Zhang Keke, director of the Macau Institute of Space Technology and Application, said that Mars could become a planet which is suitable for humans to live on with the help of AI. “Mars used to have water and an environment just like the earth. I believe in the future humans could improve the environment on Mars through AI technology, making it have air and water again, so that humans can live there,” Zhang said. “It may not be science fiction. If this happens, it will solve many troubles faced by humans, such as the shortage of land. That is why humans have been exploring the moon and other planets for many years.” All kinds of ideas have been come up with by many scientists to recreate the magnetic field (磁场) of Mars. When there is a magnetic field, it acts like an umbrella and stops solar wind, allowing the environment to become suitable for the development of water, air and human life. Actually, China is already on this way. Tianwen-1 probe landed on Mars as early as 2021. This was the first time that China has carried out an exploration of the magnetic field on Mars. “China’s exploring of Mars will be further sped up with the development of AI,” Zhang said. “In 2028, China will launch a second spacecraft called Tianwen-3, which will take samples (样本) from Mars and bring them back to the earth. So I feel that with powerful tools like AI and machine learning methods, humans will greatly increase the speed of exploration of resources on Mars, and especially on the moon, in the future.” 1．What were the experts excited about at the year’s Boao Forum for Asia? A．The potential of AI. B．The finding of air and water on Mars. C．The launch of Tianwen-3. D．The improvement of the environment. 2．In Zhang’s opinion, what is the main purpose of using AI in Mars exploration? A．To find life on Mars. B．To bring back water from Mars. C．To achieve the goal of landing on Mars. D．To create an earth-like living environment. 3．Why do we need to recreate the magnetic field of Mars? A．It can create more land. B．It can collect more sunlight. C．It can reduce the bad weather. D．It can help humans live on Mars. 4．What’s Zhang’s attitude towards AI in space exploration? A．Shocked. B．Worried. C．Confident. D．Doubtful. 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．AI shows science fiction. B．AI will help humans explore Mars. C．Mars is suitable for humans. D．Humans will recreate the magnetic field. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了博鳌亚洲论坛上专家讨论了人工智能在改造火星使其适合人类居住方面的潜力，以及中国在火星探索上已经和即将开展的行动，并展望了未来人工智能加速太空资源探索的前景。 1．细节理解题。根据“At the year’s Boao Forum for Asia (博鳌亚洲论坛), experts expressed excitement about the potential (潜力) of AI.”可知，专家们兴奋地谈论了人工智能的潜力。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“I believe in the future humans could improve the environment on Mars through AI technology, making it have air and water again, so that humans can live there,”及“If this happens, it will solve many troubles faced by humans, such as the shortage of land.

Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to live. “Once we spread out into space and build independent colonies (殖民地), our future should be safe,” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment, ★ Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about-60 °C． One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe. Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1, 200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano (火山) and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest problems was feeling bored. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together. One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030. However, many experts think the project’s cost of $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about $100 billion, although this estimate (估价) is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Anyway, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe. 1．Paragraph 1 mainly focuses on ________. A．how we can move to another planet B．why we work on moving to Mars C．when we will move to Mars D．what the location of Mars is 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．However, scientists need to terraform Mars for people to live B．And lots of scientists are trying to send the people to Mars. C．But scientists can’t do anything about accurately studying Mars. D．However, it is not easy for human beings to move to Mars 3．According to paragraph 3, scientists care about ________. A．the cost of moving to Mars to live B．the energy on Mars C．the physical and mental health of people D．the food on Mars 4．The underlined word “them” refers to ________. A．humans B．experts C．planets D．costs 5．What does the author think about living to Mars? A．Living on Mars is boring but good B．It is too costly to send humans to Mars C．Humans’ health will be greatly affected D．Moving to Mars is expected in the near future. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对未来人类移民火星的一些设想和担忧。 1．主旨大意题。通读第一段可知，本段主要讲述人类移民火星的原因。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s.”可知，此处引出Terraforming一词，所以A项正确。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body.”可知，科学家们关注的另一大问题是，人类能否前往火星，并保持身心健康。故选C。 4．词句猜测题，根据“NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about $100 billion, although this estimate (估价) is based on bringing them back to Earth, too.”可知，美国国家航空航天局认为，将人们送上火星将花费约1000亿美元，尽管这一估价也是基于将他们带回地球，所以划线词指代前面的“people”，所以A项符合。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“Once we spread out into space and build independent colonies (殖民地), our future should be safe,”可知，移民火星对人类有好处。