Description
Certainly, life on Earth will come to an end, whether because of climate disaster, world wars, or the death of the sun in a few billion years. To avoid dying out, we will have to find a new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to live.
In this challenging and interesting book, Christopher Mason argues that we have a duty to do just that. We have a responsibility to act—not only for us human beings but for all other creatures on which we depend.
Mason argues that our technology that has enabled us to build rockets and land on other planets can be applied to redesigning biology so that we can live on those planets. And he makes a 500-year plan for carrying out the huge project.
As they are today, our weak human bodies could never survive travel to another planet. Mason describes the bad effects that long-term space travel had on astronaut Scott Kelly, who returned from a year on the International Space Station with changes to his blood, bones, and genes(基因).
Mason suggests a ten-period, 500-year programme that would engineer our body so that humans can stand the extreme(极端的) environments of outer space—with the final goal of achieving human settlement of new solar systems. He makes a roadmap of which solar systems to visit first, and uses biotechnology and genetics to offer a unique vision of the universe to come.

As a child, I wanted to become an astronaut, and I began preparing myself early. When I was in junior high, I began to wonder, "What should a future astronaut study in college?" I did my research and found that many astronauts have studied Aerospace (航空航天) Engineering. When it came time to apply to college, I only focused on schools that had aerospace engineering programs.
I went to Princeton University, where I studied Mechanical (机械的) and Aerospace Engineering. Although I knew Aerospace Engineering was important, I really didnˈt know what engineering was in a day-to-day sense. After my freshman year, I took part in a summer internship (实习工作). I worked in a professorˈs lab, where research focused on how robotic systems work together. It was in this setting that I began to understand what engineering was.
From there, a fire was sparked (触发), and I went on to take part in similar research programs hosted at Rice University. These experiences helped me realize that research was my true passion (热爱). I then continued my education, earning a masterˈs degree and later a Ph.D. in Aerospace-related fields. I also completed an internship with NASA, where I worked on two small satellites in space.
I currently work for a research and development laboratory. One of the great things about my work is the chance to share new project ideas and see how research can impact everyday life.
Finding these opportunities required effort and attention. I kept my eyes peeled for announcements about job opportunities from university websites. By staying active and curious, I was able to gain valuable experience beyond the classroom.
For teens interested in engineering, Aerospace Engineering is a good choice. Many ideas may take time to understand, but if you keep going and work hard, you will have a great career. I would also suggest being flexible and well-rounded. You can always learn from different experiences.
24.Why did the author want to study Aerospace Engineering?
A. He was advised to do so by a teacher.
B. He believed it was a must for astronauts.
C. He wanted to work in a professorˈs lab in college.
D. He was required to learn it at Princeton University.
25.How did the authorˈs summer internship influence him?
A. He decided to change his major.
B. He realized the importance of teamwork.
C. He learned about different types of robots.
D. He developed a strong love for engineering.
26.What can be learned from the authorˈs experience?
A. Curiosity is the most powerful thing you own.
B. Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
C. A good beginning makes for a good ending.
D. Itˈs important to find the path that suits you.
27.What is the authorˈs suggestion to teens?
A. Hang in there and donˈt give up. B. Be confident and think creatively.
C. Focus on one area of engineering. D. Seek internships as early as possible.
C
Scientists have warned that the risk of a large space rock named 2024 YR4 striking Earth in 2032 has slightly increased. Recent calculations show a 1%-3% chance of impact, but there is still a 97%-99% probability that this near-Earth asteroid (小行星) will miss our planet. The chance is expected to go up and down as researchers enhance their understanding of its orbit.
Discovered in December 2023 by a Chilean telescope, 2024 YR4 measures 40-90 metres wide. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) plan to observe it in March using the Webb Telescope before it becomes unobservable until 2028. The initial impact chance was just over 1%, later rising to 3%, though NASA stresses the likelihood remains "extremely low".
Experts say itˈs too soon to panic. Larry Denneau of the University of Hawaii notes it is "a curiosity", urging patience for further analysis. Paul Chodas of NASAˈs Near-Earth Object Studies Centre echoes this, stating rising probabilities are expected and the risk will likely disappear. Such variations are common as new data emerges, similar to the 2021 case of asteroid Apophis, where initial concerns were later dismissed after precise observations.
Since the details are uncertain, it is unclear where it may hit and what the possible effect will be should it strike Earth. The ESA said, if the asteroid is smaller, the effect might be similar to that of the Tunguska event, which flattened thousands of square kilometres of forest in Siberia in 1908. But if the asteroid is larger, close to 100 metres in diameter, the effect will be significantly worse. Once the Webb Telescope provides precise measurements, NASA will be able to assess the threat level.
