四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
A
So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.
Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.
Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission.
Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.
From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.
31.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Space scientists. B.Satellites and spaceships.
C.Public wishes for space exploration. D.Old stories and ancient famous people.
32.What do we know about Chang’e I according to the passage?
A.It is China’s first man-made satellite.
B.It carried the Jade Rabbit to the moon directly.
C.It is named after the story Chang’e Flies to the Moon.
D.It was the first satellite to communicate with the ground.
33.Why did the writer mention Mozi in the passage?
A.To show Mozi was the greatest scientist in ancient China.
B.To explain how China developed quantum communication.
C.To prove ancient scientists knew more about space than modern ones.
D.To give an example of naming a satellite after an ancient famous person.
34.What can we infer from the passage?
A.All Chinese satellites are named after ancient stories or people.
B.Ancient Chinese stories are more important than modern science.
C.Naming satellites after ancient culture can make them work better.
D.China’s traditional culture plays an important role in modern space technology.
35.What is the best structure of the passage?
A.①②③④/⑤ B.①②③/④/⑤ C.①/②③④/⑤ D.①/②/③④/⑤
B

Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years.However, we haven't found life on any other planet yet.
The earth is a planet and it 46 around the sun.Seven other planets also go around the sun.None of 47 has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them.The sun and its planets are 48 the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much 49 group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way.There are 50 of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.
Scientists have also 51 many other galaxies in the universe.They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to 52 us.So how large is the universe? It is 53 to imagine.
Scientists have sent 54 to the planet Mars to take photos.However, no spacecraft has travelled far enough to get to other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we 55 , or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? We do not know the answers yet.
七、短文填空。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered 56 they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were from gods or other 57 (mystery) worlds. However, as technology and science advanced, we learnt stars are real—like our sun—but farther away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit them?
The farthest man-made object is Voyager 1, 58 (launch) in 1977. It carries a record with Earth’s sounds and 59 (image)—in case it is found by alien life. Now over 25 billion km from Earth, it’s still far 60 Proxima Centauri—4.2 light years away (about 40 trillion km).
Time is a major problem: a Mars trip 61 (take) 6—9 months. Food, health, safety—and much 62 (long) journeys—become huge challenges. A star voyage might take 63 (hundred) of thousands of years.
Yet scientists don’t call it impossible. Ideas include astronaut hibernation or faster spacecraft. With global 64 (cooperate), necessary technology may one day 65 (develop). Humans have walked on the moon, landed rovers on Mars, and photographed other galaxies—so reaching the stars, once a dream, may one day become real.
八、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “We don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life is somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon communicate with them.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life is on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 13.8 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” said Shostak and Barnett. The other one is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 200 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Has intelligent life from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. In the near future, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
66.What made Shostak and Barnett believe that there is intelligent life on other planets?
67.Which galaxy is the Earth in?
68.Why is it possible to discover smaller planets in the universe now?
69.How may intelligent life contact us?
70.What do you think of intelligent life on other planets?
九、书面表达。(共10分)
71.假设你是中国航天员李华,正在中国太空站执行任务。联合国教科文组织邀请你与全球青少年视频连线,介绍你在太空站一天的工作与生活,并分享你的感受。请你结合以下提示,写一篇英文发言稿。词数80—120。

Dear young friends,
I am Li Hua, an astronaut from China. I am so glad to meet all of you here today.
In the morning, I use special machines to exercise and stay healthy. Eating in space is interesting! Our food comes in special bags, and we need to hold it tightly to prevent it from floating away. Sleeping here is fun too. I sleep in a sleeping bag tied to the wall! During work hours, I do experiments and sometimes go for spacewalks. It feels like flying! After work, I read books or talk with my family through video calls. Though I miss Earth, the view of stars outside is amazing.
My life here is busy but meaningful. I feel proud to be part of this journey. Thank you!

Unit 2 Beyond Earth·能力提升卷
学校:___________班级:___________姓名:___________分数:___________
(时间:90分钟,满分:100分)
一、单项选择。(本大题共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
1.It is ________ that human beings will set foot on Mars one day.
A.hoped B.thought C.said D.all of the above
【答案】D
【详解】句意:人们希望人类终有一天登陆火星。/人们认为人类终有一天登陆火星。/据说人类终有一天会登陆火星。
It is hoped that…人们希望……;It is thought that… 人们认为……;It is said that…据说……。这三个结构都符合固定结构“It is+过去分词+that从句”的用法,且语义都通顺合理,因此三个选项都正确。
2.The secrets of the universe are truly ________ our imagination.
