For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone. Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts, each of whom had spent four to seven months in space. The team measured the 3-D structure of bone. They focused on the structure of the tibia (胫骨) and the lower-arm bone. The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times. What did they find through comparison of the pictures? Astronauts in space for less than six months regained their preflight bone strength after a year back on Earth. But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent hone loss in their tibias. That loss was equal to a decade of aging. The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. In fact, those arms can get a bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors. “Increasing weight-lifting exercises in space could help alleviate (缓解) bone loss in the legs,” says Steven Boyd, also in exercise scientist. “With longer spaceflight, we can expect bigger bone loss — and probably a bigger problem with recovery,” says physiologist Laurence Vico. “Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures, such as nutrition, to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.” 21．Why did Gabel’s team take pictures at different times? A．To offer evidence for their predictions. B．To show their respect for the astronauts. C．To compare the changes in the astronauts’ bones. D．To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts. 22．Which of the following may Gabel agree with? A．A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts. B．Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older. C．Astronauts can avoid bone loss through doing enough exercise. D．There is almost no difference in the astronauts’ lower-arm bones. 23．What can we conclude from this text? A．People on Earth never suffer bone loss. B．The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts. C．The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights. D．Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth. B The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March, 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 24．Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A．To find tasty foods for astronauts. B．To found a space food supply center. C．To develop a new source of space food. D．To attract astronauts to food exploration. 25．Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A．Future space missions lasting three years. B．Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C．Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D．Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 26．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A．Describing future space food. B．Showing solutions from competing companies. C．Introducing the current status of space food. D．Explaining the nutritional needs of space food. 27．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．Astronauts produce more space food. B．Space explorers face a lack of nutrition. C．New types of space foods are on the way. D．Future space missions last even longer. C Scientists say Europe’s Euclid space telescope has discovered a bright ring of light circling a nearby galaxy. The observed light is known as an Einstein ring. The Einstein ring was discovered in a well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505, about 590 million light-years from Earth. Astronomers have long known about the galaxy. So they were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before. Einstein rings are rare. They form when light from a distant galaxy is bent by the gravitational pull of a closer, massive galaxy, creating the illusion of a circular ring around the nearer galaxy. The Einstein ring gets its name from physicist Albert Einstein, who, predicted that light would bend around extremely massive objects in space. This is called, “gravitational lensing (引力透镜效应).” Gravitational lenses permit telescopes like Euclid to observe more distant and less-bright objects. In the latest project, researchers from Germany used data from Euclid to create a computer model to discover the Einstein ring. Euclid, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2023 for a six-year mission to study dark matter and dark energy. During Euclid’s early testing phase, team member Bruno Altieri first noticed signs of the Einstein ring. Later observations confirmed a nearly perfect ring, which was particularly exciting for researchers specializing in gravitational lensing. Lead study author Conor O’Riordan emphasized the significance of this discovery. Strong gravitational lenses like this are rare and incredibly useful scientifically. Since this Einstein ring is relatively close to Earth and well-positioned, it offers a unique opportunity for study. Using advanced modeling techniques, researchers analyzed the light from the ring and even examined raw telescope data for deeper insights. O’Riordan said the team’s modeling operations were just the first step in studying the newly discovered Einstein ring. He said the group plans to use the ring to also study “dark matter substructures” within the lensing galaxy. O’Riordan predicted, “Euclid is going to revolutionize the field, with all this data we’ve never had before.” 28．What surprised astronomers about the Einstein ring in NGC 6505? A．It was the first Einstein ring ever found. B．It appeared in a newly discovered galaxy. C．It had gone unnoticed in a well-studied galaxy. D．It was much closer to Earth than other Einstein rings. 29．What is the main purpose of the Euclid space telescope’s six-year mission? A．To study the formation of galaxies. B．To explore dark matter and dark energy. C．To search for new Einstein rings in the universe. D．To observe the gravitational effects of massive objects. 30．