Ⅳ.阅读理解 (2024·温州高一期中)For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be essential.Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it's possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil. The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement.“For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform，” explained Professor Rob Ferl.“It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that's already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil.“So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers？” Professor Ferl questioned. To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened.The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils.To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew.However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils.Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr.Stephen Elardo.“The moon is a very, very dry place，” he said.How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow­up studies. 1．What's the second paragraph mainly about? A．The significance of the findings. B．The plants grown in the lunar soil. C．The missions of future space exploration. D．The hope of setting up a lunar settlement. 2．Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment? A．Its genes are suitable for lunar soil. B．It has a long evolutionary history. C．It has been tested with lunar soil before. D．People have a good knowledge of its genes. 3．What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soil? A．They absorbed few nutrients. B．They didn't grow well enough. C．They grew slowly in the dark. D．They needed more water to grow bigger. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil B．Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil C．Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon D．Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家在月球土壤中种植植物的研究过程。 1．A　[解析]主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement.”可知，这一发现给人们带来了希望，人们希望在未来的太空任务中，植物可以在月球上生长，甚至使人类能够在月球上建立定居点。因此，本段主要介绍这项研究结果的意义。故选A。 2．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped.”可知，研究人员之所以选择拟南芥，是因为其已经完成全基因组测序。故选D。 3．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.”可知，在月球土壤中生长的一些植物较小，而另一些植物生长得更慢或大小差异更大。因此，研究人员发现月球土壤中的植物长得不好。故选B。 4．A　[解析]标题概括题。本文主要讲述了科学家在月球土壤中种植拟南芥的研究过程。所以A选项“科学家在月球土壤中种植植物”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 Ⅴ.七选五阅读 (2023·沧州高一期中) Benefits of Space Exploration On April 12，1961，the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space.The age of space exploration started that day.1.______？Well，the answer is simple.The benefits of space exploration，including medical，technological and economic benefits，are more than the dangers of it. ·Medical benefits 2．______．Analyzing the effects of zero­gravity on blood circulation(血液循环) led to many discoveries on how to prevent some types of heart failure.And the experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases. ·3.______ The space race has led to technological advancements in the shortest period of time，such as vacuum­sealed(真空密封的) food，fireproof materials and modern vacuum cleaners.4.______．Yet，we even don't know that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon.As you can see，it is important for us to keep pushing the limits of space exploration.Who knows what kind of new technologies could be developed that will make our lives easier in the future. ·Creation of STEM jobs Space exploration is one of the industries that require the largest percentage of STEM (Science，Technology，Engineering and Mathematics) jobs.A lot of those jobs are positions for engineers，data analysts，doctors，biologists and so on.Although these positions require highly qualified people to fill them，they are some of the highest­paid jobs in the market.5.______． A．Space tourism industry B．Development of new technologies C．Is exploring space a waste of time and money D．Today，we still use them in our daily lives E．So，the growing space industry creates high­paid jobs F．The medical benefits of space exploration reach every area of the human body G．Why should we spend so much time and money exploring dangerous environments 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了探索太空的好处。 1．G　[解析]根据空后“the answer is simple(答案很简单)”可推知，空处是一个问题，结合下文“The benefits of space exploration，including medical，technological and economic benefits，are more than the dangers of it.”可知，太空探索带来的好处远远大于它的危险。所以空处应该是在问为什么需要探索太空，G项“为什么我们要花这么多的时间和金钱去探索危险的环境”符合语境，其中关键词dangerous和空后dangers呼应。故选G。 2．F　[解析]根据小标题Medical benefits可知，本段主要介绍太空探索在医疗方面的好处，所以F项“太空探索的医学益处覆盖到人体的每个部分”符合语境，其中The medical benefits呼应标题。故选F。 3．B　[解析]根据小标题下的The space race has led to technological advancements in the shortest period of time可知，本段主要介绍了太空探索带来的科技上的进步，所以B项“新技术的发展”适合作本段的小标题。故选B。 4．D　[解析]根据空前句“The space race has led to technological advancements in the shortest period of time，such as vacuum­sealed food，fireproof materials and modern vacuum cleaners.”可知，太空竞赛在短时间内带来了科技进步，如真空密封食品、防火材料和现代真空吸尘器，所以D项“今天，我们仍然在日常生活中使用它们”能够承接上文，其中them代指上文提到的“vacuum­sealed food，fireproof materials and modern vacuum cleaners”。故选D。 5．E　[解析]根据本段内容可知，太空探索创造了高薪工作，空处是对前文的总结，故E项“因此，不断发展的太空产业创造了高薪工作”符合语境，空前关键词the highest­paid jobs呼应选项中的high­paid jobs。故选E。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
