China Aims for First Private Space Tourism Flights by 2028
China is set to enter a new era of space exploration, with its first private manned suborbital (轨道的) tourism project scheduled to launch in 2028. On January 22, a private aerospace company announced that its spacecraft Chuanyuezhe-1 will carry paying tourists to the edge of space, known as the Karman Line(卡门线).
Among the first group of over twenty passengers is popular actor Huang Jingyu. “It's a great honor to fly to space on board a Chinese-made spaceship,” Huang said in a video announcement, adding that he will undergo professional training for the journey. The diverse list also includes a respected scientist, leaders from business and technology, and even a humanoid robot. Each ticket is priced at 3 million yuan, with a 10% deposit to secure a seat.
The Chuanyuezhe-1 is designed to carry seven people to an altitude of 100 kilometers. During the flight, tourists will experience weightlessness for three to six minutes and enjoy breathtaking views of Earth through a large window. The company states that the spacecraft's reusable "Cloud Landing System" has passed strict tests, ensuring a safe return.
This project represents a significant shift. Space travel, once only a dream for the public, is becoming more accessible. While currently expensive, advances in technology promise a future where more people might look down at our planet from the stars, turning humanity's oldest dream into a tangible new chapter.

The Chuanyuezhe-1 is designed to carry seven people to an altitude of 100 kilometers. During the flight, tourists will experience weightlessness for three to six minutes and enjoy breathtaking views of Earth through a large window. The company states that the spacecraft's reusable "Cloud Landing System" has passed strict tests, ensuring a safe return.

【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. A 5. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国首个民营亚轨道太空旅游项目计划于 2028 年推出的相关情况,包括该项目的核心载体 “穿越者1号” 飞船的性能、票价、安全系统,首批乘客的构成,以及该项目让太空旅行从公众的梦想逐渐变得可及的重要意义。
【解析】
1.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句 “The company states that the spacecraft's reusable 'Cloud Landing System' has passed strict tests, ensuring a safe return.” 可知,该飞船的云着陆系统通过了严格的测试,保障安全返航,C 项表述与原文一致。A项错误,原文第三段首句表明飞船一次可搭载7人,20 余名是首批预订的乘客总数,并非单次搭载人数;B项错误,原文首段明确项目计划2028 年推出,而非 2029年;D项错误,原文第三段指出游客会体验3至6分钟的失重状态,是“至多6分钟” 而非 “至少6分钟”。故选C项。
2.词义猜测题。根据最后一段前文 “Space travel, once only a dream for the public, is becoming more accessible.” 可知,太空旅行曾是公众的遥不可及的梦想,如今正变得越来越容易实现,结合画线词所在句 “turning humanity's oldest dream into a tangible new chapter”,可知技术的进步会让这个古老的梦想成为 “清晰且真实的” 新篇章。A项 “清晰且真实的” 符合语境;B项 “遥远的”、C项 “便宜且常见的”、D项 “珍贵且重要的” 均无法贴合 “梦想变为现实” 的核心语义。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,黄景瑜作为知名演员成为首批太空旅游乘客之一,他表示很荣幸乘坐国产飞船飞向太空,还将为此次旅程接受专业训练。结合全文 “太空旅行变得更易实现” 的主旨可推断,作为公众熟知的演员,他的参与会让太空旅行更贴近普通大众,让公众感受到这一曾经的梦想正逐步落地,C 项推断合理。A 项错误,原文未提及他是首个预订该太空旅行的乘客;B 项错误,原文明确他 “will undergo professional training”,即将要接受专业训练,而非已完成;D项错误,原文第二段指出票价300万元,需支付 10% 的定金锁定席位,并非全额支付。故选 C项。
4.数字计算题。根据第二段最后一句 “Each ticket is priced at 3 million yuan, with a 10% deposit to secure a seat.” 可知,每张票价300万元,锁定席位需支付 10%的定金,计算可得 3000000×10%=300000元,即至少需要先支付 30 万元定金。故选A项。
5.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章开篇即点明核心信息 —— 中国首个民营亚轨道太空旅游项目计划 2028 年推出,后文围绕该项目的飞船、乘客、票价、安全系统及项目意义展开详细介绍,D项 “中国首个民营太空旅游项目将于 2028 年到来” 能全面概括文章主旨。A项仅聚焦黄景瑜的太空旅行梦想,B项仅介绍中国一款新型可重复使用飞船,C项仅提及民营太空旅行的昂贵票价,均为文章的局部信息,无法概括全文。故选D项。

题型03 语法填空
(25-26高三上·吉林长春·月考)When 90-year-old William Shatter, an actor who played Captain Kirk returned from space in October 2021, he was overcome with emotion. Standing on the West Texas desert grass after his Blue Origin flight, he called the experience “the most profound I can imagine,” tears streaming down his cheeks.
