(2025·四川省宜宾市叙州区高三一模)After decades of exploring the moon, a dramatic vision is finally becoming reality. The Guardian recently reported that a project called Lunar Codex is planning to send and store over 30，000 works on the moon from artists, writers, filmmakers, and musicians from over 150 countries and regions. The goods to be stored range from novels and paintings to music, films, and even soil from the Earth.

  According to Artnet, the only rule for acceptance for these works is that they must have been pre­curated (预先策划) by a professional known to Samuel Peralta, the leader of the project.

  Speaking with The New York Times, Peralta said that the aim of the project is to create “a message in the bottle for the fixture”， showing that “during this time of war and economic crisis, people still found time to create beauty”．

In fact, this is not the first time that people have tried sending human legacies (遗产) to outer space. In 1969, the Apollo 12 mission carried a ceramic piece with drawings. In 1971, the Apollo 15 staff left a sculpture to honor those who had died in space exploration. What's more famous is the Golden Record carried by spacecraft Voyager 1 and 2 from NASA in 1977, which contains human language, music and images. For example, a piece of Chinese guqin music, called Flowing Streams was included in it.

  Although we don't know who determines which symbols of human legacy get sent out to space in most projects, it's obvious that the criteria keep changing. In the past, space heritage products only focused on space­related works; but gradually, more human­related contemporary goods which held great importance in their respective eras have been added to the list. In the Lunar Codex, films, diverse art and literary works produced by women, disabled artists, and even AI have been collected for the first time to be sent to the moon.

  These changing criteria also leave space for ordinary people to imagine and think. Many people are now trying to store their DNA information digitally. Will people be able to find even more surprising and inventive ways to preserve their legacy in the future? Only time can tell.

1．What is the goal of the project?

A．To make the moon livable.

B．To show respect to artists.

C．To preserve the existing beauty.

D．To continue the work of Voyager 2.

答案：C

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Guardian recently reported ... over 150 countries and regions.”可知，此次活动的目的是将现存的一些美好的东西进行保存，即保存现存的美。故选C。

2．Why does the author mention the missions in 1969, 1971 and 1977?

A．To explain the missions are important.

B．To complain people explored outer space not so often.

C．To show Chinese culture was included gradually.

D．To prove people have been delivering legacies to the moon.

答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In fact, this is not ... human legacies (遗产) to outer space.”可知，这并不是人类第一次尝试将人类遗产送往外太空，接着后文就这一论断进行了举例，由此可推知，提到1969年、1971年和1977年任务的目的是证明人类一直在向月球运送遗产。故选D。

3．What does the change of the criteria reflect?

A．Human civilization is inclusive.

B．People don't care about space­related works.

C．Women's position has been improved.

D．People take AI seriously.

答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，随着标准的不断变化，越来越多与人类有关的、在各自时代具有重要意义的当代商品被加入了送往太空的人类遗产名单。由此可推知，人类文明是包容的。故选A。

4．Where can you find the article?

A．A brochure.   B．A magazine.

C．An advertisement.   D．A poster.

答案：B

解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要与月球探索有关，由此可推知，文章有可能出自一本与月球探索有关的杂志。故选B。
