The first Chang’e satellite was launched in 2007, marking the start of China’s journey to the moon. Since then, several missions have been sent to explore the lunar surface. In 2013, Chang’e 3 landed on the moon and deployed the first Chinese lunar rover, Yutu. It took photos and collected data about the moon’s soil and rocks. In 2020, Chang’e 5 successfully brought back lunar samples to Earth, making China the third country to do so after the United States and the Soviet Union. These missions not only help us learn more about the moon’s history but also lay a foundation for future human landing on the moon. Scientists hope that one day, humans will be able to build a base on the moon and use its resources to support further space exploration. 26. When was the first Chang’e satellite launched? A. In 2007. B. In 2013. C. In 2020. D. In 2010. 27. What did Chang’e 3 do on the moon? A. Brought back lunar samples. B. Deployed a lunar rover. C. Built a base on the moon. D. Sent data to Earth. 28. Which country did NOT bring back lunar samples before China? A. The United States. B. The Soviet Union. C. Japan. D. None of the above. 29. What is the purpose of China’s Chang’e program? A. To build a space station. B. To explore Mars. C. To learn about the moon and prepare for human landing. D. To send astronauts to the moon immediately. 30. What can we infer from the passage? A. China is the first country to explore the moon. B. Lunar exploration helps with future space missions. C. Chang’e 5 was the first Chang’e mission. D. The moon has no resources for humans to use. Passage 2 阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F) The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft that orbits around the Earth. It was built by several countries working together, including the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. Construction of the ISS began in 1998, and it has been continuously occupied by astronauts since 2000. Astronauts on the ISS conduct scientific experiments in many fields, such as biology, physics, and astronomy. They also study how the human body reacts to living in a weightless environment. The ISS is a symbol of international cooperation in space exploration. The ISS travels at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour, completing an orbit around the Earth every 90 minutes. Astronauts can see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day from the station. In recent years, private companies have also started sending astronauts to the ISS. 31. The ISS is built by the United States alone. 32. The ISS has been occupied by astronauts since 2000. 33. Astronauts on the ISS only do physics experiments. 34. The ISS orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes. 35. Private companies have never sent astronauts to the ISS. Passage 3 Mars is often called the “Red Planet” because of its reddish appearance. For many years, scientists have been interested in exploring Mars to see if there was ever life there, and if it could support life in the future. In 2021, NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars. Its main tasks are to look for signs of ancient microbial life, collect rock samples, and prepare for future human missions. The rover also carried a small helicopter called Ingenuity, which made the first powered flight on another planet. China’s Tianwen-1 mission also arrived on Mars in 2021. It included an orbiter, a lander, and a rover named Zhurong. Zhurong has been exploring the Martian surface, studying its geology and atmosphere. This mission made China the second country to successfully land a rover on Mars. Mars exploration is challenging because of its harsh environment. The planet has a thin atmosphere, extreme temperatures, and dust storms. But scientists believe that learning about Mars can help us understand the history of our own solar system and find answers to questions about life beyond Earth. 36. Why is Mars called the “Red Planet”? A. Because it has red soil. B. Because of its reddish appearance. C. Because it is always covered in dust storms. D. Because it is far from the sun. 37. What is one of Perseverance’s main tasks? A. To build a base on Mars. B. To look for signs of ancient life. C. To carry humans to Mars. D. To study Earth’s atmosphere. 38. Which country’s rover is named Zhurong? A. NASA. B. Russia. C. China. D. Europe. 39. What challenge do Mars explorers face? A. Thick atmosphere. B. High temperatures. C. Dust storms. D. Lack of rocks. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of Mars exploration. B. Why Mars is a good place for humans. C. Recent missions and challenges of Mars exploration. D. How to send rovers to Mars. 四、任务型阅读 阅读短文，回答下列问题。 When I was in primary school, I didn’t care much about space. I thought it was something far away and not related to my life. My favorite subject was art, and I spent most of my free time drawing pictures of animals and landscapes. But everything changed when I watched a documentary about the Chang’e 5 mission. I was amazed by how scientists sent a spacecraft to the moon and brought back samples. I started reading books about space and watching videos of astronauts. I even joined the school’s science club, where we did small experiments about gravity and rockets. Now, I am in junior high school, and my dream is to become a space scientist. I study hard in math and science classes. Every weekend, I go to the city’s science museum to learn more about space technology. My parents are very supportive, and they often take me to stargazing events. I know that becoming a space scientist is not easy. I will face many difficulties, but I am ready to work hard for my dream. I hope one day I can contribute to China’s space exploration program and help humans learn more about the universe. 41.
