China’s Success in Space Farming China has sent seeds into space over 30 times and has grown more than 700 kinds of crops till now.China stays No.1 in the number of different crops used in its space program.Space farming has created economic benefits (利益)of over 200 billion yuan. A report card by Li Hua From Class 3, Grade 9, No.1 Middle School 1.( )Who is the writer of this mini book? A.A scientist. B.A teacher. C.A student. D.A spaceman. 2.( )How many kinds of crops has China grown in space till now? A.About 30. B.Over 700. C.More than 200. D.Less than 39. 3.( )What is China’s best success in space farming? A.The longest history of growing crops. B.The most delicious space crops. C.The shortest growth time of space crops. D.The largest number of different space crops. B First Man is a picture book.It tells the story of Yang Liwei and his trip to space. As we all know, Yang Liwei is China’s first astronaut to fly into space.Yang was born on 21 June 1965 in the city of Huludao, Liaoning Province.When he was 38 years old, he took the Shenzhou spaceship to space. To help people get to know the Chinese space hero better and learn about his trip to space, the picture book was born.It is based on Yang’s autobiography (自传)Long March to Space.In 2021, One Day in Space, a passage from Yang’s book, was included in the seventh-grade textbook in Chinese middle schools. Yang Liwei left for space at nine on the morning of 15 October 2003 and came back to the earth at 6:23 on the afternoon of 16 October.During the about 21-hour stay in space, he flew around Earth 14 times.With great pictures and simple words, the book tells an exciting story as well as space science in an interesting way.From the book, we know that it is really hard for people to travel in space.There is no gravity (重力)in space, so people don’t feel comfortable.Yang’s story tells us that nothing is impossible for a willing heart. Wu Xiaoxi came up with the idea of writing such a book.“There is a surprise in the book for readers—a picture of a rabbit looking at the moon,” Wu says.“China plans to send people to the moon by 2030.We hope to write nice picture books at that time.” 4.( )What can we know about Yang Liwei according to Para.2? ①his family ②his birthday ③his personality (性格) ④his look ⑤his job ⑥his hometown A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.②⑤⑥ 5.( )What does the underlined word “surprise” in the last paragraph refer to? A.A picture of the moon. B.A picture of humans on the moon. C.A picture of a rabbit looking at the moon. D.A picture of a spaceship flying to the moon. 6.( )What’s the purpose of writing this passage? A.To show China’s space dream. B.To share a nice book about space. C.To introduce an astronaut —Yang Liwei. D.To tell the history of the Shenzhou spaceship. C 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 (系统). Scientists say the solar system (太阳系)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.Most stars far away from us are moving faster and faster.This surprises scientists, because they expected gravity (引力)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. 7.( )What is the moon according to the passage? A.A planet that goes around the sun. B.A star like the sun in the universe. C.A body that circles around Earth. D.A form of energy in space. 8.( )What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Long. B.Endless. C.Ancient. D.Important. 9.( )Which can most probably show the right timeline? 10.( )What is the best title for the passage? A.Earth’s Long Life B.The Secrets of the Universe C.Scientists’ Study of the Stars D.The Universe and Our Place in It D In 2024, a great scientific discovery amazed the world.Chinese scientists have already found a new method to produce water on the moon, which could change how we think about living on the moon in the future! They wrote about their discovery in a science magazine called The Innovation.Their discovery shows that by using lunar soil (月壤), scientists can create a lot of water on the moon. In the past, missions to the moon showed that there might be ice at the moon’s north and south poles (极).However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil—only a little bit, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent, which makes it hard to find and use water there.So it’s difficult for people to expect to live on the moon. The researchers, however, found something exciting, after studying the rocks and soil from the moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft.One of the exciting things they discovered is that lunar soil melts (熔化)when it reaches over 1,000 .When it begins to melt, it produces water vapor (蒸气).They learned that just 100g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water.So, if we had one ton of lunar soil, we could get between 51kg and 76kg of water.That’s enough to give drinking water to 50 people for one day! All in all, this research opens up new possibilities for finding water on the moon.It’s important for future trips to the moon and people who might live there someday.As we learn more about how to make water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the moon.This discovery could help make that dream come true! 11.( )Why does the writer mention the earlier research in Paragraph 2? A.To show that it was totally wrong. B.To compare it with the new discovery. C.To prove that there is no running water on the moon. D.To explain why people wanted to live on the moon before. 12.( )What condition is needed for lunar soil to produce water vapor according to the passage? A.It needs to be mixed with ice from the moon’s poles. B.It needs to be brought back to Earth by a spacecraft. C.It needs to reach a temperature over 1,000 and melt. D.It needs to be stored in a special box for a few days. 13.( )How much water may scientists get if they have 1,000g of lunar soil? 14.( )What’s the writer’s attitude (态度)towards the dream of humans living on the moon? A.Hopeful. B.Worried. C.Surprised. D.Doubtful. 15.( )Where may the passage come from? A.A travel magazine. B.A science magazine. C.A sports website. D.A health report. 三、阅读表达。 阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。 In ancient times, there was the legend of “Chang’e flying to the moon”.In the Ming Dynasty, the first solid (固体的)rocket was tested.Chinese people have always dreamed of flying into the sky for thousands of years.Here’s how things have developed. Flying into the space On 24 April 1970, China’s first man-made satellite was sent up into space.In memory of this success, that day was made Space Day of China.Since then, the country has been on a challenging but hopeful space journey.The Shenzhou spacecraft was launched in 2003.Yang Liwei became China’s first astronaut to go into space. Exploring the moon In 2007, Chang’e-1 was launched.It took photos of the moon.Information collected by Chang’e-1 was used to create a 3D map of the moon’s surface.In January 2019, Chang’e-4 lander put its Yutu-2 rover(月球车)on the far side of the moon.In November 2020, China launched the Chang’e-5 spacecraft.It collected samples(样本)from the moon. Setting up the space lab In 2011, the first space lab Tiangong-1 was sent into orbit (轨道).And Liu Yang became the first Chinese woman in space in 2012.In 2016, China launched its second space lab, Tiangong-2 into orbit.In June 2021, the Shenzhou spaceship lifted off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre, which was the first time that Chinese people had entered our own space station. No pains, no gains.These achievements were hard-won.Over the years, Chinese scientists have overcome many difficulties and have achieved success.That is also called the China Space Spirit. 1.When is Space Day of China? _ 2.What’s the task of the Chang’e-5 spacecraft? _ 3.Who is China’s first astronaut to go into space? _ 4.What did the Shenzhou spaceship’s success represent? _ 5.Will you take part in space exploration when you grow up?