A.past B.beyond C.beside D.behind
【答案】B
【详解】句意:宇宙的秘密真的超出了我们的想象。
past经过;beyond超出;beside在……旁边;behind在……后面。根据句意可知,宇宙的秘密深奥莫测,应该是“超出”了我们的想象范围,beyond imagination,故选beyond。
3.All kinds of space problems ________ solved with better technology later.
A.will be B.are C.were D.have
【答案】A
【详解】句意:各种各样的太空问题以后将会被更好的技术解决。
根据时间状语“later”可知句子时态为一般将来时;主语“All kinds of space problems”与动词“solve”之间是被动关系,需用“will be + 过去分词”结构。
4.—Why is a record put on Voyager 1?
—________ alien life finds it, they can know about Earth.
A.In case B.In time C.At present D.As soon as
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——为什么旅行者一号上放置了一张唱片?——以防外星生命发现它,它们能够了解地球。
In case以防,引导目的/条件状语从句;In time及时;At present目前;As soon as一……就……,引导时间状语从句。后半句是放置唱片的防备性目的,表达“以防”的含义,因此用In case。
5.Thousands of exoplanets ________ since scientists started space research.
A.discover B.discovered C.have been discovered D.will be discovered
【答案】C
【详解】句意:自从科学家开始太空研究以来,数千颗系外行星已经被发现了。
discover动词原形,一般现在时主动形式;discovered动词过去式/过去分词;have been discovered现在完成时被动语态;will be discovered 一般将来时被动语态。根据时间状语“since scientists started space research”可知,句子应用现在完成时;主语“Thousands of exoplanets”是动作“discover”的承受者,应用被动语态。现在完成时的被动语态结构为“have/has been+过去分词”,主语为复数,助动词用have。应填have been discovered。
6.China is one of the few countries that can ________ manned spacecraft independently.
A.launch B.land C.orbit D.explore
【答案】A
【详解】句意:中国是少数几个能够独立发射载人飞船的国家之一。
launch发射;land着陆;orbit环绕……运行;explore探索。根据“manned spacecraft”及常识可知,此处指具备独立“发射”载人飞船的能力。
7.Special food and oxygen ________ for astronauts in space.
A.must prepare B.must be prepared C.have prepared D.are preparing
【答案】B
【详解】句意:必须为太空中的宇航员准备特制的食物和氧气。
must prepare必须准备(主动语态);must be prepared必须被准备(被动语态);have prepared已经准备好(主动语态);are preparing正在准备(主动语态)。主语“Special food and oxygen”和动词“prepare”之间是被动关系,must be prepared符合语境。
8.Modern technology makes it ________ for humans to travel to space.
A.possible B.possibly C.impossible D.impossibly
【答案】A
【详解】句意:现代科技使得人类太空旅行成为可能。
possible可能的;possibly可能地;impossible不可能的;impossibly不可能地。固定句式make it + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth.,此处it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式“to travel to space”,空格位置需要安放形容词充当宾语补足语,因此副词形式的B、D可以直接排除。根据句意可知填possible。
9.I wonder ________ the rocket will be launched next month or not.
A.if B.whether C.that D.when
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我想知道火箭下个月是否会被发射。
if是否(不能与or not连用);whether是否;that引导陈述句,无实义;when何时。根据“wonder”和句意可知,此处为宾语从句,横线处表示“是否”,由“or not”可知,此处需要用whether来构成“whether...or not”的固定结构,表示“是否”,应填whether。
10.If it ________ tomorrow, the rocket launch will be put off.
A.rains B.will rain C.rained D.rain
【答案】A
【详解】句意:如果明天下雨,火箭发射将被推迟。
根据“主将从现”原则,主句是一般将来时,if引导的条件状语从句需用一般现在时表将来。主语it 是第三人称单数,谓语动词用rains。
11.—Have you ever ________ to the National Astronomy Museum?
—Yes, I ________ there with my classmates last summer.
A.been; went B.gone; went C.been; have gone D.gone; go
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——你曾经去过国家天文馆吗?——是的,我去年夏天和同学一起去了那里。
第一空根据“ever”可知是现在完成时,have been to表示“去过某地(已经返回,说话人在场)”,have gone to表示“去了某地(还未返回,说话人不在现场)”。本题中对方可以当面回答问题,说明已经从博物馆返回,因此第一空用been。第二空根据“last summer”可知是明确的过去时间状语,句子需要用一般过去时,因此用动词过去式went。
12.—A bicycle is often more _________ than a car in the city.
