Scientists are already working on it to keep astronauts safe and healthy on a trip to Mars, though the trip may be many years later. Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft (航天器) have flown by, orbited (沿轨道运行) and even landed on the red planet. However, humans could work faster and smarter than machines. That’s why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars. But living on this trip would not be easy. A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human history. Mars is about 225 million kilometres away, so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there. However, it only takes a few days to get to the moon. Space travel has danger and it takes a lot more health risks to travel in space for a long time. For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. Then there’s space radiation (辐射) to worry about. It might raise the risk of health problems, especially for astronauts who have long journeys. Scientists are working out the problems. They have found taking certain vitamins (维生素) can help. Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the Earth. But they won’t be able to get things they need like astronauts on the space station do. Astronauts on the space station practise for this by growing vegetables and other food in space. Engineers are developing 3-D printing skills which could allow future Mars astronauts to build tools as needed. 41. Why do some countries want to send astronauts to Mars? ________________________ 42. How long would it take astronauts to reach Mars? ________________________ 43. Please list two health risks of staying in space for a long time. ________________________ 44. Do you want to travel in space in the future? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. ________________________ 【答案】41. Because humans can work faster and smarter than machines. 42. At least six months. 43. Staying in space for long periods makes human body weak and causes eye problems. 44. Yes. I would love to travel in space because it would be an amazing experience to see Earth from space and explore new planets. However, I would worry about the health risks like radiation and muscle loss. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了人类未来登陆火星面临的挑战。 【41题详解】 根据“However, humans could work faster and smarter than machines. That’s why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars.”可知，因为人类可以比机器工作得更快、更聪明。故填Because humans can work faster and smarter than machines. 【42题详解】 根据“Mars is about 225 million kilometres away, so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there.”可知，到达火星至少需要6个月的时间。故填At least six months. 【43题详解】 根据“For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems.”可知，一方面，长时间待在太空会使人体虚弱，也会导致眼睛问题。故填Staying in space for long periods makes human body weak and causes eye problems. 【44题详解】 此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Yes.

However, Wu Cui, a straw plaiting (草编) artist from Helan County, Ningxia, can turn straw into eye-catching artworks. Wu, 29, is the sixth-generation inheritor (第六代继承人) of straw plaiting. Learning from her uncle, Wu made things with straw when she was a child. She made the straw-plaiting her job after she finished college three years ago. Before plaiting straw, Wu usually spends a long time finding the right straw. Then she ties them up and dries them. Also, Wu needs to put the straw in warm water so that the straw won’t break easily. “In the past, we could see straw products everywhere in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes. But the world has changed. There are so many things for people to choose from. So we need to find other ways to share the art with people,” Wu says.

Wu hopes to make more creative works in the future C Liu Cixin, the writer of the novel The Three-Body Problem, once said, “Lots of people love my book. In fact, many of my ideas came from Physics.” For many students, Physics is boring and difficult. They don’t like it. To help students learn Physics more easily, the book series (系列) That’s where Big Bang in Physics: 128 Sessions of Physics Courses was born. It includes seven books by Li Jianlong and mainly introduces Physics knowledge through comics and stories. Students usually begin to learn Physics in Grade 8. The contents (内容) of this book series are as difficult as those in the Physics textbook for the first term. But Li explains many key points through comic stories, making children understand them in easy ways. Li has worked hard to spread (传播) scientific knowledge through interesting comics. “I hope children can not only improve their knowledge, but also have fun by reading these books,” said Li. It’s crucial for young people to learn Physics. Physics makes our life better and easier. For example, with the help of Physics, people have made cars, ships and planes. What’s more, learning Physics helps kids understand many phenomena (现象) in daily life. Why does the rainbow (彩虹) come out after the rain? Why does thunder always come after lightning? You can get the answers after you learn Physics. “I’m preparing for a new series now. It is fit for eighth graders in the second term and covers more difficult Physics knowledge.

The school sits deep in the mountains in Chongqing. Most of the students are left-behind children (留守儿童). In the past, there was a shortage of teachers at the school, so it was hard for the students there to learn better than those living in cities. Their life-changing journeys started in 2013. At that time, Sun Xiaoming, the head teacher of the school, decided to set up a girls’ football team. He believed it could be a chance for the students to receive a better education (教育) and live different lives. For Sun, the greatest difficulty was getting the students’ parents to accept his idea. To do it, Sun sent a girl to another primary school for football training. Months later, the girl received a scholarship (奖学金) to study at Chongqing No. 37 Secondary School. Her experience brought hope to other girls at the school and their parents. Later, the school set up a girls’ football team and there were 20 girls in it. The conditions at that time were really hard, but the girls all valued the chance to practise. Years of hard work finally paid off. Over the past few years, many girls have got into good schools because of their football abilities (能力). Today, the school has developed a football culture, and each grade from two to six has its football team. Many students are proud of taking part in the sport. 13.

Scientists are already working on it to keep astronauts safe and healthy on a trip to Mars, though the trip may be many years later. Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft (航天器) have flown by, orbited (沿轨道运行) and even landed on the red planet. However, humans could work faster and smarter than machines. That’s why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars. But living on this trip would not be easy. A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human history. Mars is about 225 million kilometres away, so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there. However, it only takes a few days to get to the moon. Space travel has danger and it takes a lot more health risks to travel in space for a long time. For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. Then there’s space radiation (辐射) to worry about. It might raise the risk of health problems, especially for astronauts who have long journeys. Scientists are working out the problems. They have found taking certain vitamins (维生素) can help. Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the Earth. But they won’t be able to get things they need like astronauts on the space station do. Astronauts on the space station practise for this by growing vegetables and other food in space. Engineers are developing 3-D printing skills which could allow future Mars astronauts to build tools as needed. 41. Why do some countries want to send astronauts to Mars? ________________________ 42. How long would it take astronauts to reach Mars? ________________________ 43. Please list two health risks of staying in space for a long time. ________________________ 44. Do you want to travel in space in the future? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. ________________________ 七、书面表达（满分20分） 45.
