But have you ever traveled in space?   On July 20th, 2021, Amazon founder (亚马逊创始人) Jeff Bezos went on a 10-minute trip to space rising more than 104 kilometers into the sky. He didn’t go alone. He had three other people with him. The first passenger is his younger brother Mark. They come from the same family. The second passenger is an 82-year-old woman called Wally Funk. She becomes the oldest person to go into space. She was one of 13 female pilots who went through the same tests as NASA’s Mercury 7 astronauts in the 1960s. But she never went to space because only men were allowed at that time. Finally, a teenager called Oliver Daemen also joins the trip. He becomes the youngest person to go into space. Over the past six years, Jeff Bezos’ company, Blue Origin, had carried out 15 successful tests without people, and engineers decided that the New Shepard was finally ready to carry passengers. The company also carefully selected the passengers. Although they didn’t need to do much training before the trip, they still had to meet the following requirements.                    Main requirements for passengers ．They must be 18 years or older. ．They must be healthy enough to climb seven flights of stairs in a minute and a half. ．They must be from 1.5 m to 1.9 m tall and weigh from 49 kg to 101 kg. 1．What do we know about Jeff Bezos? A．He was the oldest passenger in the trip. B．He took the trip with three other people. C．He accepted strict training before the trip. D．He began to prepare for the trip seven years ago. 2．In the 1960s, Wally Funk didn’t go into space because ________. A．She was too old to go B．She didn’t pass the test C．Only men were allowed D．Only one person was allowed 3．Which of the following person can’t take the trip? Age Time to climb seven flights of stairs Height Weight Jack 21 80’’ 1.75 m 80 kg Lucy 25 100’’ 1.6 m 65 kg Tom 42 75’’ 1.8 m 90 kg Mary 19 60’’ 1.55 m 55 kg A．Jack. B．Lucy. C．Tom. D．Mary. 4．The passage talks about the following things EXCEPT________. A．how the passengers spent their time during the trip B．the information about the passengers in the trip C．the requirements for passengers to take the trip D．how Blue Origin prepared for the trip Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples: See the Earth from space Seeing the earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the Earth). Stay in space hotel Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold six people at a time. Eat in space Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around. Visit the Moon and other planets Space tourism companies are racing to launch the first tourist flight to the Moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the Moon, we will probably see it in our life time. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the Moon. With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Who knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space? 1．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．A lot of companies have sent people into space. B．It is possible for people to travel into space. C．A number of companies will be built in space. D．100 tourists travelled in space in April 2022. 2．How might most people feel when they see the Earth from space? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Afraid. D．Bored. 3．Which of the following is true? A．Orion Span has built six hotels in space. B．Space X has sent 4 customers to the Moon. C．Eating in space is as easy as on the Earth. D．It’s impossible to travel to the Moon at present. 4．In which section of a website can we read the article? A．Culture. B．Travel. C．Sports. D．Lifestyle. “Professor, you will be away on business for five months?” “Yes. But I’ll be watching you from high above. Make sure you turn in your papers on time!” This isn’t just a funny joke but a real conversation. One day before the Shenzhou-16 crew went into space, China made public the names of its three astronauts. One of them, a man wearing glasses, caught immediate attention. His name is Gui Haichao. He works as a college professor (教授). Gui showed a strong interest in science from an early age. One of his favorite books was The Encyclopedia for Children and Teenagers. He learned a lot about space from it. And the more the boy learned about this unknown place, the more he wanted to know about it. In 2003, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese man to travel into space. Gui was excited about the news. And he dreamed of one day going into space himself. With this dream in mind, Gui studied harder. Two years later, he successfully entered Beihang University to study space science. His dream to explore the unknown pushed him to keep moving forward. In 2017, at the age of 31, he became one of the youngest space science professors in China. Gui never forgot his dream of going into space. He knew this was the best way to study its many mysteries. So, when China opened its astronaut recruitment (招募) to college researchers in 2018, Gui immediately signed up (报名). He was so lucky that he was the first professor to get the chance to go into space. The training was hard. But there was nothing that could keep him from living out his lifelong dream. Are you interested in the unknown? We hope you’ve answered yes. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be watching your friends (and us) from high above! 1．What is the purpose of the conversation in the first two paragraphs? A．To give examples. B．To attract readers. C．To tell a story. D．To show feelings. 2．What do you know about Gui Haichao? A．He is the first Chinese man to travel into space. B．He became the youngest space science professors in 2017. C．He is the first professor to explore the space in China. D．He is the first man to sign up for the astronaut recruitment. 3．What made Gui’s dream come true? A．His favourite science book. B．Yang Liwei’s space experience. C．His work as a college professor. D．His interest in science and hard work. 4．What can be the best title of this text? A．The success of Shenzhou-16 B．Exploring the unknown C．Interest makes dreams happen D．Space dream comes true It is the year 2050. The dream of enjoying holidays in space has come true. Do you want to become a space traveler? Here, some middle school students share their ideas. I would love to go to space. From there, I can enjoy the beauty of the earth. I want to know what it’s like to live without gravity (重力). Maybe it will be fun to play golf in space. —Klaudia, Spain It can be dangerous to travel to space. What will happen if I get lost? Besides, I’m afraid of heights. When you look down upon the earth from a spaceship, it can be very scary. —Emily, the US I don’t want to be a space traveler. For me, I only care about what I have on this planet, like my family, my school and my pets. I would like to work hard and try to do the best with what I’m doing now. —Anna, the US I’d love to! We learned about the space in science class last week. It will be great to see all kinds of wonderful things that you can’t see on the earth. —Zainab, South Africa That will be cool. However, I will miss my family. Also, it takes a lot of training (训练) to become a space traveler. I don’t think I have time for that. And I don’t have enough money to pay for the trip. —Edward, the UK 1．Who would like to travel to space? A．Klaudia and Emily. B．Zainab and Anna. C．Klaudia and Zainab. D．Anna and Edward. 2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Klaudia would like to play golf in space. B．Anna cares about everything in space. C．Emily thinks it is very scary to travel to space. D．Zainab wants to see all kinds of wonderful things in space. 3．Who will probably (很可能) be interested in reading this passage? A．Students. B．Parents. C．Golf players. D．