Huang Yahui, a 40-year-old from Urumqi, Xinjiang, has been attracted by nature since childhood, a passion she developed in her 20s by taking part in adventurous outdoor activities.
Then in 2011, she chanced upon a life-changing opportunity to volunteer with a research team led by Ma Ming, a professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. That brief experience helped shape her future career.
Now, Huang is a full-time environmentalist of a nature preservation in Urumqi. Each year, she and her team cross Xinjiang’s forests and mountains, documenting wildlife—with a special focus on butterflies. Butterflies have a relatively simple body structure and are highly sensitive to slight climate changes. Therefore, changes in population structure, numbers and habits of butterflies can reflect regional climate changes. Huang said, “That’s the reason why I have developed a strong passion for butterflies.”
However, due to the high diversity of butterfly species, relying only on scientific researchers for butterfly observation is insufficient. According to Ma, ecological preservation organizations play a vital role in establishing butterfly observation networks. Over the years, Huang’s team has actively contributed to this effort. Her team has recorded more than 200 butterfly species, providing important data to local authorities.
Recently, Huang is working on a book about butterfly conservation that integrates (结合)the traditional culture of the 24 Chinese solar terms. “My goal is to help more people understand the importance of harmony between human and nature, and encourage efforts in protecting nature and biodiversity,” she said.
4 What inspired Huang’s environmental career?
A. Her parents’ influence. B. The professor’s suggestion.
C. A volunteer experience. D. Her passion for outdoor activities.
5. Why does Huang observe butterflies?
A. Because they have high medical value.
B. Because they have a simple body structure.
C. Because they are a target for preservation efforts.
D. Because they are an indicator of climate changes.
6. What do the underlined words “this effort” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Identifying rare species in the wild. B. Cooperating with government officials.
C. Creating systems to monitor butterfly. D. Studying regional variability of butterflies.
7. Which of the following words best describe Huang?
A. Committed and responsible. B. Intelligent and adaptable.
C. Observant and independent. D. Adventurous and pioneering.
C
The threat of language extinction isn’t new. But there are ways to save at-risk languages, as well. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural foundation — dance music — to inspire young Garifuna people to learn and share their native language.
Much of the Garifuna people’s history is passed down not just by words, but by song and dance, such as the jankunu. Elements of the Garifuna culture — including music, dance, and language — were listed as a UNESCO Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put for ward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unit e young Garifuna people to learn the language.
Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: it’s time to defend our culture. After multiple world tours and international music awards, “The Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map, and we are optimistic about it,” said Palacio. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide.
Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York. Increasingly, many Garifuna language lessons are now available online.
Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize. This famous staff helps elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music—a strategy borrowed by other language professors who teach Garifuna through songs.
Will music save the Garifuna language? Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road.
8. Why did artists plan to create songs entirely in Garifuna?
A. To save their language. B. To refresh their dance.
C. To gain international fame. D. To promote their music.
9. What can we infer about Palacio from paragraph 3?
A. He saved their language successfully.
B. He contributed to defending his country.
C. He played a crucial role in the movement.
D. He founded the most popular band at that time.
10. What can we learn from the examples in paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Music goes beyond boundaries. D. One person can make a difference to another.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of Garifuna language?
A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Pessimistic. D. Unconcerned.
D
With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process.
Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. However, a team led by Valantinas from Brown University analyzed data from Mars missions and suggested ferrihydrite (水铁矿) which forms quickly in cool water may be responsible for the redness rather than hematite.
The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples.
The study wasn’t focused on determining when exactly the substance formed. However, since ferrihydrite forms in cool water, it’s possible that it was created about 3 billion years ago, as opposed to when the planet was warmer and wetter millions of years before. “This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation,” Valantinas said. “The timing matches with a period when Mars was changing from its earlier, wetter state to its current desert environment.”
Now researchers are waiting for the samples on Mars to be brought back to earth. “Once we get these samples into the lab, we’ll be able to measure how much ferrihydrite the dust contains, and what this means for our understanding of the history of water,” said Valantinas.
12. What’s the popular theory?
A. Mars is a red planet. B. Hematite accounts for Mars’red color.
C. Water existed on Mars. D. Ferrihydrite was formed without water.
13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the previous idea?
A. By observing the activities on Mars.
B. By analyzing dust collected from Mars.
C. By comparing hematite and ferrihydrite.
D. By indicating the existence of ferrihydrite.
14. What makes the formation of ferrihydrite possible on Mars?
A. High pressure. B. Volcanic eruption.
C The lack of ice. D. The dry environment.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Red Planet Without Water B. Why Is Mars Red?
