Passage 1
China's historic 23-day Chang'e 5 mission has not only obtained precious rock and soil samples from the moon, but has also brought back a group of seeds that traveled the furthest in the nation's agricultural and forestry histories. More than 30 kinds of seeds, including that of rice, oats etc., were placed inside the multi-module Chang'e 5 spacecraft and orbited around the moon for about 15 days.
Scientists wished to check what would happen to the seeds after being exposed to extraterrestrial (地外的) forces in lunar orbit and also hoped that they could develop beneficial mutations (突变). This mission offered good opportunities to scientists, which enabled them to deepen their studies on the effect of cosmic rays on the growth and evolution of life on Earth.
Space-based mutation breeding refers to the process of exposing seeds to forces such as microgravity, vacuums and cosmic radiation during a spaceflight and then sending them back to Earth for further observation and planting. Researchers observe and examine several generations of plants grown from space-bred seeds and investigate their mutations-some are positive and desirable while others are negative. Those with positive mutations will be kept and analyzed, and will be introduced to farmers after their certification and approval.
Space breeding can generate mutations faster and more conveniently than ground-based experiments and can bring about some desirable traits that are otherwise hard to introduce. Compared with natural or conventionally bred types of plants, space-developed versions with positive mutations usually feature higher nutritional content, greater annual yields, shorter growth periods and better resistance to diseases and insect pests.
China conducted its first space breeding experiment in 1987, using a satellite to carry seeds into space. Since then, hundreds of kinds of seeds and seedlings have traveled with dozens of Chinese spaceships. Space breeding has helped to produce more than 200 new types of mutated plants in China that have been approved for large-scale cultivation, ranging from grains to vegetables and fruits. The Chang'e 5 robotic mission returned 1,731 grams of lunar rock and soil to Earth, marking a historic accomplishment 44 years after the last lunar substances were taken back.

Passage 2
China launched a large robotic spacecraft on Nov. 24, 2020 at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in South China's Hainan province, tasking it with landing on the moon and bringing back lunar samples, 44 years after the last time such substances were brought back to Earth.
If everything proceeds smoothly, about 2 kilograms of stones and soil will be collected and packed in a vacuum metal container. The entire mission is scheduled to last about 23 days, according to the China National Space Administration. Considering these highly sophisticated operations, Chang'e 5 will be more difficult and challenging than previous Chinese lunar expeditions, designers have said.
According to a statement published by the space administration, the Chang'e 5 mission is intended to fulfill several objectives. In terms of space engineering, it will demonstrate technical plans and apparatus for autonomous lunar sampling and packing and moon-based launching, as well as lunar orbital docking. In the scientific field, it will investigate the landing site's features, and enable scientists to analyze the lunar samples' structure and physical traits so they can deepen their research into the moon's origin and evolution. It added that the mission also will help to foster the country's knowledge, technology and talent pool for its future manned missions to the moon and other deepspace expeditions.
Pei Zhaoyu, spokesman for the Chang'e 5 mission, said if the mission becomes successful, it will be a milestone in the nation's lunar exploration and will show the world China's scientific, technological and engineering capabilities.
Furthermore, Chang'e 5 will strengthen the nation's status and influence in the international space community, pave the way for the country's future lunar expeditions and boost its space science, and will offer more opportunities to lunar researchers around the world.

Passage 3
An exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器 ) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's unknown side never visible from Earth.
China's Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说 ) , was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.
The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth's and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can "see" both the earth and the far side of the moon.
The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.
Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星 ) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.
Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.
1.What do we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.
B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.
C.The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.
D.The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.
2.Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?
A.To reduce the cost as much as possible.
B.To make it circle Moon for a longer time.
C.To avoid being crashed by other satellites.
D.To follow American space experts' advice.’
3.What made researchers suffer from great stress?
A.Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.
B.The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.
C.Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.
D.People's never being optimistic about the relay satellite.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.China is a new space power after the USA.
B.Chang'e-4 probe lands on Moon's far side.
C.Chinese space engineers make much progress.
D.Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.

