Unit 4 Space Exploration 主题阅读训练-【万向思维·高考快递】2024-2025学年高中练习生英语必修第三册（人教版2019）

UNIT 4 SPACE EXPLORATION 主题语境大拓展 ●答案见D22 .阅读理解 子主题1 机器人探索太空 语篇类型说明文 词数 325 关键词 space exploration,robots 原创 Everyone loves astronauts.Whether actual or fictional,astronauts are seen as the best and bravest aspects of humankind.So you have to admire the courage of authors Donald Goldsmith and Martin Rees who argue that,in almost all cases,space exploration is too important to leave to imperfect human beings.They write,"Robots can go bravely where humans rightly fear to set foot." In The End of Astronauts:Why Robots Are the Future of Exploration,they challenge the three most common rationales(全部理由)for putting humans in space. First is the statement that "humans in space can do more,and more efficiently,than robots can". The authors devote much of their book to proving it wrong.The second and third rationales have less to do with efficiency than with "ambition and inspiration".That is,humans must satisfy their urge to explore new frontiers,and "Humans in space add to our understanding of the space and ourselves. As scientists,the authors don't have much patience for arguments based on unclear urges.They are cool to the idea that colonizing (space has much value to humans,at least in the near term.They are more open to the idea that spaceflight might aid in deepening our understanding of the human species. While we civilians might be excited at the thought of human footprints on a distant planet, astronomers care more about getting data they can work with.So,at its heart,The End of Astronauts is an argument about return on investment:For the cost of a single human journey to Mars,the authors point out,we could launch dozens of uncrewed missions. To support their point,the authors remind us of the remarkable discoveries made by robotic missions to explore the solar system over the past six decades,and they emphasize the risks facing future human space explorers.In all,their book is a readable and useful contribution to this long-standing debate. 1.Who do Donald and Martin think is the fittest to explore space? A.Astronauts. B.Humans. C.Authors. D.Robots. 2.What do the authors intend to do according to paragraph 3? A.Encourage humans to be ambitious. B.Deepen humans's understanding of space. C.Show how the two authors question the rationales. D.Prove humans can explore space more efficiently. 3.What do we know about The End of Astronauts? A.It mainly focuses on the return on investment. B.It tracks human footprints on distant planets. C.It reveals the worry about uncrewed missions. D.It appeals to space explorers to brave challenges. 4.What is the text? A.A science report. B.A book review. C.A short story. D.An introduction to space. 1/61/1111 高考快递·练习生 高中英语·必修第三册·RJ ‖.完形填空 子主题2 模拟火星生活 语篇类型 说明文 词数 266 关键词 simulated,Mars In September 2016,six people came out from a small solar-powered building on the side of a volcano in Hawaii.They were 1 of a simulated mission to Mars,and they had been living in the building for nearly one year,2 the rest of the world.

