Second,gravity.Mars has only 38%of Earth's gravity.Long-term effects oflow gravity on human health are still poorly understood.Astronauts on the International Space Station experience bone density loss and muscle weakening after just six months.A joumney to Mars takes about seven months,and a stay could last years.Without sufficient gravity,humans might suffer serious health problems unable to walk properly upon returning to Earth. Third,psychological isolation.Crews would be millions of kilometers from home,with communication delays of up to 20 minutes one way.They would face extreme confinement,monotony,and the knowledge that rescue is impossible if something goes wrong.Studies of Antarctic research stations show that isolation can lead to depression,anxiety and interpersonal conflicts.A Mars mission would magnify these problems. Fourth,resource limitations.Mars lacks liquid water on its surface,though ice exists beneath the soil. Growing food would require advanced hydroponic systems.Energy would likely come from solar panels or small nuclear reactors.Every kilogram of supplies sent from Earth costs thousands of dollars.Self sufficiency is essential,but achieving it on a barren planet is enormously challenging Despite these obstacles,many experts remain optimistic.Private companies like SpaceX are developing reusable rockets to lower costs.NASA's Artemis program aims to establish a lunar base as a stepping stone.Technologies for in-situ resource utilization-using materials found on Mars to produce fuel,water, and oxygen-are advancing.The next decade may see the first human footprints on the Red Planet. ()1.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To argue that Mars settlement is impossible B.To describe the difficulties of living on Mars C.To compare Mars with Earth D.To promote space tourism. ()2.What makes radiation a serious threat to Mars colonists? A.Mars's thin atmosphere provides little protection. B.The trip to Mars is very long C.Shielding materials are too heavy. D.All of the above. ()3.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT a challenge mentioned? A.Low gravity effects on health. B.Psychological stress from isolation. C.High cost of launching rockets D.Lack of liquid water on Mars. ()4.Why does the author mention studies of Antarctic research stations? A.To show that isolation problems are manageable B.To illustrate potential psychological issues on Mars. C.To suggest that living on Mars is similar to living in Antarctica. D.To argue that only trained astronauts can handle isolation. ()5.What can be inferred about the future of Mars settlement? A.It is unlikely within the next century. B.It depends on technological progress. C.It will be achieved by private companies alone. D.It has been abandoned by space agencies. Passage 2 Since the dawn of the space age,intemational cooperation has been a driving force behind humanity's greatest achievements in space.The Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union initially fueled the race to the Moon.But in recent decades,the spirit of collaboration has replaced confrontation,leading to remarkable breakthroughs. The most outstanding example is the International Space Station (ISS).Fifteen nations,including the United States,Russia,Japan,Canada,and eleven European countries,worked together to build and operate this orbiting laboratory.Since its first module launched in 1998,the ISS has hosted astronauts from 19 counties,conducting thousands of experiments in biology,physics,and astronomy.The station has proven that nations can pool resources and expertise to accomplish what none could achieve alone. However,maintaining such cooperation is not always easy.Geopolitical tensions sometimes threaten collaborative projects.In 2014,Westemn sanctions against Russia after the Crimea crisis created friction in ISS operations.Yet both sides continued working together,recognizing that the station's success depended on mutual trust.More recently,Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 led to further strain,but the ISS partnership has largely survived,with astronauts continuing to share rides to orbit. Looking ahead,the next major collaborative endeavor is the Artemis program,led by NASA but involving many international partners.The goal is to retumn humans to the Moon and establish a sustainable presence.Canada,Japan,and the European Space Agency are contributing key technologies, such as lunar rovers and habitation modules.The Artemis Accords,signed by 27 counties as of 2024,set principles for peaceful and transparent space exploration. Beyond the Moon,Mars exploration is also becoming international.The UAE's Hope probe,China's Tianwen-1 mission,and NASA's Perseverance rover all anived at Mars within months ofeach other in 2021.Data sharing among these missions enhances scientific retumn.The European Space Agency and Russia had planned the ExoMars rover,though the partnership was paused due to the Ukraine conflict. Private companies are now joining the cooperative landscape.SpaceX's Starship,designed for deep space travel,could be used by NASA and other agencies.Blue Origin is developing lunar landers.These partnerships between public agencies and private firms represent a new model for space exploration. In conclusion,space exploration is too expensive and complex for any single nation to undertake alone. International cooperation not only shares costs and risks but also promotes peace and understanding.As we venture further into the solar system,our ability to work together will determine how far we can go. ()1.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The history of the International Space Station. B.The importance of international cooperation in space exploration C.The challenges of space exploration D.The role of private companies in space. ()2.How did geopolitical tensions affect the ISS according to the passage? A.They caused the ISS to be abandoned. B.They created difficulties but the partnership continued. C.They led to Russia withdrawing from the ISS D.They had no impact on the ISS ()3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a current intemational space project? A.Artemis program. B.Mars exploration missions. C.Building a space hotel D.The Intemational Space Station. ()4.What does the author suggest about private companies like Spacex? A.They are replacing government agencies. B.They are cooperating with space agencies. C.They are focused only on tourism. D.They are not welcome in international projects ()5.The author's attitude toward international cooperation in space can be described as: A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Neutral. D.Doubtful 二、完形填空 Becoming an astronaut is one of the most challenging career paths in the world.The selection process is extremely competitive,and those who are chosen must(1) rigorous training.The joumney begins with basic qualifications:a bachelor's degree in engineering,biological science,physical science, or mathematics,and at least three years of professional experience.Many applicants also have advanced degrees or piloting(②) Once selected,candidates enter a two-year training program at NASA's Johnson Space Center.They learn about spacecraft systems,robotics,and spacewalk techniques.They also study Russian-the language (3) on the International Space Station.Physical fitness is a must,astronauts train in swimming,scuba diving,and even wilderness(4) to prepare for emergencies.

