Three astronauts—Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie—went into space. Chen Dong is very experienced. He flew on Shenzhou-11 in 2016 and Shenzhou-14 in 2022. Now, he will be the first astronaut in China’s second group to go to space three times! The other two astronauts are new to space. One is a pilot, and the other is an engineer. Six and a half hours after launch, Shenzhou-20 joined with the Tianhe Core Module in space. This made a “three-ships, three-modules” group. It shows China’s space technology is very advanced. The spaceship used new technologies, like smart docking (智能对接) and life support systems, to help the space station work better. The astronauts will stay in space for 6 months. First, they will take over from the Shenzhou-19 team, who worked in space for 176 days. The two groups will meet for 4 days before Shenzhou-19 goes home. The Shenzhou-20 crew will do 59 science experiments. For example, they will study tiny worms called planarians in space to see how they grow without gravity. This might help people heal better on Earth! They will also fix parts of the space station and welcome new supply ships, like Tianzhou-9 and Shenzhou-21. They plan to come back to Earth in late October. Shenzhou-20’s launch is a big step for China’s space program. It shows China can do hard things in space and work with the world. 1．How many times has Chen Dong been to space before Shenzhou-20? A．Once B．Twice C．Three times D．Never 2．Why will the astronauts study planarians? A．To see how they grow in space B．To send them to other planets C．To make food in space D．To clean the space station 3．Which of these is a new technology on Shenzhou-20? A．Old satellite systems B．Smart docking C．Paper books for astronauts D．Regular cameras 4．When will the Shenzhou-20 crew return to Earth? A．April 24,2025 B．Late October 2025 C．176 days after launch D．4 days after docking 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to launch China’s Shenzhou-20 B．The lives of three astronauts C．China’s Shenzhou-20 space mission D．Why space is important 长难句解析 原句：（第 2 段第 1 句）After the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft docked with the Tianhe core module in space six and a half hours after launch, forming a "three-spacecraft and three-module" combination, it demonstrated that China's aerospace technology has reached a high level.​ 译文：发射六个半小时后，神舟二十号飞船与太空中的天和核心舱完成对接，组成 “三船三舱” 组合体，这表明中国的航天技术已达到很高水平。​ 分析：该句包含多个从句和非谓语结构，属于复杂复合句。 “After the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft docked with the Tianhe core module in space six and a half hours after launch” 是 after 引导的时间状语从句，其中 “six and a half hours after launch” 是时间状语，修饰从句中的谓语 “docked”； “forming a 'three-spacecraft and three-module' combination” 是现在分词短语作伴随状语，补充说明对接后形成的结果； 主句 “it demonstrated that...” 中，“it” 作形式主语，真正的主语是 that 引导的宾语从句 “that China's aerospace technology has reached a high level”，从句内部为主谓宾结构，整体句子通过多层修饰和从句嵌套，清晰呈现事件过程与结论。 长难句解析 原句：（第 3 段第 2 句）First, they will hand over tasks with the Shenzhou-19 crew, who have been working in space for 176 days, and the two crews will work together in orbit for 4 days before the Shenzhou-19 crew returns to Earth. 