Shatter appeared to be basking in a phenomenon that many professional astronauts have described: the overview effect. These space travelers saw Earth as a gleaming (发光) planet hanging in inky darkness, an oasis (绿洲) of life in the silent, empty space, and it filled them with awe. “No one could be informed well enough to be completely prepared for the astonishing view that I got,” wrote Alan Shepard, the first American in space, after his 1962 trip.
Watching the silky clouds below, the continents and the seas, many astronauts have seen their home planet — and humankind’s relationship to it — in a profoundly new light. “It becomes so small and so fragile that the trip will definitely raise our awareness of its protection, and it is such a precious little spot in the universe that provides such a huge population with a place to live,” Russell Rusty Schweitzer, who spent 10 days orbiting Earth on the Apollo 9 mission, said in a 1974 speech.
Gene Cernan, one of just a dozen of moon walkers, desperately hoped the rest of humanity could see what he had seen. “If only everyone could relate to the beauty and the purposefulness of it,” he said in 1985. “It wouldn’t bring a utopia (乌托邦) to this planet for people to understand it all, but it might make a difference.”
As commercial space travel becomes less expensive and more common, we can test Cernan’s proposition that if enough people experience the overview effect, life back on Earth could be meaningfully improved. But we might also find that a more varied group of travelers describes the experience in different terms than the astronauts who went before them. What will a new generation of voyagers see when they regard their home from space?
1. What does the underlined phrase “basking in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Absorbed in. B. Curious about. C. Concerned with. D. Skeptical of.
2. What is the “overview effect”?
A. A space tool. B. A new spaceship.
C. Consideration of all factors. D. Awe for Earth’s glow.
3. What do Schweitzer and Cernan both value?
A. Human’s Earth protection efforts. B. Utopian world construction.
C. Human-Earth connection awareness. D. Commercial space travel development.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Stars & Sight: Rebuild Our Fragile Home
B. Space & Sense: Cherish Our Glowing Globe
C. View & Value: Escape Our Small Blue Planet
D. Orbit & Outlook: Construct Our Shining World
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太空旅行中的“总览效应”,以及不同宇航员对此的感受和看法。
1. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Shatter appeared to be basking in a phenomenon that many professional astronauts have described: the overview effect. These space travelers saw Earth as a gleaming (发光) planet hanging in inky darkness, an oasis (绿洲) of life in the silent, empty space, and it filled them with awe.(Shatter似乎basking in许多职业宇航员描述的一种现象中:总览效应。这些太空旅行者把地球看作是一个在墨黑的黑暗中闪闪发光的星球,是寂静、空旷的空间中的生命绿洲,它让他们充满了敬畏。)”可知,Shatter沉浸在许多职业宇航员描述的一种现象中,即“总览效应”,故basking in意思是“沉浸于”。故选A。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shatter appeared to be basking in a phenomenon that many professional astronauts have described: the overview effect. These space travelers saw Earth as a gleaming (发光) planet hanging in inky darkness, an oasis (绿洲) of life in the silent, empty space, and it filled them with awe.(Shatter似乎沉浸于许多职业宇航员描述的一种现象中:总览效应。这些太空旅行者把地球看作是一个在墨黑的黑暗中闪闪发光的星球,是寂静、空旷的空间中的生命绿洲,它让他们充满了敬畏。)”可知,“总览效应”是对地球发光的敬畏。