C. Volcanoes Shaped Mars’ Surface D. What Is Mars’ True Color?

(最近,黄亚慧的团队为正在写一本关于蝴蝶保护的书,书中融合了中国24节气的传统文化。‘我的目标是帮助更多的人了解人与自然和谐相处的重要性,并鼓励人们努力保护自然和生物多样性,’她说)”可知,黄亚慧的团队为多年来一直致力于蝴蝶观测与保护,并努力将传统文化与自然保护相结合,由此可推知,她是一个尽心尽力且有责任感的人。故选A。

The threat of language extinction isn’t new. But there are ways to save at-risk languages, as well. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural foundation — dance music — to inspire young Garifuna people to learn and share their native language.
Much of the Garifuna people’s history is passed down not just by words, but by song and dance, such as the jankunu. Elements of the Garifuna culture — including music, dance, and language — were listed as a UNESCO Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2001. Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put for ward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unit e young Garifuna people to learn the language.
Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: it’s time to defend our culture. After multiple world tours and international music awards, “The Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map, and we are optimistic about it,” said Palacio. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide.
Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York. Increasingly, many Garifuna language lessons are now available online.
Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize. This famous staff helps elementary and high schools in Belize teach the Garifuna culture and language through music—a strategy borrowed by other language professors who teach Garifuna through songs.
Will music save the Garifuna language? Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road.
8. Why did artists plan to create songs entirely in Garifuna?
A To save their language. B. To refresh their dance.
C. To gain international fame. D. To promote their music.
9. What can we infer about Palacio from paragraph 3?
A. He saved their language successfully.
B. He contributed to defending his country.
C. He played a crucial role in the movement.
D. He founded the most popular band at that time.
10. What can we learn from the examples in paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Music goes beyond boundaries. D. One person can make a difference to another.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of Garifuna language?
A Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Pessimistic. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了加里富纳人通过音乐和文化活动努力拯救濒危的加里富纳语。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Around the same time, Garifuna musicians and cultural activists put forward a plan: to create songs entirely in Garifuna to unite young Garifuna people to learn the language.(大约在同一时期,加里富纳音乐家和文化活动家提出了一项计划:创作完全用加里富纳语演唱的歌曲,以团结年轻的加里富纳人学习这门语言。)”可知,艺术家们计划创作完全用加里富纳语演唱的歌曲是为了拯救他们的语言。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Palacio, a leader in the cultural movement, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form the Garifuna Collective band in 2007.(帕拉西奥是这场文化运动的领袖,2007年,他召集了中美洲各地的加里富纳音乐家,组建了加里富纳集体乐队。)”以及“Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his songs, and the works of Garifuna musical activists across Central America, lit a cultural flame for Garifuna people worldwide.(尽管帕拉西奥于2008年去世,但他的歌曲,以及中美洲各地加里富纳音乐活动家的作品,为全球加里富纳人点燃了文化之火。)”可知,帕拉西奥是这场文化运动的领袖,为拯救加里富纳语做出了巨大贡献,由此可推断出,帕拉西奥在这场运动中发挥了关键作用。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Musician Lovell adopted the language at the age of 16 to follow in the footsteps of his favorite Garifuna musician and cultural revivalist. Lovell became part of a larger grassroots (基层) effort to teach the language in New York.(音乐家洛弗尔16岁时就学会了这种语言,以追随他最喜欢的加里富纳音乐家和文化复兴者的脚步。洛弗尔成为了在纽约教授这门语言的更大规模的基层努力的一部分。)”以及第五段中“Another set of musicians were inspired by Palacio’s message, such as the founders of Battle of the Drums, an international music competition in Belize.(另一组音乐家受到了帕拉西奥信息的启发,比如伯利兹国际音乐比赛“鼓之战”的创始人。)”可知,第四段和第五段主要讲述了洛弗尔和“鼓之战”的创始人受到帕拉西奥的影响,分别在纽约和伯利兹教授加里富纳语,由此可推断出,从第四段和第五段的例子中我们可以了解到一个人可以对另一个人产生影响。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Garifuna remains on UNESCO’s endangered language list which was last updated in 2010. It seems that this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road.(加里富纳语仍然在联合国教科文组织2010年最后一次更新的濒危语言名单上。看来这种复兴是一条漫长的、多代人的道路。)”可知,作者认为加里富纳语的复兴是一条漫长的、多代人的道路,由此可推断出,作者对加里富纳语的未来持不确定的态度。故选A。

With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process.
Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. However, a team led by Valantinas from Brown University analyzed data from Mars missions and suggested ferrihydrite (水铁矿) which forms quickly in cool water may be responsible for the redness rather than hematite.
The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples.
