great interest. While some view this as a necessary step to safeguard the astronauts' well - being, others question the reliability of the initial evaluations of the Starliner's safety.
The astronauts' current situation on the ISS during this extended stay is multi - faceted. Emotionally, they have mixed feelings. Williams stated that adjusting to life on the ISS was manageable, given their previous experience, and she expressed her love for space. However, both astronauts are understandably disappointed about having to cancel their long - awaited family reunions. Wilmore, in particular, will miss his daughter's final year in high school.
Functionally, the astronauts have not been idle. As part of the 12 - astronaut ISS crew, they have actively engaged in over 40 experiments and have contributed more than 100 hours of valuable work. Their active participation underlines their significance within the team during this unexpected turn of events.
This incident highlights the inherent risks and uncertainties in space exploration. It serves as a reminder of the importance of more accurate risk assessment and more sound decision - making in future space missions to ensure the safety and success of astronauts.
12. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. To introduce the daily life of astronauts on the ISS.
B. To discuss the problems and consequences of a space mission and its implications.
C. To analyze the technical details of the Boeing Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon.
D. To emphasize the achievements of NASA in space exploration.
13. What can be inferred from the passage about future space missions?
A. They will only use SpaceX spacecraft due to safety concerns.
B. Risk assessment and decision - making will be more carefully considered.
C. Astronauts will not be allowed to have personal plans during missions.
D. More experiments will be conducted on the ISS without any restrictions.
14. What was the most critical issue during the Starliner's mission before reaching the ISS?
A. The astronauts' lack of experience in handling emergencies.
B. The failure of the navigation system.
C. The series of leaks and thruster problems.
D. The communication breakdown with the ground control.
15. What is the author's attitude towards the decision - making process during this space mission?
