Section Ⅱ　“Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] (标语篇配有教师讲评课件)(对应课时跟踪检测P195) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A()　　 Over the past few years, China's aerospace industry has witnessed many landmark events.Apart from celebrating these scientific achievements, the public has also developed a growing interest in the missions' unique names, of which many are derived from China's myths and legends. China's spacecraft are called Shenzhou.This literally means “heavenly ship” in Chinese, and is also a homonym for the Chinese words “divine land”， which is a term used in literary works to refer to the country.China's moon exploration project and its lunar probes (月球探测器) are both named after a Chinese goddess of the moon, Chang'e.In 2013, the Chang'e－3 lunar probe landed on the moon and it carried a lunar rover (月球车) called Yutu.The two names perfectly match the legend of the moon fairy and her pet.In another example, the relay satellite for the Chang'e－4 moon exploration mission is called Queqiao, or “magpie bridge”．The magpie bridge, in a Chinese folk tale, was formed by millions of magpies, so that a separated couple could meet each other across the Milky Way.Likewise，the Queqiao relay satellite serves as a “space－bridge”for communication between the moon and the earth. Chinese people's eagerness for the universe dates back to ancient times, and some even tried to explore it.Luban, a great inventor living in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, made a flying wood bird.Others created many myths and legends, such as “Kuafu Chases the Sun”， to explain phenomena that they could not explain.These traditional stories have become the source of inspiration for Chinese scientists in the naming of major space missions. The famous spacecraft and rovers built by the United States include the Challenger，the Opportunity and the Spirit, whose names reflect a positive and enterprising spirit.This is quite unlike how the Chinese name their spacecraft，which reflects the Chinese people's sense of romance and awe for space as well as their efforts to pass down traditional culture and their ancestors' spirit of scientific discovery.Nevertheless, all these names, Chinese or foreign, showcase the dreams of humankind and our collective pursuit to discover the secrets of space. When Apollo 11 prepared to land on the moon, the control center on earth told the astronauts onboard to “watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit”， which refers to Chang'e and her rabbit Yutu.With the rapid progress of China's aerospace industry, more and more Chinese stories embodying Chinese romanticism will be shown to the world. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国航空航天业见证了许多具有里程碑意义的事件，这些任务独特的名字来自中国的神话与浪漫传说。 1．How is paragraph 2 developed? A．By making comparisons. B．By describing processes. C．By giving examples. D．By analyzing causes. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，该段列举了多个与中国神话相关的航空航天任务的名称，所以本段是用举例子的方式展开的。 2．Why the relay satellite was named “Queqiao”？ A．Because this name can draw public attention. B．Because this name comes from a Chinese folk tale. C．Because this name reflects Chinese romanticism. D．Because this name indicates the function of the relay satellite. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“鹊桥”的例子可知， “鹊桥”可以使一对分离的夫妻在银河相聚，而“鹊桥”中继卫星充当的是月球和地球通信的“太空桥梁”，由此可知，二者的功能相似，所以中继卫星命名为“鹊桥”是因为这个名字暗示了中继卫星的功能。 3．What can we infer from the last three paragraphs? A．The ancient Chinese explored the space to create myths and legends. B．Some spaces missions' names are originated from traditional stories. C．China and the US name their spacecraft differently because of different pursuits. D．China's aerospace industry has changed the world. 解析：选B　推理判断题。最后三段中都提到了中国航空航天任务的名称与中国的神话和浪漫的中国故事相关，由此可推断出一些太空任务的名称来源于传统故事。 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Space Missions' Names B．How to name Space Missions? C．Space Missions' Names Embody Chinese Romanticism D．Chinese Myths and Legends 解析：选C　标题归纳题。根据第一段以及全文中列举的中国航天任务的名称可知，本文主要介绍的是中国航天任务名称与中国的神话传说以及浪漫的故事有关。因此，选项C适合作本文标题。 B The Moon is attracting much attention these days as NASA is ready for its Artemis Ⅰ launch and preparing for more to follow.The mission objectives are clear: develop a sustainable presence on its surface and pave the way to go to Mars. And then what? What's the next great leap in humans' quest for the secrets of the universe? When it comes to the near future scientific exploration, there are a few areas of the solar system that will be receiving some special attention. First off, there's Venus, a planet which was a relative paradise with oceans and a pleasant atmosphere.Something went terribly wrong there a few billion years ago, and NASA has scheduled a series of missions to explore what exactly is going on there. At the other end are