Looking up at the stars, people have always wanted to learn more about space, and scientists have been working hard to find the secrets of the universe(宇宙). Here we’re going to go through a timeline of the important moments of space exploration. What is the Big Bang Theory? The Big Bang Theory is an idea about how our universe began. Many scientists believe that everything in the universe was pressed(压) together and then it separated into smaller pieces very quickly about 14 billion years ago to create the universe. The Big Bang is thought to be the beginning of everything in the universe. What is the Hubble Space Telescope(望远镜)? The Hubble Space Telescope was put into space in 1990. Hubble is as long as a large school bus and it weighs as much as two elephants. In order to stay above the atmosphere (),it travels around the Earth at about 5 miles a second. Hubble is able to get clear pictures of faraway stars. A picture called “Hubble Ultra Deep Field” shows some of the farthest galaxies (星系). Pictures from Hubble help scientists learn more about the universe. What is FAST? China’s Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope is known as FAST. It is in Guizhou, China, and has been used since 2016. Scientists can use it to search for signals(信号) of communication that are not coming from the Earth. What are Shenzhou manned spaceships? They mark the development and achievements of China’s space exploration. Since China sent the Shenzhou 1 in 1999, China has made great progress in this field. In 2025, Shenzhou 20 and Shenzhou 21 manned spaceships were sent into space. 4. The Hubble Space Telescope can help scientists study the universe because ________. A. it is long and heavy enough B. it takes clear photos of space C. it can move 5 miles a second D. it travels far away from some galaxies 5. What is the best title for the passage? A. Space Exploration: Searching for Life in Space B. Space Exploration: Exciting Moments of China C. Space Exploration: A Better Future for Scientists D. Space Exploration: Great Progress Humans Made 6. What is the right structure of the passage? (C) Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Many people now get a lot of news on electronic devices(电子产品), instead of traditional media(媒体), such as newspapers, television or radios. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information. Now, there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news: Computer-created news readers. China has launched the world’s first AI news presenters(播音员). The news readers created by machine learning technology are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present newscasts in English, and the other, in Chinese. According to Xinhua’s report, machine learning was used to examine video looks and sounds of the two newsman. The system then created the AI robotic presenters, which look and sound like real people. The AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they can work 24 hours a day tirelessly on its website and on social media. And they are able to read the news as naturally as human presenters. On social media, many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real. People criticized them for not being lifelike. On Weibo, several users wrote that the news readers had “no soul(灵魂)”. One user joked, “What if we had an AI leader?” Some wondered if AI robots might take the workers’ place. Some people argued that only jobs requiring heavy labour(劳动) will be replaced by AI robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labour machines. Some businesses have experimented(进行实验) with similar technology for possible use in news operations. Britain’s BBC released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages. Also, developers working on Amazon’s Alexa (a smart speaker system) have worked to create a special news reader voice for the electronic assistant(助理).Such a system could be further developed to provide other kinds of speaking voices for different situations in the near future. 7. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show different ideas. C. To provide some information about AI presenters. D. To compare different ways of getting news. 8. Which of the following is NOT the AI presenters’ advantages? A. They can examine the looks and sounds. B. They can read news as naturally as humans. C. They can work 24 hours a day tirelessly. D. They are like real people’s looks and sounds. 9. From the last paragraph we know that ________. A. BBC’s news readers can speak different languages B. BBC shows interest in Xinhua’s AI news presenters C. BBC has done similar experiments as Xinhua does D. Amazon has already used AI news presenters in different situations (D) Sending astronauts to Mars is a big challenge. Astronauts will have to take everything they need, including food, air and water. The room inside the spaceship is too limited to hold many things. So packing a spaceship is a huge challenge for a trip to Mars. Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking and washing. They’ll also need water to protect themselves from space rays which can pass right through spaceship walls and harm astronauts’ living cells. But a layer(层) of water placed around the ship can stop the harm. That’s a lot of water. And sending water into space is too expensive. It costs $ 33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars. The more you take, the more it costs. We have the technology to get to Mars, but the problem is that it’s too expensive. But Flynn, an engineer at NASA, thinks he has a way of solving the problem. Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of objects, why not use the objects as part of the spaceship? Imagine a spaceship that blows up like a balloon. Inside, the walls have pockets like a big honeycomb(蜂巢). These hold lots of plastic bags filled with water, dried food and algae(水藻). All these make hard walls and great radiation(辐射) protection. And stopping radiation doesn’t influence the food or water itself—it’s safe to eat and drink. And what if the same water could be reused again and again? Flynn and his team call their packed-pocket idea Water Walls. Making oxygen and taking away CO2—the waste gas you breathe out—is another problem in space. “Water Walls will take away CO2 the same way it’s done here on our Earth—with living plants,” Flynn says. Living plants take in CO2 to make their food, and give off oxygen. “Plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft, so we use algae,” he says. Algae are tiny plants that live in water. The algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by human waste and sunlight, eating up CO2 and making oxygen for the astronauts to breathe. Flynn thinks his onboard recycling system has many advantages. He hopes it will help make flying to Mars a reality soon. 10. What does “packing a spaceship” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Repairing things in a spaceship. B. Recycling things in a spaceship. C. Checking things in a spaceship. D. Putting things into a spaceship. 11. What is the advantage of Flynn’s system? A. Cost is saved. B. Travelling time is saved. C. Plastic bags are saved. D. Food is saved. 12. What is one purpose of Flynn’s idea of Water Walls? A. To produce water in the spaceship. B. To make the whole spaceship stronger. C. To control the temperature in the spaceship. D. To prevent space rays during the space trip. 13. Why are algae put in the bags? A. To prevent water from being polluted. B. To serve as food for astronauts. C. To provide oxygen for astronauts. D. To help other plants grow in a spaceship. 四、词汇运用(10分） 1.

Pepper could be about to change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions(情感识别功能), Pepper can react to people when it is near them—making jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese. The man-like robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a tablet computer(平板电脑) set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company. Pepper can examine facial expressions(面部表情), human voice and signs, and then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework in the cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store to provide fun and entertainment. Pepper gets power from love inside a family. It can not only tell jokes to make people laugh but also help people when they are in trouble. In a natural disaster, it can help make those people who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh. Pepper goes on sale in Japan for around $2,000. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling Peppers, they want the robots to store more knowledge to do better in getting along with humans. 每题答案不超过8个单词 1. Why is Pepper special? 2. What does Pepper look like? 3. How can Pepper help humans in a natural disaster? 4. What’s the difference between Pepper and Rosie? 5. What do you think of robots like Pepper? 七、书面表达（20分） 假如你是李华，最近你在机器人大赛上获得了一等奖，你的英国笔友哈里得知这个好消息后对你的机器人非常感兴趣。请你给他写一封信，从外观、适用人群和设计初衷等几个方面，介绍一下你设计的机器人。词数不少于90。 Dear Harry, I’m glad you’re interested in my design. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 答案 一、1-5 CABCD 6-10 CDACB 11-14 DCDB 二、1-5 AABCD 6-10 BACDB 三、1-3 BCC 4-6 BDA 7-9 AAC 10-13 DADC 四、1. product 2. private 3. specially 4. circles 5. lay 6. wheels 7. customers’ 8. completely 9. uncomfortable 10. tasty 五、1. is hoped 2. were spread 3. won’t come 4. has changed 5. to work 6. was cleaning 7. is singing 8. controlling 9. encouraged 10. will be served 六、1.

Life can be hard sometimes when people get old. I hope my robot can be helpful in the old people’s daily life. The robot will do anything the old people tell it to. It can carry heavy things for the old people. If the old people fall by accident, the robot will help them and call 120 at once. It can even lead their way if they have eye problems. I’m still developing it and hope someday my robot can help more and more people. Yours, Li Hua 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