What’s a future research goal using the Einstein ring? A．Identifying new types of gravitational lenses. B．Measuring the exact distance between galaxies. C．Examining dark matter substructures in the lensing galaxy. D．Developing improved computer models for space observation 31．Which could be the most suitable title? A．Dark Matter Study Advances. B．New Galaxy Found Near Earth. C．Einstein’s Theory Proven Again. D．Euclid Detects Rare Einstein Ring. D Spaceflight can be a real headache-literally. Since the Apollo missions, astronauts have reported experiencing head pain while in space, even if they have never had headaches before on Earth. It seems that something about space travel sometimes causes severe or tension-type headaches. Although earlier reports were few and based on personal experience, a new study published in Neurology has new insights into it. Researchers analyzed data from 24 astronauts on space missions and reviewed health data from 42 others who had been in space before. They found nearly all astronauts experienced headaches in the initial seven days after entering space. “Almost every person surveyed in space suffered a headache during this time,” said co-author Ron van Oosterhout. This frequent occurrence makes sense to the researchers; after all, when the human body first enters microgravity, many strange things happen. Blood begins to pool in the trunk and head, resulting in facial swelling and sometimes vision problems. The fluid in the inner ear that helps us keep our balance is also disrupted by microgravity, inducing a loss of direction and motion sickness. Astronauts usually adapt to the microgravity environment quickly, and the discomfort typically disappears within a few days in space. However, this is not true for space headaches. According to the survey, 87% of the astronauts surveyed in space experienced repeated headaches throughout their mission. Although the exact cause remains unclear, researchers suspect that space headaches may come from increased pressure in the brain caused by the redistributed fluids in the astronaut’s body. As gravity weakens, bodily fluids shift from their usual locations and build up pressure in other areas. If this is indeed the cause, it would be consistent with a known condition called spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome(SANS) (太空飞行相关神经—眼综合征) , in which the fluid pressing on the back of the eye affects an astronaut’s vision. Ron van Oosterhout’s further study aims to link astronauts’ headache reports with their biological data. This research not only deepens our understanding of space science but also holds promise for improving headache treatment on Earth—just as van Oosterhout says, “I believe it will ultimately benefit people on Earth.” 32．What does the new study show about the space headache? A．It happens to few people. B．It usually lasts more than a month. C．It is quite a common phenomenon. D．It mostly happens during takeoff and landing. 33．What does the underlined word “inducing” mean in paragraph 3? A．Avoiding. B．Bringing on. C．Recovering. D．Resulting from. 34．Why does the author mention SANS in para-graph 5? A．To describe a way to treat vision problems. B．To prove the potential side effect of SANS. C．To support the idea that fluid shifts may cause headaches. D．To tell the difference between SANS and space headaches. 35．What is the author’s attitude toward van Oosterhout’s research? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Indifferent. D．Critical. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 75 years after humans successfully put their first object into space, it’s much easier to launch a satellite, but a lot messier once we’re up there.” 36 There are around 5000 satellites in orbit with fewer than half actually working. When a satellite stops functioning, it keeps orbiting at very high speeds, making a great threat for the useful ones. So space sustainability has become a big concern. 37 One suggested solution is to refuel the dead satellites and bring them back to life. Another concept is to use a robot with four arms to catch a dead satellite before pulling it into the atmosphere to burn it up. 38 Operating a robot from hundreds of miles away is tough. And the world hasn’t yet reached a consensus (共识) on why we should clear the space junk and there are no real rules that govern how we work out there. First why should we keep things clean in orbit? We use satellites to check the weather, find our way around, and for financial purposes. Space data gives us not just beautiful pictures of the earth, but also information about climate change, natural disasters and other things that can help humans with earthbound challenges. 39 Then how can we humans think as one big community? Governments should make powerful regulations. Companies ought to engage in shared practices and scientists are expected to think up practical methods. 40 Only in this way can we keep those orbital highways open for the next generation and beyond before they are deadly blocked by space junk. A．They provide services closely related to our life. B．This is hard both technically and politically, though. C．Anyway, we should quicken the pace of clearing up. D．Space is getting increasingly crowded and dangerous. E．So we depend largely on space and it needs to be tidied up. F．Scientists are struggling for strategies to tackle the problem. G．All of these have been integrated into the solutions we really need. 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For a little girl growing up in Colombia in the 1980s, a science career with NASA may have seemed like setting foot on a faraway planet. 41 , Diana Trujill has made it — she is a(n) 42 now, leading a 45-person team that’s responsible for the robotic arm of the latest Mars rover.