—Yes. The traffic is heavy.
A.convenient B.inexpensive C.meaningless D.fascinating
【答案】A
【详解】句意:在城市里,自行车往往比汽车更方便。没错,交通很拥堵。
convenient方便的;inexpensive廉价的;meaningless无意义的;fascinating吸引人的。根据“The traffic is heavy.”可知,拥堵路况下自行车出行更便捷,convenient贴合语境。
13.—Do you know ________ the space station will be completed?
—In 2022.
A.when B.where C.how D.why
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——你知道空间站将什么时候建成吗?——在2022年。
when什么时候;where在哪里;how 怎样;why为什么。根据答语“In 2022.”可知,是对时间提问,因此用when引导宾语从句。
14.People ________ that the sun moved around the earth, but now we know the truth.
A.used to believe B.are used to believe C.used to believing D.are used to believing
【答案】A
【详解】句意:人们曾经相信太阳绕着地球转,但现在我们知道真相了。
used to believe过去常常相信(表示过去的状态/习惯,现已改变);are used to believing习惯于相信(表示现在习惯);are used to believe被用来相信。“but now we know the truth”表明过去与现在形成对比,表示“过去认为……,现在不这样认为了”,应填used to believe。
15.Not only the commander but also all the crew members ________ ready for the next spacewalk.
A.is B.are C.has D.have
【答案】B
【详解】句意:不仅指令长,所有机组人员也都为下一次太空行走做好了准备。
is是(单数);are是(复数);has有(单数);have有(复数)。be ready for为固定短语,表示“准备好”;not only...but also连接主语时谓语就近一致,离动词最近的是“all the crew members”为复数,be动词应用are。
二、完形填空。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
通读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后在各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出一个最佳选项。
Today, we are going to talk about Wang Haoze, a member of the Shenzhou19 crew (乘组). In 2024, Wang Haoze became the third Chinese 16 to travel to space.
She was born in 1990 in Hebei Province. Her mother is a middle school teacher and her father is a policeman. 17 in a family like that, she learned the importance of working hard from an early age.
During her time at university, she showed great 18 ability, so she was always at the top of her class. In addition to studying, she was also a sports lover and often took part in sports competitions (比赛).
In 2015, Wang finished her studies and started working as a rocket engineer in Beijing. One day, she heard about the selection (选拔) of 19 and decided to try for it. About 2,500 people took part in it. Finally, Wang 20 all the tests and became the only woman among 18 astronauts.
From then on, Wang Haoze faced many new 21 . She went through 22 times at sea and in deserts. And one test was that she couldn't sleep for 72 hours. However, 23 could make her give up. “I kept going and after nearly 1,000 times of practice. I finally 24 the training standards,” Wang said. On October 30th, 2024, she was 25 sent into space with two other astronauts and realised her lifelong dream of travelling to space.
16.A.man B.woman C.student D.police
17.A.Growing up B.Waking up C.Looking up D.Getting up
18.A.sports B.painting C.music D.learning
19.A.engineers B.astronauts C.teachers D.scientists
20.A.failed B.found C.passed D.lost
21.A.changes B.choices C.chances D.challenges
22.A.relaxing B.comfortable C.free D.difficult
23.A.everything B.anything C.nothing D.something
24.A.found B.understood C.set D.met
25.A.successfully B.nearly C.usually D.secretly
【答案】
16.B 17.A 18.D 19.B 20.C 21.D 22.D 23.C 24.D 25.A
【导语】本文介绍了神舟十九号乘组女航天员王浩泽的成长经历、求学与工作历程,以及她通过不懈努力最终实现太空梦想的故事。
【详解】16.句意:2024年,王浩泽成为第三位进入太空的中国女性。
根据下文“became the only woman among 18 astronauts”可知,她是女性航天员。woman“女性”,符合语境。man“男性”;student“学生”;police“警察”,均不符合“女性航天员”的身份。
17.句意:在这样一个家庭中长大,她从小就懂得了努力的重要性。
根据“in a family like that”及“from an early age”可知,她是在这样的家庭环境中成长起来的。Growing up“成长”,符合语境。Waking up“醒来”;Looking up“向上看”;Getting up“起床”,均不符合“家庭成长环境”的语义。

四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
A
So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.
Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.
Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission.
Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.
From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.
31.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Space scientists. B.Satellites and spaceships.
C.Public wishes for space exploration. D.Old stories and ancient famous people.
32.What do we know about Chang’e I according to the passage?
A.It is China’s first man-made satellite.
B.It carried the Jade Rabbit to the moon directly.
C.It is named after the story Chang’e Flies to the Moon.
D.It was the first satellite to communicate with the ground.
33.Why did the writer mention Mozi in the passage?
A.To show Mozi was the greatest scientist in ancient China.
B.To explain how China developed quantum communication.
C.To prove ancient scientists knew more about space than modern ones.
D.To give an example of naming a satellite after an ancient famous person.
34.What can we infer from the passage?
A.All Chinese satellites are named after ancient stories or people.
B.Ancient Chinese stories are more important than modern science.
C.Naming satellites after ancient culture can make them work better.
D.China’s traditional culture plays an important role in modern space technology.
35.What is the best structure of the passage?
A.①②③④/⑤ B.①②③/④/⑤ C.①/②③④/⑤ D.①/②/③④/⑤
【答案】31.B 32.C 33.D 34.D 35.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国航天器以古代故事和人物命名的文化传统及其意义。
【详解】31.由第一段“Space scientists have been greatly inspired…when giving them names”可知,太空科学家在给“它们”命名时受到了启发。结合前一句“China has successfully sent a large number of satellites and spaceships into space”可知,科学家是给发射入太空的“卫星和宇宙飞船”命名,因此,“them”指代前文的“satellites and spaceships”(卫星和飞船)。
32.由第二段“China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I”及“named after the Jade Rabbit…old stories carry people‘s best wishes”可知,嫦娥一号以“嫦娥奔月”的故事命名。
33.由第四段“Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people”及“China’s first quantum science satellite was named Mozi”可知,作者提到墨子是为了举例说明以古代名人命名卫星的做法。
34.由最后一段“we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology”可知,中国传统文化对现代航天科技有着重要影响。
35.文章结构为:第一段引出话题;第二、三、四段分别举例说明以古代故事和人物命名航天器;第五段总结。

China’s Tiangong Space Station is set to welcome its first foreign visitor—a Pakistani (巴基斯坦的) astronaut. 36
According to the agreement signed on Feb. 28, 2025, the two countries will spend about a year looking for the best candidates (候选人) from Pakistan. 37
First, they will need to learn Chinese because it is the language used at the station. 38 After the trainees are ready, one of them will fly with the Chinese astronauts to the Tiangong Space Station. During their stay there, they will carry out at least one scientific experiment designed by Pakistani scientists, China Manned Space Agency said.
This mission is a huge achievement for Pakistan. 39 With China’s support, Pakistan may one day launch its own space missions.
40 It also sets a good example of space teamwork between developing countries.
A.This cooperation will lead to new ideas.
B.These candidates will later be sent to China for training.
C.Hopefully, Tiangong opens doors for more countries to join.
D.It will help the country learn more about space and train its own astronauts.
E.This is part of a new program between China and Pakistan to work together in space.
F.They will also need to train very hard to prepare themselves for a space mission.
