Flying through the stars， I passed a comet (彗星) on the way. As I headed off to Mars， I looked at the scene before me. It was such a lovely view. A satellite spun (旋转) round and round， But on and on I flew. My spaceship 　 ▲ 　 the moon. It was wonderful for me! So I climbed onto the surface， To see what I could see. My spaceship left and made a loop (圈). Around the Milky Way. And then I felt that it was time， To go back home that day. The next thing，it was morning. I was safe and comfortable in bed. I told my mum about my trip. “What a lovely dream，” she said. (　　) 1.Where was the writer going in the dream? A.To the comet. B.To Mars. C.To the satellite. D.To the spaceship. (　　) 2.Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank “　▲ 　”? A.landed on B.passed by C.flew over D.moved towards (　　) 3.How did the writer’s dream end? A.By staying in the Milky Way. B.By climbing onto a satellite. C.By taking his mum to the trip again. D.By getting ready to go back home. B The earth is full of plants.Since the moon is so close to our earth，is there any possibility that plants can live in the moon soil? For many years，testing the moon soil has been the scientists’ dream.The chance finally came as the astronauts returned back from the moon，carrying some well protected moon soil to the lab. After knowing what moon soil is made of，scientists also made some fake (仿制的) moon soil from the earth.They planted some seeds in the two kinds of soil and took good care of 　them　，waiting to see what would happen.To their surprise，the seeds sprouted (发芽) and began to grow in both groups.But the plants in the real moon soil grew more slowly than those in the fake moon soil. As a result，the moon soil may have something that is not suitable for plants’ growth.In order to solve the problem，choosing the soil from the younger geological (地质的) places on the moon and creating a more suitable growing environment for the plants may be a possible solution. The research not only helps us study the nature of the moon soil，but also provides us with a chance to think about whether it is possible to plant on the moon and live on the moon.No matter how hard it is，we should have confidence in the development of technology and believe that good things are around the corner. (　　) 4.How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A.By asking a question. B.By giving an answer. C.By telling a story. D.By showing an example. (　　) 5.What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph probably refer to? A.Moon soil. B.Scientists. C.The earth. D.Some seeds. (　　) 6.What can we infer from the passage? A.Scientists can do tests on the moon easily. B.The author is confident about the future study of the moon. C.The author doesn’t think people will move to the moon to live. D.Scientists found no ways to improve the situation. C According to Ken Croswell，the Sun shines all the time.It shines during the day when we see it，and even at night when we don’t. As the Earth turns，sometimes we face the Sun.That’s when we get day.When the Earth’s spin (自转) turns us away from the Sun and we are in the Earth’s shadow，we get night.When people on the opposite side of the Earth face the Sun，those people have day while we have night. The Moon is a different story.Unlike the Sun，it doesn’t make its own light.Moonlight is actually the Sun’s light reflecting (反射) the Moon back to us. The Sun lights up only the side of the Moon that faces the Sun.At Full Moon，the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.Then the side of the Moon facing the Earth is all lit up.During Full Moon，the Moon rises around sunset，shines all night，and sets around sunrise.Since the moonlight is so bright，you can sometimes see it during the day，too.A few days before Full Moon，if you look east in the afternoon，you may see the Moon in the sky.After Full Moon，you may find it if you look west in the morning. The Moon is the most difficult to see at New Moon，when its orbit (轨道) puts it between the Earth and the Sun.Then，the side of the Moon facing the Earth is dark and we can’t see the Moon at all. (　　) 7.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “shadow”? A.The shape of the Earth. B.The force from the Sun. C.The dark area on the Earth. D.The opposite side of the Sun. (　　) 8.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.How the Moon makes its light. B.Why there is day and night on the Earth. C.Why the Moon can be seen during the day. D.What the difference is between Full Moon and New Moon. (　　) 9.Which of the following pictures shows us New Moon? A. B. C. D. (　　) 10.What is the theme of the text? A.Culture. B.Technology. C.Education. D.Science. D A dead satellite becomes a huge piece of space junk.This happens to Internet service satellites when they come back to the Earth.And this could be harmful to our atmosphere and magnetosphere (磁层)，which protect us. Right now，there are about 10，000 active satellites，and most of them can only be used once.Businesses are working as fast as possible to send thousands more into space.They plan to send up about one million satellites in the next thirty to forty years.These satellites help provide better Internet services and can make our lives more and more convenient.But they also create a lot of harmful waste that could cover our planet.The problem is that space can’t clean itself. The