To travel in space, we first have to work out where our food will come from. Today’s space travelers don’t go to the Moon or Mars. They go to the International Space Station (ISS). There, the spacemen live for weeks to months. If you visited the ISS years ago, nearly every kind of food you ate would have come from the Earth. In 2014, scientists sent the ISS a space garden with some vegetable seeds (种子). With water and some light, the vegetables in the garden grew. Those were the first foods being grown on the ISS. But the spacemen couldn’t eat them and had to send them back to the Earth. The next year, after scientists made sure they were safe, the spacemen grew a second crop. This time the vegetables were ready for the spacemen to eat. Gardening is different in space than it is on Earth. Without gravity, plants don’t know which way is up. But they learn how to grow. They send their leaves in the direction of light and their roots into the soil. While the space garden is small for now, hopefully it could one day help provide people with food on long-time space trips. 1. Years ago, where did most of the food on the ISS come from? A. The Mars. B. The Earth. C. The Moon. D. The space garden. 2. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The vegetables. B. The spacemen. C. The scientists. D. The water and light. 3. How do the plants in the space garden grow without gravity? A. They cannot grow up at all B. They grow in all directions. C. They grow in the direction of light. D. They grow in the direction of the Earth. 4. What can we know about the space garden for the future? A. It will help to clean up space rubbish. B. It will be a fun place for space tourists. C. It will make us need less food from Earth. D. It will teach us about how plants grow in space 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The challenge of space travel. B. The history of space exploration. C. The daily life of spacemen on the ISS. D. The development of space gardens for food. 【参考答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. C 5. D 【导语】本文主要介绍了国际太空站上太空花园的发展和对未来的影响。 1. 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you visited the ISS years ago, nearly every kind of food you ate would have come from the Earth.”可知，如果你好些年前参观国际太空站，基本上你吃到的各种食物都来自地球，故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据文中“With water and some light, the vegetables in the garden grew. Those were the first foods being grown on the ISS. But the spacemen couldn't eat them and had to send them back to the Earth.”可知，太空站种出来的第一批食物，宇航员不会吃它们，必须把它们带回地球，故划线单词them指代“种出来的蔬菜”，故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据文中“Without gravity, plants don’t know which way is up. But they learn how to grow. They send their leaves in the direction of light and their roots into the soil.”可知，它们的叶子朝着光的方向长，且它们的根扎向土壤，故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据“While the space garden is small for now, hopefully it could one day help provide people with food on long-time space trips.”可知，作者希望太空花园能为长期太空旅行提供食物，故推断出它在减少地球提供的食物。故选C。 5. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了国际太空站上太空花园的发展和对未来的影响。故选D。 Passage 2 （2024-2025七年级上·深圳·期末）Now, let me tell you more about astronauts.

We use them to launch spaceships into space or to shoot fireworks into the sky. How Rockets Work Rockets work by burning fuel (燃烧燃料). When the fuel burns, it produces a very hot gas. This gas shoots (射出) out of the back of the rocket and pushes it forward. History The Chinese were the first to make rockets, back in the 1200s. They filled bamboos with a special kind of powder (火药). This powder burnt very quickly and produced enough gas to shoot the rocket into the air. Later, in the 1700s, people started making rockets out of metal (金属). In the late 1800s, a Russian scientist, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, was the first person to design a liquid (液体的) fuel rocket, but he didn’t build one. An American engineer named Robert Goddard was the first person to do this in 1925. In 1957, the Soviet Union (苏联) used a rocket to launch the world’s first space satellite, Sputnik. Since then, many countries have used rockets to send things into space. 1. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain how rockets help people. B. To describe the history of rockets and how they work. C. To provide information about different types of rockets. D. To discuss the history and influence of space exploration. 2. What happens when the fuel in a rocket burns? A. It creates a cool gas and the gas pushes the rocket upward. B. It creates a cold gas and the gas pushes the rocket forward. C. It creates a cool or hot gas and the gas pushes the rocket upward. D. It creates a hot gas and the gas pushes the rocket forward. 3. When did the Chinese first make rockets? A. In the 1200s. B. In the 1700s. C. In the 1800s. D. In the 1900s. 4. What did the Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky do in the late 1800s? A. He built the first rocket. B. He wrote down ideas about space travel. C. He launched the first space satellite. D. He designed the first liquid fuel rocket. 5. When did Robert Goddard build the first rocket that used liquid fuel? A. In 1957. B. In the 1700s. C. In the 1200s. D. In 1925. 【参考答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 4. D 5.