Space scientists. The Shenzhou-15 crewed spaceship was launched (发射) successfully from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on the evening of November 29, 2022. The spaceship took three astronauts (Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu) to carry out the Shenzhou-15 spaceflight mission (任务). This is the second time Fei has gone into space.”Fei is the commander.” said Ji Qiming, the director of the CMSA． After entering orbit (轨道), Fei’s team made the first in-orbit shift with the three Shenzhou-14 crew. Then, the Shenzhou-15 spaceship entered the country’s space station. There, Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu met with another three astronauts of the Shenzhou-14 spaceship. This was a historic time, because this was the first time that as many as six Chinese people were travelling in space at the same time. They took a group picture with their thumbs up. The six astronauts lived and worked together for about five days to finish planned tasks and handover work. After that, the Shenzhou-14 crew flew back to the Earth. The Shenzhou-15 crew will stay inside the Tiangong space station and carry out three to four spacewalks through the mission. Their main tasks include unlocking, installing and testing 15 scientific equipment (设备) doing more than 40 scientific experiments (实验) and so on. They are going to return to the Earth in May, 2023. As the final step in the building of the Tiangong space station, the Shenzhou-15 mission also marks the first step in the operation (运行) of the space station. The Tiangong space station turned into its largest size after the arrival of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship. Weighing nearly 100 tons, it is one of the largest space-based structures mankind has ever built in outer space. Maybe it will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to the CMSA． China’s space station is always worth (值得) looking forward to. Keep up the good work. 1．The Shenzhou-15 crew will stay ________ inside the Tiangong space station. A．three months B．six months C．nine months D．twelve months 2．The Shenzhou-15 crew will finish the following tasks EXCEPT (除了)________. A．taking several spacewalks B．doing scientific experiments C．testing some equipments of the space station D．opening the space station to foreign astronauts 3．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．The Tiangong space station will turn much larger in size. B．The Tiangong space station will welcome more foreign astronauts. C．Chinese people will leave more and more footsteps in outer space. D．Chinese people will finish the building of the Tiangong space station. 4．The passage is mainly about the ________ of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship. A．mission B．arrival C．launch D．future Have you ever heard of the “space race (太空竞赛)”? It sounds like a game, but it was not. The “space race” was a kind of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union (前苏联). Both countries wanted to be the first to send people into space. Both the Soviet Union and the United States sent rockets (火箭) into space in the 1950s, but not people. Then in 1961, a man called Yury Gagarin from the Soviet Union became the first man to travel in space. People in the United States were upset. They’d hoped an American would be first in space. Soon President John F. Kennedy told the world that Americans would be the first to land on the moon. He said they would get there by 1970. Landing on the moon was hardly possible at the time. But that “impossible dream” came true. On 16th July 1969, a huge white rocket left the United States. It was carrying a spaceship called Apollo 11. In it were three US astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Apollo 11 travelled quickly through space. On 20th July, it was near the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin moved slowly into the Eagle. That was their landing craft (登月舱). It would leave the command ship (指令舱) and land on the moon. Collins stayed in the command ship. Armstrong and Aldrin watched the moon getting closer and closer. Finally, the Eagle landed. Armstrong used his radio to tell people on the earth, “The Eagle has landed.” He and Aldrin stepped out into (步入) a strange new world. They were walking on the moon! 1．Who was the first man to travel in space? A．Yury Gagarin. B．Neil Armstrong. C．Michael Collins. D．Buzz Aldrin. 2．What does the underlined word “upset” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．骄傲的 B．滑稽的 C．难过的 D．平静的 3．Apollo 11 left the United States on _______. A．16th July 1961 B．20th July 1961 C．16th July 1969 D．20th July 1969 4．From the last two paragraphs, we can know that _______. A．the Eagle was the command ship B．there were four astronauts in Apollo 11 C．Aldrin and Collins stayed in the command ship D．Armstrong used his radio to talk to people on the earth 5．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．The world’s first spaceship B．The exciting space race C．The Soviet Union’s space dream D．The first Americans in space 进阶拓展训练6篇 There is lots of junk (垃圾) in space. Some of it is from rockets. In 1996, a rocket broke into about 300,000 small pieces. So far scientists have found many man-made pieces flying around in space. Only a few of them are satellites and space probes (探测器). Astronauts also lose small things while working in space. In 1965, during the first American spacewalk, astronaut Edward H. White lost a glove. For a month, the glove stayed in space, travelling at a speed of 28,000 kilometres per hour. It became the most dangerous piece of clothing for the earth in history. Things move very fast in space. If they hit one another it can be dangerous. A little piece of paint from a satellite once made a hole in a spacecraft window. Once American spacecraft dropped some bolts (螺栓), and scientists on the earth worried a lot. Luckily the bolts floated (漂浮) away into space. They could not hit the spacecraft. 1．Some junk in space is from ________. A．space B．rockets C．scientists D．the earth 2．American astronaut Edward H. White once lost ________ in space in 1965. A．a rocket B．some bolts C．a little piece of paint D．a glove 3．The glove in space may travel at a speed of ________ kilometres per hour. A．300,000 B．28,000 C．10,000 D．21,000 4．If the junk in space hits one another, it can be ________. A．great B．safe C．interesting D．dangerous 5．A little piece of paint from a satellite once made ________ in a spacecraft window. A．a scientist B．a bolt C．a probe D．a hole The first man in space was Yuri Gagarin. He flew into space in 1961. His spacecraft was called Vostok 1. Space travel has taught us so much about the universe and changed how we live here on the earth. The world’s first space travel agency (旅行社) has opened in Britain because more and more people want to travel into outer space. The agency will arrange everything from planes to hotels for people with prices from $250,000 to $4,791,666. “Being an astronaut is a childhood dream for so many people. However, it’s quiet a difficult job to get into. Luckily, we can take you into outer space now. So this gives people the chance to experience it for a few weeks,” said the manager of the agency. The experience will allow people to enjoy zero gravity (重力) and the beauty of the earth from space. People can also see about 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. When you get into space, some really fun things can happen to your body. On the ground, gravity pulls your spine (脊柱) down. In space, without gravity, you may get a little taller. There are also other changes too. For example, the heart gets smaller and the eyeball gets bigger. Are you ready to try a space travel? 1．Where is the world’s first space travel agency? A．In America. B．In Britain. C．In Australia. D．