英语 选择性必修 第三册(译林) Section Ⅳ　Extended reading & Project Why we explore 我们为何探索 In 1969, when Neil Armstrong first landed on the Moon, many people thought that soon we would be regularly visiting other planets in our solar system and would even dare to travel beyond it. 1969年，当尼尔·阿姆斯特朗首次登陆月球时，许多人认为，不久我们就将经常去往太阳系内其他行星，甚至敢去往太阳系之外旅行。 This is clearly not the case. 情况显然不是这样。 The reality is that space exploration is extremely difficult and dangerous, can take a very long time and costs a huge amount of money. 现实是，太空探索极度困难而危险，会耗费漫长的时间，并花费大量的金钱。 •Some people believe that while space exploration expands our understanding of the universe, it is a waste of the public purse and does nothing to enhance the quality of our lives here on the Earth. 有些人相信，虽然太空探索拓展了我们对宇宙的理解，但它浪费政府资金，并且对于提升我们在地球上的生活质量毫无帮助。 Why do we continue to explore space, then? 那么，为什么我们还要继续探索太空呢？ ①purse n. 资金，财源；钱包 ②that引导宾语从句，可以省略，从句中while引导让步状语从句。 It is in our nature to explore. 探索是我们的天性。 From the very early days of human life on the Earth, our curiosity about the unknown has kept us adventuring into new places. 从地球上最早期的人类生命开始，我们对于未知事物的好奇心就一直促使我们去往新的地方冒险。 We long to visit thick and wild forests, climb vast mountain ranges, and cross deep oceans. 我们渴望探索茂密的原始森林，攀登广袤的山脉，越过深邃的海洋。 We desire to explore the furthest frontier of all—space. 我们想要探索这世间最为遥远的边界——太空。 As Stephen Hawking once said, “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. 正如斯蒂芬·霍金曾经所说：“记得仰望星空，不要低头看脚下。 •Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. 努力去认清你所看到的事物，并且思索是什么让这个宇宙存在。 Be curious.” 要有好奇心。” ③本句为祈使句，句中两个what都引导宾语从句。 •That we are fascinated by the sky is evident in ancient tales from around the world, such as that of Chang'e. 天空令我们心驰神往，从世界各地的古老传说里明显看出这一点，例如嫦娥的传说。 While space exploration is a reality, we remain curious about the mysteries of the universe. 虽然太空探索已成现实，我们仍对宇宙的奥秘充满好奇。 With each space mission comes greater insight, thus motivating us to continue along the same path of adventure. 每次太空任务的进行，随之而来的是更深刻的理解，从而激励着我们沿着同一条冒险之路继续前行。 ④tale n. 故事；讲述，叙述 ⑤第一个that引导主语从句，在从句中不作成分。 The results of these space investigations have made major contributions to an understanding of the origin, evolution, and likely future of the universe, such as planets, stars, and all other forms of matter and energy. 这些太空科学研究的成果，为我们理解宇宙，如行星、恒星以及所有其他形式的物质和能量的起源、演化和可能的未来，作出了重要的贡献。 Exploring space helps address fundamental questions about our place in the universe and the history of our solar system. 探索太空，有助于阐明关于我们在宇宙中的位置以及太阳系的历史这些本质问题。 •It is through our research into space that we have confirmed that the Earth is round and that it orbits the Sun. 正是通过我们对太空的研究，我们才能确定地球是圆的，它绕着太阳公转。 •As we learn more about the universe, we may one day answer the question whether there is life on other planets. 随着我们对宇宙的了解日益加深，总有一天我们可以回答其他行星上是否有生命这个问题。 ⑥origin n. 起源，起因；出身 ⑦此处是强调句型，第二、三个that引导宾语从句，第三个that不能省略。 ⑧as引导时间状语从句，主句中含有whether 引导的同位语从句，解释说明the question的内容。 With technologies first researched and developed for space exploration, we can solve some of the big problems facing mankind, making our lives safer and easier. 依靠为太空探索首次研发的技术，我们可以解决人类面临的一些重大问题，让我们的生活变得更加安全和舒适。 One of these is earthquake shock absorbers. 其中一个就是地震减震器。 Shock absorbers originally applied to the space shuttle launch have also been set up in the cities with a high frequency of earthquakes in order to protect buildings and save lives. 最早应用到航天飞机发射中的减震器，也已经安装在地震频发的城市里，用以保护建筑和拯救生命。 ⑨shuttle n. 航天飞机；来往于两地之间的航班(或班车、火车)　vi. 频繁往来(于两地之间) ⑩frequency n. 发生率，出现率；频繁；频率 Some technologies need further research to better solve real­life problems. 有些技术还需要进一步研究，以便更好地解决现实生活中的问题。 