To travel in space, we first have to work out where our food will come from. Today’s space travelers don’t go to the Moon or Mars. They go to the International Space Station (ISS). There, the spacemen live for weeks to months. If you visited the ISS years ago, nearly every kind of food you ate would have come from the Earth. In 2014, scientists sent the ISS a space garden with some vegetable seeds (种子). With water and some light, the vegetables in the garden grew. Those were the first foods being grown on the ISS. But the spacemen couldn’t eat them and had to send them back to the Earth. The next year, after scientists made sure they were safe, the spacemen grew a second crop. This time the vegetables were ready for the spacemen to eat. Gardening is different in space than it is on Earth. Without gravity, plants don’t know which way is up. But they learn how to grow. They send their leaves in the direction of light and their roots into the soil. While the space garden is small for now, hopefully it could one day help provide people with food on long-time space trips. 1. Years ago, where did most of the food on the ISS come from? A. The Mars. B. The Earth. C. The Moon. D. The space garden. 2. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The vegetables. B. The spacemen. C. The scientists. D. The water and light. 3. How do the plants in the space garden grow without gravity? A. They cannot grow up at all B. They grow in all directions. C. They grow in the direction of light. D. They grow in the direction of the Earth. 4. What can we know about the space garden for the future? A. It will help to clean up space rubbish. B. It will be a fun place for space tourists. C. It will make us need less food from Earth. D. It will teach us about how plants grow in space 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. The challenge of space travel. B. The history of space exploration. C. The daily life of spacemen on the ISS. D. The development of space gardens for food. Passage 2 （2024-2025七年级上·深圳·期末）Now, let me tell you more about astronauts. More than 500 people have been in space. The first man in space was Yuri Gagarin. He flew into space in 1961. His spaceship was just big enough for one person. John Glenn went to space again in 1998 at the age of 77. He was the oldest man to fly in space. Space isn’t just for men. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova. The first moon landing was made by Neil Armstrong in 1969. He said, “One small step for a man, one giant leap (跨越) for mankind.” Yang Liwei became the first Chinese man in space in 2003. He circled the earth 14 times, all within 21 hours, 22 minutes and 45 seconds. “A small step in space is a huge one,” and Zhai Zhigang did Chinese astronaut’s first spacewalk in 2008. He stayed over 20 minutes in outer space. “Women hold half the sky.” Liu Yang became the first Chinese woman in space in 2012. China is going to make its first moon landing in 2030. Would you like to be an astronaut when you finish school? First, you must be healthy. Then you have to take tests. After you pass the tests, you are still not an astronaut. You need more training (训练) for new skills. There are many jobs to do in space. An astronaut must be ready for anything. 1. When did John Glenn visit space? A. In 1961. B. In 1969. C. In 1998. D.

What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A. It’s popular to be an astronaut. B. It’s difficult to be an astronaut. C. It’s important to be an astronaut. D. It’s interesting to be an astronaut. 5. In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A. News. B. Culture. C. Travel. D. Science. Passage 3 （2024-2025七年级上·广州·月考） Introduction Rockets are like big engines that help push (推) things in a forward (向前) or upward direction. We use them to launch spaceships into space or to shoot fireworks into the sky. How Rockets Work Rockets work by burning fuel (燃烧燃料). When the fuel burns, it produces a very hot gas. This gas shoots (射出) out of the back of the rocket and pushes it forward. History The Chinese were the first to make rockets, back in the 1200s. They filled bamboos with a special kind of powder (火药). This powder burnt very quickly and produced enough gas to shoot the rocket into the air. Later, in the 1700s, people started making rockets out of metal (金属). In the late 1800s, a Russian scientist, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, was the first person to design a liquid (液体的) fuel rocket, but he didn’t build one. An American engineer named Robert Goddard was the first person to do this in 1925. In 1957, the Soviet Union (苏联) used a rocket to launch the world’s first space satellite, Sputnik. Since then, many countries have used rockets to send things into space. 1. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain how rockets help people. B. To describe the history of rockets and how they work. C. To provide information about different types of rockets. D. To discuss the history and influence of space exploration. 2. What happens when the fuel in a rocket burns? A. It creates a cool gas and the gas pushes the rocket upward. B. It creates a cold gas and the gas pushes the rocket forward. C. It creates a cool or hot gas and the gas pushes the rocket upward. D. It creates a hot gas and the gas pushes the rocket forward. 3. When did the Chinese first make rockets? A. In the 1200s. B. In the 1700s. C. In the 1800s. D. In the 1900s. 4. What did the Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky do in the late 1800s? A. He built the first rocket. B. He wrote down ideas about space travel. C. He launched the first space satellite. D. He designed the first liquid fuel rocket. 5. When did Robert Goddard build the first rocket that used liquid fuel? A. In 1957. B. In the 1700s. C. In the 1200s. D. In 1925. Passage 4 （2024-2025七年级上·广州·单元测）The planet Mars is the closest and most similar planet to Earth. It is very interesting to scientists. For example, Mars has seasons with 1 weather, but other planets have the same temperatures all year round. Was there 2 on Mars? To find out, scientists need to know if Mars ever had 3 . In 2004, two robot explores (探测器), or “rovers”, called Spirit and Opportunity were sent to 4 signs (迹象) of water. These rovers can drive over rocks and all kind of rough ground. They can also use cameras and 5 photos back to Earth. First, the two rovers found chemicals and patterns (样品) in the rocks that were 6 made by water. Then, they moved to another area and found other rocks which may have been created by water. Now scientists 7 there was probably water on the planet long ago.