She had a dream — to become an astronaut and explore the vastness of space. However, many doubted her dream because they thought it was unrealistic for someone with their poor background. In this village, there was no one daring to have this dream which was beyond the wildest dream. However, Maya was not defeated by the doubt, she dedicated herself to her studies. She bought many volumes of books on astronomy from the faraway libraries. In the beginning, her parents just let go of her crazy passion, but gradually her efforts amazed them. With their support, she even tried to find opportunities online to attend science camps, and sought guidance from mentors (导师). Maya’s passion 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 famous scholarship that offered a chance to study astrophysics (天体物理学) at a famous university. Maya knew that this scholarship could be her ticket to achieving her dreams. The scholarship selection process was strict, testing candidates’ knowledge, skills, and talent. Maya poured countless hours into preparation, expanding her knowledge and improving her abilities. When the day of the scholarship interview arrived, Maya faced a group of professors and experts in the field. Nervously, she answered their questions and shared her passion for space exploration. Weeks turned into months as Maya awaited the scholarship results. Doubts and anxieties stuck in her mind, but she reminded herself of the importance of perseverance. She continued to believe in herself and her abilities, refusing to let setbacks define her journey. Finally, the day of the scholarship announcement arrived. Maya’s heart raced as the names were called one by one. As the last name echoed in the room, Maya’s heart sank — it wasn’t hers. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Disappointment washed over her, but she refused to let it stop her dreams. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Maya’s determination, the astronaut became her mentor, guiding her on a new journey. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Wow, so this is your tenth try.

C．Adjust nature through technology. 【答案】14．C 15．B 16．B 【原文】W: Professor Thompson, you have spent a lifetime studying nature. What do you think are the important things nature can tell us? M: Well, one thing is patience. Nature takes its time — plants don’t grow overnight. People can learn to be patient and consistent, even when progress seems slow. W: That’s very interesting. What else? M: Balance. In a forest, every living thing has a role to play, and they all work together to keep the ecosystem healthy. Humans could benefit from respecting the balance of the natural world. W: So, we should take our time and work together like nature does? M: Exactly. After all, we are part of nature and nature shows us that rushing can be harmful. For example, over-farming can damage the soil, but if we give the land time to recover, it stays good for longer. W: That makes sense. M: From patience and balance to respecting the environment, nature is a great teacher. If we observe it closely, we can improve how we live. W: Instead of trying to control nature, we should work in harmony with it. Not to bother is the best protection. M: Exactly. 听第10段材料，回答第17至20题。 17．How many materials are mentioned for mushroom coffee? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. 18．Why is mushroom coffee becoming more popular? A．It offers a healthier choice.

For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone. Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts, each of whom had spent four to seven months in space. The team measured the 3-D structure of bone. They focused on the structure of the tibia (胫骨) and the lower-arm bone. The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times. What did they find through comparison of the pictures? Astronauts in space for less than six months regained their preflight bone strength after a year back on Earth. But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent hone loss in their tibias. That loss was equal to a decade of aging. The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. In fact, those arms can get a bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors. “Increasing weight-lifting exercises in space could help alleviate (缓解) bone loss in the legs,” says Steven Boyd, also in exercise scientist. “With longer spaceflight, we can expect bigger bone loss — and probably a bigger problem with recovery,” says physiologist Laurence Vico. “Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures, such as nutrition, to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.” 