Passage 6
China has made remarkable achievements in space exploration. The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA)aims to land its astronauts on the moon before 2030 and has recently shown the spacesuit they plan to use. However, the name of the suit is still up in the air.
As reported by Space News, the CMSA revealed their new extravehicular (舱外的)activity (EVA)spacesuit at an event on September 28 in Chongqing, China. The suit was modeled by Wang Yaping, China’s second woman in space, and Zhai Zhigang, another astronaut. The presentation mainly focused on the suit’s outer features. In particular, the new suit is slimmer and lighter than the CMSA’s earlier Feitian EVA suit used for low Earth orbit. It is covered in a protective fabric to guard against extreme temperatures and lunar dust. The suits also havea wide-ranging, non-reflective shield (防护)and both short and long focus length cameras. Unlike the earlier suits, these lunar suits allow for much more flexibility while moving on the moon.
Apart from the practicalities, representatives explained that aesthetics (美学)were also important during the design phase. The appearance of the new spacesuit was emphasized. According to CNN, the mainly white spacesuits have red stripes on their upper parts inspired by the “flying apsaras” from ancient Chinese art. “The stripes on the legs are designed to look like ‘rocket launch flames,’ representing a strong-willed and determined spirit, and that’s the key.” as Zhang Wanxin, director of the CMSA’s engineering office, told China’s CCTV. This weekend’s announcement also saw the CMSA officials task the nation with helping name the new suits, which will be chosen later.
This not only shows China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reflects its cultural pride and rapid advances in science and technology. By integrating traditional Chinese cultural elements into modern technology, China showcases its unique charm and great power to the world. Meanwhile, the public naming initiative encourages citizens to engage with the space program, creating a closer link between the space and the people.

Passage 1
A 24-year-old female space commander(指挥员) Zhou Chengyu has been a heated topic on Weibo since Chinese state media highlighted her as one of the women involved in the successful launch of the Chang'e-5 lunar probe(月球探测器) on 23 November. Social media users have been referring to her as a "source of pride" for the country. 1 Several people jokingly reflected on their own achievements, commenting how far behind in life they were in comparison.
Starting in 2004, the Chang'e Programme consists of three stages of "orbiting", "landing" and "returning". 2 In December 2013, the goal of China's first soft landing on the lunar surface and ground exploration on the Moon was achieved by the lander and Yutu Lunar Rover of Chang'e-3. Last year, Chang'e-4 probe made the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon.
The Chang'e-5 mission is China's third successful Moon landing in seven years. 3 If successful, China would be the third country to bring lunar samples back to Earth after the United States and the Soviet Union.
Most Chinese know the story of the mythological Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the moon. People can't hear the word "Chang'e" without picturing romantic images of a moon goddess. 4 And so pictures of Zhou Chengyu have been all over state media, with comments about how she is a "front-line soldier in the field of aerospace" and a "big sister" that young Chinese can look up to.
However, the huge amount of interest in the Guizhou Province native has not appeared to have had much of an effect on her. 5
A.Her story in particular has inspired the public, considering her young age.
B.She refused repeated requests for interviews in order to focus on her work.
C.However, China has been trying to highlight strong female figures in the country.
D.Despite her young age, Zhou is now working at Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site.
E.Its aim is to gather lunar rocks and soil to help scientists learn more about the moon.
F.For this reason, China's mission to the moon was calling out for a strong female figure(女性形象).
G.China completed the "orbiting" phase by launching Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 lunar probes in 2007 and 2010.