In Russia. 2．What does the underlined word “arrange” mean? A．Produce. B．Change. C．Plan. D．Catch. 3．According to the passage, what can people do if they travel into space? A．They can walk on the moon. B．They can do some interesting research. C．They can watch several sunrises and sunsets a day. D．They can take photos of all the planets of the earth. 4．According to the passage, what will happen to our body when we get into space? ①We become taller.                    ②We become thinner.                ③Our hearts become smaller. ④Our noses become longer        ⑤Our eyeballs become bigger A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③⑤ D．③④⑤ 5．What’s the best title of the text? A．A Travel to Space. B．A Great Astronaut. C．A Travel Agency. D．A Way to Change Your Body. Astronauts have to solve two problems: how to get food and how to keep their spaceship clean. They need to solve them in order to stay alive. They are in a spaceship far from Earth, and they need to take care of everything themselves. They need to be sure they have what they need to live there, because the astronauts may be in space for weeks. Here is how they solved the food problem. At first, the astronauts took tubes(管子) of semi-liquid (半流质的) food with them into space. They look like the toothpaste you use when you brush your teeth. The food did not taste great, but because astronauts did not need to take dishes with them, they had no dishes to wash. Today’s spaceships have a bigger menu. Astronauts can eat from bowls. In fact, they take cereal (谷类食物) and other foods with them. The foods are kept in a special way to stay fresh. They have a kitchen on the spaceship. Its oven（烤箱）can heat food to 170 degrees. The kitchen has water and sets of meals that come on plates. The astronauts choose their menu before they go into space. They take a lot of food with them. How do they keep the kitchen clean? They do not have to worry about mice or other rodents (啮齿类动物). They make sure that there are no rodents before the ship leaves. But sometimes mice travel on the ship. Those mice are part of experiments. They live in cages. How do astronauts keep their plates clean? That is another health problem the astronauts solve. They need to stay healthy in space. To carry a lot of water to wash plates would be much heavier. They take wet wipes (湿巾) in bags. They use them to clean plates. So, their kitchen is clean and they stay healthy. 1．What can we know about astronauts? A．They want to live far from the Earth. B．They like to take care of themselves. C．They have to live in space for weeks. D．They need to keep the spaceship clean. 2．The underlined word “They”in paragraph 5 refers to __________. A．astronauts B．mice C．experiments D．rodents 3．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To invite us to have a trip to the spaceship. B．To teach us how to keep our kitchen clean. C．To show us the ways to have healthy food in space. D．To introduce us astronauts’ solutions to their problems. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Space life. B．Space food. C．Space safety. D．Space health. Do you like the idea of space travel? It is becoming more and more real. In July, Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Galactic, and Jeff Bezos, the founder of space company Blue Origin, flew into space aboard spacecraft developed by their companies. When explaining the importance of space travel, Branson told Daily Mail that many people don’t really know what space does for Earth. He said, “we need more rocketships going into space because they can help us to monitor things like climate (气候) change.” But some people have different opinions. They think it is part of the so-called “billionaire space race”, which only offers space travel for the super-rich. According to Forbes, one open seat on the Blue Origin rocket sold for $28 million (181 million yuan) at a sale. So, with the sky-high prices, should ordinary people give up their dream of space exploration? Maybe not. US flight engineer Bobak Ferdowsi said that maybe space tourism is only for the super-rich now, but that doesn’t mean it will be like that forever. He thinks that the price will come down. “Maybe in 10 to 15 years, it’s a decision between do I buy a new car, or do I go to space? We should invest in a future that allows us to live somewhere else.” 1．As to Branson, what is the meaning of space travel? A．It can help us monitor Earth better. B．It offers more chance to travel for rich people. C．It can control climate change. D．It can better educate people about space knowledge. 2．According to the passage, how can we describe space travel now? A．Cheap and educational. B．Expensive but meaningful. C．Enjoyable but dangerous. D．Safe and affordable. 3．What does the underline sentence mean? A．Cars can be driven into space in the future. B．Space travel will be cheaper than a car in the future. C．We must buy a new car if we want to experience space travel. D．Ordinary people might be able to afford space travel in the future. 4．Which of the following is NOT true? A．Richard Branson is the founder of Virgin Galactic. B．Bobak Ferdowsi is an engineer. C．Forbes is founder of Blue Origin. D．Jeff Bezos is the founder of space company Blue Origin. 5．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably from? A．Science B．History C．Education D．Culture As one of China’s most famous astronauts, Wang Ya ping is very popular with us. Not long ago, she gave us a surprise once more. At the graduation ceremony (毕业典礼) of Peking University, Wang shared her space travel story with the young people. Wang flew into space twice and was the first woman to China’s space station. “I hope the coming new trip in your life will be fantastic,” she said. For the first time she appeared in public (公开地) after returning to the earth in April, 2022. On October 16, 2021, the Shenzhou-13 spacecraft sent Wang Yaping, Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu to China’s space station. They lived and worked in space for six months. In her talk, Wang told the young people how important teamwork (团队合作) was. When the three stayed in space, they performed extravehicular (舱外的) activities twice, gave two classes in space, and did quite a few scientific activities. In each activity, all the three worked hard together. Wang also hoped that all the young people could learn the importance of teamwork. “I expect you will never forget your job and will always keep your hope and love for the future,” she said. 1．What does the first paragraph tell us? A．When we can get into space. B．How a spaceship works. C．Who Wang Yaping is and what she did. D．What we can do in space. 2．What does the underlined word “returning” mean in Chinese? A．寻找 B．返回 C．离开 D．转动 3．What do Wang Yaping’s words at the graduation ceremony mean according to Paragraph 3? A．It’s not easy to be successful. B．Everyone should work hard. C．Her two teammates are smarter than her. D．Young people should learn to work together. 4．What do we know about Wang Yaping from the passage? A．She flew into space three times. B．She did most things by herself in space. C．She tried her best to do her job well. D．She expects young people to be astronauts. 5．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A film guide. B．A health report. C．A magazine. D．An English song. BLOG POST 1: DAY ONE Hello! This is Elena Romano. I’m on board Explorer One with Luca Rossi. Luca and I were very lucky winners of a competition (竞赛) to become the first children to go into space. We’re travelling with two astronauts called Leo and Melita and I’m going to write about what happens. This will be an exciting adventure (冒险)!BLOG POST 2: DAY THREE I’ve had some questions from people on Earth. Everyone asked, “Are you afraid?” No, we aren’t. We feel very safe up here!