【答案】36.E 37.B 38.F 39.D 40.A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道类的说明文。文章主要介绍了中国天宫空间站即将迎来首位外国访客——一名巴基斯坦宇航员,并详细阐述了中巴两国在太空合作项目中的候选人选拔、训练计划,以及此次合作对巴基斯坦和广大发展中国家的深远意义。
【详解】36.空格前一句提到“中国天宫空间站将迎来它的第一位外国访客——一位巴基斯坦宇航员”。空格处应当对这一事件的背景进行补充说明。选项E“This is part of a new program between China and Pakistan to work together in space.”(这是中巴两国在太空领域合作的新项目的一部分。)完美解释了为什么会有巴基斯坦宇航员来访,承接自然。
37.空格前一句指出两国将花大约一年时间寻找来自巴基斯坦的最佳“候选人”。选项B中不仅出现了原词复现的“These candidates”,而且“for training”完美引出了下一段关于具体训练内容(学习中文等)的介绍,起到了承上启下的作用。
38.空格所在段落主要讲述候选人的训练要求。空格前一句是第一项要求:“First, they will need to learn Chinese…”。选项F(他们还需要非常刻苦地训练,为太空任务做准备。)其中的“also need to”与前文的“First, … need to”构成清晰的并列递进关系,补充了另一项重要的训练内容。
39.空格前一句评价道:“This mission is a huge achievement for Pakistan.”。紧接着的空格处应当解释为什么这是个巨大成就。选项D“It will help the country learn more about space and train its own astronauts.”(这将帮助该国了解更多关于太空的知识,并训练自己的宇航员。)具体说明了这项任务给巴基斯坦带来的实质性好处,并且与后一句“巴基斯坦也许有一天能发射自己的太空任务”形成了严密的因果顺承关系。
40.空格后一句提到“It also sets a good example of space teamwork…”。句中的“also”提示前后两句是在并列陈述此次合作带来的积极影响;同时,句首的代词“It”需要在前句中寻找一个明确的单数名词指代对象。选项A“This cooperation will lead to new ideas.”(这次合作将带来新想法)填入此处,不仅在内容上(带来新想法)与后一句(树立好榜样)构成了并列的积极意义,而且其主语“This cooperation”完美充当了下一句中“It”的指代对象,上下文衔接极其严密。
五、单词拼写。(本大题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
41.You need to c________ with your teammates to finish the task.
【答案】cooperate/ooperate
【详解】句意:你需要与队友合作完成任务。根据首字母提示“c”以及“with your teammates”,此处表示“合作”。动词cooperate“合作”符合语境,且“cooperate with”为固定搭配,意为“与……合作”,need to do sth.结构中to后接动词原形,故填cooperate。
42.The company decided to c________ the next space activity.
【答案】cancel/ancel
【详解】 句意:公司决定取消下一次太空活动。所给首字母为c,结合“decided to…the next space activity”可知,需要填入一个表示“取消”的动词,英文单词cancel符合语境,to后接动词原形。故填cancel。
43.The s________ shows most people like reading. They think reading can open up their eyes.
【答案】survey/urvey
【详解】句意:这项调查显示大多数人喜欢阅读。他们认为阅读能开阔眼界。根据首字母s和“shows most people like reading”这一信息,能体现“显示多数人喜好”的名词是survey,符合语境与语法。谓语动词shows为第三人称单数,主语用单数形式即可。
44.In the space station, new technologies can be developed, tested and ________ (操作).
【答案】operated
【详解】句意:在空间站里,新技术可以得到开发、测试以及操作运用。operate“操作”,动词;本句是含情态动词的被动语态“can be+过去分词”,“and”连接三个并列的过去分词;operate的过去分词是operated。
45.We must ________ (维持) a good habit of exercise.
【答案】maintain
【详解】句意:我们必须维持良好的运动习惯。must是情态动词,后接动词原形;结合中文提示可知,maintain意为“维持”,符合语境。
六、选词填空。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读短文,从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空,使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词,每词仅用一次。
call, go, they, billion, large, discover, alone, reach, spacecraft, possible
Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years.However, we haven't found life on any other planet yet.
The earth is a planet and it 46 around the sun.Seven other planets also go around the sun.None of 47 has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them.The sun and its planets are 48 the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much 49 group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way.There are 50 of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.
Scientists have also 51 many other galaxies in the universe.They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to 52 us.So how large is the universe? It is 53 to imagine.
Scientists have sent 54 to the planet Mars to take photos.However, no spacecraft has travelled far enough to get to other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we 55 , or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? We do not know the answers yet.