故选D。 月球探索 文章 1 JIUQUAN SATELLITE LAUNCH CENTER, China sends off its youngest-ever team for its space station on Thursday. It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030. The China Manned Space Agency said the average (平均的) age of the three-member team is the youngest since the launch of the space station. Their average age is 38, state media China Daily said. The three astronauts are Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin. They will replace a team that has been on the station for six months. The new team will perform experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay. And they will help to place and do possible repairs to equipment (设备) inside and outside the station. In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the US led International Space Station. The Americans worried that the Chinese space program was under the control of the People’s Liberation Army. China’s first manned space mission (任务) in 2003 made it the third country after the former Soviet Union and the US to put a person into space using its own resources. This is an important step in exploring space, which makes all Chinese people proud. Although the American space program is believed to be far ahead of China at this time, China has made some important steps. They include bringing back samples (样本) from the moon’s surface for the first time and landing a vehicle (运载工具) on the less explored far side of the moon. The US, meanwhile, aims to put astronauts back on the moon’s surface by the end of 2025. Beyond their moon exploration programs, the two countries have achieved significant milestones in space exploration by independently (独立地) landing vehicles on the surface of Mars. China now plans to follow the US in landing a spacecraft on an asteroid (小行星). It shows China’s determination to become a leader in this competitive field. All Chinese people are full of expectations for the future development of exploring the universe. 1．When does China plan to put astronauts on the moon? A．Before 2030. B．Before 2025. C．Before 2040. D．Before 2050. 2．What can we learn about the three astronauts? A．They stayed at the station for six months. B．They will do experiments in different areas. C．They are the youngest astronauts at the age of 38. D．They will use the equipment to repair the station. 3．Why did China build its own space station? A．Because China was controlled by the American space program. B．Because China wanted to challenge the US in space exploration. C．Because China wanted to have control over American space program. D．Because China was not allowed to join the International Space Station. 4．Which is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．China lands a vehicle on the far side of the moon. B．China brings back samples from the moon’s surface. C．China has taken important steps in space exploration. D．China will put astronauts on the moon’s surface before 2030. 5．What have both the US and China achieved in their space programs? A．They landed vehicles on Mars independently. B．They built a joint International Space Station. C．They landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. D．They launched their first manned space missions. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国计划在2030年前将宇航员送上月球，并介绍了中国自己建立太空站的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030.”可知中国计划在2030年之前把宇航员送上月球。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“The new team will perform experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay.”可知新的团队将在不同的领域进行实验。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the US led International Space Station.”可知因为中国没有被允许加入美国领导的国际空间站，所以中国建了自己的空间站。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据“China has made some important steps”可知本段主要讲述了中国在太空探索方面取得的进展。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“Beyond their moon exploration programs, the two countries have achieved significant milestones in space exploration by independently (独立地) landing vehicles on the surface of Mars.”可知中国和美国已经都独立地在火星上着陆了飞行器。故选A。 文章 2 So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e-1. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 1．In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ①old stories                            ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people                  ④popular inventions A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．What do we know about Chang’e-1 according to the passage? A．It moves around the moon. B．It protects the Jade Rabbit. C．It “visits” the sun with the scientists. D．It is the world’s first man-made satellite. 3．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By giving an example. D．By reporting a result. 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B．To explain how our scientists develop the space industry. C．To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. D．To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了嫦娥一号， “玉兔号”月球车， “墨子号”空间量子科学实验卫星与中国传统文化之间的渊源，表明了传统文化对我国太空技术的深远影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.”可知，中国的太空科学家在命名卫星时从“古老的故事”和“古代名人”中获得启发。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e-1.”可知，嫦娥一号绕月运行。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time…”可知，在第四段中，作者通过举例子来支持自己的观点。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.”并通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了中国太空技术与中国传统文化之间的渊源，中国传统文化影响着我国的太空技术。故选D。 中国载人航天 文章 1 The Shenzhou XIX spaceship set off from Jiuquan at 4:27 a. m. on Wednesday.