21．Why did Gabel’s team take pictures at different times? A．To offer evidence for their predictions. B．To show their respect for the astronauts. C．To compare the changes in the astronauts’ bones. D．To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts. 22．Which of the following may Gabel agree with? A．A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts. B．Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older. C．Astronauts can avoid bone loss through doing enough exercise. D．There is almost no difference in the astronauts’ lower-arm bones. 23．What can we conclude from this text? A．People on Earth never suffer bone loss. B．The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts. C．The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights. D．Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth. 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了太空旅行对宇航员骨骼的影响。研究显示，宇航员在太空六个月以上会遭受相当于20年衰老的骨质损失，但重返地球一年能恢复一半。长期驻留太空会导致胫骨永久损伤，而非负重的手臂骨质损失较少。专家建议加强太空锻炼和采取营养措施以应对骨质流失问题。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times.(研究人员在宇航员从太空返回地球的六个月和一年后分别对这些骨头拍摄了三次照片。从这些照片中，加贝尔的团队计算出宇航员在每个时间的骨骼强度和密度。)”可知，研究人员对宇航员从太空返回地球后的不同时间段的骨头拍摄了三次照片，进而对宇航员每个时间的骨骼强度和密度进行计算，结合第三段中的“What did they find through comparison of the pictures?(通过对比图片，他们发现了什么？)”可知，研究人员对这些图片进行比对来发现宇航员骨骼的变化，由此可知，研究团队选取不同时间拍摄的照片是为了比较宇航员骨骼的变化。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. (小臂骨几乎没有损失。加贝尔解释说，这很可能是因为在地球上时小臂不用承重。)”可知，加贝尔应该同意“小臂骨几乎没有什么变化”这一观点。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据首段中的“Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.(幸运的是，一项新的研究发现，回到地球一年后，受影响的骨骼中失去的力量有一半得到了重建。)”可知，一项新的研究发现，宇航员们回到地球之后受影响的骨骼有所修复，因此这对宇航员来说应该是一个好消息。故选B。 B The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March, 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 24．Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A．To find tasty foods for astronauts. B．To found a space food supply center. C．To develop a new source of space food. D．To attract astronauts to food exploration. 25．Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A．Future space missions lasting three years. B．Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C．Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D．Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 26．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A．Describing future space food. B．Showing solutions from competing companies. C．Introducing the current status of space food. D．Explaining the nutritional needs of space food. 27．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．Astronauts produce more space food. B．Space explorers face a lack of nutrition. C．New types of space foods are on the way. D．Future space missions last even longer. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文为说明文，主要讲述NASA启动“深空食物挑战”计划以开发可持续太空食物，并介绍参赛公司的创新解决方案。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions.(为了解决长期任务中宇航员的饮食问题，美国航天局于2022年1月启动了深空食品挑战赛，要求公司为未来的任务提出开发可持续食品的新方法。)”可知，该挑战旨在开发新的太空食物来源。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts.(所有团队都必须展示可以运行三年的系统，并在未来的太空任务中为四名机组人员提供食物。这些提议不需要提供宇航员的全部饮食，但他们确实需要为宇航员创造各种营养食品。)”可知，获胜要求是提供可持续的营养食物供应。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. (一家公司对这项任务采取了令人难以置信的不同寻常的方法。总部位于纽约的航空公司设计了一种系统，可以利用宇航员在太空中呼出的二氧化碳来生产酒精，然后将酒精喂给酵母，生产出“适合食用的东西”。)”描述利用二氧化碳生产食物的方法，第五段“Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space.(它的系统被称为NUCLEUS，是一组小胶囊。每个都是独立的，有自己的温度、浇水系统等。这将允许种植不同的蔬菜，这样宇航员就可以在太空中轻松种植自己的食物。)”描述NUCLEUS种植系统可知，两段均以具体案例展示参赛公司的创新方案。从而推知两段焦点是展示解决方案。故选B。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food.(太空食品的未来可能是简单而奇怪的。几十年来，宇航员在外太空访问期间主要依靠预包装食品或偶尔种植的蔬菜。随着地球轨道以外任务的临近，美国国家航空航天局领导的一项竞赛希望改变这一切，开启可持续太空食品的新时代。)”和最后一段“While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. (虽然深太空食品挑战赛的获奖想法不会立即被宇航员使用，但它们展示了未来任务的可能性。)”可知，全文围绕NASA挑战开发新型可持续太空食物展开，强调创新方法正在推进。C项“新型太空食品即将问世”概括这一核心主题，适合用作标题。故选C。 