Space veteran and heroic Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell has died at the age of 97.
The American legend passed away peacefully on August 7, in Lake Forest, Illinois, with NASA leading tributes for the “unforgettable astronaut”, The Sun reported.
The proud Cleveland native was one of NASA’s most travelled astronauts, as he went to space a remarkable four times.
He was on board Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.
It was Captain Lovell who uttered the immortal words, “Houston, we have a problem” during the Apollo 13 mission. The expression entered popular culture and is still used informally to describe a sudden crisis.
Capt Lovell was hailed a hero after he managed to prevent a tragedy when disaster struck the three-man space crew during Apollo 13’s journey.
In April 1970, the spacecraft’s service module experienced a sudden oxygen tank explosion on its way to the moon.
Capt Lovell and fellow astronauts Jack Swigert and Fred Haise were plunged into darkness after the blast as the world watched on in dismay.
The astronauts survived despite spending four cold days stranded 200,000 miles (over 320,000km) from Earth.
In a nailbiting string of events, the astronauts’ only option was to cram into a lunar lander to attempt the gruelling journey back to Earth, guided by mission controllers.
Captain Lovell was just 42 years old at the time and the world’s most-travelled astronaut.
The journey was supposed to see Capt Lovell become the fifth man to walk on the moon but sadly he never set foot on the lunar surface.
Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy also paid tribute to Capt Lovell.
“NASA sends its condolences to the family of Capt. Jim Lovell, whose life and work inspired millions of people across the decades,” Mr Duffy said.
“Jim’s character and steadfast courage helped our nation reach the moon and turned a potential tragedy into a success from which we learned an enormous amount.
“We mourn his passing even as we celebrate his achievements.

太空老将、英勇的阿波罗13号任务指挥官吉姆·洛弗尔于97岁高龄逝世。
据《太阳报》报道,这位美国传奇人物于8月7日在伊利诺伊州莱克福里斯特安详离世,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)向这位“令人难忘的宇航员”致以深切哀悼。
这位来自克利夫兰的自豪之子是美国国家航空航天局(NASA)出访次数最多的宇航员之一,他曾四次进入太空,这一成就尤为非凡。
他曾乘坐过双子座7号、双子座12号、阿波罗8号和阿波罗13号航天器。
正是洛弗尔船长在阿波罗13号任务期间说了那句不朽的话:“休斯顿,我们遇到问题了。”这句话后来进入了流行文化,并至今仍被非正式地用来形容突发危机。
阿波罗13号任务途中,当三名宇航员遭遇灾难时,洛弗尔船长成功阻止了一场悲剧的发生,因此被誉为英雄。
1970年4月,该航天器的服务舱在前往月球途中遭遇氧气罐突然爆炸。
爆炸发生后,洛弗尔船长与宇航员杰克·斯威格特、弗雷德·海斯一同陷入黑暗之中,全世界都在震惊中目睹这一幕。
尽管在距离地球20万英里(超过32万公里)的太空中度过了四个寒冷的日子,宇航员们仍成功生还。
在一系列紧张刺激的事件中,宇航员们唯一的选择就是迅速登上月球着陆器,在任务控制人员的引导下,踏上艰难的返回地球之旅。
洛弗尔船长当时年仅42岁,是全球旅行次数最多的宇航员。
此次任务本应使洛弗尔船长成为第五位踏上月球表面的人,但遗憾的是他最终未能实现这一目标。
美国国家航空航天局代理局长肖恩·达菲也向洛弗尔上尉表达了敬意。
达菲先生表示:“美国国家航空航天局向吉姆·洛弗尔上尉的家人致以深切哀悼。他的生平与事业数十年来激励了全球数百万人。”
吉姆的品格与坚定不移的勇气,帮助实现了登月壮举。

Passage1阅读理解
(2026·四川省成都市成都外国语学校月考)From designing spacecraft to flying in one, Wang Jie, a crew member of China’s Shenzhou-20 mission, is ready to write his chapter in the country’s space exploration.
The 35-year-old’s space dream began in 2003 in a classroom in Urad Front Banner, Bayannur City of north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, about 400 kilometers from the landing site of the Shenzhou-5 return capsule. His middle school teacher wrote on the blackboard about astronaut Yang Liwei’s triumphant return to Earth, which marked the completion of China’s first crewed space mission. Wang Jie watched intently, and his cosmic aspirations took root in that historic moment.