译文：首先，他们将与已在太空工作 176 天的神舟十九号乘组进行任务交接，两组航天员将共同在轨工作 4 天，之后神舟十九号乘组返回地球。 分析： 此句为包含定语从句和时间状语从句的复合句。主句由两个并列分句构成，“and” 连接 “they will hand over tasks...” 与 “the two crews will work together...”；“who have been working in space for 176 days” 是定语从句，修饰先行词 “the Shenzhou-19 crew”，从句中使用现在完成进行时，强调动作的持续性；“before the Shenzhou-19 crew returns to Earth” 是 before 引导的时间状语从句，说明 “共同在轨工作 4 天” 发生在 “神舟十九号乘组返回地球” 之前，从句用一般现在时表将来，整体句子逻辑层次分明，通过从句补充乘组相关信息和时间先后关系。 重点词汇和短语 aerospace technology /ˈeərəʊspeɪs tekˈnɒlədʒi/n. 航天技术 1. advanced /ədˈvɑːnst/adj. 先进的，高级的 1. astronaut /ˈæstrənɔːt/n. 航天员，宇航员（搭配：an astronaut candidate 航天员候选人） 1. combination /ˌkɒmbɪˈneɪʃn/n. 组合体；结合，联合 1. experienced /ɪkˈspɪəriənst/adj. 有经验的，熟练的（搭配：be experienced in 在…… 方面有经验） 1. gravity /ˈɡrævəti/n. 重力，地心引力 1. heal /hiːl/v. 愈合，痊愈；治愈 1. launch /lɔːntʃ/v. 发射（火箭、飞船等）；n. 发射，（产品的）上市 1. maintain /meɪnˈteɪn/v. 维修，维护；维持 1. dock with 与…… 对接 1. hand over 移交，交接（任务、职责等） 1. in orbit 在轨道上 1. join with 与…… 对接；联合 1. life support system 生命保障系统（单复数同形，也可表述为 life support systems） 1. scientific experiment 科学实验 1. supply spacecraft 补给飞船（同义表述：supply ships） 1. take over from 接替，接管 译文 2. 2025 年 4 月 24 日下午 5 点 17 分，中国在酒泉发射了神舟二十号载人飞船。陈东、陈中瑞、王洁三名航天员进入太空。陈东经验十分丰富，他曾于 2016 年执行神舟十一号任务，2022 年执行神舟十四号任务。如今，他将成为中国第二批航天员中首位三次进入太空的航天员！另外两名航天员是首次进入太空，其中一人是飞行员，另一人是工程师。​ 3. 发射六个半小时后，神舟二十号与太空中的天和核心舱完成对接，组成 “三船三舱” 组合体。这表明中国的航天技术已达到很高水平。该飞船采用了智能对接、生命保障系统等新技术，以提升空间站的运行效能。 4. 航天员将在太空停留六个月。首先，他们将与已在太空工作 176 天的神舟十九号乘组进行交接，两组航天员将共同在轨 4 天，之后神舟十九号乘组返回地球。神舟二十号乘组将开展 59 项科学实验，例如，他们将在太空中研究一种名为扁形虫的小型蠕虫，观察其在无重力环境下的生长情况，这或许能为地球上的伤口愈合研究提供帮助！他们还将对空间站部分部件进行维修，并迎接天舟九号货运飞船、神舟二十一号载人飞船等新的补给飞船。他们计划于 10 月底返回地球。​ 5. 神舟二十号的成功发射是中国航天事业发展的重要一步，它彰显了中国在航天领域攻克难题的能力，也体现了中国与世界开展航天合作的意愿。 Passage B Vienna Cammarota is a grandmother from Italy.

On April 26, 2022, she began a great journey that took her from Venice, Italy, to China, walking more than 20,000 kilometers. Vienna carried a simple backpack that weighed about 20 kilos, including her clothes and other important things. She traveled by walking rather than riding a bike or taking a train or plane, and enjoyed unexpected things along her journey. When she arrived in China on August 29, 2024, people welcomed her warmly. They greeted her with a wreath (花环), which means friendship, and performed traditional dances and songs. Vienna got the inspiration for her trip from Marco Polo, the famous traveler who traveled to China along the Silk Road during the 13th century. She wants to follow in his footsteps and see both the old and modern China. “I hope to compare the China of Marco Polo’s time with today’s China,” she said. In her first days in China, she traveled around the ancient city of Kashgar. She visited a historic teahouse and learned about tea culture. She even tried making naan bread (馕) in a local shop. Starting from Kashgar, she has planned a 15-month journey across China, visiting over 30 cities. She hopes to experience China’s rich culture and promote (促进) friendship between different cultures.

