On July 20, 1969, I sat in Yankee Stadium, I remember the game was 78 by the news that the Apollo 11 lunar module had landed on the moon. That evening, I stayed up, rewarded by the 79 of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepping onto the moon for the first time. Before, during, and after the mission, did they 80 ? Though I never walked on the moon, almost 32 years after that day. I earned a(n) 81 to understand it.
On February 7, 2001, I was fastened into my seat as the 82 boarded the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Was I worried? Yes. About my 83 ? No. As the launch clock counted down, I thought of my 84 .

I was overcome with 86 when I looked at the majesty of our planet from 200 miles above.
Watching the world go by at 87 five miles per second creates an unparalleled (无与伦比的) perspective: It’s nearly 88 to tell where one country’s border ends and another begins.

Edward J. Dwight Jr. has waited a long time for his ride into space. In the 1960s, he seemed ready to become America's first Black 91 . That dream was never realized.

He points out that the difficulties of his upcoming 97 won't be much different from what he 98 as a test pilot in the Air Force. “I’ ve pulled more G’s than any person on Earth,” he 99 it with a bitter smile.
Space health expert Dorit Donoviel says the 11-minute flight means many of the 100 about the long-term effects of deep-space missions won't come into play. “The main thing we worry about is the G forces,” says Donoviel. 101 , she points out that the seats are 102 at 20 or 30 degrees. “As you’ re-experiencing the G-forces, you' re getting it through the 103 , which is not affecting your head,” Donoviel says. “It's distributed through the chest, which really shouldn't 104 very much.”
And then there's the landing. “It's not even a controlled crash. It's a crash,” Donoviel says. Still, she 105 no issues.

(2025高二上·云南大理·期中)SPACE, the final frontier, the stuff of dreams. Yet, in reality, a place that is filled with 46 and sometimes tragedy (悲剧). This time, its legendary tale is 47 by British astronaut Tim Peake in his book Space: The human story.
It is about the 48 experience and the “unusual normality of what we try and make out our job to be——it’s 49 people doing extraordinary jobs”, says Peake, 50 an ambassador for the European Space Agency.
The main image of one photo included in this book 51 the biggest feat (壮举) so far: the 52 moon landing on 20 July 1969. This is not the representative 53 of Neil Armstrong’s first steps, 54 a more candid picture (taken by Armstrong) of Buzz Aldrin walking across the lunar surface.
Four days earlier, the Apollo 11 mission 55 the moon, as a striking image of its launch shows. To its left, Ed White can be seen spacewalking during the Gemini 4 mission in June 1965, which saw him floating roughly 150 kilometers 56 Earth. Ed White and astronauts Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffe were set to crew the Apollo 1 mission, a predecessor (前身) of Apollo 11 that was 57 to launch into orbit around Earth in February 1967. The image at top left shows them during capsule training. 58 , all three died on 27 January 1967, after a fire broke out during a test.
Thinking of the 59 , Peake says: “We’re looking at establishing a lunar station and stepping stones to Mars. As the ISS (International Space Station) comes to its retirement, it felt like the right time to 60 the whole story up to date.”

Passage 5
Most people will remember the excitement of receiving their first letter from a pen pal. The 61 of receiving those letters is beyond description.
Chen Man-lin, a 15-year-old Hong Kong student, was very happy. Her pen pal was orbiting in the Tiangong Space Station when he wrote inspiring words to her. When Chen 62 the national letter-writing activity named “Sending My Dream to Tiangong” to write to the 63 on Tiangong, she wrote a letter the same evening. In her letter, she detailed every moment of her own planned 64 toward contributing (贡献) to national aerospace (航天航空) development, and what she knew about astronauts and the national aerospace development program. Chen’s 65 to write the letter was more than just an impulse (冲动). Her 66 in space had begun at the age of six 67 she watched the live broadcast from orbit (轨道) of a science lecture. She poured that passion for space into her letter, as well as some of her problems over her studies in life.

As one of the 30,000 students from all over the country to take part in the activity, Chen was 69 chosen to receive a reply, the only one in Hong Kong. To encourage the students, Chen Dong recalled 70 he became an astronaut step by step. He also shared his tips for overcoming the difficulties when studying physics and other 71 necessary to achieve his goals. He hoped that young Hong Kong people could follow 72 dreams and make contributions to the country.
The arrival of a letter from space was also a 73 gift to mark the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland. “I’ll do as he 74 in the letter; study harder and 75 to stay healthy. I look forward to contributing to national aerospace development in the future,” said Chen.

