三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever dreamed of a holiday in space? Some companies, like Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, are making space tourism a reality. They offer suborbital (亚轨道的) flights that take passengers to the edge of space. During the flight, you will experience several minutes of weightlessness and see the Earth from above.
The first tourist flights are expected to take place in the coming years. However, the tickets are not cheap — a seat costs about $250,000. But experts say that as technology improves, the price will drop. They believe that one day space travel will be as common as air travel.
Besides flying into space, several companies are planning to build space hotels. The first hotel could open before 2030. Guests will be able to look out at the stars and join in zero-gravity activities.
( ) 26. What can passengers experience during the suborbital flight?
A. Walking on the moon. B. Weightlessness.
C. Meeting aliens. D. Driving a spaceship.

C. Because it is very expensive. D. Because the technology is not ready.
( ) 29. When might the first space hotel open?
A. After 2040. B. Before 2030.
C. In 2500. D. It is already open.
( ) 30. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Future of Space Tourism B. The Dangers of Space Travel
C. Famous Astronauts D. How to Build a Rocket
B
China’s Tiangong space station has become a classroom in the sky. Since 2021, astronauts have given several space lectures to students on Earth. They show what happens to things in microgravity. For example, they turned a water ball into a lens (透镜) and put a ping-pong ball into water to see it sink.
These lectures are popular. Millions of students watch them online. “It made me realize how much fun science can be,” said a student from Hebei. Another said, “I used to think space was far away, but now it feels closer.”
The space lectures aim to encourage young people to develop an interest in space and science. Many schools also organize hands-on experiments related to the lessons. Teachers say the lectures inspire students to dream big.
( ) 31. Where did the astronauts give the lectures?
A. In a school hall. B. On the moon.
C. On the Tiangong space station. D. In a science museum.
( ) 32. What did the astronauts turn a water ball into?
A. A star. B. A mirror. C. A ping-pong ball. D. A lens.
( ) 33. What does the underlined word “microgravity” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. 高温 B. 微重力 C. 强辐射 D. 高速
( ) 34. How do students feel about the space lectures?
A. They are boring. B. They make space feel closer.
C. They are too difficult. D. They have no effect.
( ) 35. What is the main purpose of the space lectures?
A. To teach adults about planets. B. To train future astronauts.
C. To inspire young people’s interest in science. D. To sell tickets for space travel.
C
Living on Mars is not a dream, but it is certainly not easy. The planet has a very thin atmosphere, so there is no fresh air. Temperatures can drop to -80℃ at night. Radiation (辐射) from the sun is also a big danger, because Mars has no magnetic field (磁场) like Earth.
To live there, humans will need special houses that can provide oxygen, keep the temperature comfortable and block radiation. Food will have to be grown indoors under LED lights. Every drop of water must be recycled. A trip to Mars takes about seven months, so communication with Earth is slow — a message can take up to 22 minutes to arrive.
Still, scientists are working hard on these problems. Several countries plan to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s or 2040s. Perhaps one day, Mars will truly be our second home.
( ) 36. Why is the atmosphere on Mars a problem?
A. It is too thick. B. It has no oxygen.
C. It rains too often. D. It makes the planet too hot.
( ) 37. What will people need to grow food on Mars?
A. Sunlight from windows. B. LED lights indoors.
C. Soil from Earth. D. Chemical fertilizers.
( ) 38. How long does a message from Mars take to reach Earth?
A. A few seconds. B. About 22 minutes.
C. Seven months. D. More than a year.
( ) 39. Which of the following is NOT a challenge of living on Mars mentioned in the passage?
A. Low temperatures. B. Strong radiation.
C. Many sandstorms. D. Slow communication.
( ) 40. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. No one wants to go to Mars. B. Scientists are positive about solving the problems.
C. Mars will be ready for people in five years. D. Space agencies have given up the Mars plan.