People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China? A．Leizu. B．The kings. C．Zhang Qian. D．The Yellow Emperor. 2．What was spread from China to the West according to paragraph 3? A．Silk and gold. B．Tea and papermaking. C．Spices and silver. D．New ideas of science. 3．What is the right order of the following facts from the passage? ① Zhang Qian traveled west with silk. ②Art and language were shared along the Silk Road. ③ Traders from China and the West exchanged things. ④The Chinese were ordered to keep the secret of making silk. A．①→④→③→② B．①→③→④→② C．④→①→③→② D．④→③→②→① 4．What does the underlined word “distinctive” mean in paragraph 4? A．Special. B．Public. C．Popular. D．Strong. 5．What does the story of the Silk Road mainly tell us? A．The change of world trade. B．The introduction of silk cloth. C．The influence of technology in history. D．The importance of cross-cultural communication. 长难句解析 原句：（第一段第四句）This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. 译文：这种神奇的布料被称为 “丝绸”，它价值连城，因此又被称作 “中国黄金”。遵照帝王的命令，中国人数百年来一直保守着丝绸制作的秘密 分析：该句由两个并列分句和一个现在分词短语构成。第一个并列分句包含两个短句，由 “and” 连接，前半句 “this magical cloth became known as ‘silk’” 为主系表结构，“became known as” 是固定搭配，意为 “被称为”；后半句 “it was so valuable that it was called ‘China’s Gold’” 是 “so...that...” 引导的结果状语从句， 重点词汇和短语 1. ancient /ˈeɪnʃənt/adj. 古代的，古老的；n. 古人 搭配：ancient civilizations（古代文明）；ancient history（古代历史） 1. invention /ɪnˈvenʃn/n. 发明，创造；发明物 例：The invention of the Internet has changed people's lives greatly.（互联网的发明极大地改变了人们的生活。） 1. valuable /ˈvæljuəbl/adj. 有价值的，贵重的 例：This painting is very valuable and worth a lot of money.（这幅画很贵重，价值不菲。） 1. keep the secret 保守秘密 例：You must keep the secret for me; don't tell anyone else.（你必须为我保守这个秘密，别告诉其他人。） 1. brave /breɪv/adj. 勇敢的，无畏的；v. 勇敢面对 例：He is a brave soldier who fought bravely in the war.（他是一位在战争中英勇作战的勇敢士兵。） 1. trade /treɪd/n. 贸易，交易；行业；v. 交易，买卖 搭配：international trade（国际贸易）；trade with（与…… 贸易） 1. exchange /ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/v. 交换，互换；交流；n. 交换，交流；兑换 搭配：exchange ideas（交流思想）；exchange money（兑换货币） 1. spread /spred/v. 传播，散布；展开；n. 传播，蔓延 例：The news spread quickly all over the city.（这消息很快传遍了全城。） 1. combine /kəmˈbaɪn/v. 结合，联合 搭配：combine...with...（把…… 和…… 结合起来） 例：We should combine theory with practice.（我们应该把理论和实践结合起来。） 1. cooperation /kəʊˌɒpəˈreɪʃn/n. 合作，协作 搭配：international cooperation（国际合作）；cooperation between...and...（…… 与…… 之间的合作） 译文 很久以前，在古代中国，流传着丝绸发明的故事。人们认为丝绸最早是由黄帝的妻子嫘祖发明的。嫘祖学会了将蚕茧制成柔软且坚韧的布料，这种神奇的布料被称为 “丝绸”，它价值连城，因此又被称作 “中国黄金”。遵照帝王的命令，中国人数百年来一直保守着丝绸制作的秘密。 然而，后来发生了一件意义重大的事！汉朝时期，勇敢的官员张骞西行至中亚地区，并将丝绸带到了那里。随着时间的推移，丝绸变得愈发重要，这条连接欧洲与中国的贸易通道也因此得名 —— 丝绸之路。 丝绸之路成为了商人穿越沙漠和山脉进行贸易往来的繁忙通道。中国人通过这条通道出售丝绸和茶叶，作为交换，他们从西方获得香料、金银等珍贵物品。起初，丝绸之路主要用于贸易，后来人们开始在此交流思想、技术和文化。例如，中国的造纸术等发明传播到了西方，而西方的数学和科学新思想也传入了中国。 最重要的是，丝绸之路促进了不同文化之间的相互学习。艺术、音乐乃至语言都沿着这条古老的通道得以传播。在中国的敦煌石窟等地，你能看到艺术作品如何将东西方风格融合成独特的艺术形式，这种形式在其他地方是看不到的。 丝绸之路的故事告诉我们，来自遥远地区的人们如何通过贸易和思想交流成为朋友。如今，我们将丝绸之路视为历史上最伟大的合作与交流典范之一。它让我们明白，了解并尊重彼此的传统至关重要，不同文化也能携手创造非凡的成就。 Passage B （2025·山东枣庄·中考真题）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入各小题横线上的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, more and more families choose road trips for their vacation.