NASA already has some experience deflecting an asteroid. In 2022 they successfully changed an asteroidˈs orbit by crashing a spacecraft into it, though larger asteroids might require more complex strategies.
For now, experts agree there is no immediate cause for concern. Public awareness is vital, but scientific consensus (共识) remains: while monitoring continues, 2024 YR4 poses no actionable risk. As Chodas reassures, "This is part of the process—uncertainty decreases with time and data."
28.What may cause the change in the probability of 2024 YR4ˈs impact?
A. Changes in the asteroidˈs size. B. Improvements in orbital calculations.
C. Public concern and media influence. D. Limitations of telescope technology.
29.Why do experts advise against panic about the asteroid?
A. It will pass Earth safely in 2028.
B. It is too small in size to cause damage.
C. Previous defense missions have already succeeded.
D. The impact chance is likely to drop with more data.
30.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The methods of asteroid measurement.
B. The potential damage of asteroids in different sizes.
C. The increasing probability of the asteroid striking Earth.
D. The functions of the Webb Telescope in asteroid detection.
31.What does the underlined word "deflecting" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Redirecting. B. Remapping. C. Observing. D. Destroying
D
Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the old objects launched into space, such as rockets and satellites? They are called space junk, and much of it is still out there now. According to NASA, the definition of space junk is "any man-made object in orbit(轨道) around Earth that no longer serves a useful function".
One large piece of space junk, a disused rocket, hit the dark side of the moon on 4 March. The rocketˈs origin is not clear, but scientists know that it was massive— weighing about 3 tons. It must have left a large crater(坑), estimated 10 to 20 metres wide, on the moonˈs surface. It wonˈt be visible right away, but scientists are trying to locate it. "We will find the crater, eventually," Mark Robinson, lead investigator for NASAˈs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, told USA Today. "Depending on its location, it could take as long as 28 days."
Whatˈs significant about this space junk crash is that it draws attention to some of the potential dangers of space junk. First, the accumulation of space junk in Earthˈs orbit means that satellites and the International Space Station are at risk. In 2016, tiny space debris(残骸), smaller than a millimetre, caused a tiny chip in the ISSˈ window. Imagine the damage that a larger piece of debris could cause. The European Space Agency website states that objects "up to 1 cm in size could disable an instrument or a critical flight system on a satellite" while objects over 10 cm "could shatter a satellite or spacecraft into pieces". If this sounds terrifying, thatˈs because it is. Any collision with larger pieces of debris could be especially dangerous for manned spacecraft.
In addition to potential damage to spacecraft and satellites, space junk also poses a threat to Earth itself. Crashes can send debris into the atmosphere where it can remain for many decades. Some powerful crashes can even send large debris hurtling(猛冲) towards Earthˈs surface where it can affect the local environment. Leftover rocket debris can contain toxic(有毒的) materials that are harmful to plant and animal life. Some people in Siberia have even reported serious health problems after rocket debris landed in their regions in 2012, a local doctor told the BBC.
32.Which of the following can be regarded as space junk?
A. An abandoned space station. B. A spacecraft orbiting the moon.
C. A crater on the moonˈs surface. D. A satellite working in low Earth orbit.
33.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Tracking the rocket. B. Locating the crater.
C. Cleaning up the space junk. D. Finding out the rocketˈs origin.
34.Why does the author mention the damage caused by tiny space debris in 2016?
A. To compare the effects of debris of different sizes.
B. To prove the space debris problem is getting worse.
C. To illustrate the potential dangers of space junk.
D. To explain the necessity of removing space junk.
35.What can be inferred about space junk from the last paragraph?
A. Itˈs likely to cause a global environmental crisis.
B. It can pose a lasting threat if it remains in the atmosphere.
C. Itˈs impossible to stop it from entering the atmosphere.
D. The biggest threat comes from the toxic materials contained in space junk.
第二节 七选五 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Youˈve watched astronauts float calmly through the International Space Station while you struggle to read an email. It seems that theyˈre born different. (36) The same habits that keep them alive in orbit can also make you a better thinker, creator, and problem solver on Earth.
(37) They do this not because they love repetition, but because it frees up their brain for real emergencies. In daily life, having regular habits can help you focus on more important work. The more you turn your daily routines (日常生活) into habits, the more mental space you free up for creativity.
Second, astronauts prepare for problems before they happen. (38) Thatˈs why they train for many "what if" situations. Similarly, when studying or working, it helps to predict difficulties and prepare for them.
Another helpful habit is keeping records. Astronauts keep detailed mission logs (日志) during their stay. Recording what worked and what didnˈt helps them improve and is good for their mental health during long space missions. You can benefit from the same practice. (39)
Finally, astronauts donˈt just fix one wire (电线); they figure out how the whole system works together. Think in systems, not moments. (40) You should think about how the parts of the story are connected. This way of thinking helps you avoid getting lost in the details and see the big picture.