Kartik Pingle,16,and Jasmine Wright,18,who both attended schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP).With the help of Tansu Daylan,an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research,the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).Together they focused on TESS Object of Interest (TOI) 1233,a nearby,bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating ()around the star. "We were looking to see changes in light over time,"Pingle explained."The idea is that if the planet transits ()the star,or passes in front of it,it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness." While studying 1233,Pingle and Wright had hoped to find at least one planet,but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were found."I was very excited and very shocked,Wright said."We knew this was the goal of Daylan's research,but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team,was really cool. Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as "sub-Neptunes",which are gaseous )but smaller than the Neptune in our solar system.While observing the planets,the team determined each one completes their orbit around 1233 every 6 to 19.5 days.However,the fourth planet is labeled a "super-Earth"for its large size and rockiness-this one orbits around the star in just under four days. "We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems,the //65 /11110 高考快递·练习生 高中英语·必修第三册·RJ two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot.They are really blessed,Daylan said."The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star,but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits.So,we would like to understand the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution using this planetary system. Daylan added that it was a "win-win"to work with Pingle and Wright on the study."As a researcher,I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal bias(偏见)，”he said.“I also think it is very beneficial to high school students,since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career." 1.How did the two students identify the four planets? A.By helping Professor Tansu Daylan with the data. B.By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233. C.By studying Neptune,which exists in our solar system. D.By interacting with other young talented brains. 2.What can we learn about the discovery? A.It was independently made by two young students. B.It was made with a creative approach. C.It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan. D.It turned out that more than one planet was discovered at a time. 3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase "hitting the jackpot"in paragraph 5? A.Making a discovery difficultly. B.Achieving the goal easily. C.Succeeding in something luckily. D.Performing a task carefully. 4.According to the article,what benefit does the study bring? A.It allows scientists to work with young people without prejudice. B.It equips future astronomers with better research abilities. C.It provides more viewpoints,thus promoting more discoveries. D.It arouses students'interest in exploring the unknown universe. B 子主题2 最新款的宇航服语篇类型说明文词数 339 关键词 spacesuits Humans have been exploring the infinite abyss (beyond Earth's atmosphere.When astronauts explore the vast expanse of outer space,they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the freezing conditions of the universe. Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit,its design leading the masses to believe it's an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes.In fact,the spacesuit,which is made up of nearly a half dozen different components and can have up to 16 layers,is its own fully functioning spacecraft that takes 1661 UNIT 4 SPACE EXPLORATION hours to put on and requires help from one's colleagues The astronauts on the Artemis missions,NASA's next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon,will wear the latest spacesuit,called the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit,also known as xEMU,according to NASA. Each spacesuit has a portable life support system,which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and a carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature,remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts'health,said Richard Rhodes,the deputy director for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA.A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions. "When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon,they couldn't bend over and pick up a rock," said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke.Fortunately,spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves.The gloves are one of the most complicated parts of the spacesuit,said Cathleen Lewis,curator (of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. "Gloves are very difficult to design to be protective and also allow the manual dexterity (that astronauts need to do meaningful work,"she noted. The spacesuits will also be getting some upgrades for the latest lunar mission.Richard Rhodes's team is working on a spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer. 5.What can we learn about the spacesuit in Hollywood movies? A.It provides the most ideal design. B.It functions as a spacecraft of its own. C.It can be put on without too much difficulty. D.It can protect astronauts from the cold in space. 6.In what aspect does paragraph 4 mainly talk about the latest spacesuit? A.Its operating methods. B.Its components. C.Its existing problems. D.Its initial aims. 7.Why are the Apollo astronauts mentioned in the passage? A.To contrast the Apollo spacesuits with the latest one. B.To give an example of a successful space mission. C.To demonstrate the failure of the Apollo missions. D.To criticize the incompetence of the Apollo astronauts. 8.Which of the following best describes NASA's spacesuit for the next lunar mission? A.High-tech but impractical. B.Portable and mobile. C.Costly but well-received.

At school,Maya had to put up with classmates who made fun of her because they thought her dream was too big and impossible.They laughed at her for spending hours studying astronomy instead of engaging in more "realistic"activities.She faced doubts not only from her classmates but also from some members of her own family.They questioned her choices,pushing her to choose a more traditional job that would provide a good income and a better future. Maya,not discouraged by the doubts,worked hard in her studies.She ate books on astronomy, attended science camps,and found help from teachers.Maya's love for space grew stronger with each passing day,fueling her determination to overcome any difficulties in her path. As Maya approached her final year of high school,an opportunity arose-a well-known scholarship that offered a chance to study astrophysics at a famous university.Maya knew that this could be her ticket to achieving her dream. The scholarship selection process was strict,testing the related knowledge,skills,and talent.Maya poured countless hours into preparation,broadening her mind and improving her skills. When the day of the scholarship interview arrived,Maya faced a group of respected professors and experts in the field.Nervously,she answered their questions and shared her love for space exploration. Although the interview was challenging,Maya refused to let self-doubt consume her.Weeks turned into months as Maya awaited the scholarship results.Doubts and anxieties plagued (her mind,but she reminded herself of the importance of being strong. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式作答。 Finally,the day of the scholarship announcement arrived.