China Brings Samples From the Moon’s Far Side to Earth in First-Ever Feat
(文章来源:Smith Sonian Mag)
In a global first, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has successfully retrieved rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon, a feat that will offer scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study the lesser-understood lunar face that is never visible from Earth.
The samples re-entered Earth’s atmosphere on Tuesday and landed via parachute in rural Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region in northern China. They were secured in a re-entry capsule that detached from a larger spacecraft, called Chang’e-6. The entire mission, the sixth leg of the Chinese space agency’s Chang’e project, lasted nearly two months and marked a milestone for lunar research.
“Chang’e-6 is the first mission in human history to return samples from the far side of the moon,” Long Xiao, a planetary geologist at China University of Geosciences, tells the New York Times’ Katrina Miller. “This is a major event for scientists worldwide… a cause for celebration for all humanity.”
Launched on May 3, the Chang’e-6 spacecraft consisted of four modules: an ascender, an orbiter, a lunar lander and a return capsule. It reached lunar orbit five days later, where it remained for several weeks. On June 1, the lander successfully descended and touched down on the far side of the moon in its oldest and largest impact crater, known as the South Pole-Aitken basin.
This itself was no small feat: Directing the movement of a spacecraft on the far side of the moon is difficult, because the moon blocks radio signals from Earth. To get around this problem, CNSA engineers used two relay satellites, Queqiao and Queqiao-2, launched ahead of this mission, to communicate with the spacecraft.
Once on the moon, Chang’e-6 used a robotic arm’s scoop and drill to collect 4.4 pounds of lunar material from impact crater. Compared to the lunar face we can see, the far side of the moon has a thicker crust, fewer ancient lava plains called maria and a greater number of craters and debris from collisions.
“Recovering samples from the far side is tremendously exciting scientifically, as we only have very limited information on the geology there,” Martin Barstow, an astrophysicist at the University of Leicester in England, tells the Guardian’s Ian Sample. “It has been processed very differently to the side of the moon facing us, which has been extensively resurfaced by volcanic activity in the past, creating the maria from which most samples have been obtained.”
The collection of rocks launched from the lunar surface in the spacecraft’s ascender on June 3, then united with the orbiter days later. It began its Earth-bound journey on June 21, culminating in its arrival to China this week.
Scientists hope the newly secured material will offer clear evidence of the history of lunar asteroid impacts, which could, in turn, shed light on impacts to the early Earth. Most known basins on the moon formed from a barrage of space rocks some 3.9 billion years ago, during a period known as the Late Heavy Bombardment. It is likely, astronomers say, that asteroid showers that hit the moon also hit our home planet.
“This also has implications for understanding the origins of life on Earth,” the Planetary Society’s Jason Davis wrote earlier this year. “It’s possible that asteroids carried water and organic materials to Earth during the Late Heavy Bombardment. Understanding the timing and circumstances of this event is critical for unpacking our origin story.”
There is also a possibility, because the South Pole-Aitken basin is so deep, that the lunar mantle is exposed within it. If sediment from this layer were contained in the Chang’e-6 samples, scientists could uncover significant clues about the moon’s interior and origins.
“It’s a long shot, but it’s worth looking,” Ian Crawford, a planetary scientist at Birkbeck, University of London, tells the Guardian.
A number of countries—including the U.S., China and Russia—have been ramping up their planned exploration of, and human presence on, the lunar surface. The possibility for extraction of the moon’s untapped resources—and its location as a launching-off point toward Mars—remain incentives for nations to go to the moon.
1. What is the main achievement of the Chang’e-6 mission?
A. It successfully landed on the near side of the moon.
B. It retrieved rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon.
C. It established a lunar base for future missions.

在全球范围内,中国国家航天局(CNSA)首次成功地从月球背面取回了岩石和土壤样本,这一壮举将为科学家提供前所未有的机会,研究地球上从未见过的鲜为人知的月球表面。
周二,这些样本重新进入地球大气层,并通过降落伞降落在中国北方自治区内蒙古农村。它们被固定在一个从更大的航天器嫦娥六号上分离出来的返回舱中。整个任务是中国航天局嫦娥项目的第六站,持续了近两个月,标志着月球研究的一个里程碑。
“嫦娥六号是人类历史上第一次从月球远端返回样本的任务,”中国地质大学行星地质学家龙晓告诉《纽约时报》的卡特琳娜·米勒。“这对全世界的科学家来说是一件大事……全人类都应该庆祝。”
嫦娥六号于5月3日发射,由四个模块组成:上升器、轨道器、月球着陆器和返回舱。五天后,它到达了月球轨道,并在那里停留了几个星期。6月1日,着陆器成功下降并降落在月球最古老、最大的撞击坑,即南极艾特肯盆地。
这本身就是一项不小的壮举:在月球背面指挥航天器的运动是困难的,因为月球会阻挡来自地球的无线电信号。为了解决这个问题,中国国家航天局的工程师使用了在这次任务之前发射的两颗中继卫星“鹊桥”和“鹊桥二号”与航天器进行通信。
一旦登上月球,嫦娥六号就使用机械臂的铲子和钻头从撞击坑中收集了4.4磅的月球物质。与我们看到的月球表面相比,月球的背面有更厚的地壳,更少的被称为玛丽亚的古老熔岩平原,以及更多的撞击坑和碎片。
英国莱斯特大学的天体物理学家Martin Barstow告诉《卫报》的Ian Sample:“从远处回收样本在科学上非常令人兴奋,因为我们对那里的地质信息非常有限。”。“它的处理方式与面向我们的月球侧面非常不同,过去火山活动曾广泛地重新浮出月球表面,形成了大多数样本都是从中获得的玛丽亚。”
6月3日,在航天器的上升器中从月球表面发射的岩石集合,几天后与轨道器结合。它于6月21日开始了它的地球之旅,最终于本周抵达中国。
科学家们希望新获得的材料将为月球小行星撞击的历史提供明确的证据,这反过来又可以揭示对早期地球的影响。月球上大多数已知的盆地是在大约39亿年前,即所谓的晚期重轰炸时期,由一系列太空岩石形成的。天文学家说,撞击月球的小行星阵雨很可能也撞击了我们的家园星球。
行星学会的杰森·戴维斯今年早些时候写道:“这也对理解地球上生命的起源产生了影响。”。“在晚期重轰炸期间,小行星可能将水和有机物质带到了地球。了解这一事件的时间和情况对于解开我们的起源故事至关重要。”
还有一种可能性,因为南极艾特肯盆地太深,月球地幔暴露在其中。如果嫦娥六号样本中含有这一层的沉积物,科学家们可能会发现有关月球内部和起源的重要线索。
伦敦大学伯克贝克分校的行星科学家伊恩·克劳福德告诉《卫报》:“(尽管)它可能性不大,但却值得试一下。”。
包括美国、中国和俄罗斯在内的一些国家一直在加紧计划中的月球表面探索和人类活动。开采月球未开发资源的可能性及其作为火星发射点的位置仍然是各国登月的动力。