A.You might assume theyˈre just built special.
B.They know nothing ever goes according to plan.
C.However, what makes them special isnˈt talent—itˈs habit.
D.First, astronauts practice basic tasks for years until theyˈre natural.
E.If you start trying those space habits, youˈll find you can think more clearly.
F.For example, when you write, donˈt pay too much attention to a single sentence.
G.Record when and where you work best, and youˈll see what improves your creativity.

25. 理解具体信息。根据题干中的summer internship可定位到第二段。第二段提到,作者刚上大学时,并不清楚工程学对日常生活有什么意义;之后的暑假实习工作让他开始理解工程学的内涵。结合第三段中的From there, a fire was sparked可知,暑期的实习工作让作者对工程学产生了强烈热爱。A项(决定换专业)不正确,由下文作者的学习工作经历可知,他始终学习航空航天工程相关专业;B项(意识到团队合作的重要性)文中未提及;C项(了解不同类型的机器人)与实习内容不符,实习工作让作者了解到机器人各系统如何协同,而非了解机器人类型。
26. 推断。文章主线清晰展示了作者如何通过主动、持续的准备来抓住机会、实现目标:早期准备(中学研究宇航员背景,大学只申请相关专业)、持续积累(主动参加多个研究项目与实习)、主动寻找机会(密切关注大学网站的招聘信息)。作者的成功并非偶然,而是长期有意识地准备的结果,完美印证了“机会留给有准备的人”这一道理。文中确实提到了保持好奇心(staying active and curious),但它被描述为一种辅助品质,用于发现和抓住机会,文章并未将“好奇心”作为主题或“最强大”的东西来强调,故A项不可选;作者确实有“好的开始”(童年梦想),但文章大量篇幅在描写开始之后的努力过程,C项忽略了持续准备的关键作用;作者确实找到了适合的航空航天领域,但这只是故事的起点,文章重点不在于“找到适合的路”,而在于如何通过具体准备将这条路走通,故排除D项。
27. 理解具体信息。最后一段中,作者给对工程学感兴趣的青少年提出建议:航空航天工程是不错的选择,虽然许多理念可能需要花时间去理解,但只要坚持下去、努力付出,就能拥有出色的职业生涯。A项(坚持下去,不要放弃)能够概括作者的这条建议。B项(自信且能创造性地思考)文中未提及;C项(专注于工程学的一个领域)与作者being flexible and well-rounded(灵活变通、全面发展)的建议相悖;D项(尽早找实习工作)不正确,作者虽提到自己通过实习获得成长,但未明确建议青少年需要尽早找实习工作。
C篇
28~31. 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过分析小行星2024 YR4撞击地球的概率变化、潜在危害及防御策略,传递科学界对天体威胁的理性态度,强调数据更新与国际合作在风险评估中的重要性。
28. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过分析小行星2024 YR4撞击地球的概率变化、潜在危害及防御策略,传递科学界对天体威胁的理性态度,强调数据更新与国际合作在风险评估中的重要性。
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“The chance is expected to go up and down as researchers enhance their understanding of its orbit.”可知,随着研究人员对小行星轨道的理解加深,撞击概率会发生变化,即轨道计算的改进会导致概率变化。故选B项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Paul Chodas of NASAˈs Near-Earth Object Studies Centre echoes this, stating rising probabilities are expected and the risk will likely disappear. Such variations are common as new data emerges ...”可知,专家提到随着新数据的出现,概率变化是常见的,且风险可能会消失。据此推知,随着更多数据的出现,撞击概率可能会下降。故选D项。
30. 段落大意题。根据第四段“The ESA said, if the asteroid is smaller, the effect might be similar to that of the Tunguska event, which flattened thousands of square kilometres of forest in Siberia in 1908. But if the asteroid is larger, close to 100 metres in diameter, the effect will be significantly worse.”可知,该段主要讲述了不同大小的小行星可能造成的潜在破坏。故选B项。
31. 词义猜测题。根据第五段“In 2022 they successfully changed an asteroidˈs orbit by crashing a spacecraft into it …”可知,NASA通过撞击改变了小行星的轨道,这是deflecting an asteroid的具体行为。据此推知,deflecting意为“使转向,使改变轨道”,与redirecting意思相近。故选A项。
D篇
32~35. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是太空垃圾,以及太空垃圾对太空和地球造成的威胁。
32. 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,太空垃圾的定义是“任何在地球轨道上不再发挥有用功能的人造物体”,再结合选项可知,an abandoned space station意为“一个废弃的空间站”,它是在地球轨道上的人造物体,且不再发挥有用功能,可以被视为太空垃圾。故选A。