More than 20 years has passed and another 19 astronauts have already reached for the stars. They made a lot of preparations before they became such national heroes. ②Astronauts face thousands of challenges and difficulties during space travels. For example, the changes in gravity (重力) can make something bad happen to their bodies, and living in a small spacecraft (太空舱) for months can also hurt their health. What’s more, they have to try all the ways to solve the unexpected problems. So it’s not surprising that astronauts have to experience some seriously difficult training (训练) to return home safely. ③Huang Weifen, an expert in China’s space program, once said that astronauts need to learn about over 200 subjects during their training. They don’t just try their best to get healthy—they also study top science, do simulated (模拟) practice and so on. One of the most tiring parts of the training is underwater training. Each time, astronauts spend up to six hours underwater wearing super heavy suits. Moving around becomes even harder because water makes everything feel heavy. “Nie Haisheng once lost two kilograms of weight after an underwater training.” Huang added. Each astronaut has to prepare for at least eighteen months before they can be able to go into space. ④You may never know how hard the training is. Success always belongs to the well-prepared people. Let’s learn from our national heroes. 1．How many Chinese astronauts have already traveled in the space so far? A．19. B．20. C．21. D．39. 2．In Paragraph 3, Huang Weifen mentioned (提及) Nie Haisheng to show that ______. A．astronauts are strong and healthy B．astronauts enjoy underwater training C．underwater training is very hard D．underwater training can help lose weight 3．Which is the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．Which saying best shows the main idea of the passage? A．Old habits die hard. B．Interest is the best teacher. C．It’s never too old to learn. D．Success comes to those who work hard and prepare well 5．In which section of the newspaper can we possibly read this article? A．Science and Technology. B．Sports and Games. C．School and Study. D．Culture and History. The China’s Dream——-Exploring the Sky China’s space program has made great progress these years. The country has become a leader in space science and technology. This article will talk about some of China’s space achievements and the C919, a passenger plane made in China. China started working on space technology in the 1950s. In 1970, China sent its first object into space, called Dong Fang Hong 1. This made China the fifth country to send something into space. It was a big step for China’s space program. Thirty-three years later, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut to go into space on the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. This made China the third country, after Russia and the United States, to send a person into space. In 2021, China launched the Tiangong space station. It is a lab in space where astronauts can live and do experiments. This space station is very important for China’s space research. China has also sent missions to the Moon and Mars. In 2013, the Chang’e 3 mission landed on the Moon, and in 2021, the Tianwen 1 mission sent the Zhurong rover to Mars. These achievements show that China is very good at exploring space. China has also made its own airplanes. The C919 is a large passenger plane made by COMAC． It can carry 158 to 174 people and fly up to 4,075 kilometers. The plane will compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. It is cheaper and uses less fuel, which helps airlines save money. The first C919 was delivered in 2022, and over 1,200 planes have been ordered. This shows China is improving in building airplanes and starting to sell them around the world. China’s space program and airplane industry are sure to benefit one another in the future. With ongoing research and projects, China will continue to contribute to the world. 1．When did China send the first astronaut into space? A．In 1950. B．In 1970. C．In 2003.

Jing Haipeng, born in 1966, has visited space more times than any other Chinese astronaut. “As an astronaut, it is our main duty to go to space,” he told the press. The experienced astronaut caught the nation’s attention in September 2008. He was chosen as one of three members for the Shenzhou-7 mission (任务) and traveled in space for more than two days. They completed China’s first spacewalk. In June 2012, Jing became the commander of the Shenzhou-9 mission. He worked with Liu Wang and Liu Yang in space for 13 days, completing China’s first manned space docking (对接). In October 2016, Jing was chosen as the commander of the Shenzhou-11. He and Chen Dong spent 33 days in space. In May 2023, Jing returned to space as the commander of Shenzhou-16. Born in a village in north China’s Shanxi Province, Jing first showed an interest in aviation (航空) when he was a teenager. Jing entered an aviation exam in 1984 but failed because of “physical reasons”. But he didn’t give up. The following year, he entered an aviation school. After graduation, he was chosen to a training base in Jiangsu Province. He had clocked (达到) 1200 hours of flight time while working as a pilot. Jing believes that life is made up of different dreams at different stages of time. “We should set up goals one after another, and work hard to make our dreams come true,” he said. 1．How long did Jing Haipeng traveled in space for the Shenzhou-7 mission?

Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn’t an astronaut, but a day trip to the stars already open for people to order! A new company, Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years’ time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon , the size of a football field. They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, spaced tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive fight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over ￡100,000. No special clothing or training is needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included. Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring (倾倒) money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket. Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question. 1．From the passage, what can we know about the plans of Space Perspective? A．It has tested 500 flights. B．It wants to use Neptune to carry people. C．It has quite a long history.. D．It makes flying abroad easier. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．The capsule will move fast. B．The price will be ￡100,000. C．Tourists can watch the Earth from space. D．Only young people can take part. 3．What can we infer from (推断) this passage? A．The competition to get tourists into space is becoming hot. B．There will be only three ways for visitors to reach space. C．The Stratollite is popular with space passengers. D．Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money. ①Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, once said, “Once we step into space, our future should be safe (安全的),” Do you agree with him? ②Today, many countries such as the United States, Russia, China, are building space stations and sending astronauts there. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars (火星) or other earth-like planets. ③Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks it is a right thing for the countries to do so. Humans should move to other planets and build new homes there. He wants to start with Mars. Why? He thinks sending people to Mars will help us to learn a lot of things—for example, the ability (能力) of humans to live in a very different environment. In the end, we could work and live on other planets. Besides, any improvement we make in science, medicine and health will do good to people here on Earth. ④Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Space X, a company (公司) that builds rockets, also believes we should send humans to Mars. His plan is to put about one million people there if some bad things happen to us here on Earth. ⑤ ▲ . Many people say it’s too expensive. Also, most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People who have such a long way to travel could face many health problems. What’s more, these first people would find life really difficult in space. On the moon’s surface (表面), for example, the sun’s rays (光线) are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time. ⑥Although there will be lots of difficulties, sending people into space seems certain. As the saying goes, “My conquest (征途) is the sea of stars.” In the future, we might see cities or even new human cultures on other planets. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By using a science report. B．By using a man’s idea. C．By using a famous saying. D．By using a study result. 2．What do both Robert Zubrin and Elon Musk probably agree? A．It’s impossible to send humans into space. B．People should live on the moon in the future. C．It’s not a good idea to live on the Earth. D．It’s necessary to send humans to other planets like Mars. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 5? A．As a result, it is not easy to build space stations on the moon. B．Many people also worry about the cost of space trips. C．Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. D．Sending humans to Mars is the only way to solve Earth’s problems. 4．Which shows the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 20 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 21 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年一线教师制作同步新课程精品系列资料，名师精选！ 