If humans want to stay on the moon for long in the future, there will be a need for a source (来源) of food. It’s really a challenge, but scientists are taking steps toward making moon farming possible. Now Chinese researchers said that they had found a way to make moon soil (土壤) used for farming by introducing Earth bacteria (细菌). Researchers from China tested five kinds of bacteria. They found during a period of 10 to 21 days, three of them doubled phosphorus content (磷含量), which is necessary for the growth of plants. In the next step of the study, the researchers grew model plants in man-made moon soil with the three kinds of bacteria for 24 days. They discovered that the plants had longer stems and roots (茎和根) after six days, and heavier and wider leaves after 24 days, compared with those grown without the bacteria. Besides, in another 24-day test, scientists found that plants with those bacteria had more chlorophyll (叶绿素), which helps plants use energy from light to grow. China has made a plan for landing astronauts on the moon before 2030 to do scientific study. As astronauts need to live on the moon for a long time, bringing all food to the moon will cost a lot of money. Growing plants there will be helpful. However, earlier tests showed that moon soil is bad for growing plants. Many people began to feel hopeless. But this test offers them a good possible pick-me-up. 1．Chinese researches are taking steps towards ________. ①growing plants in sun soil     ②making moon farming possible ③growing plants on the moon     ④bringing food to the moon A．①③ B．②③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．What do you know about Earth bacteria? A．It is necessary for the growth of plants on the earth. B．It causes plants to have more chlorophyll. C．It makes the stems and roots of plants shorter. D．It needs 24 days to double the weight of leaves. 3．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3? A．By giving an example. B．By using sayings. C．By comparing facts.

Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Change Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’ e l. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence (影响) it has on our modern science and technology. 1．In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ① old stories    ②traditional projects    ③ancient famous people    ④popular inventions A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．What do we know about Chang’e I according to the text?

Zhang Keke, director of the Macau Institute of Space Technology and Application, said that Mars could become a planet which is suitable for humans to live on with the help of AI. “Mars used to have water and an environment just like the earth. I believe in the future humans could improve the environment on Mars through AI technology, making it have air and water again, so that humans can live there,” Zhang said. “It may not be science fiction. If this happens, it will solve many troubles faced by humans, such as the shortage of land. That is why humans have been exploring the moon and other planets for many years.” All kinds of ideas have been come up with by many scientists to recreate the magnetic field (磁场) of Mars. When there is a magnetic field, it acts like an umbrella and stops solar wind, allowing the environment to become suitable for the development of water, air and human life. Actually, China is already on this way. Tianwen-1 probe landed on Mars as early as 2021. This was the first time that China has carried out an exploration of the magnetic field on Mars. “China’s exploring of Mars will be further sped up with the development of AI,” Zhang said. “In 2028, China will launch a second spacecraft called Tianwen-3, which will take samples (样本) from Mars and bring them back to the earth. So I feel that with powerful tools like AI and machine learning methods, humans will greatly increase the speed of exploration of resources on Mars, and especially on the moon, in the future.” 1．What were the experts excited about at the year’s Boao Forum for Asia? A．The potential of AI. B．The finding of air and water on Mars. C．The launch of Tianwen-3. D．The improvement of the environment. 2．In Zhang’s opinion, what is the main purpose of using AI in Mars exploration? A．To find life on Mars. B．To bring back water from Mars. C．To achieve the goal of landing on Mars. D．To create an earth-like living environment. 3．Why do we need to recreate the magnetic field of Mars? A．It can create more land. B．It can collect more sunlight. C．It can reduce the bad weather. D．It can help humans live on Mars. 4．What’s Zhang’s attitude towards AI in space exploration? A．Shocked. B．Worried. C．Confident. D．Doubtful. 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．AI shows science fiction. B．AI will help humans explore Mars. C．Mars is suitable for humans. D．Humans will recreate the magnetic field. 文章 2 Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to live. “Once we spread out into space and build independent colonies (殖民地), our future should be safe,” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment, ★ Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about-60 °C． One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe. Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1, 200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano (火山) and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest problems was feeling bored. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together. One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030. However, many experts think the project’s cost of $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about $100 billion, although this estimate (估价) is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Anyway, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe. 1．Paragraph 1 mainly focuses on ________. A．how we can move to another planet B．why we work on moving to Mars C．when we will move to Mars D．what the location of Mars is 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ?