China's space program has achieved remarkable progress in the past two decades.The country sent its first astronaut,Yang Liwei,into orbit in 2003,making it the third nation to independently achieve manned spaceflight.Since then,China has built its own space station,Tiangong,which means"Heavenly Palace." The station's core module,Tianhe,was launched in April 2021.By 2023,the station was fully operational,with three astronauts rotating every six months. One of China's most ambitious projects is the lunar exploration program,Chang'e.In 2019,Chang'e-4 made history by landing on the far side of the Moon,a feat never accomplished before.The mission included a rover that explored the surface and sent back data.In 2020,Chang'e-5 successfully returned lunar samples to Earth-the first such return in 44 years. China has also turned its attention to Mars.The Tianwen-1 mission,launched in July 2020,anived at Mars in February 2021.It consisted of an orbiter,a lander,and a rover named Zhurong.Zhurong successfully landed on the Martian surface in May 2021,making China the second country after the United States to land and operate a rover on Mars. Looking ahead,China plans to send astronauts to the Moon by 2030.The country is developing a new generation of rockets and spacecraft capable of lunar landing.International cooperation is also growing: China has invited partners to use its space station and has signed agreements with Russia for a joint lunar research station. 1.When did China send its first astronaut into space? 2.What is the name of China's space station? 3.Which Chang'e mission landed on the far side of the Moon? 4.What did Chang'e-5 bring back to Earth? 5.Which country is the only other nation besides the US to operate a rover on Mars? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Space exploration is not just about(1) (satisfy)human curiosity,it brings practical benefits to life on Earth.Many technologies developed for space missions have found(2) (apply)in everyday products.For example,memory foam,used in pillows and mattresses,was originally designed (3) improve crash protection in aircraft seats.GPS(Global Positioning System),which we rely on for navigation,depends on satellites in orbit.Weather forecasting,communications,and even banking rely on satellite technology. Medical advancements have also come from space research.The technology used to (4) (monitor)astronauts'health has led to portable devices for patients.Experiments on the International Space Station have helped scientists understand bone loss and muscle weakening,(5) (lead)to better treatments for osteoporosis on Earth. In addition,space exploration inspires young people to study science and engineering.The excitement of watching a rocket launch or seeing images from Mars encourages(6)(innovate)thinking Many astronauts,such as Mae Jemison and Chris Hadfield,use their fame to promote education. However,space exploration requires significant(7)(invest).Some critics argue that the money (8) (spend)on space programs could be better used to solve problems like poverty and climate change.Supporters respond that space technology helps monitor climate change,(9) (provide) essential data for environmental policies.They also point out that the economic returns from space-related industries far exceed the initial costs. As we look to the future,the question is not whether we should explore space,but how we can do so(10) (responsibility).International cooperation,cost-sharing,and sustainable practices will be key to ensuring that space exploration benefits all ofhumanity. 2. 4. 5. 6. 7 8. 9. 10. 五、写作 假设你是李华，你的美国朋友T写信询问你对太空探索的看法。请你给他写一封回信，内容 包括： 1.你认为太空探索很重要（至少两个理由）； 2.举例说明中国在太空探索方面的成就： 3.鼓励他关注太空探索。 注意： 1.词数100-120左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯： 3.开头和结尾已为你写好（不计入总词数)。 Dear Tom, I'm glad to receive your letter asking about my view on space exploration.