2024-2025学年一线教师制作同步新课程精品系列资料，名师精选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Module3 Journey to space 单元话题（宇宙探索）阅读理解18篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练6篇 You might travel to the countryside or other countries in the past. But have you ever traveled in space?   On July 20th, 2021, Amazon founder (亚马逊创始人) Jeff Bezos went on a 10-minute trip to space rising more than 104 kilometers into the sky. He didn’t go alone. He had three other people with him. The first passenger is his younger brother Mark. They come from the same family. The second passenger is an 82-year-old woman called Wally Funk. She becomes the oldest person to go into space. She was one of 13 female pilots who went through the same tests as NASA’s Mercury 7 astronauts in the 1960s. But she never went to space because only men were allowed at that time. Finally, a teenager called Oliver Daemen also joins the trip. He becomes the youngest person to go into space. Over the past six years, Jeff Bezos’ company, Blue Origin, had carried out 15 successful tests without people, and engineers decided that the New Shepard was finally ready to carry passengers. The company also carefully selected the passengers. Although they didn’t need to do much training before the trip, they still had to meet the following requirements.                    Main requirements for passengers ．They must be 18 years or older. ．They must be healthy enough to climb seven flights of stairs in a minute and a half. ．They must be from 1.5 m to 1.9 m tall and weigh from 49 kg to 101 kg. 1．What do we know about Jeff Bezos? A．He was the oldest passenger in the trip. B．He took the trip with three other people. C．He accepted strict training before the trip. D．He began to prepare for the trip seven years ago. 2．In the 1960s, Wally Funk didn’t go into space because ________. A．She was too old to go B．She didn’t pass the test C．Only men were allowed D．Only one person was allowed 3．Which of the following person can’t take the trip? Age Time to climb seven flights of stairs Height Weight Jack 21 80’’ 1.75 m 80 kg Lucy 25 100’’ 1.6 m 65 kg Tom 42 75’’ 1.8 m 90 kg Mary 19 60’’ 1.55 m 55 kg A．Jack. B．Lucy. C．Tom. D．Mary. 4．The passage talks about the following things EXCEPT________. A．how the passengers spent their time during the trip B．the information about the passengers in the trip C．the requirements for passengers to take the trip D．how Blue Origin prepared for the trip 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了亚马逊创始人Jeff Bezos和其他三位伙伴的太空之旅的基本情况，以及Blue Origin挑选乘客的标准等。 1．细节理解题。根据“On July 20th, 2021, Amazon founder (亚马逊创始人) Jeff Bezos went on a 10-minute trip to space”和“He didn’t go alone. He had three other people with him.”可知，Jeff Bezos是和其他三人一起进行太空之旅的，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“But she never went to space because only men were allowed at that time.”可知，她之所以没能进入太空是因为那时只有男飞行员才能进入太空。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Main requirements for passengers”可知，四个人的年龄、身高和体重都在合格范围内，但是Lucy爬七层楼梯用了100秒，没有在一分半钟内完成，故Lucy不能参加这个旅行。故选B。 4．细节理解题。通读全文可知，第二段主要讲了与Jeff Bezos一起旅行的其他三个人的信息；文章最后提到了对乘客的要求；最后一段提到了Blue Origin为这次太空之旅所做的准备；文中没有提到乘客们是如何度过旅程的。故选A。 Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples: See the Earth from space Seeing the earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the Earth). Stay in space hotel Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold six people at a time. Eat in space Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around. Visit the Moon and other planets Space tourism companies are racing to launch the first tourist flight to the Moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the Moon, we will probably see it in our life time. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the Moon. With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Who knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space? 1．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．A lot of companies have sent people into space. B．It is possible for people to travel into space. C．A number of companies will be built in space. D．100 tourists travelled in space in April 2022. 2．How might most people feel when they see the Earth from space? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Afraid. D．Bored. 3．Which of the following is true? A．Orion Span has built six hotels in space. B．Space X has sent 4 customers to the Moon. C．Eating in space is as easy as on the Earth. D．It’s impossible to travel to the Moon at present. 4．In which section of a website can we read the article? A．Culture. B．Travel. C．Sports. D．Lifestyle. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了太空旅游的现状以及未来发展。 1．细节理解题。根据“Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space...And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space.”可知，在2022年4月，Space X公司将4人送往太空，所以人们去太空旅行是可能的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Seeing the earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder”可知，从远处看地球给大多数人一种惊奇感和成就感，所以人们从太空看到地球时会感到很兴奋。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the Moon, we will probably see it in our life time.”可知，目前普通人要登上月球还有很长的路要走，所以D选项“目前不可能去月球旅行”表述正确。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction.”及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了关于太空旅行的事情，属于旅游范畴。故选B。 “Professor, you will be away on business for five months?” “Yes. But I’ll be watching you from high above. Make sure you turn in your papers on time!” This isn’t just a funny joke but a real conversation. One day before the Shenzhou-16 crew went into space, China made public the names of its three astronauts. One of them, a man wearing glasses, caught immediate attention. His name is Gui Haichao. He works as a college professor (教授). Gui showed a strong interest in science from an early age. One of his favorite books was The Encyclopedia for Children and Teenagers. He learned a lot about space from it. And the more the boy learned about this unknown place, the more he wanted to know about it. In 2003, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese man to travel into space. Gui was excited about the news. And he dreamed of one day going into space himself. With this dream in mind, Gui studied harder. Two years later, he successfully entered Beihang University to study space science. His dream to explore the unknown pushed him to keep moving forward. In 2017, at the age of 31, he became one of the youngest space science professors in China. Gui never forgot his dream of going into space. He knew this was the best way to study its many mysteries. So, when China opened its astronaut recruitment (招募) to college researchers in 2018, Gui immediately signed up (报名). He was so lucky that he was the first professor to get the chance to go into space. The training was hard. But there was nothing that could keep him from living out his lifelong dream. Are you interested in the unknown? We hope you’ve answered yes. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be watching your friends (and us) from high above! 1．What is the purpose of the conversation in the first two paragraphs? A．To give examples. B．To attract readers. C．To tell a story. D．To show feelings. 2．What do you know about Gui Haichao? A．He is the first Chinese man to travel into space. B．He became the youngest space science professors in 2017. C．He is the first professor to explore the space in China. D．He is the first man to sign up for the astronaut recruitment. 3．What made Gui’s dream come true? A．His favourite science book. B．Yang Liwei’s space experience. C．His work as a college professor. D．His interest in science and hard work. 4．What can be the best title of this text? A．The success of Shenzhou-16 B．Exploring the unknown C．Interest makes dreams happen D．Space dream comes true 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了一位名叫桂海潮的大学教授的太空梦想成真的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据前两段“‘Professor, you will be away on business for five months?’ ‘Yes. But I’ll be watching you from high above. Make sure you turn in your papers on time!’”可知，桂海潮教授说会在高处看着学生，确保他们按时交论文。由此推测，前两段对话的目的是吸引读者。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“He was so lucky that he was the first professor to get the chance to go into space.”可知，桂海潮是中国第一位探索太空的教授。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Gui showed a strong interest in science from an early age...He learned a lot about space from it. And the more the boy learned about this unknown place, the more he wanted to know about it...With this dream in mind, Gui studied harder. Two years later, he successfully entered Beihang University to study space science... in China.”可知，桂海潮教授对科学的兴趣和他的努力工作让他的梦想成真了。故选D。 4．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，这篇短文主要讲述了一位名叫桂海潮的大学教授的太空梦想成真的故事。故文章的最佳标题应是 “太空梦想成真”。故选D。 It is the year 2050. The dream of enjoying holidays in space has come true. Do you want to become a space traveler? Here, some middle school students share their ideas. I would love to go to space. From there, I can enjoy the beauty of the earth. I want to know what it’s like to live without gravity (重力). Maybe it will be fun to play golf in space. —Klaudia, Spain It can be dangerous to travel to space. What will happen if I get lost? Besides, I’m afraid of heights. When you look down upon the earth from a spaceship, it can be very scary. —Emily, the US I don’t want to be a space traveler. For me, I only care about what I have on this planet, like my family, my school and my pets. I would like to work hard and try to do the best with what I’m doing now. —Anna, the US I’d love to! We learned about the space in science class last week. It will be great to see all kinds of wonderful things that you can’t see on the earth. —Zainab, South Africa That will be cool.

