能力提升(12) Unit 4 Section Ⅲ（Word练习）-【金榜题名】2025-2026学年高一英语必修第三册高中同步学案（人教版）

[能力提升] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In an interview, Naveen Jain，founder of a space exploration company called Moon Express, says that he believes moon travel is just a decade away. And his company, which is the first private firm to get approval from the US government to carry out the project of moon travel, wants to play a role in helping people get to the moon surface. Many people in the technological and scientific communities are crazy about space exploration.Space presents an unprecedented (史无前例的) number of chances for scientific and human advancement. Companies, big and small, are determining how they can create technologies that will allow people to explore space, the moon, and even Mars. Other companies are finding ways to play a role in space travel. The key of that gold rush has been the declining cost of actually getting to space. Jain says that while it once cost billions of dollars to go to the moon, his company's unmanned space flight next year will cost just $ 7 million. As costs continue to decline (减少), he believes that within the next decade, getting to the moon will cost just $10，000. Better yet, it'll take just four hours to get there. Still, Mars_is_the_final_prize. And even Jain, whose company will focus on moon travel, says that “Mars is certainly the final destination”. When asked if he'd like to stage space fights to Mars, Jain says “of course”， adding that he believes Moon Express could partner with Elon Musk's SpaceX to make that happen. “Elon will build the rocket and we will do the travelers，” Jain says. “Generally, he will lay the cables and we will do the last mile.” SpaceX and Musk have not said whether they would work alongside Jain and Moon Express. Either way, it looks like hopping from the moon to Mars (and back) might be just a part of our lives. [语篇解读]　文章主要讲述了随着科技的发展，越来越多的公司和个人对太空探索感兴趣。更有人预测，在未来10年内月球之旅将实现，而且花费的费用和时间都会更少，甚至去火星也可能成为现实，成为人们生活的一部分。 1．What does the author mean by saying “Mars is the final prize” ? A.Mars is the final destination difficult but valuable to reach. B．Mars is the final destination expensive but easy to reach. C．Mars is the first destination to choose for space travelers. D．Mars is the last destination to choose for space travelers. 解析　句义猜测题。根据第四段可知，Jain的公司将致力于月球之旅，就连他都说”火星肯定是最终要去的地方”。由此判断出，画线部分的意思是上火星虽然难，但它是终极目标。如果能上去，那就相当于获得了终极大奖，值得尝试。 答案　A 2．What can we learn from the passage ? A．Moon Express is certainly an ideal partner for SpaceX. B．SpaceX hasn't decided to cooperate with Moon Express. C．Moon Express and SpaceX used to be close partners. D.SpaceX has been successful in moon travel exploration. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的”SpaceX and Musk have not said whether they would work alongside Jain and Moon Express”可知．SpaceX还没有决定是否要和Moon Express合作。 答案　B 3．Which section of newspaper is the passage taken from possibly? A．Entertainment. B．Education. C．Technology. D．Literature. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段和第二段的内容可知，这篇文章主要讲述了随着技术的发展，越来越多的公司和个人对太空探索感兴趣。由此推测，这篇文章很有可能出现在报纸的科技版块。 答案　C B The ringed planet Saturn has 53 known moons.And another one may be on the way. NASA's CassiniHuyens space probe has spotted(发现)a small shape in Saturn's outermost ring. It suggests the existence of a new moon. The moon has not been directly spotted yet, but scientists have already given it a nickname—Peggy. The probe's findings were published in the journal Icarus. Casssini has been observing the ringed planet and its surroundings since 2004. Saturn is a big and powerful world. With a diameter of 74，732 miles, it is 9.5 times the size of Earth. It spins very quickly, and takes only 11 hours to spin fully on its axis (轴). The planet is located about 885.9 million miles from the sun and has an average temperature of285 degrees Fahrenheit. Peggy will be joining a large community. Saturn has thousands of rings. The outermost ring, called the A Ring, is the largest and brightest. It measures 750 miles long and 6 miles wide. Saturn's rings are made up of rock, dust and ice, and are constantly gathering space matter. As this material gathers and clumps together，moons are born. If Peggy is a new moon, it is also a tiny one，measuring only 0. 5 miles in diameter. But there is no telling how big this baby will grow over time. “We've never seen anything like this before，” said astronomer Carl Murray in a statement . He is the lead author of the Icarus report. “We may be looking at an act of birth, where this object is leaving the rings and heading off to be a moon in its own right.” Once that happens, it will be given a formal name. However，this mini moon may be one of Saturn's last moons. The formation of all its moons, new and old，big and small, has used up much of the rings' raw material. After 4.5 billion years, Saturn may have finally revealed all its babies. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了土星衍生出来的小月球Peggy的一些情况。随着时间的推移，Peggy会变得越来越大，而Peggy也有可能是土星最后的卫星之一。 4．Which of the following is TRUE about Saturn? A．It has hundreds of rings. B．It is much bigger than Earth. C．It moves as quickly as Earth. D．Its 53rd known moon is called Peggy. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“With a diameter of 74，732 miles，it is 9.5 times the size of Earth.”可知，土星比地球大得多，故选B项。 答案　B 5．What does the underlined word “It”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Saturn's biggest moon. B．Saturn's innermost ring. C．Saturn's outermost ring. D．Saturn's new moon Peggy. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段“The outermost ring，called the A Ring，is the largest and brightest.”