Passage C Christopher Columbus(哥伦布), who is one of several historical persons regarded as the first European to discover the Americas, was born in 1451 in Italy. His father was a wool businessman. When he was young, Columbus loved sailing adventure very much. When he was 26 years old, he began to make business voyages(航海). The farthest countries he reached were Iceland and Guinea. At that time, many European countries became stronger and stronger. Their ships reached Africa and Asia. They got gold, silver, silk, tea and other things from the countries of Asia. The book The Travels of Marco Polo greatly influenced him, in which China and India were written perfectly. Columbus wanted to make another way to these two countries. Since he didn’t have enough money, he asked some countries for help, such as, Portugal, Spain, the UK and France. He told the leaders the Earth was round and if they helped him, he could easily get to China. Nobody believed his words and he was regarded as a cheat. Of course, he didn’t succeed. It was not until 1492 that his dream came true. The queen of Spain persuaded the King to support Columbus. On August 2, 1492, Columbus left Spain and began his voyage. He had three ships. After two months’ hard sailing, on October 12, they got to an island in the Bahamas. On October 29, they reached Cuba. But a few days later, one of his ships left them. And on December 25, his flagship sunk. Luckily, the ship that left them joined him again. They went back to Lisbon on March 4, 1493. Although they didn’t get to rich Asian countries and took back wealth, they found a new place that nobody had gone to. Columbus thought it was India and called the islands the West Indias. From 1493 to 1504, he sailed to America three times. He reached most of the coast of southern America and set up many colonies. On May 20, 1506, Columbus died because of a disease. 1．What was Columbus' dream according to the passage? A．To be a rich man. B．To reach Africa and Asia. C．To make another way to China and India.

Three astronauts—Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie—went into space. Chen Dong is very experienced. He flew on Shenzhou-11 in 2016 and Shenzhou-14 in 2022. Now, he will be the first astronaut in China’s second group to go to space three times! The other two astronauts are new to space. One is a pilot, and the other is an engineer. Six and a half hours after launch, Shenzhou-20 joined with the Tianhe Core Module in space. This made a “three-ships, three-modules” group. It shows China’s space technology is very advanced. The spaceship used new technologies, like smart docking (智能对接) and life support systems, to help the space station work better. The astronauts will stay in space for 6 months. First, they will take over from the Shenzhou-19 team, who worked in space for 176 days. The two groups will meet for 4 days before Shenzhou-19 goes home. The Shenzhou-20 crew will do 59 science experiments. For example, they will study tiny worms called planarians in space to see how they grow without gravity. This might help people heal better on Earth! They will also fix parts of the space station and welcome new supply ships, like Tianzhou-9 and Shenzhou-21. They plan to come back to Earth in late October. Shenzhou-20’s launch is a big step for China’s space program. It shows China can do hard things in space and work with the world. 1．How many times has Chen Dong been to space before Shenzhou-20? A．Once B．Twice C．Three times D．Never 2．Why will the astronauts study planarians? A．To see how they grow in space B．To send them to other planets C．To make food in space D．To clean the space station 3．Which of these is a new technology on Shenzhou-20?

People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China?

