They make vehicles to carry brave people into space to find out the secrets of the universe. They also really wish to discover other planets that are suitable enough to support life. Para. 1 Why do people want to explore space? discover other planets that are suitable enough to support life. find out the secrets of the universe learn more about space main idea: Humans have always had _______________ about space. a natural curiosity Space exploration carries human’s curiosity. “Are we alone? What’s out there?” Looking up at the stars, people have always wanted to learn more about space, and scientists work hard to find answers. They make vehicles to carry brave people into space to find out the secrets of the universe. They also really wish to discover other planets that are suitable enough to support life. Para. 1 Why does the passage begin with two questions? To impress readers To attract readers’ attention and curiosity about the content To raise readers’ reflection 9 Before the mid-20th century, most people felt travelling into space was an impossible dream. However, some scientists were determined to help humans realise their dream to explore space. After many experiments, they succeeded in making rockets that could escape Earth’s gravity. On 4 October 1957, the Sputnik 1 satellite was lunched by the USSR and successfully orbited around Earth. Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space, and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to go into space. Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, famously saying, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Following this, many more goals were achieved. For example, America’s NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today. Para. 2 What’s the topic sentence in Para. 2? However, some scientists were determined to help humans realise their dream to explore space. How realised their dream? 10 before the mid-20th century 4 Oct. 1957 12 Apr. 1961 20 Jul. 1969 5 Sep. 1977 an impossible dream The Sputnik 1 satellite was launched bt the USSR Yuri Gagarin, he first person to go into space Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon Voyager 1 was sent to study deep space, and transmits data today a reality determination persistence curiosity effort ambition That’s one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind. Space exploration motivates human’s determination, persistence, curiosity, effort and ambition.

What’s out there?” Looking up at the stars, people have always wanted to learn more about space, and scientists work hard to find answers. They make vehicles to carry brave people into space to find out the secrets of the universe. They also really wish to discover other planets that are suitable enough to support life. ①“Are we alone? What’s out there?” Looking up at the stars and wondered about space . Today scientist design vehicles to carry astronauts into space to to make important discoveries. Space exploration has come a long way, and we now hope to discover other planets that are suitable enough to support life. 抬头看 交通工具 太空探索 合适的 维持生命 想知道 ② Before the mid-20th century, most people felt travelling into space was an impossible dream. /However, some scientists were determined to help humans realise their dream to explore space. /After many experiments, they succeeded in making rockets that could escape Earth’s gravity. /On 4 October 1957, the Sputnik 1 satellite was lunched by the USSR and successfully orbited around Earth. /Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space, and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to go into space. 太空探索 决定做某事 实现他们的梦想 成功做某事 制作火箭 逃离地球的引力 旅伴一号 人造卫星 发射 围绕地球运行 专注于 载人飞行 ②Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, famously saying, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” /Following this, many more goals were achieved./ For example, America’s NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today. /And the international Space Station (1998)has provided a continuous human presence in space , with astronauts from many different countries on board. 踏入 巨大的 人类 旅行者一号 传输 国际空间站 出现 在宇宙飞船上 Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen. All the astronauts on the USSR’s Soyuz 11 and America’s Challenger died during their missions. These disasters made everyone sad and disappointed , but the desire to explore the universe never died. This is because people believe in the importance of carrying on space exploration despite the huge risks. An example of this ongoing work is the International Space Station. It orbits Earth and has astronauts from different countries on board, providing a continuous human presence in space. Para. 3 Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen Space Station International cooperation main idea: Space travel has always involved _________, but despite ______ exploration _________. great risks risks continues Para. 4 China’s space programme started later than those of Russia and the US, but it has made great progress in a short time. China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003, when Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. Then Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk, followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit being sent to the moon to study its surface. After that, China launched the Tiangong 2 space lab into space and Tianzhou1 to dock with it. This signalled one step further in China’s plan to establish a space station in the future. More recently, China has sent Chang’e 4 to explore the surface of the far side of the moon to make measurements and observations. What’s the topic sentence in Para. 4? What progress did China make? China’s space programme started later than those of Russia and the US, but it has made great progress in a short time 17 Para. 5 The future of space exploration remains bright. Europe, the US, and China all have plans to further study and explore planets like Mars and Jupiter. Despite the difficulties, scientists hope future discoveries will not only enable us to understand how the universe began, but also help us survive well into the future. The future of space exploration remains bright future plan cooperation will not only enable us to will not only enable us to understand how the universe began, but also help us survive well into the future. will not only enable us to main idea: The _______ of space exploration looks _______, as many countries are planning _____________. bright future further missions 18 Further thinking: What’s the significance of space exploration? Space exploration carries human’s curiosity. Space exploration motivates human’s determination, persistence, curiosity, effort and ambition. Space exploration enlightens international cooperation. Space exploration witnesses China’s progress. Space exploration links humans and future. significant necessary rewarding 19 Further thinking: What’s the writing type of the passage?