It is part of the country’s plan to put astronauts on the moon before 2030. The China Manned Space Agency said the average (平均的) age of the three-member team is the youngest since the launch of the space station. Their average age is 38, state media China Daily said. The three astronauts are Tang Hongbo, Tang Shengjie and Jiang Xinlin. They will replace a team that has been on the station for six months. The new team will perform experiments in space medicine, space technology and other areas during their stay. And they will help to place and do possible repairs to equipment (设备) inside and outside the station. In 2022, the Chinese government built its own space station after it was not permitted to join the US led International Space Station. The Americans worried that the Chinese space program was under the control of the People’s Liberation Army. China’s first manned space mission (任务) in 2003 made it the third country after the former Soviet Union and the US to put a person into space using its own resources. This is an important step in exploring space, which makes all Chinese people proud. Although the American space program is believed to be far ahead of China at this time, China has made some important steps. They include bringing back samples (样本) from the moon’s surface for the first time and landing a vehicle (运载工具) on the less explored far side of the moon. The US, meanwhile, aims to put astronauts back on the moon’s surface by the end of 2025. Beyond their moon exploration programs, the two countries have achieved significant milestones in space exploration by independently (独立地) landing vehicles on the surface of Mars. China now plans to follow the US in landing a spacecraft on an asteroid (小行星). It shows China’s determination to become a leader in this competitive field. All Chinese people are full of expectations for the future development of exploring the universe. 1．When does China plan to put astronauts on the moon? A．Before 2030. B．Before 2025. C．Before 2040. D．Before 2050. 2．What can we learn about the three astronauts? A．They stayed at the station for six months. B．They will do experiments in different areas. C．They are the youngest astronauts at the age of 38. D．They will use the equipment to repair the station. 3．Why did China build its own space station? A．Because China was controlled by the American space program. B．Because China wanted to challenge the US in space exploration. C．Because China wanted to have control over American space program. D．Because China was not allowed to join the International Space Station. 4．Which is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A．China lands a vehicle on the far side of the moon. B．China brings back samples from the moon’s surface. C．China has taken important steps in space exploration. D．China will put astronauts on the moon’s surface before 2030. 5．What have both the US and China achieved in their space programs? A．They landed vehicles on Mars independently. B．They built a joint International Space Station. C．They landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. D．They launched their first manned space missions. 文章 2 So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e-1. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. 1．In China, space scientists get ideas from ________ when naming satellites. ①old stories                            ②traditional projects ③ancient famous people                  ④popular inventions A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．What do we know about Chang’e-1 according to the passage? A．It moves around the moon. B．It protects the Jade Rabbit. C．It “visits” the sun with the scientists. D．It is the world’s first man-made satellite. 3．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 4? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By giving an example. D．By reporting a result. 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To spread the traditional Chinese culture. B．To explain how our scientists develop the space industry. C．To introduce the achievements in our science and technology. D．To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science. 中国载人航天 文章 1 The Shenzhou XIX spaceship set off from Jiuquan at 4:27 a. m. on Wednesday. This is the fourth manned mission (任务) during the space station’ s development phase (阶段). There are three members in the spaceship, including Cai Xuzhe who returned from the earlier Shenzhou XIV mission, and two young new astronauts, Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, both born in the 1990s. Wang is not only the third female Chinese astronaut, and also a pioneering spaceflight engineer. It took 6.5 hours to arrive. The Shenzhou XIX members spent nearly two hours in preparing to enter the space station. After all preparations were done, they were all welcomed with hugs by the Shenzhou XVIII astronauts at 12:51 p. m. The six astronauts then exchanged greetings. Ye said he and his team were very happy and excited to see the arrival of Cai’s team, adding that over the next few days, the two teams would work together inside “this space home”. In the next few months, the Shenzhou XIX team will do 86 science and technology experiments, from trying to grow plants in space to the study of genetics (遗传学). Perhaps the most interesting is the “space farm”: Cai may pick up his lettuce-growing project from two years ago, while Song plans to grow sweet potatoes. They will also research fruit flies. We can find them in about 75 percent of human disease genes (基因). As Shenzhou XIX started a six-month journey in the space, let’s wish its members success and safety.