The study wasn’t focused on determining when exactly the substance formed. However, since ferrihydrite forms in cool water, it’s possible that it was created about 3 billion years ago, as opposed to when the planet was warmer and wetter millions of years before. “This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation,” Valantinas said. “The timing matches with a period when Mars was changing from its earlier, wetter state to its current desert environment.”
Now researchers are waiting for the samples on Mars to be brought back to earth. “Once we get these samples into the lab, we’ll be able to measure how much ferrihydrite the dust contains, and what this means for our understanding of the history of water,” said Valantinas.
12. What’s the popular theory?
A. Mars is a red planet. B. Hematite accounts for Mars’red color.
C. Water existed on Mars. D. Ferrihydrite was formed without water.
13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the previous idea?
A. By observing the activities on Mars.
B. By analyzing dust collected from Mars.
C. By comparing hematite and ferrihydrite.
D. By indicating the existence of ferrihydrite.
14. What makes the formation of ferrihydrite possible on Mars?
A. High pressure. B. Volcanic eruption.
C. The lack of ice. D. The dry environment.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Red Planet Without Water B. Why Is Mars Red?
C. Volcanoes Shaped Mars’ Surface D. What Is Mars’ True Color?
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对火星呈现红色的原因的新发现,推翻了之前认为赤铁矿导致火星变红的流行理论,提出水铁矿可能是火星呈现红色的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. (此前对火星上物质的分析仅基于航天器的观测,没有发现任何水的证据,这使得研究人员认为氧化铁一定是赤铁矿,赤铁矿通常是在数十亿年的干燥环境中形成的)”可知,之前的分析认为火星上的氧化铁是赤铁矿,赤铁矿通常在干燥的环境中形成,由此可知,流行的理论是赤铁矿导致了火星的红色。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples. (这项新研究首次将实验室方法与观测数据相结合,提供了证据。科学家们在实验室中重现了火星尘埃。研究小组使用了类似于轨道飞行器所采用的技术来分析尘埃。然后,科学家们将实验室数据与航天器数据进行了比较。研究表明,即使是火星上尘埃最多的地方也有富含水物质的证据,与实验室样本相比,水铁矿的存在与火星上的尘埃最为匹配,而不是赤铁矿)”可知,第三段中的实验表明火星上存在水铁矿,这与之前认为火星上只有赤铁矿的观念不同,由此可知,第三段中的实验通过表明水铁矿的存在来挑战了先前的观点。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation. (这是火星上火山活动的时期,可能导致了冰融化事件,为水铁矿的形成提供了有利条件)”可知,火星上的火山活动可能导致了冰融化事件,为水铁矿的形成提供了有利条件,由此可知,火山爆发使火星上水铁矿的形成成为可能。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process. (火星因其红色而被称为红色星球。现在,科学家们可能已经发现了这种红色的潜在来源,在此过程中推翻了一个流行的理论)”可知,文章主要介绍了科学家对火星呈现红色的原因的新发现,推翻了之前认为赤铁矿导致火星变红的流行理论,提出水铁矿可能是火星呈现红色的原因,由此可知,B项“火星为什么是红色的?”能够概括文章主要内容,适合作为标题。故选B。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查句子类型。句意:这四个属于英国的国家地区共同协作。分析句子结构,The four countries是主语,后面that引导一个定语从句,work是主句的谓语,together是状语。故选D项。
47. Circumstances/ changed / in 1933,/ when Hitler came to power in Germany.
A. 主+谓+状+宾从 B. 主+谓+状+定从
C. 主+谓+宾+定从 D. 主+谓+宾+状从
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查句子成分分析。句意:1933年,希特勒在德国掌权,情况发生了变化。分析句子可知,句子主干为“Circumstances changed in 1933”,结构是“主语(Circumstances)+谓语(changed)+ 时间状语(in 1933)”。逗号后“when Hitler came to power in Germany”是定语从句,修饰先行词“1933”,说明 1933 年发生的具体事件。因此整体结构为“主+谓 + 状+定从”。故选B项。
48. The new People’s Republic of China/ saw/ Dr. Lin Qiaozhi / playing a key role.
A. 主+谓+宾+状 B. 主+谓+间宾+直宾
C. 主+谓+宾+定 D. 主+谓+宾+宾补
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查句子成分。 句意:新中国见证了林巧稚博士发挥着关键作用。 The new People’s Republic of China是句子的主语,表示所描述动作的执行者,即“主”。 saw是谓语动词,意为“见证”,也就是“谓”。Dr. Lin Qiaozhi是宾语,是动作“saw”的对象,为“宾”。playing a key role是宾语补足语,用来补充说明宾语“Dr. Lin Qiaozhi”的状态或行为,即她“发挥着关键作用”,属于“宾补”。 根据对句子各部分结构的分析,该句子结构为“主 + 谓 + 宾 + 宾补”,故选D选项。