the gas giants.Several of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are covered in thick sheets of ice, and underneath that ice sit oceans of liquid water.NASA has missions planned to investigate those mysterious worlds, hunting for any signs of possible life hidden deep within. As for us humans, Mars is certainly the grand prize in the coming decades.If we have the adequate drive and funds, we can establish a semi－permanent presence on the red planet, keeping crews working and studying in person on the Martian surface.The other planets of our solar system are not so suitable for people to settle on.Mercury is too close to the Sun for comfort and too far away from the Earth. Over the coming decades, humans expect to see a rise of “space hotels”， set up for visiting tourists and scientific explorations.Naturally, turning the space rock into a habitat for humans is not very practical considering our current level of technological maturity, but in my best estimation, it's the next easiest thing to accomplish after the Moon and Mars, of course. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来太阳系探索的几个方向。 5．What does the underlined word “quest” probably mean in the second paragraph? A．Request.　　　　　B．Explanation. C．Question. D．Search. 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“When it comes to ... some special attention.”可知，此处是指对宇宙奥秘的探索，结合画线词后的“for the secrets of the universe”可推知，quest意为“寻求，探求”，和search意思相近。 6．Which is the least likely to be explored in the next decades according to the text? A．Mars. B．Venus. C．Mercury. D．Gas giants. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The other planets of our solar system ... too far away from the Earth.”可推知，在未来几十年里，水星是最不可能被探索的。 7．What's the author's attitude towards the “space hotels”？ A．Doubtful. B．Hopeful. C．Critical. D．Unconcerned. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Over the coming decades, humans expect to see a rise of ‘space hotels’， set up for visiting tourists and scientific explorations.”可推知，作者对“太空旅馆”的出现充满希望。 8．What's the text mainly about? A．The launch of Artemis Ⅰ. B．The secrets of the solar system. C．The missions of NASA. D．The areas of the future universe exploration. 解析：选D　主旨大意题。根据第二段以及下文对未来要探索的星球的描述可知，文章主要介绍了未来宇宙探索的领域。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Benefits of Space Exploration On April 12, 1961, the astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space. The age of space exploration started that day.__9__？ Well, the answer is simple. The benefits of space, including medical, technological and economic benefits, are more than the dangers of it. ·Medical benefits __10__. Analyzing the effects of zero－gravity on blood circulation (循环) led to many discoveries on how to prevent some types of heart failure. And the experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases. ·__11__ The space race has led to technological advancements in the shortest period of time, such as vacuum－sealed (真空密封的) food, fireproof materials and modern vacuum cleaners.__12__. Yet, we even don't know that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon. As you can see, it is important for us to keep pushing the limits of space exploration. Who knows what kind of new technologies could be developed that will make our lives easier in the future. ·Creation of STEM jobs Space exploration is one of the industries that require the largest percentage of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) jobs. A lot of those jobs are positions for engineers, data analysts, doctors, biologists and so on. Although these positions require highly qualified people to fill them, they are some of the highest－paid jobs in the market.__13__. A．Space tourism industry B．Development of new technologies C．Is exploring space a waste of time and money D．Today, we still use them in our daily lives E．So, the growing space industry creates high－paid jobs F．The medical benefits of space exploration reach every area of the human body G．Why should we spend so much time and money to explore dangerous environments 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太空探索的好处。9.选G　根据下文“Well, the answer is simple.”可知，空处是一个问题。结合下文介绍太空探索带来的好处远远大于它的危险可知，空处应该是在问为什么需要探索太空。G项“为什么我们要花这么多的时间和金钱去探索危险的环境”符合文意，选项中的关键词dangerous照应空后的dangers。 10．选F　根据小标题Medical benefits可知，本段主要介绍太空探索的医疗好处。F项“太空探索的医学益处覆盖到人体的每个部分”符合文意，选项中的The medical benefits呼应小标题。 11．选B　根据小标题下的内容可知，本段主要讲述了太空探索带来了科技的进步，故B项“新技术的发展”适合作本段的小标题。 12．选D　根据空前“The space race ...cleaners.”可知，太空竞赛带来了科技进步，如真空密封食品、防火材料和现代真空吸尘器。D项“今天，我们仍然在日常生活中使用它们”承接上文，符合文意，其中them代指上文提到的“vacuum－sealed(真空密封的)food, fireproof materials and modern vacuum cleaners”。 13．选E　根据上文“Space exploration ... the market.”可知，太空探索创造了高薪工作。E项“因此，不断发展的太空产业创造了高薪工作”符合文意，是对前文的总结，空前关键词“the highest－paid jobs”呼应选项中的high－paid jobs。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