C Scientists say Europe’s Euclid space telescope has discovered a bright ring of light circling a nearby galaxy. The observed light is known as an Einstein ring. The Einstein ring was discovered in a well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505, about 590 million light-years from Earth. Astronomers have long known about the galaxy. So they were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before. Einstein rings are rare. They form when light from a distant galaxy is bent by the gravitational pull of a closer, massive galaxy, creating the illusion of a circular ring around the nearer galaxy. The Einstein ring gets its name from physicist Albert Einstein, who, predicted that light would bend around extremely massive objects in space. This is called, “gravitational lensing (引力透镜效应).” Gravitational lenses permit telescopes like Euclid to observe more distant and less-bright objects. In the latest project, researchers from Germany used data from Euclid to create a computer model to discover the Einstein ring. Euclid, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2023 for a six-year mission to study dark matter and dark energy. During Euclid’s early testing phase, team member Bruno Altieri first noticed signs of the Einstein ring. Later observations confirmed a nearly perfect ring, which was particularly exciting for researchers specializing in gravitational lensing. Lead study author Conor O’Riordan emphasized the significance of this discovery. Strong gravitational lenses like this are rare and incredibly useful scientifically. Since this Einstein ring is relatively close to Earth and well-positioned, it offers a unique opportunity for study. Using advanced modeling techniques, researchers analyzed the light from the ring and even examined raw telescope data for deeper insights. O’Riordan said the team’s modeling operations were just the first step in studying the newly discovered Einstein ring. He said the group plans to use the ring to also study “dark matter substructures” within the lensing galaxy. O’Riordan predicted, “Euclid is going to revolutionize the field, with all this data we’ve never had before.” 28．What surprised astronomers about the Einstein ring in NGC 6505? A．It was the first Einstein ring ever found. B．It appeared in a newly discovered galaxy. C．It had gone unnoticed in a well-studied galaxy. D．It was much closer to Earth than other Einstein rings. 29．What is the main purpose of the Euclid space telescope’s six-year mission? A．To study the formation of galaxies. B．To explore dark matter and dark energy. C．To search for new Einstein rings in the universe. D．To observe the gravitational effects of massive objects. 30．What’s a future research goal using the Einstein ring? A．Identifying new types of gravitational lenses. B．Measuring the exact distance between galaxies. C．Examining dark matter substructures in the lensing galaxy. D．Developing improved computer models for space observation 31．Which could be the most suitable title? A．Dark Matter Study Advances. B．New Galaxy Found Near Earth. C．Einstein’s Theory Proven Again. D．Euclid Detects Rare Einstein Ring. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．C 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了欧洲的欧几里得太空望远镜在距离地球约 5.9 亿光年的星系 NGC 6505 中发现了一个罕见的爱因斯坦环。文章介绍了爱因斯坦环形成的原理，发现的过程以及其对于研究暗物质等方面的意义和未来研究目标。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段“The Einstein ring was discovered in a well-studied galaxy called NGC 6505, about 590 million light-years from Earth. Astronomers have long known about the galaxy. So they were surprised that the bright ring had not been identified before.(爱因斯坦环是在一个被充分研究的星系NGC 6505中发现的，它距离地球大约5.9亿光年。天文学家早就知道这个星系。所以他们很惊讶这个明亮的环之前没有被发现过)” 可知，天文学家惊讶于这个爱因斯坦环在一个被充分研究的星系中一直未被注意到。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段“Euclid, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2023 for a six - year mission to study dark matter and dark energy.(由欧洲航天局（ESA）操作的欧几里得太空望远镜于 2023 年发射，进行为期六年的任务，以研究暗物质和暗能量)” 可知，欧几里得太空望远镜六年任务的主要目的是探索暗物质和暗能量。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“He said the group plans to use the ring to also study “dark matter substructures” within the lensing galaxy.(他说该团队计划利用这个环来研究透镜星系内的“暗物质子结构”)” 可知，利用这个爱因斯坦环未来的一个研究目标是研究透镜星系内的暗物质子结构。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了欧洲的欧几里得太空望远镜在距离地球约 5.9 亿光年的星系 NGC 6505 中发现了一个罕见的爱因斯坦环，介绍了爱因斯坦环形成的原理，发现的过程以及其对于研究暗物质等方面的意义和未来研究目标。所以短文的最佳标题为“欧几里得探测到罕见的爱因斯坦环”。故选D。 