Extracting drinkable water from the moon
中国科学家:1吨月壤产水量可满足50人1天的饮水量 (214 words)
Making water on the moon 1 (use) lunar soil is a topic that attracts many scientists. The water content of the lunar soil is extremely low, 2 (range) from 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent. This makes 3 (extract) the water right there on the moon very difficult- but not impossible.
In the lunar soil samples (样本) 4 (bring) back by the Chang’e 5 1unar probe (探测器) in 2020, Chinese scientists found large amounts of hydrogen (氢) as a result of billions of years of 5 (expose) to solar winds.
When 6 (subject) to high temperatures, the hydrogen reacts with the soil, generating elemental iron (单质铁) along with water. If the temperature goes above 1,000 C, the soil will break down, 7 (release) the water as 8 (collect) vapor(蒸气).
Through this method, “1 ton of lunar regolith (表土) material can produce more than 50 kilograms of water,” Wang Jungiang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, 9 (tell) China Daily. That’s enough for 50 people to drink for one day.
The finding lays a foundation for China 10 (proceed) with its plan to build an international lunar research station. According to Xinhua, by 2035, a station with basic functions will be constructed near the moon’s south pole*.
难点分析
* 描述关于2035年在月球南极附近建造空间站的计划时,不同的时态和语态的使用上有所不同,这导致了它们在表达上的微妙差异。
“By 2035, we will have built a space station near the moon’s south pole.”
这句话使用了将来完成时(Future Perfect Tense),并采用了主动语态。它强调了到2035年为止,某个主体(这里暗指“我们”,可能是指中国或某个组织)将会完成空间站的建造工作。将来完成时的使用突出了动作的完成性和结果性,即强调了到那个时间点为止,空间站的建造工作将会全面完成。
“According to Xinhua, by 2035, a station with basic functions will be constructed near the moon’s south pole.”
这句话则使用了一般将来时(Simple Future Tense),并采用了被动语态。它报道了根据新华社的消息,到2035年为止,一个具有基本功能的空间站将会被建造在月球南极附近。这里并没有特别强调是哪个主体将完成这项工作,而是更侧重于报道一个将要发生的事件或计划。一般将来时的使用使得句子更加客观、中立,而被动语态则使得句子的焦点放在了动作的结果上,即空间站的建造。
在本质上,两句话都在描述同一个计划或事件,即2035年在月球南极附近建造空间站。但它们在时态和语态上的选择导致了它们在表达上的不同侧重点。第一句话更强调动作的完成性和主体性,而第二句话则更侧重于报道一个将要发生的客观事实。因此,虽然两句话在描述的内容上相似,但它们在时态和语态上的选择使得它们在表达上有所区别。这并不是说其中一句话在时态或语态上有误,而是根据作者的意图和语境的不同而做出的不同选择。