On the evening of November 29, Shenzhou XV was successfully launched (发射) from Jiuquan Center. Shenzhou XV is of great meaning for Chinese space work and made some great achievements at were never seen before. ②The first was the huge number of jobs Shenzhou XV’s astronauts will finish. They will do more than 40 science experiments in fields such as air medicine, and air technology, which is amazing in humans’ space history. ③With the arrival of Shenzhou XV, Tiangong Space Station has finally developed into its largest size weighing around 100,000 kg. It is one of the largest buildings that humans have ever built in space. ④The space station is made up of 5 different parts. The Tianhe module (舱) is working in the center of the station. The Wentian and Mengtian modules are on the left and right sides of Tianhe. The Shenzhou spaceships are on the top of the station. The last one, the Tianzhou V is under the Tianhe module. ⑤The astronauts of Shenzhou XV are also different from the past. Usually, the new groups of astronauts were sent into space after the early ones went back to the earth. But this time, the two groups of astronauts met in the space. Worldwide, there are now a total of 13 astronauts in space. So, for the time being, China is the country with most people in the space. ⑥The other thing about them is that the age of the Shenzhou XV’s astronauts is the oldest of history (over 53). Among them, 56-year-old Deng Qingming was one of the earliest 14 astronauts in China. He served as a backup astronaut four times and watched his teammates fly again and again, but he never gave up the dream to fly. Now he made it, although it took some time. ⑦The launch of Shenzhou-15 is a historic moment for Chinese space-exploring plan. Chinese people will always let imagination about the sky run wild. 1．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of Tiangong Space Station?

C．To ask teenagers to work hard and become astronauts. D．To tell it is difficult to build such a great space station. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Shenzhou XV is very meaningful for Chinese space work. B．Tiangong Space Station is the largest building built in space. C．Deng Qingming still hasn’t gotten the chance to fly in space. D．Chinese will stop their plans to explore the space. 4．The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． 太空旅行 文章 1 There’s some really exciting news in the space travel area in China. For the first time in our country, tickets are on sale for a space trip in 2027. Each ticket costs 1.5 million yuan. The company that’s doing this is Deep Blue Aerospace. The spaceship is about 4 meters high and 3.5 meters across. The cabin (机舱) has 6 big windows and can hold 6 passengers. It will be carried by a special rocket. This rocket can be used many times and it's for sending small satellites (卫星) into space. When the spacecraft takes off, it will go past the Karman Line. The Karman Line is 100 kilometers high. Passengers can feel weightless for at least 4 minutes. The whole trip is about 12 minutes. For safety, the spacecraft and the rocket have different ways to keep safe. The rocket has hundreds of tests before it flies. The cabin has engines (发动机) at the edge (边缘) and a parachute (降落伞) on top. It can get away if there’s a problem. When it lands, it uses a parachute like the ones on the Shenzhou spacecraft. There’s also something like an airbag to be safe. The pre-sale (预售) on October 24th, 2024 was a great success as two tickets were quickly sold out in the Taobao live show. Deep Blue Aerospace plans to sell more space travel tickets next month.