Dreaming of the stars, Wang enrolled at Shenyang Aerospace University in north China to study aircraft manufacturing engineering. After earning his bachelor’s degree, he continued to study mechanics at Beihang University in Beijing. After obtaining his doctorate, Wang joined the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, devoting himself to cutting-edge spacecraft research and development. Over the years, his diligence earned him recognition as a seasoned lead designer.
Selected to be a member of China’s third batch of astronauts in 2020, Wang faced great challenges. Training in the weightlessness simulation water tank for extravehicular (舱外的) activities proved especially tough for him. During the training, he had to wear an underwater training suit and use his hands to control body positioning while performing tasks like extravehicular transfers, moving on and off the robotic arm and assembling equipment. A single training session could last five to six hours, pushing his physical limits to the extreme. He pushed himself to overcome his weaknesses. He consistently put in extra effort and was often the last one to leave the physical training area.
“I never dared to slack off during training and strived for every point in exams. Now, I have finally achieved my first flight, and I’m honored to contribute my efforts to advancing China’s space endeavors,” Wang said.
1.What inspired Wang’s space dream?
A.An unusual space-themed class. B.A direct sighting of Shenzhou-5.
C.A pioneering space achievement. D.An uplifting speech by Yang Liwei.
2.What can be inferred about Wang from paragraph 3?
A.He consistently worked toward his space ambition. B.He faced many challenges on his astronaut journey.
C.He played a major role in the development of CAST. D.He greatly revolutionized China’s space exploration.
3.What was difficult for Wang?
A.Seeking technical solutions. B.Meeting strict physical demands.
C.Grasping theoretical knowledge. D.Adapting to isolated environments.
4.What can we learn from Wang’s story?
A.A bold attempt is half success. B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Where there is a will, there is a way. D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
Passage2阅读理解
(重庆市2026届高考模拟调研卷(七))Growing up in the 60s and 70s included shared media experiences. With only a couple of TV channels to choose from, we watched world events together, and those events shaped our lives. For three days in 1972, I remember watching Gene Cernan, Ron Evans, and Harrison Schmitt spend a record-breaking 22 hours and 4 minutes conducting science experiments on the moon’s surface.
After dinner on December 11, I dutifully brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. But on this night, instead of dragging myself to bed, my parents let me watch Apollo’s lunar rover (月球车). Over 500,000 people viewed the mission’s launch in person at Kennedy Space Center.
To say that vision of lunar exploration fired up my young mind is an understatement. Even though there was no Canadian space program nor women astronauts, I saw myself as an explorer. To me, Gene Cernan had super-powers. He had flown into space and now moved freely on that silent satellite in the night sky.
I wasn’t just fascinated by outer space. Inner space also called my name. Watching the television on Sunday nights, I wondered what it would be like to float in the depths of Jacques Cousteau’s ocean world or float upon the evening sky with birds. There are no bounds to a child’s imagination. In writing The Aquanaut,I wanted to reconnect with the joyous sense of possibility, where a young mind starts to piece together an image of what they might do when they grow older. As a seven-year old, every door was open to me, and with the right encouragement,I realized my dreams of exploring places where no human has been before. I hope The Aquanaut will encourage young readers to see the potential to pursue their curiosity and set a path forward to achieving their wildest dreams,because I know with certainty that anything is possible.
5.What does the writer’s childhood experience show?
A.Family rules are always strict about bedtime. B.A single event can lastingly shape a person’s future.
C.Shared TV viewing could unite people in the past. D.Children’s imagination is usually limited by reality.
6.What made the author’s childhood media experience special in the 60s and 70s?
A.The shared viewing of limited TV programs. B.The personal attendance at a rocket launch.
C.The availability of numerous TV channels. D.The possibility to watch TV very late every night.
7.What is the book The Aquanaut aimed at?
A.Documenting historical space exploration missions.
B.Sharing exciting underwater adventure stories.
C.Encouraging young people to pursue their curiosity.
D.Analyzing the science of oceans and outer space.
8.Why does the writer write the text?
A.To explain the writing process of her new book.
B.To describe the technical details of a moon landing.
C.To argue for more TV programs about exploration.
D.To share how a childhood inspiration led to her book.
Passage 3 阅读七选五
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. 1 However, it is difficult to survive this adventure.
First, a roundtrip to Mars causes many extra health risks. For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles. For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. 2 Luckily, artificial gravity machines could help.
Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. 3 This increases the risk of developing the diseases. Taking certain vitamins could reduce the impacts.
4 Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory.
Planning a trip to Mars isn’t just about keeping astronauts safe. 5 Humans are filled with microbes (微生物). And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets.