D Spaceflight can be a real headache-literally. Since the Apollo missions, astronauts have reported experiencing head pain while in space, even if they have never had headaches before on Earth. It seems that something about space travel sometimes causes severe or tension-type headaches. Although earlier reports were few and based on personal experience, a new study published in Neurology has new insights into it. Researchers analyzed data from 24 astronauts on space missions and reviewed health data from 42 others who had been in space before. They found nearly all astronauts experienced headaches in the initial seven days after entering space. “Almost every person surveyed in space suffered a headache during this time,” said co-author Ron van Oosterhout. This frequent occurrence makes sense to the researchers; after all, when the human body first enters microgravity, many strange things happen. Blood begins to pool in the trunk and head, resulting in facial swelling and sometimes vision problems. The fluid in the inner ear that helps us keep our balance is also disrupted by microgravity, inducing a loss of direction and motion sickness. Astronauts usually adapt to the microgravity environment quickly, and the discomfort typically disappears within a few days in space. However, this is not true for space headaches. According to the survey, 87% of the astronauts surveyed in space experienced repeated headaches throughout their mission. Although the exact cause remains unclear, researchers suspect that space headaches may come from increased pressure in the brain caused by the redistributed fluids in the astronaut’s body. As gravity weakens, bodily fluids shift from their usual locations and build up pressure in other areas. If this is indeed the cause, it would be consistent with a known condition called spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome(SANS) (太空飞行相关神经—眼综合征) , in which the fluid pressing on the back of the eye affects an astronaut’s vision. Ron van Oosterhout’s further study aims to link astronauts’ headache reports with their biological data. This research not only deepens our understanding of space science but also holds promise for improving headache treatment on Earth—just as van Oosterhout says, “I believe it will ultimately benefit people on Earth.” 32．What does the new study show about the space headache? A．It happens to few people. B．It usually lasts more than a month. C．It is quite a common phenomenon. D．It mostly happens during takeoff and landing. 33．What does the underlined word “inducing” mean in paragraph 3? A．Avoiding. B．Bringing on. C．Recovering. D．Resulting from. 34．Why does the author mention SANS in para-graph 5? A．To describe a way to treat vision problems. B．To prove the potential side effect of SANS. C．To support the idea that fluid shifts may cause headaches. D．To tell the difference between SANS and space headaches. 35．What is the author’s attitude toward van Oosterhout’s research? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Indifferent. D．Critical. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．C 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述太空飞行中宇航员头痛的普遍现象、可能原因及其研究意义。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“They found nearly all astronauts experienced headaches in the initial seven days after entering space. ‘Almost every person surveyed in space suffered a headache during this time,’(他们发现几乎所有宇航员在进入太空的最初七天内都经历了头痛。‘几乎每个接受调查的宇航员在这段时间内都头痛过，’)”可知，太空头痛是一种普遍现象。故选C。 33．词句猜测题。根据第三段“The fluid in the inner ear that helps us keep our balance is also disrupted by microgravity, inducing a loss of direction and motion sickness.(内耳的液体也会被微重力干扰，inducing方向感丧失和晕动病)”可知，微重力对内耳液体的干扰会引发不良后果。所以inducing意为“导致、引起”，与B项释义一致。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段“If this is indeed the cause, it would be consistent with a known condition called spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome(SANS) (太空飞行相关神经—眼综合征) , in which the fluid pressing on the back of the eye affects an astronaut’s vision.(如果这确实是原因，那么它与已知的太空飞行相关神经——眼综合征（SANS）一致，在这种疾病中，压在眼睛后部的液体会影响宇航员的视力。)”可知，作者提及SANS是为了支持“体液转移可能导致头痛” 的观点，通过类比SANS中体液压迫眼睛的机制，说明头痛可能由类似的体液压力变化引起。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This research not only deepens our understanding of space science but also holds promise for improving headache treatment on Earth—just as van Oosterhout says, ‘I believe it will ultimately benefit people on Earth.’(这项研究不仅加深了我们对太空科学的理解，还有望改善地球上的头痛治疗 —— 正如van Oosterhout所说，‘我相信它最终会造福地球上的人们。’)”可知，作者认为该研究具有科学价值和实际意义，对其持支持态度。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 75 years after humans successfully put their first object into space, it’s much easier to launch a satellite, but a lot messier once we’re up there.” 