If humans want to stay on the moon for long in the future, there will be a need for a source (来源) of food. It’s really a challenge, but scientists are taking steps toward making moon farming possible. Now Chinese researchers said that they had found a way to make moon soil (土壤) used for farming by introducing Earth bacteria (细菌). Researchers from China tested five kinds of bacteria. They found during a period of 10 to 21 days, three of them doubled phosphorus content (磷含量), which is necessary for the growth of plants. In the next step of the study, the researchers grew model plants in man-made moon soil with the three kinds of bacteria for 24 days. They discovered that the plants had longer stems and roots (茎和根) after six days, and heavier and wider leaves after 24 days, compared with those grown without the bacteria. Besides, in another 24-day test, scientists found that plants with those bacteria had more chlorophyll (叶绿素), which helps plants use energy from light to grow. China has made a plan for landing astronauts on the moon before 2030 to do scientific study. As astronauts need to live on the moon for a long time, bringing all food to the moon will cost a lot of money. Growing plants there will be helpful. However, earlier tests showed that moon soil is bad for growing plants. Many people began to feel hopeless. But this test offers them a good possible pick-me-up. 1．Chinese researches are taking steps towards ________. ①growing plants in sun soil     ②making moon farming possible ③growing plants on the moon     ④bringing food to the moon A．①③ B．②③ C．②④ D．③④ 2．What do you know about Earth bacteria? A．It is necessary for the growth of plants on the earth. B．It causes plants to have more chlorophyll. C．It makes the stems and roots of plants shorter. D．It needs 24 days to double the weight of leaves. 3．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3? A．By giving an example. B．By using sayings. C．By comparing facts. D．By setting a question. 4．Which is the right structure of the passage? （①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2,…） A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To show how Chinese researchers invented Earth bacteria. B．To explain why plants can be grown on moon soil. C．To introduce tests about making moon soil used for moon farming. D．To make a plan for landing astronauts on the moon before 2030. So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites and spaceships in-to space.

Early on Wednesday morning, a big rocket called Long March -2F Y19 took off from Jiuquan in Northwest China. It carried three astronauts on a trip to the China Space Station. After about 10 minutes, the Shenzhou -19 spacecraft separated from the rocket and entered its designated orbit (轨道). This meant the launch was a success! The China Space Station will welcome the new Shenzhou -19 crew, led by experienced astronaut Cai Xuze and newcomers Song Lingdong and female astronaut Wang Haoze, about 6.5 hours after takeoff. Commander (指令长) Cai is going back to space just 22 months after his last trip, which is a record for the shortest time between missions in the history of Chinese astronauts. Song and Wang, both born in 1990, are on their first space mission. Wang is also China’s first female spaceflight engineer. This is the fourth time that astronauts have flown to the space station to work and do experiments, and it’s the 33rd mission in China’s manned space program. The main tasks include switching crews with the Shenzhou -18 astronauts, staying on the station for six months, doing space experiments, going outside the spacecraft and managing cargo (货物) and so on. After launch, Shenzhou -19 will connect to the Tianhe module of the space station about 6.5 hours later. During their stay, they will get supplies from the Tianzhou -8 cargo spacecraft and be visited by the Shenzhou -20 crew. They will come back to Earth in late April or early May. The Shenzhou-18 crew will return to Earth on November 4 after the new crew arrives. For this mission, the developers made the Shenzhou -19 spacecraft better by improving its design, so it can carry more supplies.

China’s Tiangong space station is well-known for its role in space exploration and scientific research. How much do you know about the lives of astronauts working on the space station? For astronauts in space, exercise is important. The environment is very different in space. Doing sports can help astronauts stay healthy. How do they exercise? There is a spin bike (动感单车), a running machine, and other fitness equipment on the space station. The equipment makes it easy for astronauts to exercise. Astronauts live in a weightless environment, so they cannot take showers as they do on Earth. They have to find different ways to keep clean. The Tiangong space station has a special bathroom. In this bathroom, they use wet towels (毛巾) to clean themselves. How is the diet of astronauts on the Tiangong space station? They can have bread and porridge for breakfast. There are also traditional Chinese dishes, like Kung Pao Chicken, fried rice and fried noodles with pork. There is a special “fridge” to store the food. It’s made of “aerogel (气凝胶)”. The food stays cool and fresh in it. It can be a challenge for astronauts to be away from family for a long time. How do they connect with their family? There is special communication equipment. Astronauts can have personal “sky-to-earth” calls. When the astronauts wear ear phones, they can communicate freely moving around the station. Astronauts on the Tiangong space station work and explore in space. They help us learn about space and the universe. 1．In Paragraph 1, the writer leads into the topic by ________ A．using sayings B．asking questions C．listing numbers D．giving examples 2．What does “fitness equipment” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
