五、 阅读理解(共4小题,共20分)
From a very young age, my fascination with space was excited by my dad, an amateur(业余的) astronomer. I remember being woken up in the middle of the night and taken to the yard to look at the Moon and Jupiter through his telescope. My childhood was filled with love for space, and my parents wholeheartedly encouraged my growing interest in space science.
I first saw meteorites(陨石) at the Geological Museum in London. My mother often took me to the museum after school. The moment that left a lasting mark on me was in a small, dark corner where giant meteorites stood. At first, I thought they were models due to their size, but they were real rocks from outer space, awakening a lifelong fascination.
In my early 30s, I decided it was time to realize my dream of having a meteorite. I walked into the desert(沙漠) and to my surprise, I found a meteorite on my first journey. Then I met Steve Arnold, my future co-host on Meteorite Men. Steve, already an experienced meteorite hunter, contacted me after a global online search for individuals interested in meteorites. We formed a partnership, carrying on many explorations across the United States, Europe, and even Siberia in search of meteorites.
In 1997, Steve and I were approached by a Californian production company. They helped us produce Meteorite Men, a show that showcased our adventures looking for these treasures. Meteorite Men soon became a global phenomenon, attracting millions of viewers and inspiring new meteorite discoveries.
As a meteorite lover, my journey continues. While there are places I dream of exploring, such as Antarctica and Greenland, constraints like expense and danger sometimes limit the realization of these dreams. However, my dedication(献身) to the world of meteorites remains unchanged.
( )1. Which of the following best describes the author’s parents?
A. Traditional. B. Strict. C. Knowledgeable. D. Supportive.
( )2. Why was the Geological Museum important to the author?
A. It influenced his school choice.
B. It changed his attitude toward life.
C. It excited his interest in meteorites.
D. It brought back his happy moments with his mother.
( )3. How did the Californian company help the author?
A. By assisting in the creation of his show.
B. By donating exploration equipment.
C. By funding his desert adventures.
D. By inviting him to Greenland.
( ) 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce the popular Meteorite Men.
B. To express his lifelong love for meteorites.
C. To thank his parents for their upbringing.
D. To remember a like-minded good friend.
六、 七选五(共5小题,共12.5分)
Sending astronauts to Mars is a big challenge. It’s a long, dangerous journey. And astronauts will have to take everything they need. 1
Launching things into space is expensive. “To get to Mars, we already have the technology,” says Michael Flynn. “The problem is, it’s costly.”
2 Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of stuff, why not build Water Walls—a recycling system and use the stuff as part of the spaceship?
Making oxygen and taking away carbon dioxide—the waste gas you breathe out—is one problem in space. Water Walls will remove carbon dioxide the same way it’s done here on Earth—with living plants. Living plants take in carbon dioxide to make their food, and give off oxygen. But it’s hard for plants to grow in a spacecraft. 3
Algae are tiny plants that live in water. The algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by poop and sunlight, eating up carbon dioxide and making oxygen for the astronauts to breathe.
4 It is compact(紧密的), efficient, and doesn’t need a lot of fancy machinery that might break down. A mission to Mars will require astronauts to get back to nature.
Alas, the human body needs a lot of help to survive in space. If only we were more like the tardigrade! Tardigrades are very tiny insect-like creatures that live in soil. When they find themselves in danger, they roll themselves up into a ball and dry out. In this state they can survive without food or water for 30 years. 5
A. Algae can be a good choice.
B. Nothing is wasted in the spacecraft.
C. But Flynn thinks he has a solution.
D. So a trip to Mars is full of packing challenges.
E. If only we could train them to fly a spaceship.
F. This on-board recycling system has many advantages.
G. The more you take, the more rockets you must launch, and the more it costs.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________