A.Exploring space always comes with risks.
B.It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts.
C.They can’t restock like astronauts on the space station do.
D.On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure.
E.That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars.
F.This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications.
G.Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges.

A three-page letter of reply arrived in a month. Shenzhou ⅩⅣ astronaut Chen Dong responded to her 8 . In the letter, he recalled how he became an astronaut. “During the practice, every inch of my skin, my cells was put under 9 pressure. It felt like my internal organs were being ‘displaced’,” he said. His strengthened 10 went on for six years. He finally 11 for the mission in space. It was his 12 that kept him going when he was feeling tired and lost, he wrote. “Life is like the 13 , which comes with different weather. It is not all sunny days. Don’t fear 14 in life…”
The letter stuck in Chen’s mind. She 15 to become a researcher and hopes she can contribute to China’s aerospace development.

太空老将、英勇的阿波罗13号任务指挥官吉姆·洛弗尔于97岁高龄逝世。
据《太阳报》报道,这位美国传奇人物于8月7日在伊利诺伊州莱克福里斯特安详离世,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)向这位“令人难忘的宇航员”致以深切哀悼。
这位来自克利夫兰的自豪之子是美国国家航空航天局(NASA)出访次数最多的宇航员之一,他曾四次进入太空,这一成就尤为非凡。
他曾乘坐过双子座7号、双子座12号、阿波罗8号和阿波罗13号航天器。
正是洛弗尔船长在阿波罗13号任务期间说了那句不朽的话:“休斯顿,我们遇到问题了。”这句话后来进入了流行文化,并至今仍被非正式地用来形容突发危机。
阿波罗13号任务途中,当三名宇航员遭遇灾难时,洛弗尔船长成功阻止了一场悲剧的发生,因此被誉为英雄。
1970年4月,该航天器的服务舱在前往月球途中遭遇氧气罐突然爆炸。
爆炸发生后,洛弗尔船长与宇航员杰克·斯威格特、弗雷德·海斯一同陷入黑暗之中,全世界都在震惊中目睹这一幕。
尽管在距离地球20万英里(超过32万公里)的太空中度过了四个寒冷的日子,宇航员们仍成功生还。
在一系列紧张刺激的事件中,宇航员们唯一的选择就是迅速登上月球着陆器,在任务控制人员的引导下,踏上艰难的返回地球之旅。
洛弗尔船长当时年仅42岁,是全球旅行次数最多的宇航员。
此次任务本应使洛弗尔船长成为第五位踏上月球表面的人,但遗憾的是他最终未能实现这一目标。
美国国家航空航天局代理局长肖恩·达菲也向洛弗尔上尉表达了敬意。
达菲先生表示:“美国国家航空航天局向吉姆·洛弗尔上尉的家人致以深切哀悼。他的生平与事业数十年来激励了全球数百万人。”
吉姆的品格与坚定不移的勇气,帮助实现了登月壮举。

Passage1阅读理解
(2026·四川省成都市成都外国语学校月考)From designing spacecraft to flying in one, Wang Jie, a crew member of China’s Shenzhou-20 mission, is ready to write his chapter in the country’s space exploration.
The 35-year-old’s space dream began in 2003 in a classroom in Urad Front Banner, Bayannur City of north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, about 400 kilometers from the landing site of the Shenzhou-5 return capsule. His middle school teacher wrote on the blackboard about astronaut Yang Liwei’s triumphant return to Earth, which marked the completion of China’s first crewed space mission. Wang Jie watched intently, and his cosmic aspirations took root in that historic moment.
Dreaming of the stars, Wang enrolled at Shenyang Aerospace University in north China to study aircraft manufacturing engineering. After earning his bachelor’s degree, he continued to study mechanics at Beihang University in Beijing. After obtaining his doctorate, Wang joined the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, devoting himself to cutting-edge spacecraft research and development. Over the years, his diligence earned him recognition as a seasoned lead designer.
Selected to be a member of China’s third batch of astronauts in 2020, Wang faced great challenges. Training in the weightlessness simulation water tank for extravehicular (舱外的) activities proved especially tough for him. During the training, he had to wear an underwater training suit and use his hands to control body positioning while performing tasks like extravehicular transfers, moving on and off the robotic arm and assembling equipment. A single training session could last five to six hours, pushing his physical limits to the extreme. He pushed himself to overcome his weaknesses. He consistently put in extra effort and was often the last one to leave the physical training area.
