In which section of a newspaper can we probably read the passage? A. Science Study. B. Star Stories. C. School Time. D. Your Voice. B The universe is everything around us. It includes space, all the matter and energy in space, and even time. The stars like the Sun and planets like Earth are part of it. These planets go around the Sun, which is just one star among billions. The Moon is not a planet. It circles Earth and is also part of this huge system. Scientists say the solar system is about 4.6 billion years old. They found this by studying rocks and small space stones. Earth seems permanent, but it’s not. The Sun, much bigger than Earth, will change too, possibly growing large enough to take in nearby planets like Earth one day. The universe is about 13.8 billion years old. Scientists found this by looking at old stars and how fast the universe is getting bigger. This surprises scientists, because they expected gravity to slow the stars down. Earth and humans are very young compared to the universe. Life on Earth has been around for 3.8 billion years, but humans have only been here for about 300,000 years.That’s a tiny bit of time—like a second in a whole year! We’ve explored only our own solar system, and even then, we haven’t seen all the planets and moons. With new technology and curiosity, we keep learning about the universe. How did the universe begin? Are there other planets with life? Though space is big and full of secrets, each discovery helps us understand our place in it. The more we learn, the more we want to explore. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )6.

The Secrets of the Universe C. Scientists’ Study of the Stars D. The Universe and Our Place in It C On Earth, we use bricks (砖块) to build houses, but what about building things on the moon? We use “lunar bricks”,of course! Scientists at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) have developed “lunar bricks”. They hope to use the bricks to build a research station on the moon. To make the bricks, the scientists used a lunar soil simulant (模拟月壤). The bricks are more than three times stronger than normal red bricks. They also have special structures, which were used in ancient Chinese buildings. This makes it possible to simply put these bricks together. Professor Zhou Cheng from HUST said that they had tested five different kinds of simulated lunar soil composition (成分) and used three ways to harden them. In this way they could choose the best materials for making the bricks. “Lunar soil isn’t the same everywhere on the moon,” Zhou said. “For example, one of the kinds tested simulates the lunar soil at the landing site of Chang’e-5, which is mainly basalt (玄武岩).” The lunar bricks need to be tested well before being used because the moon has an extreme (极端的) environment. Quakes often happen there. And it gets as hot as 180 ℃ during the day and as cold as-190 ℃ at night. The lunar bricks have been sent to China’s space station on the “Tianzhou-8 ” spacecraft. There, scientists carry out tests to see how well the bricks work in space. The first bricks returned to Earth on November 14th,2025. ( ) 11.Which properly shows the strength comparison of lunar bricks and red bricks? ( ) 12. How did scientists find the best materials for making lunar bricks? A. They learned about lunar soil from scientific reports. B. They compared different bricks used widely nowadays. C. They read many books about ancient Chinese buildings. D. They did many tests on simulated lunar soil and treated it in different ways. ( ) 13. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The introduction of China’s “Tianzhou-8 ” spacecraft. B. The reasons why lunar bricks need to be tested in space. C. The temperature difference on the moon between day and night. D. The time when the first lunar bricks returned to Earth. ( ) 14. Which of the following best explains the purpose of developing “lunar bricks” according to Paragraph 1? A. To study the composition of lunar soil. B. To build a research station on the moon. C. To test the technology of making bricks in space. D. To improve the strength of normal red bricks. ( ) 15.What is most probably the structure of the passage? D The journey to Mars Humans have always looked up at the stars and dreamed of exploring other worlds.16. _______It’s the closest planet to Earth that might be able to support life, making it a very exciting place to explore! Our journey to understanding Mars began long ago, even before we could send rockets into space. 17. _______ They noticed its reddish colour and wondered what caused it. The real adventure started in the mid-20th century. Countries like the United States and the Soviet Union began sending spacecraft towards Mars. These early missions weren’t always successful. 18. _______ Others sent back only limited information. But each mission taught scientists valuable lessons. 19. _______They have landed on the surface and moved around, taking pictures and collecting samples of rocks and soil. They’ve sent back amazing pictures of Mars’ canyons, mountains, and even signs of ancient water. The information helps scientists learn more about Mars’ history and whether it ever had life. While we haven’t sent humans to Mars yet, we’re getting closer. 20. _______ They will one day allow humans to safely travel to Mars and explore it in person. It’s a big challenge, but the dream of walking on Mars is still very much alive! The red planet continues to call to us! 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. Some rockets failed to reach Mars. B. Early astronomers carefully watched Mars. C. For a long time, we’ve been very interested in Mars. D. Over the years, we’ve sent many more robots to Mars! E. Scientists are working hard to develop spaceships and technology. 二、完形填空(15 小题，每小题1 分，共15 分) 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 China’s New Chapter on the Moon China 1 working on a big plan to put a wireless network (无线网络) on the moon. This is 2 of their space exploration program. After they finish their 3 with Chang’e-6, two more spacecraft will be send to get ready for the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). Chang’e-7 is set to go in 2026, and Chang’e-8 will follow around 2028. A space official from China, Bian Zhigang, said that Chang’e-7 will look at the environment and resources near the moon’s South Pole. 4 , Chang’e-8 will try out ways to use the moon’s resources. This will help them get ready for the ILRS, 5 they hope to start using by 2035. Building the ILRS will happen in two steps. First, they will make a simple model at the moon’s South Pole. It will be able to do science work in an area 6 100 kilometers. They will use a network that connects the Earth and the moon for different missions, like sending robots to explore the moon and sending 7 to land on the moon. This will create a research platform with 8 functions. The second step is to make the station better by 2050. They want to build a network of lunar stations that will have a main station at the South Pole 9 other stations at the equator and the far side of the moon. This will give them a large research platform for long-term robot missions and short-term human missions. Guan Feng, 10 space official, said that Chang’e-8 will 11 there is a way to communicate and have 12 on the moon. Scientists are also thinking about whether they can grow plants on the moon. This might be part of the 13 research for Chang’e-8.

Recently, the“Yutu-2” lunar rover left a mooncake-shaped pattern on the moon, which has attracted wide attention. In our class, we had a survey about whether space exploration is worth it. Thirty percent of my classmates are against it. They think space is too far away from our daily life and that the cost is too high.However, seventy percent support it. They believe exploring the mysteries of the universe is exciting and that it helps push scientific and technological progress. Personally, I think space exploration is valuable. It broadens our horizons and may bring benefits to humanity in the future. So, let’s keep exploring! ( 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