Passage 1
China's historic 23-day Chang'e 5 mission has not only obtained precious rock and soil samples from the moon, but has also brought back a group of seeds that traveled the furthest in the nation's agricultural and forestry histories. More than 30 kinds of seeds, including that of rice, oats etc., were placed inside the multi-module Chang'e 5 spacecraft and orbited around the moon for about 15 days.
Scientists wished to check what would happen to the seeds after being exposed to extraterrestrial (地外的) forces in lunar orbit and also hoped that they could develop beneficial mutations (突变). This mission offered good opportunities to scientists, which enabled them to deepen their studies on the effect of cosmic rays on the growth and evolution of life on Earth.
Space-based mutation breeding refers to the process of exposing seeds to forces such as microgravity, vacuums and cosmic radiation during a spaceflight and then sending them back to Earth for further observation and planting. Researchers observe and examine several generations of plants grown from space-bred seeds and investigate their mutations-some are positive and desirable while others are negative. Those with positive mutations will be kept and analyzed, and will be introduced to farmers after their certification and approval.
Space breeding can generate mutations faster and more conveniently than ground-based experiments and can bring about some desirable traits that are otherwise hard to introduce. Compared with natural or conventionally bred types of plants, space-developed versions with positive mutations usually feature higher nutritional content, greater annual yields, shorter growth periods and better resistance to diseases and insect pests.
China conducted its first space breeding experiment in 1987, using a satellite to carry seeds into space. Since then, hundreds of kinds of seeds and seedlings have traveled with dozens of Chinese spaceships. Space breeding has helped to produce more than 200 new types of mutated plants in China that have been approved for large-scale cultivation, ranging from grains to vegetables and fruits. The Chang'e 5 robotic mission returned 1,731 grams of lunar rock and soil to Earth, marking a historic accomplishment 44 years after the last lunar substances were taken back.
1.Why were the seeds placed inside Chang'e 5?
A.To pick out the fittest for mutations. B.To understand extraterrestrial forces.
C.To study the intensity of cosmic rays. D.To expose them to a special environment.
2.What do we know about space-based mutation breeding?
A.It is not a time-consuming process. B.Mutations develop in a random way.
C.It often brings about desirable effects. D.Approval will be granted to mutated plants.
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.It is a custom to put seedlings on a spacecraft.
B.China was the first to do a space breeding experiment.
C.It is some time since seeds were last taken into space.
D.Space breeding has brought us commercial benefits.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Space-bred Seeds Offer Great Chances B.Chang'e 5 Returns with a Big Package
C.Plant Mutations Result in a Better Life D.Seeds from Space Mark a New History

Passage 3
An exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器 ) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's unknown side never visible from Earth.
China's Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说 ) , was launched on May 21, 2018, and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.
The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth's and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can "see" both the earth and the far side of the moon.
The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.
Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星 ) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.
Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.
1.What do we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.
B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.
C.The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.
D.The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.
2.Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?
A.To reduce the cost as much as possible.
B.To make it circle Moon for a longer time.
C.To avoid being crashed by other satellites.
D.To follow American space experts' advice.’
3.What made researchers suffer from great stress?
A.Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.
B.The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.
C.Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.
D.People's never being optimistic about the relay satellite.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.China is a new space power after the USA.
B.Chang'e-4 probe lands on Moon's far side.
C.Chinese space engineers make much progress.
D.Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章报道了北京时间2019年1月3日10时26分,我国嫦娥四号探测器成功登陆月球背面,并通过“鹊桥”中继卫星传回了世界第一张近距离拍摄的月背影像图。

Passage 5
(24-25高二上·河南南阳·阶段练习)The Tianzhou 8 robotic cargo ship was launched on Friday night in Hainan province, becoming the last spacecraft to visit China’s Tiangong space station this year.
With the cargo vessel on top of it, a Long March 7 carrier rocket lifted off at 11:13 pm local time from a launch service tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center, according to the China Manned Space Agency.
After a short flight, the rocket placed the Tianzhou 8 into its preset low-Earth orbit and the solar wings on the cargo ship unfolded, marking the successful completion of the launch mission, the agency said.
The spacecraft is scheduled to approach and then dock with the space station’s Tianhe core module within three hours after its launch.
As the 15th spaceship to visit Tiangong, Tianzhou 8 is tasked with resupplying propellants (n. [航]推进剂) to the Chinese space station and delivering living and work necessities for the Shenzhou XIX astronauts, who have been in orbit for two weeks.
The materials inside the cargo vessel are sufficient to support a three-member crew for nine months, according to its designers at the China Academy of Space Technology.
Tianzhou 8’s predecessor, Tianzhou 7, was unlocked from the Tiangong space station on Sunday and started a period of solo flight.
It is programmed to fall back to Earth soon, and most of the spaceship will burn up during reentry, although a small amount of debris is expected to fall into secure areas in the South Pacific Ocean, according to the director Mr Ma from the space agency.
Orbiting Earth at a distance of around 400 kilometers, Tiangong has three permanent parts — a core module (n. [航天器的]舱) and two science capsules — and is regularly connected to several visiting crew and cargo spaceships.

