Space exploration is much more than a scientific activity; it shows the courage and curiosity of humans. In recent years, great progress has been made in this field. In the past, space programs cost so much that only a small number of countries were able to develop them. However, with rapid technological development, more countries and private companies have joined the exploration. Thousands of satellites have been sent into space. They help us forecast the weather, improve global communication, and support important research on the universe. Astronauts are the bravest people in this great journey. Before going into space, they receive years of strict training. They must be physically strong, mentally clear-minded, and brave enough to face the unknown. Living in space is quite challenging. Without gravity, they cannot stand or walk normally. They have to learn special ways to eat, sleep and work in a weightless environment. Space exploration is not easy. It requires high technology, huge money and great courage. Nevertheless, humans will never give up exploring the universe. Through space exploration, we gain new knowledge, develop useful technologies, and build a better life for everyone on Earth. （ ）1.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Space exploration is a modern dream. B. Humans have long dreamed of space. C. Space exploration has no value. D. Few people admire outer space. （ ）2.Why could only a few countries develop space programs in the past? A. They were too costly. B. No technology was available. C. People showed no interest. D. Satellites were not invented. （ ）3.Which quality is NOT mentioned as necessary for astronauts? A. Being strong. B. Being brave. C. Being rich. D. Being clear-minded. （ ）4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The life of astronauts. B. The development and importance of space exploration. C. How to live in space. D. How to train an astronaut. 【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.B 【解析】 1. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段 “For thousands of years, humans have looked up at the stars and dreamed of reaching outer space.” 可知，人类很久以来就梦想探索太空。 2.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段 “In the past, space programs cost so much that only a small number of countries were able to develop them.” 可知，过去太空项目费用太高。 3.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段 “They must be physically strong, mentally clear-minded, and brave enough to face the unknown.” 可知，文中未提到 “富有”。 4.【解析】主旨大意题。全文介绍了太空探索的发展、现状、宇航员要求及其重要意义，故选 B。 一、七选五 Space exploration has always been the dream of human beings. 1 today, space exploration is becoming more and more important. First of all, space exploration helps us learn more about the universe. 2 We can also know more about the birth and development of the Earth and other planets. Secondly, space technology improves our daily life. Many inventions we use now come from space programs. 3 They help us communicate better, know the weather earlier and even improve medical treatment. Thirdly, space exploration pushes the development of science and technology. 4 To solve these problems, scientists have to create new technologies and materials. However, space exploration is not easy. It is expensive and dangerous. 5 They believe that humans will go further into space in the future. A. For example, satellites are widely used around the world. B. It has been a strong wish for thousands of years. C. Many difficult problems need to be solved. D. We can learn what is beyond our own planet. E. Only a few countries can take part in it. F. But scientists and astronauts never give up. G. It takes a lot of money to train an astronaut. 【答案】 1.B 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.F 【解析】 1.前一句提到人类一直有探索太空的梦想，B 项 “几千年来这一直是人们的强烈愿望” 承接上文，逻辑一致。 2.前一句讲探索太空帮助我们了解宇宙，D 项 “我们可以了解我们星球之外的事物” 具体解释，与后一句 also 形成递进。 3.前一句提到太空技术改变生活，A 项 “例如，卫星在世界范围内被广泛使用” 举例说明，符合语境。 4.后一句出现 To solve these problems，C 项 “许多难题需要被解决” 引出 these problems，前后呼应。 5.前一句说太空探索昂贵又危险，F 项 “但是科学家和宇航员从不放弃” 构成转折，与后文相信未来一致。 二、思维提升-观点分享 Astronauts have to face many difficulties in space, such as weightlessness, loneliness and danger. What can we learn from their spirit? 【答案】 We can learn a lot from the spirit of astronauts. Neither the difficulties in space nor the danger in their work stops them from exploring the unknown. They choose to keep trying rather than give up when facing challenges. To be an explorer, you need either great courage or strong perseverance, and astronauts have both. Their spirit tells us that we should be brave enough to face difficulties in our life and study. 三、思维提升-书面表达 本作业二选一，为分层作业，难度有所区别。基础一般的同学可以选择作业1，基础较好的同学可以选择作业2。 作业1 假设你是李华，课堂上老师让小组讨论请你简单介绍中国航天取得的成就以及你对太空探索意义的理解。 作业2 假定你是李华，你们学校英文报刊正在以 “Space Exploration in Our Eyes” 为主题征文。请你用英文写一篇短文投稿， 内容包括： 1.人类为什么要探索太空； 2.从宇航员身上学到的精神； 3.作为中学生，你打算怎么做。 要求： 1.词数：80–100； 2.必须使用本课至少 2 个结构：both...and..., not only...but also..., neither...nor..., as well as, rather than。 1.【参考答案】 Dear teacher and classmates, I’m very glad to share our group’s ideas. In recent years, China has made great achievements in space exploration. We have sent up many satellites, successfully launched manned spaceships, and completed lunar explorations. I believe space exploration is meaningful. It not only helps us know more about the universe but also improves science and technology. It pushes us to study harder and develop new skills. As students, we should learn from the spirit of astronauts. We should be brave and hard-working, rather than give up when facing difficulties. Thank you. 2.【参考范文】 Dear editor, I’m glad to share my ideas about space exploration. Humans explore space not only to learn more about the universe but also to develop new technology that makes our life better. It helps us solve many problems on Earth as well. From astronauts, we can learn a lot. Neither difficulties nor dangers stop them from chasing their dreams. They keep trying rather than give up easily.