49. They / allow / visitors / who have never been to China / to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.
A. 主+谓+宾+定从+宾补 B. 主+谓+宾+状从+宾补
C. 主+谓+宾+定从+状 D. 主+谓+宾+宾从+状
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意:他们允许从未到过中国的游客亲身体验中国传统文化。主语为They“他们”;谓语为allow“允许”;宾语为visitors“游客”;定语从句who have never been to China“从未到过中国的”,修饰先行词visitors;宾语补足语为to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand“亲身体验中国传统文化”,该句结构为“主+谓+宾+定从+宾补”。故选A。
50. China / became / the third country in the world/ to independently send humans into space in 2003.
A. 主+谓+宾+宾补 B. 主+系+表+状
C. 主+系+表+定 D. 主+谓+宾+状
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意:2003年,中国成为世界上第三个独立将人类送入太空的国家。China是主语;became是系动词;the third country in the world是表语,其中the third country是中心词,in the world是后置定语,修饰country,说明是在世界范围内的排名;to independently send humans into space in 2003是不定式短语作定语,修饰名词短语the third country in the world,名词前有序数词修饰,其后用不定式作定语。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
51. There are countless articles telling us how the Internet has made our lives more _________(convenience).(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】convenient
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:有无数的文章告诉我们互联网如何使我们的生活更方便。此处作宾补,应用形容词convenient,表示“方便的”。故填convenient。
52. ______ (bear) in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Born
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:惠特克于1970年1月2日出生于美国,1988年开始在内华达大学学习音乐。句子主干成分完整,空处为非谓语,bear“生育”和Whitacre逻辑上是被动关系,因此用bear的过去分词形式,作状语,且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Born。
53. Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known ______ the “mother of ten thousand babies”, having delivered over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:尽管林巧稚从未结婚,但她被称为“万婴之母”,一生接生了5万多个婴儿。此处指她被称为“万婴之母”,be known as“被称为”,为固定短语。故填as。
54. However, while such disasters brought much sadness and ___________(disappoint), the desire to explore the universe did not die. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】disappointment
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:然而,尽管这些灾难带来了许多悲伤和失望,但探索宇宙愿望并没有消失。空处和sadness并列,需填名词disappointment,作宾语,表抽象概念,不可数。故填disappointment。
55. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), ________ research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a crucial new treatment for malaria. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予屠呦呦(共同获胜者),她的研究导致了青蒿素的发现,一种治疗疟疾的重要新疗法。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Tu Youyou,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作research的定语,意思是“屠呦呦的研究”,应使用具有所属关系的关系代词whose引导该定语从句。故填whose。
第三节(共2小题;每小题5分,满分10分)
根据提示,用英语完成句子翻译。
56. 风俗在节日中扮演重要角色,但有时也随时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播,有些传统可能会逐渐消失,而另一些传统则可能得以建立。(fade away) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和并列句。本句描述客观事实,用一般现在时;“风俗在节日中扮演重要角色”是主句,其中“风俗”是customs,“扮演重要角色”是play a significant role,“在节日中”是in festivals,即Customs play a significant role in festivals;“但有时也随时间而变化”是转折关系的并列句,“但”是but,“有时”是sometimes,“随时间”是over time,“变化”是change,即but sometimes they can change over time;“随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播”是with构成的介词短语作伴随状语,其中“随着”是with,“现代社会的发展”是the development of modern society,“新思想的传播”是the spread of new ideas,“有些传统可能会逐渐消失”是some traditions may fade away,其中“可能会”是may,“逐渐消失”是fade away,“而另一些传统则可能得以建立”是others may be established,其中“建立”establish与主语others为被动关系,应用被动语态。故翻译为Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established.
57. 探索太空已经在对抗世界饥饿的斗争中发挥了作用。它直接促成了如今环绕地球运行的众多卫星的诞生。(doing…做主语, result in) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in many satellites that now orbit Earth.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词做主语、时态、动词短语和定语从句。本句描述已经发生的事情,用现在完成时;“探索太空已经在对抗世界饥饿的斗争中发挥了作用”是第一个分局,其中“探索太空”用动名词短语Exploring space作主语,“已经发挥了作用”是has already made a difference,“在对抗世界饥饿的斗争中”是in the fight against world hunger,即Exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger;“它直接促成了如今环绕地球运行的众多卫星的诞生”是第二个分局,“它”是it,“直接促成”是has directly resulted in,“如今环绕地球运行的众多卫星”是the many satellites that now orbit Earth,其中that now orbit Earth是定语从句,修饰先行词satellites,即It has directly resulted in many satellites that now orbit Earth。结合其他汉语提示,故翻译为Exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth.