For me, I only care about what I have on this planet, like my family, my school and my pets.”可知，Anna只在乎在地球上拥有的东西而不是太空中的东西，所以选项B说法错误，故选B。 3． 推理判断题。根据“It is the year 2050. The dream of enjoying holidays in space has come true. Do you want to become a space traveler? Here, some middle school students share their ideas.”可知，本文是一些中学生分享了他们是否想去太空旅行的想法，应该是学生会对此感兴趣，故选A。 The Shenzhou-15 crewed spaceship was launched (发射) successfully from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on the evening of November 29, 2022. The spaceship took three astronauts (Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu) to carry out the Shenzhou-15 spaceflight mission (任务). This is the second time Fei has gone into space.”Fei is the commander.” said Ji Qiming, the director of the CMSA． After entering orbit (轨道), Fei’s team made the first in-orbit shift with the three Shenzhou-14 crew. Then, the Shenzhou-15 spaceship entered the country’s space station. There, Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming and Zhang Lu met with another three astronauts of the Shenzhou-14 spaceship. This was a historic time, because this was the first time that as many as six Chinese people were travelling in space at the same time. They took a group picture with their thumbs up. The six astronauts lived and worked together for about five days to finish planned tasks and handover work. After that, the Shenzhou-14 crew flew back to the Earth. The Shenzhou-15 crew will stay inside the Tiangong space station and carry out three to four spacewalks through the mission. Their main tasks include unlocking, installing and testing 15 scientific equipment (设备) doing more than 40 scientific experiments (实验) and so on. They are going to return to the Earth in May, 2023. As the final step in the building of the Tiangong space station, the Shenzhou-15 mission also marks the first step in the operation (运行) of the space station. The Tiangong space station turned into its largest size after the arrival of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship. Weighing nearly 100 tons, it is one of the largest space-based structures mankind has ever built in outer space. Maybe it will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future, according to the CMSA． China’s space station is always worth (值得) looking forward to. Keep up the good work. 1．The Shenzhou-15 crew will stay ________ inside the Tiangong space station. A．three months B．six months C．nine months D．twelve months 2．The Shenzhou-15 crew will finish the following tasks EXCEPT (除了)________. A．taking several spacewalks B．doing scientific experiments C．testing some equipments of the space station D．opening the space station to foreign astronauts 3．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．The Tiangong space station will turn much larger in size. B．The Tiangong space station will welcome more foreign astronauts. C．Chinese people will leave more and more footsteps in outer space. D．Chinese people will finish the building of the Tiangong space station. 4．The passage is mainly about the ________ of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship. A．mission B．arrival C．launch D．future 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了2022年11月29日晚，神舟十五号载人飞船在中国西北部的酒泉卫星发射中心成功发射。飞船搭载了三名宇航员（费俊龙、邓清明和张陆）执行神舟十五号航天任务。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The Shenzhou-15 crewed spaceship was launched (发射) successfully from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on the evening of November 29, 2022.”和第四段末尾“They are going to return to the Earth in May, 2023.”可知，神舟十五号于2022年11月29日发射并于2023年5月返回地球，推算出神舟十五号机组人员将留在天宫空间站六个月，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Their main tasks include unlocking, installing and testing 15 scientific equipment (设备) doing more than 40 scientific experiments (实验) and so on.”可知他们的主要任务包括解锁、安装和测试15台科学设备，进行40多项科学实验等，不包括“向外国宇航员开放空间站”，故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“The Tiangong space station turned into its largest size after the arrival of the Shenzhou-15 spaceship.” 和“China’s space station is always worth (值得) looking forward to.”可知神舟十五号飞船抵达后，天宫空间站变为最大的空间站并且一直在发展，因此中国的空间站是永远值得期待的，故可以推出带下划线的句子的意思是：天宫空间站将变得更大，故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇文章主要讲述关于神舟十五号飞船的任务，故选A。 Have you ever heard of the “space race (太空竞赛)”? It sounds like a game, but it was not. The “space race” was a kind of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union (前苏联). Both countries wanted to be the first to send people into space. Both the Soviet Union and the United States sent rockets (火箭) into space in the 1950s, but not people. Then in 1961, a man called Yury Gagarin from the Soviet Union became the first man to travel in space. People in the United States were upset. They’d hoped an American would be first in space. Soon President John F. Kennedy told the world that Americans would be the first to land on the moon. He said they would get there by 1970. Landing on the moon was hardly possible at the time. But that “impossible dream” came true. On 16th July 1969, a huge white rocket left the United States. It was carrying a spaceship called Apollo 11. In it were three US astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Apollo 11 travelled quickly through space. On 20th July, it was near the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin moved slowly into the Eagle. That was their landing craft (登月舱). It would leave the command ship (指令舱) and land on the moon. Collins stayed in the command ship. Armstrong and Aldrin watched the moon getting closer and closer. Finally, the Eagle landed. Armstrong used his radio to tell people on the earth, “The Eagle has landed.” He and Aldrin stepped out into (步入) a strange new world.

Some of it is from rockets. In 1996, a rocket broke into about 300,000 small pieces. So far scientists have found many man-made pieces flying around in space. Only a few of them are satellites and space probes (探测器). Astronauts also lose small things while working in space. In 1965, during the first American spacewalk, astronaut Edward H. White lost a glove. For a month, the glove stayed in space, travelling at a speed of 28,000 kilometres per hour. It became the most dangerous piece of clothing for the earth in history. Things move very fast in space. If they hit one another it can be dangerous. A little piece of paint from a satellite once made a hole in a spacecraft window. Once American spacecraft dropped some bolts (螺栓), and scientists on the earth worried a lot. Luckily the bolts floated (漂浮) away into space. They could not hit the spacecraft. 1．Some junk in space is from ________. A．space B．rockets C．scientists D．the earth 2．American astronaut Edward H. White once lost ________ in space in 1965.

He flew into space in 1961. His spacecraft was called Vostok 1. Space travel has taught us so much about the universe and changed how we live here on the earth. The world’s first space travel agency (旅行社) has opened in Britain because more and more people want to travel into outer space. The agency will arrange everything from planes to hotels for people with prices from $250,000 to $4,791,666. “Being an astronaut is a childhood dream for so many people. However, it’s quiet a difficult job to get into. Luckily, we can take you into outer space now. So this gives people the chance to experience it for a few weeks,” said the manager of the agency. The experience will allow people to enjoy zero gravity (重力) and the beauty of the earth from space. People can also see about 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. When you get into space, some really fun things can happen to your body. On the ground, gravity pulls your spine (脊柱) down. In space, without gravity, you may get a little taller. There are also other changes too. For example, the heart gets smaller and the eyeball gets bigger. Are you ready to try a space travel? 1．Where is the world’s first space travel agency? A．In America.