“I never dared to slack off during training and strived for every point in exams. Now, I have finally achieved my first flight, and I’m honored to contribute my efforts to advancing China’s space endeavors,” Wang said.
1.What inspired Wang’s space dream?
A.An unusual space-themed class. B.A direct sighting of Shenzhou-5.
C.A pioneering space achievement. D.An uplifting speech by Yang Liwei.
2.What can be inferred about Wang from paragraph 3?
A.He consistently worked toward his space ambition. B.He faced many challenges on his astronaut journey.
C.He played a major role in the development of CAST. D.He greatly revolutionized China’s space exploration.
3.What was difficult for Wang?

C.Grasping theoretical knowledge. D.Adapting to isolated environments.
4.What can we learn from Wang’s story?
A.A bold attempt is half success. B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Where there is a will, there is a way. D.A good beginning makes a good ending.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.C
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了神舟20号机组成员王杰受到中国首次载人航天任务的启发,进行了相关的研究,克服了艰苦的宇航员训练,最终实现了他的太空梦想。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“The 35-year-old’s space dream began in 2003 in a classroom in Urad Front Banner, Bayannur City of north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, about 400 kilometers from the landing site of the Shenzhou-5 return capsule. His middle school teacher wrote on the blackboard about astronaut Yang Liwei’s triumphant return to Earth, which marked the completion of China’s first crewed space mission. Wang Jie watched intently, and his cosmic aspirations took root in that historic moment. (这位35岁的宇航员的太空梦始于2003年,在中国北部内蒙古自治区巴彦淖尔市乌拉特前旗的一间教室里,那里距离神舟5号返回舱的着陆点约400公里。他的中学老师在黑板上写着宇航员杨利伟成功返回地球的故事,这标志着中国首次载人航天任务的完成。王杰聚精会神地看着,他对宇宙的渴望在那个历史性的时刻生根发芽。)”可知,王杰的太空梦始于2003年,当时中学老师在黑板上讲解航天员杨利伟 “凯旋归来”,而这一事件标志着“中国首次载人航天任务的完成”。这一“开创性的航天成就”(中国首次载人航天)正是激发他太空梦的关键。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Dreaming of the stars, Wang enrolled at Shenyang Aerospace University in north China to study aircraft manufacturing engineering. After earning his bachelor’s degree, he continued to study mechanics at Beihang University in Beijing. After obtaining his doctorate, Wang joined the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, devoting himself to cutting-edge spacecraft research and development. Over the years, his diligence earned him recognition as a seasoned lead designer.( 怀揣着星空梦的王杰考入了位于中国北方的沈阳航空航天大学,攻读飞机制造工程专业。获得学士学位后,他继续在北京航空航天大学学习力学。获得博士学位后,他加入了中国航天科技集团公司下属的中国空间技术研究院,致力于尖端航天器的研究和开发。多年来,他的勤奋使他作为一个经验丰富的首席设计师赢得了人们的认可。)”可知,从第三段可以推断出王杰一直在努力实现自己的太空抱负。故选A项。

During the training, he had to wear an underwater training suit and use his hands to control body positioning while performing tasks like extravehicular transfers, moving on and off the robotic arm and assembling equipment. A single training session could last five to six hours, pushing his physical limits to the extreme. (在舱外活动的失重模拟水槽训练对他来说尤其困难。在训练期间,他必须穿着水下训练服,在执行舱外转移、上下机械臂和组装设备等任务时,用双手控制身体定位。一次训练可能会持续五到六个小时,将他的身体极限推向极致。)”可知,王杰在训练中面临巨大挑战,尤其是“舱外活动失重模拟水槽训练”—— 需穿水下训练服、用手控制身体位置完成任务,单次训练长达 5到6 小时,“将身体极限推向极致”。这说明对他而言,“满足严苛的体能要求”很困难。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文可知,王杰从2003年种下太空梦,到求学、科研积累,再到2020年成为航天员后,通过“克服弱点、额外努力、最后离开训练场地”等严苛训练,最终实现首飞。由此可推知,他的经历体现“有志者事竟成”。故选C项。
Passage2阅读理解
(重庆市2026届高考模拟调研卷(七))Growing up in the 60s and 70s included shared media experiences. With only a couple of TV channels to choose from, we watched world events together, and those events shaped our lives. For three days in 1972, I remember watching Gene Cernan, Ron Evans, and Harrison Schmitt spend a record-breaking 22 hours and 4 minutes conducting science experiments on the moon’s surface.