For example, liquid hydrogen is a clean alternative energy source that is used widely as rocket fuel, and it is likely that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be mass­produced and launched in the near future. 例如，液态氢，一种清洁的可替代能源，被广泛用作火箭燃料，而氢燃料的电动汽车很有可能在不久的将来实现批量生产和投放。 These scientific and technological advances can provide benefits to societies on the Earth in many areas including health, energy and information technology. 这些科技的进步，能在包括健康、能源和信息技术等众多领域造福于地球上的群体。 This should be a strong motive for continuing to explore space. 这应该成为继续探索太空的一个强有力的动机。 ⑪hydrogen n. 氢，氢气 ⑫rocket n. 火箭；火箭武器 ⑬motive n. 原因，动机，目的 Although space exploration demands huge investment, the space industry can actually bring great economic value. 尽管太空探索需要巨额投资，但实际上航天业能够带来巨大的经济价值。 It has been calculated that the global space economy is increasing by billions of dollars every year. 据统计，全球航天经济每年增长数十亿美元。 At the same time, space exploration can provide a variety of career opportunities for young people. 与此同时，太空探索能为年轻人提供各种各样的工作机会。 Jobs in the space industry go far beyond the astronauts that receive widespread media coverage. 航天产业的职业远不只是受到媒体广泛报道的宇航员。 There are many support staff on the ground, such as engineers, mechanics and research assistants. 有许多地面的支撑人员，例如工程师、机械师和研究助理。 ⑭investment n. 投资；投入 ⑮calculate vt. 计算，核算；预测 ⑯coverage n. 新闻报道；覆盖范围；信息范围 ⑰mechanic n. 机械师，技工 ⑱assistant n. 助理；售货员；助教　adj. 助理的，副的 •Moreover, the amazing work these people do can provide education and inspiration for the next generation. 此外，这些人所做的出色工作，能为下一代提供教育和激励。 For me personally, this is by far the biggest reason for humanity to explore space. 对我个人而言，这是迄今为止人类探索太空的最大原因。 Such wonders as a space shuttle launch or astronauts walking on the Moon are incredibly exciting and inspiring to witness, and it can be these moments that shape children's lives forever and motivate them to become the scientists and engineers of the future. 亲眼见证航天飞机发射或宇航员月球漫步这样的奇迹，是极其振奋与鼓舞人心的；可能正是这些时刻将长久地影响孩子们的人生，激励他们成为未来的科学家和工程师。 It is this kind of inspiration that keeps our thirst for knowledge alive and ensures that advances in space exploration and many other fields will continue to be made. 也正是这种激励，使我们始终保持对知识的渴望，并确保在太空探索及其他许多领域会一直取得进步。 When you have seen a man walk on the Moon, you grow up believing that anything is possible! 当你见过一个人在月球漫步，那么你在成长中就会坚信，一切皆有可能！ ⑲incredibly adv. 极其，极端地；令人难以置信 ⑳these people do是省略了引导词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词the amazing work。 1 As Stephen Hawking once said, “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.” (教材P25)

that 课后课时作业 Ⅰ　阅读 In a weightless, microgravity (微重力) environment like space, how can someone with sight or mobility (流动性) problems navigate in the space station? As scientists continue to push the boundaries of spaceflight and the possibility of human life on other planets, how can we build space infrastructure (基础设施) friendly to all humans? The Mission AstroAccess project aims to answer these questions, starting with a historic parabolic (抛物线的) flight that took off from Long Bench on Oct. 17, 2021. A group of 12 disabled scientists, students, athletes and artists launched into a zero­gravity environment as a first step. To get a better idea of what is needed for more inclusive space travel, AstroAccess plans to conduct a series of follow­on parabolic flights after the first launch. On these flights, a plane flies up to an altitude of around 32，000 feet and then begins a descent at about 4 miles per second. This quick descent creates a microgravity, weightless effect lasting roughly 30 seconds. Afterwards, the plane climbs back up to a stable altitude, and repeats the process again. The 12 AstroAccess Ambassadors selected for this