There are also other changes too. For example, the heart gets smaller and the eyeball gets bigger.”可知，在太空中，身高会变高一点，心脏变小，眼球变大，因此①③⑤符合题意。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要向我们介绍了太空旅行的相关项目，包括：体验宇航员的工作，感受零重力，观看日出和日落。因此选项A “太空旅行” 符合最佳标题。故选A。 Astronauts have to solve two problems: how to get food and how to keep their spaceship clean. They need to solve them in order to stay alive. They are in a spaceship far from Earth, and they need to take care of everything themselves. They need to be sure they have what they need to live there, because the astronauts may be in space for weeks. Here is how they solved the food problem. At first, the astronauts took tubes(管子) of semi-liquid (半流质的) food with them into space. They look like the toothpaste you use when you brush your teeth. The food did not taste great, but because astronauts did not need to take dishes with them, they had no dishes to wash. Today’s spaceships have a bigger menu. Astronauts can eat from bowls. In fact, they take cereal (谷类食物) and other foods with them. The foods are kept in a special way to stay fresh. They have a kitchen on the spaceship. Its oven（烤箱）can heat food to 170 degrees. The kitchen has water and sets of meals that come on plates. The astronauts choose their menu before they go into space. They take a lot of food with them. How do they keep the kitchen clean? They do not have to worry about mice or other rodents (啮齿类动物). They make sure that there are no rodents before the ship leaves. But sometimes mice travel on the ship. Those mice are part of experiments. They live in cages. How do astronauts keep their plates clean? That is another health problem the astronauts solve. They need to stay healthy in space. To carry a lot of water to wash plates would be much heavier. They take wet wipes (湿巾) in bags. They use them to clean plates. So, their kitchen is clean and they stay healthy. 1．What can we know about astronauts? A．They want to live far from the Earth. B．They like to take care of themselves. C．They have to live in space for weeks. D．They need to keep the spaceship clean. 2．The underlined word “They”in paragraph 5 refers to __________. A．astronauts B．mice C．experiments D．rodents 3．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To invite us to have a trip to the spaceship. B．To teach us how to keep our kitchen clean. C．To show us the ways to have healthy food in space. D．To introduce us astronauts’ solutions to their problems. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Space life. B．Space food. C．Space safety. D．Space health. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了宇航员如何在太空飞船中获取食物以及如何保持太空飞船的清洁。 1．细节理解题。根据“Astronauts have to solve two problems: how to get food and how to keep their spaceship clean.”可知，宇航员在太空需要保持太空飞船的清洁，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Those mice are part of experiments. They live in cages.”可知，那些老鼠是实验的一部分。它们住在笼子里，所以“they”指代的是“老鼠”，故选B。 3． 主旨大意题。根据“Astronauts have to solve two problems: how to get food and how to keep their spaceship clean.”及全文理解可知，文章主要介绍了宇航员在太空飞船中如何获取食物及如何保持太空飞船的清洁；因此D选项符合题意，故选D。 4．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了宇航员在太空飞船中如何获取食物以及如何保持太空飞船的清洁。因此A选项“太空的生活”符合题意，故选A。 Do you like the idea of space travel? It is becoming more and more real. In July, Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Galactic, and Jeff Bezos, the founder of space company Blue Origin, flew into space aboard spacecraft developed by their companies. When explaining the importance of space travel, Branson told Daily Mail that many people don’t really know what space does for Earth. He said, “we need more rocketships going into space because they can help us to monitor things like climate (气候) change.” But some people have different opinions. They think it is part of the so-called “billionaire space race”, which only offers space travel for the super-rich. According to Forbes, one open seat on the Blue Origin rocket sold for $28 million (181 million yuan) at a sale. So, with the sky-high prices, should ordinary people give up their dream of space exploration? Maybe not. US flight engineer Bobak Ferdowsi said that maybe space tourism is only for the super-rich now, but that doesn’t mean it will be like that forever. He thinks that the price will come down. “Maybe in 10 to 15 years, it’s a decision between do I buy a new car, or do I go to space? We should invest in a future that allows us to live somewhere else.” 1．As to Branson, what is the meaning of space travel? A．It can help us monitor Earth better. B．It offers more chance to travel for rich people. C．It can control climate change. D．It can better educate people about space knowledge. 2．According to the passage, how can we describe space travel now? A．Cheap and educational. B．Expensive but meaningful. C．Enjoyable but dangerous. D．Safe and affordable. 3．What does the underline sentence mean? A．Cars can be driven into space in the future. B．Space travel will be cheaper than a car in the future. C．We must buy a new car if we want to experience space travel. D．Ordinary people might be able to afford space travel in the future. 4．Which of the following is NOT true? A．Richard Branson is the founder of Virgin Galactic. B．Bobak Ferdowsi is an engineer. C．Forbes is founder of Blue Origin. D．Jeff Bezos is the founder of space company Blue Origin. 5．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably from? A．Science B．History C．Education D．Culture 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍对于太空旅行的一些观点。 1．细节理解题。根据“When explaining the importance of space travel, Branson told Daily Mail that many people don’t really know what space does for Earth. He said, ‘we need more rocketships going into space because they can help us to monitor things like climate (气候) change.’”可知，布兰森认为太空旅行的意义是可以帮助我们更好地监测地球。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“‘we need more rocketships going into space because they can help us to monitor things like climate (气候) change.’”和“with the sky-high prices”可知，太空旅行很有意义，但是价格昂贵。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“He thinks that the price will come down. ‘Maybe in 10 to 15 years, it’s a decision between do I buy a new car, or do I go to space?