33. 代词指代题。根据画线词上文“It wonˈt be ... to locate it.”可知,科学家们正在试图找到坑的位置。由此可知,找到坑的位置可能需要长达28天,it指代的是“找到坑的位置”。故选B。
34. 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句可知,第三段主要告诉我们太空垃圾对卫星和国际空间站造成了潜在危险。由此可推知,作者提到2016年微小太空碎片造成的破坏是为了说明太空垃圾的潜在危险。故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句可知,太空垃圾还对地球本身构成威胁,碎片会在大气层里保留几十年,造成持久的威胁。故选B。
第二节 七选五 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
36~40. 【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章介绍了我们在生活中可以借鉴的宇航员的日常习惯。
36. 本文是说明文。文章介绍了我们在生活中可以借鉴的宇航员的日常习惯。
设空处前一句提到宇航员似乎天生与众不同,后一句则强调同样的习惯对我们在地球上的生活也有重要影响,否定了宇航员天生不同的观点,突出习惯的作用。可见设空处需要起到转折作用,引出“习惯”这一核心主题。C项(然而,让他们与众不同的不是天赋,而是习惯)中,However提示转折关系,habit则开启下文的核心内容,符合语境,其中them指代astronauts。A项(你可能认为他们天生就特别)简单重复了上文观点,无法引出文章主旨,故不可选。
37. 设空处为段落首句,且下文出现Second、Another、Finally等表顺序的词,说明文章为“总—分”结构,此处需介绍第一个分论点。由下文内容可知,本段介绍了宇航员会重复训练,这启示我们在生活中形成习惯,才能将更多的精力用在创造性工作上。D项(首先,宇航员会进行数年的基础任务训练,直到成为本能)点明本段介绍的宇航员的习惯。practice basic tasks for years与下文中的repetition相呼应。
38. 设空处后一句提到,这就是他们会针对各种“万一”情况进行训练的原因,可见设空处需要解释宇航员在问题出现前就做好准备的原因。B项(他们知道没有什么事情会完全按计划进行)点明宇航员会预判风险,为下文提供合理的解释。nothing ever goes according to plan呼应上文中的problems和下文中的“what if” situations。
39 设空处上文介绍了宇航员写工作日志的习惯,点明普通人也可以从中获益,设空处应具体说明普通人如何获益。G项(记录下你在何时何处工作效率最高,便能发现如何提升你的创造力)给出普通人可操作的记录方法,并点明了这样做的好处,符合语境。其中Record与上文中的keep detailed mission logs和Recording相呼应。E项(如果你开始尝试这些太空习惯,你会发现你可以更清晰地思考)对诸多太空习惯的好处做了整体总结,可总结全文,但those space habits太过笼统,偏离本段的主题。
40 本段强调要考虑全局,而非只关注瞬间。设空处后一句建议要思考故事的各个部分如何关联,以写故事为例,说明要如何Think in systems。设空处应该引出这个具体例子。F项(例如,写作时不要过于关注单个句子)点明例子的具体场景是写作,与下文中的story相呼应,donˈt pay too much attention to a single sentence也对写作场景下的not moments进行了说明,故符合语境。
第三部分:语言运用(共三节,满分45分)
第一节:完形填空(共15小题;每小题 1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第二节 语篇语法填空(10个小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
语篇解读:本文是一篇介绍人类太空探索发展史的说明文。文章以时间为线索,先讲述了早期人类将太空旅行视作空想,再依次介绍世界航天史上的标志性突破、太空探索的风险与意义,最后专门介绍中国载人航天、火星探测、天宫空间站等重大航天成就,展现了人类永不止步的探索精神。
56. 考查冠词。此处表示“一个无法实现的梦想”,表泛指,dream为可数名词,又因impossible的发音以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
57. 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,先行词为rockets,且空处在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
58. 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据“On 4 October 1957”可知,此处讲述的是过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时;主语“the Sputnik 1 satellite”和launch之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态;主语是第三人称单数,谓语用单数。
59. 考查名词复数。此处作主语,且根据空后的were可知,此处应用名词复数。

61. 考查介词。on board“在宇宙飞船上”为固定搭配,故用介词on。
62. 考查词形转换。此处为“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,空处和sad并列作宾语补足语,根据everyone可知,应用形容词disappointed,表示“失望的,沮丧的”。
63. 考查副词。空处修饰动词send,故用副词。
64. 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,此处应用动词不定式表目的,故填to explore。
65. 考查非谓语动词。signal的逻辑主语是前面的整个句子,故此处应用动词-ing形式作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。
