Before the mid - 20th century, most people felt travelling into space was 4.______ impossible dream. However, some scientists were determined to help humans realize their dream 5.______ (explore) space. After many experiments, they succeeded in 6.______ (make) rockets that could escape Earth's gravity.

Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space, and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world 8.______ (go) into space. Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, famously saying, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Following this, many more goals 9.______ (achieve). For example, America's NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today.
在20世纪中期以前,大多数人认为太空旅行是一个不可能实现的梦想。然而,一些科学家决心帮助人类实现探索太空的梦想。经过多次实验,他们成功制造出了能够摆脱地球引力的火箭。1957年10月4日,苏联发射了 “斯普特尼克1号” 卫星,它成功地绕地球轨道运行。此后,苏联致力于将人类送入太空。1961年4月12日,尤里·加加林成为世界上第一个进入太空的人。八年多后的1969年7月20日,美国宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗踏上了月球,他说出了那句著名的话:“这是个人的一小步,却是人类的一大步。” 在这之后,更多的目标得以实现。例如,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)于1977年9月5日发射了 “旅行者1号” 来研究深空,并且它至今仍在传输数据。
Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen. All the astronauts on the USSR's Soyuz 11 and America's Challenger died during their missions. These disasters made everyone sad and disappointed, 10.______ the desire to explore the universe never died. This is because people believe in the importance of carrying on space exploration despite the huge risks. An example of this ongoing work is the International Space Station. It orbits Earth and has astronauts from different countries 11.______ board, 12.______ (provide) a continuous human presence in space.
尽管科学家们努力确保万无一失,但事故仍有可能发生。苏联 “联盟11号” 和美国 “挑战者号” 上的所有宇航员都在执行任务期间牺牲了。这些灾难让每个人都感到悲伤和失望,但探索宇宙的渴望从未泯灭。这是因为人们相信,尽管存在巨大风险,继续进行太空探索依然意义重大。正在进行的一个例子就是国际空间站。它绕地球轨道运行,上面有来自不同国家的宇航员,使得人类能够持续在太空存在。
China's space programme started later than 13.______ of Russia and the US, but it has made great progress in a short time. China became the third country in the world to 14.______ (independent) send humans into space in 2003, when Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. Then Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk, followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit being sent to the moon to study its surface. After that, China launched the Tiangong 2 space lab into space and Tianzhou 1 to dock with it. This 15.______ (signal) one step further in China's plan to establish a space station in the future. More recently, China has sent Chang'e 4 to explore the surface of the far side of the moon to make measurements and 16.______ (observe). 中国的航天事业起步比俄罗斯和美国晚,但在短时间内取得了巨大的进展。2003年,杨利伟乘坐神舟五号飞船成功绕地球飞行,中国成为世界上第三个能够独立将人类送入太空的国家。随后,神舟六号和神舟七号完成了第二次载人轨道飞行以及中国首次太空行走,接着 “玉兔号” 月球车被送往月球,对月球表面进行研究。在那之后,中国将天宫二号空间实验室发射升空,并发射天舟一号与它对接。这标志着中国在未来建立空间站的计划又向前迈出了一步。最近,中国发射了嫦娥四号,对月球背面的表面进行探测,以进行测量和观察。
Europe, the US, and China all have plans to further study and explore planets like Mars and Jupiter. Despite the difficulties, scientists hope future discoveries will not only enable us 17.______ (understand) how the universe began, but also help us survive well into the future.“
欧洲、美国和中国都有进一步研究和探索火星、木星等行星的计划。尽管困难重重,科学家们仍希望未来的发现不仅能让我们了解宇宙的起源,还能帮助我们在未来更好地生存下去。