36 There are around 5000 satellites in orbit with fewer than half actually working. When a satellite stops functioning, it keeps orbiting at very high speeds, making a great threat for the useful ones. So space sustainability has become a big concern. 37 One suggested solution is to refuel the dead satellites and bring them back to life. Another concept is to use a robot with four arms to catch a dead satellite before pulling it into the atmosphere to burn it up. 38 Operating a robot from hundreds of miles away is tough. And the world hasn’t yet reached a consensus (共识) on why we should clear the space junk and there are no real rules that govern how we work out there. First why should we keep things clean in orbit? We use satellites to check the weather, find our way around, and for financial purposes. Space data gives us not just beautiful pictures of the earth, but also information about climate change, natural disasters and other things that can help humans with earthbound challenges. 39 Then how can we humans think as one big community? Governments should make powerful regulations. Companies ought to engage in shared practices and scientists are expected to think up practical methods. 40 Only in this way can we keep those orbital highways open for the next generation and beyond before they are deadly blocked by space junk. A．They provide services closely related to our life. B．This is hard both technically and politically, though. C．Anyway, we should quicken the pace of clearing up. D．Space is getting increasingly crowded and dangerous. E．So we depend largely on space and it needs to be tidied up. F．Scientists are struggling for strategies to tackle the problem. G．All of these have been integrated into the solutions we really need. 【答案】36．D 37．F 38．B 39．E 40．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述太空垃圾现状以及呼吁全球一致共同清除。 36．由后文“There are around 5000 satellites in orbit with fewer than half actually working. When a satellite stops functioning, it keeps orbiting at very high speeds, making a great threat for the useful ones.(大约有5000颗卫星在轨道上运行，实际运行的卫星不到一半。当一颗卫星停止运行时，它会以非常高的速度运行，对有用的卫星构成巨大威胁。)”可知，这里主要讲没用的卫星成了垃圾威胁其它有用卫星。而D项Space is getting increasingly crowded and dangerous.(太空越来越拥挤和危险。)符合语境，其中 dangerous与下文a great threat对应。故选D项。 37．由后文“One suggested solution is to refuel the dead satellites and bring them back to life. Another concept is to use a robot with four arms to catch a dead satellite before pulling it into the atmosphere to burn it up.(一个建议的解决方案是给死去的卫星加油，让它们复活。另一个概念是用一个有四个手臂的机器人抓住一颗死卫星，然后把它拖到大气中烧掉。)”可知，后文在讲解决太空中垃圾的方案。而F项Scientists are struggling for strategies to tackle the problem.(科学家们正在努力寻找解决这个问题的策略。)符合语境，其中strategies和后文One suggested solution 对应。故选F项。 38．由后文“Operating a robot from hundreds of miles away is tough. And the world hasn’t yet reached a consensus on why we should clear the space junk and there are no real rules that govern how we work out there.(在数百英里外操作机器人是很困难的。世界还没有就我们为什么要清理太空垃圾达成共识，也没有真正的规则来指导我们如何在那里工作。)”可知，后文主要讲清理垃圾在技术和政治上面的困难。而B项This is hard both technically and politically, though.(但这在技术上和政治上都很困难。)符合语境，其中technically和Operating a robot以及politically和the world hasn’t yet reached a consensus 对应。故选B项。 39．由上文“Space data gives us not just beautiful pictures of the earth, but also information about climate change, natural disasters and other things that can help humans with earthbound challenges.(太空数据不仅为我们提供了地球的美丽图片，还提供了有关气候变化、自然灾害和其他可以帮助人类应对地球挑战的信息。)”可知，这里主要讲太空数据对我们的用处。而E项So we depend largely on space and it needs to be tidied up.(因此，我们在很大程度上依赖于空间，需要对其进行整理。)符合语境，其中we depend largely on space有承上作用，it needs to be tidied up有启下作用。故选E项。 40．由前文“Then how can we humans think as one big community? Governments should make powerful regulations. Companies ought to engage in shared practices and scientists are expected to think up practical methods.(那么，我们人类怎么能作为一个大社区来思考呢？政府应该制定强有力的法规。公司应该参与共同的实践，科学家应该想出切实可行的方法。)”可知，这里主要从几方面讲我们人类应该怎样做来清理太空垃圾。而G项All of these have been integrated into the solutions we really need.(所有这些都已整合到我们真正需要的解决方案中。)符合语境，其中All of these 与上文的几方面措施对应。故选G项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For a little girl growing up in Colombia in the 1980s, a science career with NASA may have seemed like setting foot on a faraway planet. 41 , Diana Trujill has made it — she is a(n) 42 now, leading a 45-person team that’s responsible for the robotic arm of the latest Mars rover.

