五、阅读理解。
Space exploration is no longer something that only astronauts can learn about. At River Middle School, Grade 8 students recently had a “Space Discovery Day”. The school wanted students to learn science in a more active way, so teachers prepared different hands-on activities for them.
In one classroom, students were watching videos about planets and satellites. In another room, they were building model rockets with paper and plastic bottles. Some students were drawing posters about life in space, while others were trying a simple experiment to understand how rockets move. Teachers walked around and encouraged students to ask questions, make guesses and test ideas.
One student said that he used to think science was only about reading books and remembering facts. However, the space activities changed his mind. He was taking notes during the museum-style talk when he suddenly understood why practice mattered. Another student said she wanted to read more about astronauts after the activity.
Teachers believed that space exploration was a wonderful theme because it could connect imagination with real learning. Students not only learned new facts, but also learned how to observe carefully and work with others.

A. To sell science books
B. To help students learn actively
C. To choose new teachers
D. To prepare for a race
2. What were students doing in another room?

D. Unnecessary
5. What is the best title for the passage?

B. Space Exploration in Daily Life
C. A School Day Full of Space Learning
D. How to Build a Real Rocket
【答案与解析】

五、阅读理解。
Space exploration is no longer something that only astronauts can learn about. At River Middle School, Grade 8 students recently had a “Space Discovery Day”. The school wanted students to learn science in a more active way, so teachers prepared different hands-on activities for them.
In one classroom, students were watching videos about planets and satellites. In another room, they were building model rockets with paper and plastic bottles. Some students were drawing posters about life in space, while others were trying a simple experiment to understand how rockets move. Teachers walked around and encouraged students to ask questions, make guesses and test ideas.
One student said that he used to think science was only about reading books and remembering facts. However, the space activities changed his mind. He was taking notes during the museum-style talk when he suddenly understood why practice mattered. Another student said she wanted to read more about astronauts after the activity.
Teachers believed that space exploration was a wonderful theme because it could connect imagination with real learning. Students not only learned new facts, but also learned how to observe carefully and work with others.
1. Why did River Middle School hold a “Space Discovery Day”?
A. To sell science books
B. To help students learn actively
C. To choose new teachers
D. To prepare for a race
2. What were students doing in another room?
A. Building model rockets
B. Cleaning the museum
C. Writing a test

D. Unnecessary
