Passage A（基础科普类・太空探索的三大意义）

Why Do Humans Explore Space?

For thousands of years, humans have looked up at stars and dreamed of traveling beyond Earth. Many students wonder why countries spend billions on space missions. In fact, space exploration brings us three great values.

First, it helps us understand the whole universe and our own planet. With space telescopes and rovers on Mars, scientists study how planets form and find clues about ancient water on other worlds. These discoveries also warn us of environmental problems on Earth.

Second, space technology improves daily life. New materials, medical tools and weather satellites all come from space research. The high-tech cameras used in our phones were first made for spacecraft.

Third, space gives mankind hope for the future. Earth’s resources are limited. Mars and the moon may one day become new stations for human research. Some scientists even plan to build small bases there.

Space travel is full of risks, but every step into space opens a new world for humans. As long as we keep exploring, we will know more about what lies beyond Earth.

Passage B（中档叙事类・少年的航天梦）

Li Ming’s Space Dream

Li Ming, a Grade Nine student, fell in love with space after watching Tiangong Class live three years ago. When Wang Yaping showed weightless water balls in the space station, he made up his mind to become a space engineer.

At first, he met lots of difficulties. His physics grades were not good, and he could hardly understand how rockets launch. His science teacher told him that space exploration needs both imagination and solid basic knowledge. The teacher also advised him to read space books and model small spacecraft in his free time.

Li Ming took the advice seriously. He spent one hour every day reviewing physics and built paper models of Tianwen-1 and Zhurong rover on weekends. Last term, he joined the school space club and took part in a national youth space competition. He designed a small robot rover for moon surface research and won the second prize.

Li Ming said, “Many people think space exploration is far away from teenagers. But every small step of learning brings us closer to the stars. If we keep working hard, our dream of traveling beyond Earth will come true one day.”