Passage 6
China has made remarkable achievements in space exploration. The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA)aims to land its astronauts on the moon before 2030 and has recently shown the spacesuit they plan to use. However, the name of the suit is still up in the air.
As reported by Space News, the CMSA revealed their new extravehicular (舱外的)activity (EVA)spacesuit at an event on September 28 in Chongqing, China. The suit was modeled by Wang Yaping, China’s second woman in space, and Zhai Zhigang, another astronaut. The presentation mainly focused on the suit’s outer features. In particular, the new suit is slimmer and lighter than the CMSA’s earlier Feitian EVA suit used for low Earth orbit. It is covered in a protective fabric to guard against extreme temperatures and lunar dust. The suits also havea wide-ranging, non-reflective shield (防护)and both short and long focus length cameras. Unlike the earlier suits, these lunar suits allow for much more flexibility while moving on the moon.
Apart from the practicalities, representatives explained that aesthetics (美学)were also important during the design phase. The appearance of the new spacesuit was emphasized. According to CNN, the mainly white spacesuits have red stripes on their upper parts inspired by the “flying apsaras” from ancient Chinese art. “The stripes on the legs are designed to look like ‘rocket launch flames,’ representing a strong-willed and determined spirit, and that’s the key.” as Zhang Wanxin, director of the CMSA’s engineering office, told China’s CCTV. This weekend’s announcement also saw the CMSA officials task the nation with helping name the new suits, which will be chosen later.
This not only shows China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reflects its cultural pride and rapid advances in science and technology. By integrating traditional Chinese cultural elements into modern technology, China showcases its unique charm and great power to the world. Meanwhile, the public naming initiative encourages citizens to engage with the space program, creating a closer link between the space and the people.
1.What is one advantage of the new spacesuit?
A.It is more user-friendly. B.It is more cost- effective.
C.It is more pressure-resistant. D.It is more dust-proof.
2.Why is the appearance emphasized in the new design?
A.To follow the international trend. B.To adjust the lunar environment.
C.To highlight Chinese cultural elements. D.To downplay the aesthetic value.
3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The technical descriptions of the new spacesuits.
B.The cultural pride behind China’s space exploration.
C.The future prospect of the China Manned Space Agency.
D.The international development in space technology.
4.What is the writing purpose of the text?
A.To report China’s exploration progress and new spacesuit.
B.To introduce the manufacturing process of new spacesuit of the CMSA.
C.To involve more people in the public naming initiative.
D.To summarize China’s significant achievement.

Passage 1
A 24-year-old female space commander(指挥员) Zhou Chengyu has been a heated topic on Weibo since Chinese state media highlighted her as one of the women involved in the successful launch of the Chang'e-5 lunar probe(月球探测器) on 23 November. Social media users have been referring to her as a "source of pride" for the country. 1 Several people jokingly reflected on their own achievements, commenting how far behind in life they were in comparison.
Starting in 2004, the Chang'e Programme consists of three stages of "orbiting", "landing" and "returning". 2 In December 2013, the goal of China's first soft landing on the lunar surface and ground exploration on the Moon was achieved by the lander and Yutu Lunar Rover of Chang'e-3. Last year, Chang'e-4 probe made the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon.
The Chang'e-5 mission is China's third successful Moon landing in seven years. 3 If successful, China would be the third country to bring lunar samples back to Earth after the United States and the Soviet Union.
Most Chinese know the story of the mythological Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the moon. People can't hear the word "Chang'e" without picturing romantic images of a moon goddess. 4 And so pictures of Zhou Chengyu have been all over state media, with comments about how she is a "front-line soldier in the field of aerospace" and a "big sister" that young Chinese can look up to.
However, the huge amount of interest in the Guizhou Province native has not appeared to have had much of an effect on her. 5
A.Her story in particular has inspired the public, considering her young age.
B.She refused repeated requests for interviews in order to focus on her work.
C.However, China has been trying to highlight strong female figures in the country.
D.Despite her young age, Zhou is now working at Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site.
E.Its aim is to gather lunar rocks and soil to help scientists learn more about the moon.
F.For this reason, China's mission to the moon was calling out for a strong female figure(女性形象).
G.China completed the "orbiting" phase by launching Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 lunar probes in 2007 and 2010.