magnetosphere protects our atmosphere and keeps us alive.It is easy to think that the magnetosphere is too strong for humans to have any influence on it.However，this is not the case.Some scientists，like me，study how space rubbish can hurt our atmosphere and magnetosphere.Our research shows that rubbish from old satellites can harm our magnetosphere. Old satellites are huge and made of metal and other materials.The Earth is a ball magnet (磁铁) and we are covering it with metal rubbish.This can in turn weaken our magnetosphere and make it hard for life to live on the Earth. Our magnetosphere is very important，so any pollution of it should be watched and studied.Space businesses should be careful about sending up new satellites and take action to avoid pollution if they can’t show that their pollution will not hurt our atmosphere and magnetosphere. (　　) 11.What is one reason for the increasing number of satellites according to Paragraph 2? A.To discover more planets. B.To watch the changes of the Earth. C.To provide better Internet services. D.To improve the communication among countries. (　　) 12.Why does the writer mention that the Earth is a ball magnet? A.To explain how the Earth was formed. B.To introduce a new discovery about the Earth. C.To show how satellites travel around the Earth. D.To stress metal junk from satellites hurts the magnetosphere. (　　) 13.What is the best title for the passage? A.Create New Satellites That Can Be Used Many Times B.Be Responsible for Sending Up Satellites C.Avoid Using Metal to Make Satellites D.Stop Sending Up Satellites E ①Over the last 60 years，many space rockets have flown by，and even landed on the Red Planet.Now many countries are trying to send people to Mars (火星).But surviving this trip would not be easy，because Mars astronauts would face dangers both during the journey to Mars and while surviving on Mars. ②Mars is about 225 million kilometres away，so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there.By comparison，it only takes a few days to get to the moon.A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human history.While space travel is never free of danger，it takes more health risks to travel in space for such a long time.For one thing，staying in space for long periods makes the human body weak.Also，it puts pressure on the eyes and causes eye problems.But gravity machines could help. ③Then there’s space radiation (辐射) to worry about: it might raise the risk of health problems，especially for astronauts who will have long journeys.Scientists are working out the problems.They have found taking certain vitamins can help. ④Astronauts will have to carry little with them when they leave Earth.But they won’t be able to get things they need as astronauts on the space station do.Engineers are developing 3D printing technology which could allow future astronauts on Mars to make tools when they need them. ⑤With the development of science and technology，the difficulties of humans landing on Mars are being solved one by one! (　　) 14.How long does it take to travel from Earth to Mars? A.A few days. B.At least half a year. C.About one year. D.Over 60 years. (　　) 15.What problem does long-term space travel cause? A.The weakened body. B.Memory loss. C.Heart disease. D.Skin problems. (　　) 16.What’s the writer’s attitude toward sending people to Mars? A.Unclear. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Negative. (　　) 17.What is the structure of the passage? A.①②③/④⑤ B.①②/③④⑤ C.①/②③④/⑤ D.①②/③④/⑤ 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F In 2027，the first space hotel named Voyager Station is set to open.It will be built by Orbital Assembly Corporation.The 50，000-square-metre hotel will start being built in 2026 and welcome its first guests in 2027.The hotel can hold up to 440 people and will have gravity (重力) about one-sixth of the Earth’s. In 2019，the Gateway Foundation first introduced its design，then called the Von Braun Space Station.The goal is to enable more people to travel to space.The hotel will have nice villas，single bedrooms，restaurants，bars and gyms.The first part to be built is a central ring with a place for ships to dock (停靠).Then a 200-metre-wide outer ring will be put together and connected to it. The inside of the hotel will use materials and colours from nature，different from the cold look in movies.For example，there will be 500-square-metre villas and 30-square-metre hotel rooms.Also，an activity and gym module (舱) will be used for low-gravity games and concerts. It was first planned to open in 2025，but for some reason，the opening was put off to 2027.Many people are working on space tourism，and this hotel is a big step forward. 18.When is the first space hotel Voyager Station set to open?(不超过5个词) ____________________________________________________________________ 19.What is the goal of building the space hotel Voyager Station?(不超过10个词) ____________________________________________________________________ 20.What will be the first part of the hotel to be built?(不超过10个词) ____________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、1.commented 2.pianists 3.fingers 4.gifted 5.romantic 二、1-10：BAABD CDCBA 三、1-5：CAFEG 四、A篇：DACAB CBABD B篇：BDBAA CBABC 五、A篇：BAD B篇：ADB C篇：CCAD D篇：CDB E篇：BACC F篇：18..In 2027. 19.To enable more people to travel to space. 20.A central ring with a place for ships to dock.