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching the silky clouds below, the continents and the seas, many astronauts have seen their home planet — and humankind’s relationship to it — in a profoundly new light. “It becomes so small and so fragile that the trip will definitely raise our awareness of its protection, and it is such a precious little spot in the universe that provides such a huge population with a place to live,” Russell Rusty Schweitzer, who spent 10 days orbiting Earth on the Apollo 9 mission, said in a 1974 speech.(看着下面丝滑的云朵、大陆和海洋,许多宇航员以一种全新的视角看待他们的家园地球——以及人类与地球的关系。“它变得如此渺小和脆弱,这次旅行肯定会提高我们对保护它的意识,它是宇宙中如此珍贵的一个小点,为如此庞大的人口提供了居住的地方,”曾乘坐阿波罗9号任务绕地球飞行10天的Russell Rusty Schweitzer在1974年的一次演讲中说。)”以及第四段中“Gene Cernan, one of just a dozen of moon walkers, desperately hoped the rest of humanity could see what he had seen. “If only everyone could relate to the beauty and the purposefulness of it,” he said in 1985. “It wouldn’t bring a utopia (乌托邦) to this planet for people to understand it all, but it might make a difference.”(Gene Cernan是仅有的十几位登月者之一,他极度希望其他人也能看到他所看到的。“如果每个人都能理解它的美丽和目的性,”他在1985年说。“让人们理解这一切并不会给这个星球带来乌托邦,但这可能会带来改变。”)”可知,二人都重视人类与地球的联系意识。故选C。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“Shatter appeared to be basking in a phenomenon that many professional astronauts have described: the overview effect. These space travelers saw Earth as a gleaming (发光) planet hanging in inky darkness, an oasis (绿洲) of life in the silent, empty space, and it filled them with awe.(Shatter似乎沉浸于许多职业宇航员描述的一种现象中:总览效应。这些太空旅行者把地球看作是一个在墨黑的黑暗中闪闪发光的星球,是寂静、空旷的空间中的生命绿洲,它让他们充满了敬畏。)”可知,文章主要讲述了太空旅行中的“总览效应”,以及不同宇航员对此的感受和看法。可知,B选项“Space & Sense: Cherish Our Glowing Globe(太空与感知:珍惜我们发光的地球)”最符合文章标题。故选B。
题型04 完形填空
(24-25高二下·黑龙江大庆·月考)A few months ago, Space X launched a spacecraft into orbit, a mission called Polaris Dawn, where an all-civilian crew performed the first-ever spacewalk. The outing has made history. Previously, only astronauts from government space agencies have travelled into space to build or upgrade space stations in orbit, repair satellites and conduct scientific experiments.
The company has more ambitious plans for space travel, and it’s not alone. For example, NASA refers to Mars as its “long-term objective for human exploration”. Each of the space launches will be hazardous. It essentially involves securing humans inside a spacecraft and exploding a “bomb” beneath them, according to Paul Root Wolpe, a senior scientist.
Once you’re in space, you’re subject to far higher levels of radiation than you’d encounter on Earth. Too much radiation can increase a person’s risk of cancer and mental disorders. It can also harm body tissues, resulting in digestive diseases, for example.
Five years ago, scientists published a groundbreaking study comparing two identical twins — one of whom spent a year in space while the other remained on Earth. The twins, Mark and Scott Kelly, who have the same set of genes, were both trained astronauts.
The researchers found that both twins experienced some changes to the way their genes worked over that period, but they changed in different ways. Some of the effects on the brother spending a year in space lasted for more than six months. These changes are thought to be a reaction to the DNA damage caused by space radiation.
Commercial space travel brings a new set of dangers. Traditionally, people who travelled to space went through strict health tests and training programs monitored by national agencies. “That isn’t the case for private space travel, where the rules are determined by the individual company,” says Wolpe.
To address these potential problems, some scientists bring forward genetic measures. People who have adapted to high altitude on earth have genetic factors that allow them to live well in low-oxygen environments — what if we could provide these factors for astronauts? For the time being, this approach sounds like science fiction. But one day it might become a reality.