She had a dream — to become an astronaut and explore the vastness of space. However, many doubted her dream because they thought it was unrealistic for someone with their poor background. In this village, there was no one daring to have this dream which was beyond the wildest dream. However, Maya was not defeated by the doubt, she dedicated herself to her studies. She bought many volumes of books on astronomy from the faraway libraries. In the beginning, her parents just let go of her crazy passion, but gradually her efforts amazed them. With their support, she even tried to find opportunities online to attend science camps, and sought guidance from mentors (导师). Maya’s passion 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 famous scholarship that offered a chance to study astrophysics (天体物理学) at a famous university. Maya knew that this scholarship could be her ticket to achieving her dreams. The scholarship selection process was strict, testing candidates’ knowledge, skills, and talent. Maya poured countless hours into preparation, expanding her knowledge and improving her abilities. When the day of the scholarship interview arrived, Maya faced a group of professors and experts in the field. Nervously, she answered their questions and shared her passion for space exploration. Weeks turned into months as Maya awaited the scholarship results. Doubts and anxieties stuck in her mind, but she reminded herself of the importance of perseverance. She continued to believe in herself and her abilities, refusing to let setbacks define her journey. Finally, the day of the scholarship announcement arrived. Maya’s heart raced as the names were called one by one. As the last name echoed in the room, Maya’s heart sank — it wasn’t hers. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Disappointment washed over her, but she refused to let it stop her dreams. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Maya’s determination, the astronaut became her mentor, guiding her on a new journey. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】       Disappointment washed over her, but she refused to let it stop her dreams. Although the interview was a failure, Maya refused to let self-doubt consume her. Her parents also comforted her that they would try their best to sponsor her further education without the scholarship.With firm determination, Maya kept learning and meanwhile, sought alternative paths. She reached out to professors, connected with concerned professionals, and explored other opportunities in the field of space exploration. Maya’s toughness and perseverance attracted the attention of a famous astronaut who recognized her passion and potential. Moved by Maya’s determination, the astronaut became her mentor, guiding her on a new journey. Maya gained hands-on experience, participated in research projects, and immersed herself in the world of space exploration. Years passed, and Maya’s perseverance paid off. She became an accomplished astrophysicist and, eventually, realized her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. Maya went into space and stared at the earth from above, feeling excited about her great achievements. When looking back all the skepticism and setbacks, she felt they were no longer roadblocks but opportunities for growth. One can achieve extraordinary heights by staying committed to dreams, and persisting in the face of obstacles. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述少女玛雅生活在偏远村庄，怀揣成为宇航员探索太空的梦想，虽遭质疑，但未放弃，努力学习，在父母支持下通过多种方式提升自己。高中最后一年，她争取著名奖学金，积极备考面试。然而，最终奖学金公布，她未能如愿。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“失望笼罩着她，但她拒绝让这阻挡自己的梦想。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 玛雅虽面试失利，但未放弃梦想，在父母支持下坚持探索，其坚韧吸引了著名宇航员关注。 ②由第二段首句内容“被玛雅的决心所打动，这位宇航员成为了她的导师，引领她踏上新征程。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：宇航员被玛雅决心打动成为其导师，玛雅历经努力实现梦想，她视挫折为成长机遇。 2.续写线索：面试失利——未放弃梦想——坚持探索——被著名宇航员关注并教导——实现梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝： refuse/decline ②获得：gain/obtain/acquire ③参加： participate in/take part in/join 品质类 ①坚定的：firm/committed/unwavering ②韧性：toughness/perseverance 【点睛】[高分句型1]Maya’s toughness and perseverance attracted the attention of a famous astronaut who recognized her passion and potential.（运用了who引导的定语从句） [高分句型2]Maya went into space and stared at the earth from above, feeling excited about her great achievements. （运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型3]When looking back all the skepticism and setbacks, she felt they were no longer roadblocks but opportunities for growth. （运用了状语从句的省略和省略that的宾语从句） 25 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司zxxk.com 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