China Brings Samples From the Moon’s Far Side to Earth in First-Ever Feat
(文章来源:Smith Sonian Mag)
In a global first, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has successfully retrieved rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon, a feat that will offer scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study the lesser-understood lunar face that is never visible from Earth.
The samples re-entered Earth’s atmosphere on Tuesday and landed via parachute in rural Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region in northern China. They were secured in a re-entry capsule that detached from a larger spacecraft, called Chang’e-6. The entire mission, the sixth leg of the Chinese space agency’s Chang’e project, lasted nearly two months and marked a milestone for lunar research.
“Chang’e-6 is the first mission in human history to return samples from the far side of the moon,” Long Xiao, a planetary geologist at China University of Geosciences, tells the New York Times’ Katrina Miller. “This is a major event for scientists worldwide… a cause for celebration for all humanity.”
Launched on May 3, the Chang’e-6 spacecraft consisted of four modules: an ascender, an orbiter, a lunar lander and a return capsule. It reached lunar orbit five days later, where it remained for several weeks. On June 1, the lander successfully descended and touched down on the far side of the moon in its oldest and largest impact crater, known as the South Pole-Aitken basin.
This itself was no small feat: Directing the movement of a spacecraft on the far side of the moon is difficult, because the moon blocks radio signals from Earth. To get around this problem, CNSA engineers used two relay satellites, Queqiao and Queqiao-2, launched ahead of this mission, to communicate with the spacecraft.
Once on the moon, Chang’e-6 used a robotic arm’s scoop and drill to collect 4.4 pounds of lunar material from impact crater. Compared to the lunar face we can see, the far side of the moon has a thicker crust, fewer ancient lava plains called maria and a greater number of craters and debris from collisions.
“Recovering samples from the far side is tremendously exciting scientifically, as we only have very limited information on the geology there,” Martin Barstow, an astrophysicist at the University of Leicester in England, tells the Guardian’s Ian Sample. “It has been processed very differently to the side of the moon facing us, which has been extensively resurfaced by volcanic activity in the past, creating the maria from which most samples have been obtained.”
The collection of rocks launched from the lunar surface in the spacecraft’s ascender on June 3, then united with the orbiter days later. It began its Earth-bound journey on June 21, culminating in its arrival to China this week.
Scientists hope the newly secured material will offer clear evidence of the history of lunar asteroid impacts, which could, in turn, shed light on impacts to the early Earth. Most known basins on the moon formed from a barrage of space rocks some 3.9 billion years ago, during a period known as the Late Heavy Bombardment. It is likely, astronomers say, that asteroid showers that hit the moon also hit our home planet.
“This also has implications for understanding the origins of life on Earth,” the Planetary Society’s Jason Davis wrote earlier this year. “It’s possible that asteroids carried water and organic materials to Earth during the Late Heavy Bombardment. Understanding the timing and circumstances of this event is critical for unpacking our origin story.”
There is also a possibility, because the South Pole-Aitken basin is so deep, that the lunar mantle is exposed within it. If sediment from this layer were contained in the Chang’e-6 samples, scientists could uncover significant clues about the moon’s interior and origins.
“It’s a long shot, but it’s worth looking,” Ian Crawford, a planetary scientist at Birkbeck, University of London, tells the Guardian.
A number of countries—including the U.S., China and Russia—have been ramping up their planned exploration of, and human presence on, the lunar surface. The possibility for extraction of the moon’s untapped resources—and its location as a launching-off point toward Mars—remain incentives for nations to go to the moon.

【参考译文】
中国首次将月球背面的样本带回地球
在全球范围内,中国国家航天局(CNSA)首次成功地从月球背面取回了岩石和土壤样本,这一壮举将为科学家提供前所未有的机会,研究地球上从未见过的鲜为人知的月球表面。
周二,这些样本重新进入地球大气层,并通过降落伞降落在中国北方自治区内蒙古农村。它们被固定在一个从更大的航天器嫦娥六号上分离出来的返回舱中。整个任务是中国航天局嫦娥项目的第六站,持续了近两个月,标志着月球研究的一个里程碑。
“嫦娥六号是人类历史上第一次从月球远端返回样本的任务,”中国地质大学行星地质学家龙晓告诉《纽约时报》的卡特琳娜·米勒。“这对全世界的科学家来说是一件大事……全人类都应该庆祝。”
嫦娥六号于5月3日发射,由四个模块组成:上升器、轨道器、月球着陆器和返回舱。五天后,它到达了月球轨道,并在那里停留了几个星期。6月1日,着陆器成功下降并降落在月球最古老、最大的撞击坑,即南极艾特肯盆地。
这本身就是一项不小的壮举:在月球背面指挥航天器的运动是困难的,因为月球会阻挡来自地球的无线电信号。为了解决这个问题,中国国家航天局的工程师使用了在这次任务之前发射的两颗中继卫星“鹊桥”和“鹊桥二号”与航天器进行通信。
一旦登上月球,嫦娥六号就使用机械臂的铲子和钻头从撞击坑中收集了4.4磅的月球物质。与我们看到的月球表面相比,月球的背面有更厚的地壳,更少的被称为玛丽亚的古老熔岩平原,以及更多的撞击坑和碎片。
英国莱斯特大学的天体物理学家Martin Barstow告诉《卫报》的Ian Sample:“从远处回收样本在科学上非常令人兴奋,因为我们对那里的地质信息非常有限。”。“它的处理方式与面向我们的月球侧面非常不同,过去火山活动曾广泛地重新浮出月球表面,形成了大多数样本都是从中获得的玛丽亚。”
6月3日,在航天器的上升器中从月球表面发射的岩石集合,几天后与轨道器结合。它于6月21日开始了它的地球之旅,最终于本周抵达中国。
科学家们希望新获得的材料将为月球小行星撞击的历史提供明确的证据,这反过来又可以揭示对早期地球的影响。月球上大多数已知的盆地是在大约39亿年前,即所谓的晚期重轰炸时期,由一系列太空岩石形成的。天文学家说,撞击月球的小行星阵雨很可能也撞击了我们的家园星球。
行星学会的杰森·戴维斯今年早些时候写道:“这也对理解地球上生命的起源产生了影响。”。“在晚期重轰炸期间,小行星可能将水和有机物质带到了地球。了解这一事件的时间和情况对于解开我们的起源故事至关重要。”
还有一种可能性,因为南极艾特肯盆地太深,月球地幔暴露在其中。如果嫦娥六号样本中含有这一层的沉积物,科学家们可能会发现有关月球内部和起源的重要线索。
伦敦大学伯克贝克分校的行星科学家伊恩·克劳福德告诉《卫报》:“(尽管)它可能性不大,但却值得试一下。”。
包括美国、中国和俄罗斯在内的一些国家一直在加紧计划中的月球表面探索和人类活动。开采月球未开发资源的可能性及其作为火星发射点的位置仍然是各国登月的动力。