In 1271, Marco Polo left Venice with his father and uncle and set out for Asia. The purpose of their trip was to meet with Kublai Khan who ruled a large part of Asia. On their way to meet the King at his palace in China, they traveled through much of the Middle East and Central Asia. In 1275, they finally arrived at the palace of Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan grew to like Marco Polo very much. In fact, he liked him so much that he wanted Marco Polo to work for him.

Over that time, he collected many jewels and much gold. Marco Polo returned to Venice with his father and uncle in 1295. People often came to Marco Polo's home to hear stories about his travels. He became a great storyteller. Marco Polo was known as "the man with a million stories". He later met a writer who was delighted with his stories. The writer liked Marco Polo's stories so much that he wrote a book about Marco Polo's travels. The book about Marco Polo's travels taught Europeans about places in Asia they knew little about. The book also taught people about the geography of Asia. Some of these people were explorers who used the information in Marco Polo's book on their own journeys.

His father was a wool businessman. When he was young, Columbus loved sailing adventure very much. When he was 26 years old, he began to make business voyages(航海). The farthest countries he reached were Iceland and Guinea. At that time, many European countries became stronger and stronger. Their ships reached Africa and Asia. They got gold, silver, silk, tea and other things from the countries of Asia. The book The Travels of Marco Polo greatly influenced him, in which China and India were written perfectly. Columbus wanted to make another way to these two countries. Since he didn’t have enough money, he asked some countries for help, such as, Portugal, Spain, the UK and France. He told the leaders the Earth was round and if they helped him, he could easily get to China. Nobody believed his words and he was regarded as a cheat. Of course, he didn’t succeed. It was not until 1492 that his dream came true. The queen of Spain persuaded the King to support Columbus. On August 2, 1492, Columbus left Spain and began his voyage. He had three ships. After two months’ hard sailing, on October 12, they got to an island in the Bahamas. On October 29, they reached Cuba. But a few days later, one of his ships left them. And on December 25, his flagship sunk. Luckily, the ship that left them joined him again. They went back to Lisbon on March 4, 1493. Although they didn’t get to rich Asian countries and took back wealth, they found a new place that nobody had gone to. Columbus thought it was India and called the islands the West Indias. From 1493 to 1504, he sailed to America three times. He reached most of the coast of southern America and set up many colonies. On May 20, 1506, Columbus died because of a disease. 1．What was Columbus' dream according to the passage? A．To be a rich man. B．To reach Africa and Asia. C．To make another way to China and India. D．To get gold, silver, silk, tea and other things. 2．How long does it take Columbus to take his voyage from Spain to Lisbon? A．2 months B．8 months C．11 months D．26 months 3．In what order did the following take place in Columbus' life? a. He sailed to America three times. b. In 1477, he began to make business voyages. c. He began his voyage with the help of the queen of Spain. d. He found a new place that nobody had gone to. e. He tried to get support from some countries. A．b-e-d-a-c B．b-e-c-d-a C．c-b-e-a-d D．c-d-e-a-b 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Columbus and His Voyages B．How Columbus Found India C．Columbus Loved Sailing Adventure D．How Columbus Got the Sailing Support 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要阐述了哥伦布的一生以及其航海事业。 1．细节理解题。根据文章中第二段“Columbus wanted to make another way to these two countries”可知，他的梦想是开辟另一种路线去中国和印度。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“On August 2, 1492, Columbus left Spain and began his voyage”和“They went back to Lisbon on March 4, 1493”可知是1492年8月2日离开西班牙，在1493年3月4日到达里斯本，因此花费了8个月。故选B。 3．推理判断题。这道题可引导学生使用排除法进行做题，b是1477年开始商业航海，c是1492年在西班牙皇后的帮助下进行航海，b在前，因此排除C和D选项。d是发现了美洲群岛的这个无人知晓的地方，a是曾三次航海到美洲，可知d的时间顺序早于a，故选B。 4．主旨大意题。整篇文章主要是阐述哥伦布的一生以及他的航海事业，故选A。 Passage D 请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺。 “Before I came to China, I thought I would see a lot of old buildings, red lanterns and everybody doing kung fu. 1 High-rise buildings and other high-tech products are everywhere,” Barry said.