1. What distinguishes Polaris Dawn from previous space missions?

(24-25高二下·黑龙江大庆·月考)A few months ago, Space X launched a spacecraft into orbit, a mission called Polaris Dawn, where an all-civilian crew performed the first-ever spacewalk. The outing has made history. Previously, only astronauts from government space agencies have travelled into space to build or upgrade space stations in orbit, repair satellites and conduct scientific experiments.
The company has more ambitious plans for space travel, and it’s not alone. For example, NASA refers to Mars as its “long-term objective for human exploration”. Each of the space launches will be hazardous. It essentially involves securing humans inside a spacecraft and exploding a “bomb” beneath them, according to Paul Root Wolpe, a senior scientist.

China Aims for First Private Space Tourism Flights by 2028
China is set to enter a new era of space exploration, with its first private manned suborbital (轨道的) tourism project scheduled to launch in 2028. On January 22, a private aerospace company announced that its spacecraft Chuanyuezhe-1 will carry paying tourists to the edge of space, known as the Karman Line(卡门线).
Among the first group of over twenty passengers is popular actor Huang Jingyu. “It's a great honor to fly to space on board a Chinese-made spaceship,” Huang said in a video announcement, adding that he will undergo professional training for the journey. The diverse list also includes a respected scientist, leaders from business and technology, and even a humanoid robot. Each ticket is priced at 3 million yuan, with a 10% deposit to secure a seat.
The Chuanyuezhe-1 is designed to carry seven people to an altitude of 100 kilometers. During the flight, tourists will experience weightlessness for three to six minutes and enjoy breathtaking views of Earth through a large window. The company states that the spacecraft's reusable "Cloud Landing System" has passed strict tests, ensuring a safe return.
This project represents a significant shift. Space travel, once only a dream for the public, is becoming more accessible. While currently expensive, advances in technology promise a future where more people might look down at our planet from the stars, turning humanity's oldest dream into a tangible new chapter.

(25-26高三上·吉林长春·月考)When 90-year-old William Shatter, an actor who played Captain Kirk returned from space in October 2021, he was overcome with emotion. Standing on the West Texas desert grass after his Blue Origin flight, he called the experience “the most profound I can imagine,” tears streaming down his cheeks.
Shatter appeared to be basking in a phenomenon that many professional astronauts have described: the overview effect. These space travelers saw Earth as a gleaming (发光) planet hanging in inky darkness, an oasis (绿洲) of life in the silent, empty space, and it filled them with awe. “No one could be informed well enough to be completely prepared for the astonishing view that I got,” wrote Alan Shepard, the first American in space, after his 1962 trip.
Watching the silky clouds below, the continents and the seas, many astronauts have seen their home planet — and humankind’s relationship to it — in a profoundly new light. “It becomes so small and so fragile that the trip will definitely raise our awareness of its protection, and it is such a precious little spot in the universe that provides such a huge population with a place to live,” Russell Rusty Schweitzer, who spent 10 days orbiting Earth on the Apollo 9 mission, said in a 1974 speech.
Gene Cernan, one of just a dozen of moon walkers, desperately hoped the rest of humanity could see what he had seen. “If only everyone could relate to the beauty and the purposefulness of it,” he said in 1985. “It wouldn’t bring a utopia (乌托邦) to this planet for people to understand it all, but it might make a difference.”
As commercial space travel becomes less expensive and more common, we can test Cernan’s proposition that if enough people experience the overview effect, life back on Earth could be meaningfully improved. But we might also find that a more varied group of travelers describes the experience in different terms than the astronauts who went before them. What will a new generation of voyagers see when they regard their home from space?
1. What does the underlined phrase “basking in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Absorbed in. B. Curious about. C. Concerned with. D. Skeptical of.