After dinner on December 11, I dutifully brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. But on this night, instead of dragging myself to bed, my parents let me watch Apollo’s lunar rover (月球车). Over 500,000 people viewed the mission’s launch in person at Kennedy Space Center.
To say that vision of lunar exploration fired up my young mind is an understatement. Even though there was no Canadian space program nor women astronauts, I saw myself as an explorer. To me, Gene Cernan had super-powers. He had flown into space and now moved freely on that silent satellite in the night sky.
I wasn’t just fascinated by outer space. Inner space also called my name. Watching the television on Sunday nights, I wondered what it would be like to float in the depths of Jacques Cousteau’s ocean world or float upon the evening sky with birds. There are no bounds to a child’s imagination. In writing The Aquanaut,I wanted to reconnect with the joyous sense of possibility, where a young mind starts to piece together an image of what they might do when they grow older. As a seven-year old, every door was open to me, and with the right encouragement,I realized my dreams of exploring places where no human has been before. I hope The Aquanaut will encourage young readers to see the potential to pursue their curiosity and set a path forward to achieving their wildest dreams,because I know with certainty that anything is possible.
5.What does the writer’s childhood experience show?
A.Family rules are always strict about bedtime. B.A single event can lastingly shape a person’s future.
C.Shared TV viewing could unite people in the past. D.Children’s imagination is usually limited by reality.
6.What made the author’s childhood media experience special in the 60s and 70s?
A.The shared viewing of limited TV programs. B.The personal attendance at a rocket launch.
C.The availability of numerous TV channels. D.The possibility to watch TV very late every night.
7.What is the book The Aquanaut aimed at?
A.Documenting historical space exploration missions.
B.Sharing exciting underwater adventure stories.
C.Encouraging young people to pursue their curiosity.
D.Analyzing the science of oceans and outer space.
8.Why does the writer write the text?
A.To explain the writing process of her new book.
B.To describe the technical details of a moon landing.
C.To argue for more TV programs about exploration.
D.To share how a childhood inspiration led to her book.
【答案】5.B 6.A 7.C 8.D
【解析】本文主要介绍的是作者童年时期观看阿波罗登月直播的经历如何激发了她的探索精神,并最终促使她创作《潜水员》一书。
5.推理判断题。根据第三段“To say that vision of lunar exploration fired up my young mind is an understatement.(说月球探索的景象点燃了我年轻的心灵,这是轻描淡写的说法。)”以及最后一段“ As a seven-year old, every door was open to me, and with the right encouragement, I realized my dreams of exploring places where no human has been before. (作为一个七岁的孩子,每一扇门都向我敞开;在适当的鼓励下,我实现了探索那些人类从未踏足之地的梦想。)”可知,童年观看登月这一单一事件对作者产生了持久的深远影响,塑造了她的未来方向。
6.细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in the 60s and 70s included shared media experiences. With only a couple of TV channels to choose from, we watched world events together, and those events shaped our lives. (在60年代和70年代长大意味着共享的媒体体验。由于只有几个电视频道可供选择,我们一起观看世界大事,而这些事件塑造了我们的人生。)”可知,那个时期媒体体验的特殊之处在于电视节目有限,人们共同观看。
7.细节理解题。根据最后一段“I hope The Aquanaut will encourage young readers to see the potential to pursue their curiosity and set a path forward to achieving their wildest dreams, because I know with certainty that anything is possible. (我希望《潜水员》能鼓励年轻读者看到追求好奇心的潜力,并为他们实现最狂野的梦想铺平道路,因为我非常确定的知道一切皆有可能。)”可知,这本书旨在鼓励年轻人追求好奇心。
8.推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段“In writing The Aquanaut,I wanted to reconnect with the joyous sense of possibility, where a young mind starts to piece together an image of what they might do when they grow older. (在写《潜水员》一书时,我想重新找回那种充满可能性的喜悦感——那时,一颗年轻的心灵开始拼凑出自己长大后可能做什么的图景。)”可知,写作目的是分享童年灵感如何促成她的书。
Passage 3 阅读七选五
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. 1 However, it is difficult to survive this adventure.
First, a roundtrip to Mars causes many extra health risks. For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles. For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. 2 Luckily, artificial gravity machines could help.
Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. 3 This increases the risk of developing the diseases. Taking certain vitamins could reduce the impacts.
4 Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory.
Planning a trip to Mars isn’t just about keeping astronauts safe. 5 Humans are filled with microbes (微生物). And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets.
A.Exploring space always comes with risks.
B.It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts.
C.They can’t restock like astronauts on the space station do.
D.On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure.
E.That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars.