Extracting drinkable water from the moon
中国科学家:1吨月壤产水量可满足50人1天的饮水量 (214 words)
Making water on the moon 1 (use) lunar soil is a topic that attracts many scientists. The water content of the lunar soil is extremely low, 2 (range) from 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent. This makes 3 (extract) the water right there on the moon very difficult- but not impossible.
In the lunar soil samples (样本) 4 (bring) back by the Chang’e 5 1unar probe (探测器) in 2020, Chinese scientists found large amounts of hydrogen (氢) as a result of billions of years of 5 (expose) to solar winds.
When 6 (subject) to high temperatures, the hydrogen reacts with the soil, generating elemental iron (单质铁) along with water. If the temperature goes above 1,000 C, the soil will break down, 7 (release) the water as 8 (collect) vapor(蒸气).
Through this method, “1 ton of lunar regolith (表土) material can produce more than 50 kilograms of water,” Wang Jungiang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, 9 (tell) China Daily. That’s enough for 50 people to drink for one day.
The finding lays a foundation for China 10 (proceed) with its plan to build an international lunar research station. According to Xinhua, by 2035, a station with basic functions will be constructed near the moon’s south pole*.
1、答案 using ranging extracting brought exposure subjected releasing collectible told to proceed
难点分析
* 描述关于2035年在月球南极附近建造空间站的计划时,不同的时态和语态的使用上有所不同,这导致了它们在表达上的微妙差异。
“By 2035, we will have built a space station near the moon’s south pole.”
这句话使用了将来完成时(Future Perfect Tense),并采用了主动语态。它强调了到2035年为止,某个主体(这里暗指“我们”,可能是指中国或某个组织)将会完成空间站的建造工作。将来完成时的使用突出了动作的完成性和结果性,即强调了到那个时间点为止,空间站的建造工作将会全面完成。
“According to Xinhua, by 2035, a station with basic functions will be constructed near the moon’s south pole.”
这句话则使用了一般将来时(Simple Future Tense),并采用了被动语态。它报道了根据新华社的消息,到2035年为止,一个具有基本功能的空间站将会被建造在月球南极附近。这里并没有特别强调是哪个主体将完成这项工作,而是更侧重于报道一个将要发生的事件或计划。一般将来时的使用使得句子更加客观、中立,而被动语态则使得句子的焦点放在了动作的结果上,即空间站的建造。
在本质上,两句话都在描述同一个计划或事件,即2035年在月球南极附近建造空间站。但它们在时态和语态上的选择导致了它们在表达上的不同侧重点。第一句话更强调动作的完成性和主体性,而第二句话则更侧重于报道一个将要发生的客观事实。因此,虽然两句话在描述的内容上相似,但它们在时态和语态上的选择使得它们在表达上有所区别。这并不是说其中一句话在时态或语态上有误,而是根据作者的意图和语境的不同而做出的不同选择。