first microgravity flight included four blind or low­vision Ambassadors; two deaf or hard­of­hearing Ambassadors; and six with mobility disabilities, all carrying out various tasks in the weightless environment. One of the challenges was seeing whether all members could perform basic safety and operational tasks. The crew also tested whether sound beacons (声信标) could be used for blind members to direst themselves. They are also investigating how American Sign Language will be impacted by microgravity. “My whole career goal is to make the average person able to go to outer space, where you don't have to be a crazy trained astronaut with perfect physical abilities and health to visit outer space，” said Brenda Williamson, head of the AstroAccess logistics committee. “I grew up on Star Trek, so the idea of exploration is really important.” 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者们正在解决在完全失重或微重力的太空，部分视力或行动不便的人如何在太空站这样封闭的空间进行导航，以及如何建立适合人类居住的基础设施的问题。 1．Why is the Mission AstroAccess project carried out? A．To expose the disabled to zero gravity. B．To train a group of disabled astronauts. C．To involve all humans in spaceflight. D．To build mobile space infrastructure. 答案：C　推理判断题。根据第一段的内容以及第二段第一句中的“The Mission AstroAccess project aims to answer these questions”可推知，建立The Mission AstroAccess的目的是要解决如何在太空建立适合所有人类居住的太空基础设施的问题，让所有人都参与太空飞行。故选C。 2．What does the underlined word “descent” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Going down. B．Going up. C．Taking off. D．Touching down. 答案：A　词义猜测题。根据第二段的内容可知，飞机要进行抛物线飞行试验，画线词前讲到飞机先往上飞了约32，000英尺，说明之后要往下飞，所以descent的意思应该是“下降”。故选A。 3．What do we know about the 12 selected Ambassadors? A．They all have mobility problems. B．They communicate by sign language. C．They do scientific research in the lab. D．They perform tasks in weightlessness. 答案：D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“A group of 12 disabled scientists, students, athletes and artists launched into a zero­gravity environment as a first step.(作为第一步，由12名残疾科学家、学生、运动员和艺术家组成的小组进入了零重力环境。)”可知，这12个人是在完全失重的情况下做任务的。故选D。 4．What does Brenda Williamson think of the project? A．Meaningful. B．Successful. C．Unrealistic. D．Challenging. 答案：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，Brenda Williamson(布伦达·威廉姆森)是看《星际迷航》长大的，对她来说探索的想法很重要。由此可推知，Brenda Williamson认为这个项目很有意义。故选A。 1．navigate v. 导航，引路 2．inclusive adj. 包容广阔的 3．altitude n. 高度 1．start with 从……开始__ 2．carry out 实施；完成(任务) Ⅱ　七选五 November 2, 2020 was a major anniversary for the International Space Station and marked 20 years since people first began living there. But the space station, in fact, spent 22 years in Earth's orbit. __1__ There were just three small rooms in the space station when the first crew arrived. There was hardly any space for them to move around. __2__ Bill Shepherd, the station's first commander, described his time living there as life on a ship at sea. __3__ Communication problems could last hours. “Each day seemed to have its own challenging things，” Shepherd recalled recently. But the situation has come to a close long before. Today the space station is almost as large as a football field. __4__ Astronauts have near­continuous communication and even a phone to use personally. It takes only 90 minutes for the space station to circle the world. __5__ Shepherd said the past 20 year of international experience and cooperation drives massive projects, like possibly sending humans to the planet Mars, and deserves studying and remembering. A．Living in space stations seems to be fun. B．Its first piece was launched into space in 1998. C．They had periodic radio contact with the ground. D．