2. What is the “overview effect”?
A. A space tool. B. A new spaceship.
C. Consideration of all factors. D. Awe for Earth’s glow.
3. What do Schweitzer and Cernan both value?
A. Human’s Earth protection efforts. B. Utopian world construction.
C. Human-Earth connection awareness. D. Commercial space travel development.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Stars & Sight: Rebuild Our Fragile Home
B. Space & Sense: Cherish Our Glowing Globe
C. View & Value: Escape Our Small Blue Planet
D. Orbit & Outlook: Construct Our Shining World

(24-25高二下·黑龙江大庆·月考)A few months ago, Space X launched a spacecraft into orbit, a mission called Polaris Dawn, where an all-civilian crew performed the first-ever spacewalk. The outing has made history. Previously, only astronauts from government space agencies have travelled into space to build or upgrade space stations in orbit, repair satellites and conduct scientific experiments.
The company has more ambitious plans for space travel, and it’s not alone. For example, NASA refers to Mars as its “long-term objective for human exploration”. Each of the space launches will be hazardous. It essentially involves securing humans inside a spacecraft and exploding a “bomb” beneath them, according to Paul Root Wolpe, a senior scientist.
Once you’re in space, you’re subject to far higher levels of radiation than you’d encounter on Earth. Too much radiation can increase a person’s risk of cancer and mental disorders. It can also harm body tissues, resulting in digestive diseases, for example.
Five years ago, scientists published a groundbreaking study comparing two identical twins — one of whom spent a year in space while the other remained on Earth. The twins, Mark and Scott Kelly, who have the same set of genes, were both trained astronauts.
The researchers found that both twins experienced some changes to the way their genes worked over that period, but they changed in different ways. Some of the effects on the brother spending a year in space lasted for more than six months. These changes are thought to be a reaction to the DNA damage caused by space radiation.
Commercial space travel brings a new set of dangers. Traditionally, people who travelled to space went through strict health tests and training programs monitored by national agencies. “That isn’t the case for private space travel, where the rules are determined by the individual company,” says Wolpe.
To address these potential problems, some scientists bring forward genetic measures. People who have adapted to high altitude on earth have genetic factors that allow them to live well in low-oxygen environments — what if we could provide these factors for astronauts? For the time being, this approach sounds like science fiction. But one day it might become a reality.
1. What distinguishes Polaris Dawn from previous space missions?
A. Its being the first-ever spacewalk into orbit.
B. Its involving non-professional citizen astronauts.
C. Its cooperating with government space agencies.
D. Its conducting scientific experiments beyond orbit.
2. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Meaningful. B. Necessary. C. Interesting. D. Risky.
3. What did the study on Mark and Scott Kelly reveal?
A. Space travel can greatly affect genes.
B. Twins have identical reactions to space conditions.
C. Astronaut training can prevent some genetic changes.
D. DNA damage caused by space radiation is permanent.
4. What is Wolpe’s primary concern regarding commercial space travel?
A. The high cost of health tests and training programs.
B. The environmental impact of commercial space travel.
C. The lack of standardized health evaluation and instruction for tourists.
D. The absence of financial support from the government.

(2026高三·全国·专题练习)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
On November 14, the Shenzhou-20 taikonaut crew-Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie-successfully landed at the Dongfeng Landing Site aboard the Shenzhou-21 spaceship, marking a safe end to their 204-day orbital mission. Their return, 1 (original) scheduled for November 5, was delayed 2 nine days due to a minor crack in Shenzhou-20’s porthole (舷窗) caused by space debris (片) impact.
This unprecedented (史无前例的) emergency triggered China’s well-designed “one main and one backup” space rescue plan. Instead of risking a return on the 3 (damage) spacecraft, the crew transferred to Shenzhou-21. This marks the first time in China’s manned space history that another operational spaceship 4 (carry) a different taikonaut crew back to Earth. While 5 (wait) for the rescheduled return, the trio continued scientific experiments with the Shenzhou-21 crew, adding 6 (value) data to their research.
During their record-breaking orbital stay, the Shenzhou-20 team completed four extravehicular (舱外的) activities, seven cargo transfer tasks, 7 a series of cutting-edge experiments in space life sciences and materials science.
The smooth emergency return fully demonstrated the 8 (reliable) of China’s manned space engineering system. As the taikonauts 9 (confirm) in good health after landing, this mission proved that China’s space program has successfully passed the test, 10 delivers an excellent answer to the nation’s expectations.
