天天练 第14周 周二 阅读理解+完形填空（Word练习）-【金版新学案】2026年高考英语高三总复习大一轮复习讲义（译林版）

第十四周 | 周二 (限时20分钟　满分：25分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共10分) Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200 light years from earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery. Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright, 18, who both attend schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP)．With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)．Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun­like star and here they found four planets rotating (旋转) around the star.“We were looking to see changes in light over time，” Pingle explained, “The idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.” While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were spotted.“I was very excited and very shocked.” Wright said.“We knew this was the goal of Daylan's research, but to actually find a multi­planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.” Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub­Neptunes”， which are gaseous, but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system.While observing the planets, the team determined each one completes their orbit around 1233 every six to 19.5 days.However, the fourth planet is called a “super­earth” for its large size and rockiness this one orbits around the star in just under four days. “We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi­planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting_the_jackpot．They are really blessed.” Daylan said.“The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits.So, we would like to understand the basic processes of planet formation and evolution using this planetary system.” Daylan added that it was a “win­win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study.“As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have slightest bias(偏见)．”he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting­edge research, and this prepares them quickly for a research career.” 1．How did the two students identify the four planets？(　　) A．By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data. B．By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233. C．By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system. D．By interacting with other young talented brains. 2．What is special about the discovery？(　　) A．It was made by two high school students. B．It was made with an innovative approach. C．It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan. D．It found the largest number of planets at a time. 3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “hitting the jackpot” in Paragraph 4？(　　) A．Making a groundbreaking discovery. B．Achieving the goal easily. C．Succeeding in something luckily. D．Performing a task carefully. 4．According to the article, what benefits does the study bring for high school students？(　　) A.It allows the scientists to work with young people without prejudice. B.It equips future astronomers with better researching abilities. C．It provides more perspectives and thus boosts more discoveries. D．It arouses students' interest in exploring the unknown universe.