The air was warm and wet, leaving them feeling sticky. E．That gives crew members a chance of enjoying 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets each day. F．It has enough solar power equipment to fill almost four­tenths of 10，000 square meters. G．The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruits and vegetables fresh. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要将20年前的太空站与现在的太空站作比较，说明科技的重要性。 1．B　根据设空前“But the space station, in fact, spent 22 years in Earth's orbit.(事实上，太空站在地球轨道上待了22年。)”可知，此处应说明第一次登上太空站的时间。B项(它第一个部件是于1998年被送入太空。)符合语境。故选B。 2．D　根据设空后“Bill Shepherd, the station's first commander, described his time living there as life on a ship at sea.(比尔·谢泼德曾经描述他在太空站的生活与海上船上的生活一样。)”可知，此处应说明在太空站的环境状况。D项(空气温暖潮湿，让他们觉得很闷热。)符合语境。故选D。 3．C　根据设空后“Communication problems could last hours.(沟通问题也会持续几小时。)”可知，此处应说明沟通的困难。C项(他们与地面联系使用的是周期性的无线电。)符合语境。故选C。 4．F　根据设空前“Today the space station is almost as large as a football field.”可知，现在的太空站与一个足球场一样大。F项(在4，000平方米内，它有着足够多的太阳能设备。)承接前文，符合语境。故选F。 5．E　根据设空前“It takes only 90 minutes for the space station to circle the world.”可知，太空站只需要90分钟就能环绕世界一圈。E项(这能让机组成员在一天之内看到16次日出和16次日落。)顺承前文，符合语境。故选E。 Ⅲ　读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As flying through the blue sky, 5，000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, 23­year­old pilot Sydnie Uemoto heard the sound—a subtle change in the noise as the engines began to operate hard. Her co­pilot, 26­year­old Dave McMahon, heard it, too. They were just two young pilots, taking a short trip with no passengers. Then, without warning, the pilots lost power to the engines. The next few minutes were in disorder. Nothing worked. At about 1，000 feet above the ocean the plane fell quickly, Uemoto made the last distress call. “We're 25 miles northwest of Kona，” she said to air traffic control. “We're going down.” Uemoto held the controls tightly. She knew the chances of survival were slim. “Just land as if you're landing on the ground，” Uemoto told herself. As the plane rushed toward the ocean, she forced herself to imagine a runway spreading along the water. McMahon and Uemoto were thrown forward violently. McMahon opened his eyes to wait for death. He realized that he was, incredibly, OK. Uemoto was next to him, shocked and bleeding, but still conscious. She rose to her feet hard and felt the blood pouring down her face. “Get out！” McMahon shouted loudly. The water was knee­high inside the plane, and it would be flooded in moments. Uemoto made every effort through the water toward the door, picking up two life preservers along the way. By the time she'd climbed out onto the wing, the water was covering the seats of the plane. As the plane sank, they jumped into the ocean. Within seconds, the plane disappeared from the surface. The waves broke around them. McMahon and Uemoto had done the impossible by surviving a crash landing into the ocean. Uemoto, however, was frightened and started to cry.

It flew directly overhead as McMahon waved his hand. And then, without any sign of recognition, the plane continued on its way. Help had arrived, but then shockingly disappeared over the sight. Over the next several hours, plane after plane flew overhead, circling in search of the lost pilots. Each time, McMahon and Uemoto did what they could to be seen. But each time, the potential rescue plane continued its flight without recognizing them. But McMahon and Uemoto didn't give up hope. Suddenly, a rescue helicopter arrived near them. McMahon and Uemoto became excited. They shouted and waved their life preservers. Luckily, the rescuers in the helicopter saw them this time.