More than 20 years has passed and another 19 astronauts have already reached for the stars. They made a lot of preparations before they became such national heroes. ②Astronauts face thousands of challenges and difficulties during space travels. For example, the changes in gravity (重力) can make something bad happen to their bodies, and living in a small spacecraft (太空舱) for months can also hurt their health. What’s more, they have to try all the ways to solve the unexpected problems. So it’s not surprising that astronauts have to experience some seriously difficult training (训练) to return home safely. ③Huang Weifen, an expert in China’s space program, once said that astronauts need to learn about over 200 subjects during their training. They don’t just try their best to get healthy—they also study top science, do simulated (模拟) practice and so on. One of the most tiring parts of the training is underwater training. Each time, astronauts spend up to six hours underwater wearing super heavy suits. Moving around becomes even harder because water makes everything feel heavy. “Nie Haisheng once lost two kilograms of weight after an underwater training.” Huang added. Each astronaut has to prepare for at least eighteen months before they can be able to go into space. ④You may never know how hard the training is. Success always belongs to the well-prepared people. Let’s learn from our national heroes. 1．How many Chinese astronauts have already traveled in the space so far? A．19. B．20. C．21. D．39. 2．In Paragraph 3, Huang Weifen mentioned (提及) Nie Haisheng to show that ______. A．astronauts are strong and healthy B．astronauts enjoy underwater training C．underwater training is very hard D．underwater training can help lose weight 3．Which is the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．Which saying best shows the main idea of the passage? A．Old habits die hard. B．Interest is the best teacher. C．It’s never too old to learn. D．Success comes to those who work hard and prepare well 5．In which section of the newspaper can we possibly read this article? A．Science and Technology. B．Sports and Games. C．School and Study. D．Culture and History. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了宇航员进入太空前要经历的艰苦训练，告诉我们成功总是属于有充分准备的人。 1．细节理解题。根据“Do you still remember the time when Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut to go into space?”以及“More than 20 years has passed and another 19 astronauts have already reached for the stars”可知，杨利伟之后又有19名宇航员进入太空，因此总人数为20人，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“One of the most tiring parts of the training is underwater training…Moving around becomes even harder because water makes everything feel heavy.”可知，提及聂海胜是为了说明水下训练的艰苦，故选C。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文，第一段介绍宇航员进入太空之前要经历很多；第二段和第三段具体介绍他们面临的挑战和训练的必要性，以及艰苦的训练；最后一段总结全文。因此，文章是总分总结构。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据“Success always belongs to the well-prepared people”总结文章主旨，表明成功属于勤奋且准备充分的人。故选D。 5．推理判断题。文章内容主要是关于中国航天员与太空探索领域，符合“科学与技术”类报道，故选A。 The China’s Dream——-Exploring the Sky China’s space program has made great progress these years. The country has become a leader in space science and technology. This article will talk about some of China’s space achievements and the C919, a passenger plane made in China. China started working on space technology in the 1950s. In 1970, China sent its first object into space, called Dong Fang Hong 1. This made China the fifth country to send something into space. It was a big step for China’s space program. Thirty-three years later, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut to go into space on the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. This made China the third country, after Russia and the United States, to send a person into space. In 2021, China launched the Tiangong space station. It is a lab in space where astronauts can live and do experiments. This space station is very important for China’s space research. China has also sent missions to the Moon and Mars. In 2013, the Chang’e 3 mission landed on the Moon, and in 2021, the Tianwen 1 mission sent the Zhurong rover to Mars. These achievements show that China is very good at exploring space. China has also made its own airplanes. The C919 is a large passenger plane made by COMAC． It can carry 158 to 174 people and fly up to 4,075 kilometers. The plane will compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. It is cheaper and uses less fuel, which helps airlines save money. The first C919 was delivered in 2022, and over 1,200 planes have been ordered. This shows China is improving in building airplanes and starting to sell them around the world. China’s space program and airplane industry are sure to benefit one another in the future. With ongoing research and projects, China will continue to contribute to the world. 1．When did China send the first astronaut into space? A．In 1950. B．In 1970. C．In 2003. D．In 2021. 2．Why is the Tiangong space station important? A．It carried the Zhurong rover to Mars. B．It was China’s first mission to the Moon. C．It was China’s first object sent into space.

A new company, Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years’ time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon , the size of a football field. They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, spaced tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive fight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over ￡100,000. No special clothing or training is needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included. Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring (倾倒) money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket. Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question. 1．From the passage, what can we know about the plans of Space Perspective? A．It has tested 500 flights. B．It wants to use Neptune to carry people. C．It has quite a long history.. D．It makes flying abroad easier. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．The capsule will move fast. B．The price will be ￡100,000. C．Tourists can watch the Earth from space. D．Only young people can take part. 3．What can we infer from (推断) this passage? A．The competition to get tourists into space is becoming hot. B．There will be only three ways for visitors to reach space. C．The Stratollite is popular with space passengers. D．Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一家名为Space Perspective的公司正在计划测试太空旅游。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon , the size of a football field.”可知，Space Perspective公司想用Neptune载人。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, spaced tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space...”可知，太空游客可以从太空观察地球。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring (倾倒) money into developing business space flying machines.”可知，Neptune现在面临着许多的竞争，多家公司投入资金研究太空旅行机器。由此可推断，吸引游客进入太空的竞争越来越激烈。故选A。 ①Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, once said, “Once we step into space, our future should be safe (安全的),” Do you agree with him? ②Today, many countries such as the United States, Russia, China, are building space stations and sending astronauts there. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars (火星) or other earth-like planets. ③Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks it is a right thing for the countries to do so. Humans should move to other planets and build new homes there. He wants to start with Mars. Why? He thinks sending people to Mars will help us to learn a lot of things—for example, the ability (能力) of humans to live in a very different environment. In the end, we could work and live on other planets. Besides, any improvement we make in science, medicine and health will do good to people here on Earth. ④Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Space X, a company (公司) that builds rockets, also believes we should send humans to Mars. His plan is to put about one million people there if some bad things happen to us here on Earth. ⑤ ▲ . Many people say it’s too expensive. Also, most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People who have such a long way to travel could face many health problems. What’s more, these first people would find life really difficult in space. On the moon’s surface (表面), for example, the sun’s rays (光线) are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time. ⑥Although there will be lots of difficulties, sending people into space seems certain. As the saying goes, “My conquest (征途) is the sea of stars.” In the future, we might see cities or even new human cultures on other planets. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By using a science report. B．By using a man’s idea. C．By using a famous saying. D．By using a study result. 2．What do both Robert Zubrin and Elon Musk probably agree? A．It’s impossible to send humans into space. B．People should live on the moon in the future. C．It’s not a good idea to live on the Earth. D．It’s necessary to send humans to other planets like Mars. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 5? A．As a result, it is not easy to build space stations on the moon. B．Many people also worry about the cost of space trips. C．Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. D．Sending humans to Mars is the only way to solve Earth’s problems. 4．Which shows the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些国家为人类的未来生活考虑而计划建造空间站，以及不同的人们支持和反对这种做法的理由。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, once said, ‘Once we step into space, our future should be safe (安全的),’ Do you agree with him?”可知，作者用霍金的想法引出文章的主题，即人类进入太空，我们的未来应该是安全的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks it is a right thing for the countries to do so. Humans should move to other planets and build new homes there. He wants to start with Mars.”和第四段中的“Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Space X, a company (公司) that builds rockets, also believes we should send humans to Mars.”可推知，Both Robert Zubrin和 Elon Musk可能都同意有必要将人类送往火星等其他星球。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，本段主要讲述了许多人认为太空旅行是不明智的，因为太空旅行既昂贵又耗时，而且太空里的生活也很艰难。所以选项C“不是每个人都认为把人类送入太空是明智之举”可以作为本段的开头句。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。通读短文可知，第一段通过引用科学家Stephen Hawking的话提出问题；第二段是各国的准备进入太空，第三和四段是专家对“人类进入太空”的赞成；第五段是对“人类进入太空”的反对；第六段是归纳总结。故文章的篇章结构可能是如B图所示。故选B。 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