F.This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications.
G.Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges.
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.D 4.G 5.B

Passage 5 语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Three Chinese astronauts have safely returned to Earth in the recently-launched Shenzhou-21 spacecraft after their own spacecraft was declared unsafe. The three crew members were 1 (initial) scheduled to return to Earth Nov. 5, but their journey home 2 (postpone) “due to a suspected impact from tiny space debris (碎片)” to their ship. Their return was delayed for nine days, and their 204-day stay in space was the 3 (long) for any astronaut at China’s space station. After a nine-day wait, they finally headed home on the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft 4 transported the incoming crew, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA). Medical teams found that the astronauts were 5 good physical condition, Chinese state media outlet CCTV reported. “The path of humanity’s 6 (explore) of space is not smooth,” Chen Dong, one of the astronauts, told journalists after emerging from the capsule. “It’s filled with difficulties and challenges. But that is exactly why we choose to walk this path.” “I’m very proud that we successfully completed the mission...We have finally made 7 home safely.”
The 8 (damage) Shenzhou-20 ship had “a slight crack” in the window of its return capsule, likely caused by debris impact, 9 (make) it unsafe for the crew to return in, according to the CMSA.The ship will stay in orbit to carry out 10 (experiment) instead, the agency said.
【答案】
1.initially 2.was postponed 3.longest 4.that/which 5.in 6.exploration 7.it 8.damaged 9.making 10.experiments
【解析】这是一新闻报道。文章报道了三名中国宇航员因原乘组神舟二十号飞船受太空碎片影响不安全,换乘神舟二十一号飞船安全返回地球的事迹。
1.考查副词。句意:这三名宇航员原定于11月5日返回地球,但他们的返程行程因飞船遭遇“疑似微小太空碎片的撞击”而被推迟。根据动词scheduled可知,修饰动词需用副词,形容词initial的副词形式为initially,意为 “最初”,表 “最初计划于11月5日返回”。故答案为initially。
2.考查被动语态。句意:同上。因为主语their journey home与postpone之间为被动关系,动作发生在过去(原计划返回时间为过去),所以用一般过去时的被动语态,又因为主语是第三人称单数所以be动词用was。故答案为was postponed。
3.考查形容词最高级。句意:他们的返回时间推迟了九天,他们在太空的停留时间长达204天,这是中国空间站上任何宇航员所保持的最长停留纪录。分析句式结构可知,定冠词the后接形容词最高级,用long的最高级longest,表“中国空间站宇航员中最长的驻留时间”。故答案为longest。
4.考查定语从句。句意:经过九天的等待之后,他们终于乘坐“神舟二十一号”宇宙飞船返回了地球。据中国载人航天局称,已将新一批航天员送抵目的地。 分析句式结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词为the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft指物,且从句中缺主语,所以用关系代词that或which来引导。故答案为that/which。
5.考查介词。句意:据中国中央电视台报道,医疗团队发现这些宇航员身体状况良好。分析句意可知,此处用介词in构成固定短语in good physical condition意为“身体状况良好”,表医疗团队确认宇航员身体状态佳。故答案为in。
6.考查名词。句意:“人类探索太空的历程并非一帆风顺,”宇航员陈冬在走出返回舱后对记者们说道。根据空格前的humanity’s可知,名词所有格后接名词,explore 的名词形式为 exploration且是不可数名词,意为 “探索”,表 “人类的太空探索之路”。故答案为exploration。
7.考查固定搭配。句意:“我非常自豪我们成功完成了这次任务……我们终于平安返回了。” 根据空格前的made可知,此处用固定短语make it意为 “成功做到;顺利到达”,此处表 “我们终于安全到家了”,故答案为it。
8.考查过去分词。句意:据中国载人航天局称,受损的“神舟-20”号飞船返回舱的窗口出现了一处“细微裂缝”,这很可能是由于碎片撞击所致,因此无法让机组人员进入返回舱。分析句式结构可知,the Shenzhou-20 ship与damage之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词damaged作定语,表“受损的神舟二十号飞船”。故答案为damaged。
9.考查现在分词。句意:同上。分析句式结构可知,此处用现在分词表主动,作结果状语表示自然结果。故答案为making。
10.考查名词。句意:该机构表示,这艘飞船将留在轨道上进行实验。根据空格前的carry out可知,此处用固定短语carry out experiments表示“进行实验”,又因为experiment为可数名词,前面没有冠词等限定词,可知此处用复数形式experiments,表 “进行(多项)实验”。故答案为experiments。