可知，被叫做A环的最外环是最大的也是最耀眼的，后面介绍它的长宽各是多少，说明画线词it指代的是“土星最外层的光环”，故选C项。 答案　C 6．We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________． A．Peggy may disappear soon B．Peggy may grow bigger and bigger C．Peggy will have its own moon soon D．Peggy is the new moon's formal name 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“But there is no telling how big this baby will grow over time，”可知，Peggy可能会变得越来越大，故选B项。 答案　B 7．According to the last paragraph，________ A．Saturn will have more and more moons B．Saturn's rings will have more and more material C.Saturn's rings may disappear in 4.5 billion years D.Saturn won't have too many moons younger than Peggy 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“However，this mini moon may be one of Saturn’s last moons.”可知，土星将不会有太多比Peggy新出现的卫星，故选D项。 答案　D Ⅱ.语法填空 Located in a natural depression in Guizhou, China's Fivehundredmetre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, 1.________(know) as FAST, has identified six pulsars (脉冲星) after one year of trial operation.It is the first time Chinese scientists have discovered pulsars using a radio telescope independently developed by Chinese scientists, thus 2.________ (open) a “new era of Chinese original space discovery”． It is truly encouraging for China to have achieved such results in just one year.Since the first pulsar 3.________ (discover), over 2700 pulsars have been identified.But almost all of them are 4.________ the scope of the Milky Way.Being the world's largest radio telescope, FAST is expected to capture pulsars outside the galaxy.Apart from the massive size, it also has unmatched accuracy and sensitivity, allowing scientists 5.________ (find) previously hidden stars.Moreover, FAST is capable of surveying the night sky for multiple 6.________ (science) data at once, 7.________ enables astronomers to jump—start many science goals.Its innovative engineering concept and design pave 8.________ new road to realize a huge single dish in the most effective way.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章报道了中国科学家第一次使用自主研发的射电望远镜发现并确定了六颗脉冲星。 1．解析　考查非谓语动词。主语Fivehundredmeter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope和动词know是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用动词ed形式作定语。 答案　known 2．解析　考查非谓语动词。thus指代这是中国科学家第一次使用由中国科学家自主研发的射电望远镜发现脉冲星。这一发现和动词open是主动关系，所以用动词ing形式作结果状语。 答案　opening 3．解析　考查语态。主语the first pulsar和动词discover是被动关系，动作发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。 答案　was discovered 4．解析　考查介词。此处指几乎所有的脉冲星都在银河系的范围内，表示“在……内”用in/within。 答案　in/within 5．解析　考查非谓语动词。表示“允许某人做某事”用allow sb. to do sth.。 答案　to find 6．解析　考查形容词。此处修饰名词data，所以用形容词形式，故填scientific。 答案　scientific 7．解析　考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句，用关系代词which引导，指代前面整个句子。 答案　which 8．解析　考查冠词。句中road是单数可数名词，此处指其创新的工程理念和设计铺设了一条新路，表示数量一，故填a。 答案　a 9．解析　考查名词。句中area是可数名词，由other修饰用复数形式，指其他领域，故填areas。 答案　areas 10．解析　考查时态。根据时间状语the next 10 to 20 years可知，句子用一般将来时，所以填will remain。 答案　will remain Ⅲ.写作 第一节　应用文写作 随着人们生活水平日益提高和手机收费不断降价，手机已经成为人们日常生活中的必需品，也开始大量涌入中学校园。由此引发一场观念碰撞：中学生该不该带手机？请你围绕“Is it necessary for a middle school student to carry a mobile phone？”这个问题，参考所给要点，写一篇英语短文。 要点：1.带手机的好处； 2．带手机的不利因素； 3．我的观点。 注意：1.词数：80左右(开头语已给出，不计入总词数)； 2．参考词汇：方便的convenient；电波辐射the electric wave radiation Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular in China.________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Nowadays_mobile_phones_are_becoming_more_and_more_popular_in_China.Sometimes you can even see students using them. Mobile phones have brought people a lot of convenience.If there is a sudden accident at school，it is much quicker for us to dial for help. However，mobile phones can also bring people problems.The most serious is that when we are having a lesson，the ring of the mobile phone may interrupt us.What's more，students may spend a lot of time playing games in the mobile phone as well as sending short messages. In my opinion，it is not necessary for us students to carry a mobile phone at school. 第二节　概要写作 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Live in the present moment To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrelevant to what happened yesterday, and what may or may not happen tomorrow. Without question, many of us have mastered the art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things. We allow past problems to dominate our present moments so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed and hopeless. We have concern over events that might happen in the future－we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever. We also postpone our gratification, our priorities and happiness, often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be better than today. Unfortunately, that “someday” never arrives. Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans. When we're busy making other plans, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. Many people live as if life was a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push problems and fear from our minds. The best strategy to improve our wellbeing is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened. I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your efforts will pay off.” ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Living in the present moment is important.(要点1) However, we always waste precious moment worrying about what we have no control over, missing out on life by hoping for a better future which never comes.(要点2) Since we can't control the past and the future, care for those around us and focus on things at present.(要点3)That improves happiness.(要点4) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