Passage 6
In my middle school, black and white TVs rolled into classrooms whenever there was a launch of American astronauts. Astronauts became my heroes, and when the 76 came as to what I wanted to do when I grew up, the answer was 77 .
On July 20, 1969, I sat in Yankee Stadium, I remember the game was 78 by the news that the Apollo 11 lunar module had landed on the moon. That evening, I stayed up, rewarded by the 79 of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepping onto the moon for the first time. Before, during, and after the mission, did they 80 ? Though I never walked on the moon, almost 32 years after that day. I earned a(n) 81 to understand it.
On February 7, 2001, I was fastened into my seat as the 82 boarded the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Was I worried? Yes. About my 83 ? No. As the launch clock counted down, I thought of my 84 . I had to do my job well—or I would 85 the whole team. This mission wasn’t about me. As I began to drift, a crewmate grabbed me and pressed my face to a window. I was overcome with 86 when I looked at the majesty of our planet from 200 miles above.
Watching the world go by at 87 five miles per second creates an unparalleled (无与伦比的) perspective: It’s nearly 88 to tell where one country’s border ends and another begins. I can’t help but 89 what I learned as an astronaut. Humans have to teach ourselves to 90 peacefully and sustainably—that’s the true legacy (遗产) of Apollo 11.

For many his age, a journey into space would seem 96 . Dwight says he's ready to go. He points out that the difficulties of his upcoming 97 won't be much different from what he 98 as a test pilot in the Air Force. “I’ ve pulled more G’s than any person on Earth,” he 99 it with a bitter smile.
Space health expert Dorit Donoviel says the 11-minute flight means many of the 100 about the long-term effects of deep-space missions won't come into play. “The main thing we worry about is the G forces,” says Donoviel. 101 , she points out that the seats are 102 at 20 or 30 degrees. “As you’ re-experiencing the G-forces, you' re getting it through the 103 , which is not affecting your head,” Donoviel says. “It's distributed through the chest, which really shouldn't 104 very much.”
And then there's the landing. “It's not even a controlled crash. It's a crash,” Donoviel says. Still, she 105 no issues.

Passage 6
(2025高二上·河南平顶山·阶段练习)
It is the first time that Chinese scientists 51 (discover) water in materials collected during a Chinese moon mission. The water is in 52 (extreme) small glass beads (小珠子) that were found in the dirt where many meteorites (流星) have hit the moon. The dirt 53 (collect) in 2020. The beads differ in size 54 the width of one hair to several hairs. Since billions if not trillions of these beads exist on the moon, there could be large amounts of water. But mining it would be difficult, the research team said.
The findings are based on 32 glass beads randomly 55 (choose) from moon dirt collected on China’s Chang’e 5 moon mission.
The study’s findings raise the 56 (possible) that water could be removed by 57 (heat) the beads in future robotic missions. Still, more studies would be needed to show whether such water removals are possible 58 if the water would be safe to drink.
Earlier studies found water in glass beads formed by volcanic activity on the moon. Those studies used material collected on the moon by American astronauts more than fifty years ago.
The American space agency NASA plans 59 (put) astronauts back on the moon’s surface by the end of 2025. The astronauts will aim for the south pole 60 craters (坑) are believed to be filled with frozen water.
Passage 7
(2025高二上·内蒙古赤峰·阶段练习)
China’s Chang’e-6 mission has attracted worldwide attention. It is designed to explore the far side of the moon, a region still 61 (remain) mysterious until now.
The far side of the moon is quite different from the near side. Chang’e-6 aims to collect lunar soil, also known 62 regolith. The regolith on the far side of the moon is believed to contain valuable information about the moon’s formation and evolution. Scientists are eager to study it 63 (find) out more about the early solar system.
When Chang’e-6 returns to Earth, it may use Qian Xuesen Trajectory, 64 requires precise calculations and advanced technology. The spacecraft needs to adjust 65 (it) speed and angle accurately during the re-entry process.
During the mission, many challenges 66 (face). For example, the communication with the spacecraft when it is on the far side of the moon is 67 (relative) difficult because the moon blocks the direct signal. Over the years, scientists 68 (develop) new communication technologies to solve this problem.
69 success of Chang’e-6 will not only contribute to our understanding of the moon but also inspire future space exploration. Each 70 (discover) made by Chang’e-6 is likely to open up new areas of research.