【答案】
46.goes 47.them 48.called 49.larger 50.billions 51.discovered 52.reach 53.impossible 54.spacecraft 55.alone
【导语】这是一篇说明文,说明了地球是最适合人类居住的星球,以及宇宙中还有很多未被探索的奥秘。
【详解】46.句意:地球是一颗行星,它绕着太阳转。地球围着太阳转是陈述客观事实,应该用一般现在时,主语“it”是第三人称单数,故go变为 goes。
47.句意:它们中没有一个拥有像地球那样的环境。“None of”表示一个都没有,空格指代的是“Seven other planets”应该用“它们”,介词“of”后接宾格代词,they的宾格是them。
48.句意:太阳及其行星被称为太阳系。根据“The sun and its planets”可以被称为“the solar system”,而且此处是被动语态,应该填过去分词called。
49.句意:太阳系只是一个更大星系的一小部分。“much”修饰比较级,且此处需要一个形容词的比较级,表示大得多,所以把large变为larger。
50.句意:银河系中有数十亿颗恒星。根据常识,银河系里有数十亿颗星球,所以这里是固定短语billions of,应该填复数形式billions。
51.句意:科学家也发现了许多其他星系。根据“many other galaxies”可知科学家们发现了其他的星系,本句是现在完成时,“have”后接过去分词,所以discover变为 discovered。
52.句意:它们的光必须传播许多年才能到达我们这里。根据“far away”以及“their light has to travel for many years”可知,这里应该是到达,“to”后接动词原形构成不定式,故填reach。
53.句意:它是难以想象的。根据语境可知,几乎整篇文章都是说宇宙太大,所以应该是不可能想象,possible变为反义词impossible。
54.句意:科学家已发送宇宙飞船去火星拍照。根据“to take photos”这里是说用宇宙飞船去拍照,此处表示复数概念,spacecraft单复数同形,形式不变。
55.句意:我们是孤独的吗?根据后半句“or is there life out there in space”,可知此处问人类在宇宙中是否是独自的生物,故填 alone。
七、短文填空。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered 56 they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were from gods or other 57 (mystery) worlds. However, as technology and science advanced, we learnt stars are real—like our sun—but farther away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit them?
The farthest man-made object is Voyager 1, 58 (launch) in 1977. It carries a record with Earth’s sounds and 59 (image)—in case it is found by alien life. Now over 25 billion km from Earth, it’s still far 60 Proxima Centauri—4.2 light years away (about 40 trillion km).
Time is a major problem: a Mars trip 61 (take) 6—9 months. Food, health, safety—and much 62 (long) journeys—become huge challenges. A star voyage might take 63 (hundred) of thousands of years.
Yet scientists don’t call it impossible. Ideas include astronaut hibernation or faster spacecraft. With global 64 (cooperate), necessary technology may one day 65 (develop). Humans have walked on the moon, landed rovers on Mars, and photographed other galaxies—so reaching the stars, once a dream, may one day become real.
【答案】
56.what 57.mysterious 58.launched 59.images 60.from 61.takes 62.longer 63.hundreds 64.cooperation 65.be developed
【导语】本文探讨了人类探索星空的愿望及面临的挑战,从古代对星星的想象到现代科技的发展,展望了星际旅行的可能性。
【详解】56.句意:自人类历史之初,人们就仰望星空,想知道它们是什么样的。“what...be like”为固定结构,意为“……是什么样的”,故填what。
57.句意:许多古代文化认为这些光点来自神灵或其他神秘世界。修饰名词worlds需用形容词,mystery的形容词形式为mysterious,意为“神秘的”,故填mysterious。
58.句意:最远的人造物体是旅行者1号,于1977年发射。名词Voyager 1与launch之间为被动关系(被发射),需用过去分词作后置定语,故填launched。
59.句意:它携带了一张记录地球声音和图像的唱片——以防被外星生命发现。image为可数名词,与sounds并列,用复数形式表示泛指,故填images。
60.句意:如今它距离地球超过250亿公里,但仍然离比邻星很远——比邻星距离地球4.2光年(约40万亿公里)。“far from”为固定短语,意为“远离”,故填from。
61.句意:火星之旅需要6到9个月。描述客观事实用一般现在时,主语A Mars trip为第三人称单数,take的三单形式为takes,故填takes。
62.句意:食物、健康、安全——以及更长的旅程——成为巨大的挑战。结合语境“更长的旅程”,且much修饰比较级,需用long的比较级longer,故填longer。
63.句意:星际航行可能需要数十万年。“hundreds of”为固定短语,意为“数百的、成百上千的”,故填hundreds。
64.句意:通过全球合作,必要的技术也许有一天会被开发出来。形容词global后需接名词,cooperate的名词形式为cooperation,意为“合作”,故填cooperation。
65.句意:通过全球合作,必要的技术也许有一天会被开发出来。主语technology与develop之间为被动关系,情态动词may后接be done,develop的过去分词为developed,故填be developed。
八、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “We don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life is somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon communicate with them.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life is on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 13.8 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” said Shostak and Barnett. The other one is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 200 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Has intelligent life from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. In the near future, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
66.What made Shostak and Barnett believe that there is intelligent life on other planets?
67.Which galaxy is the Earth in?
68.Why is it possible to discover smaller planets in the universe now?
69.How may intelligent life contact us?
70.What do you think of intelligent life on other planets?
【答案】66.Time and size. 67.The Milky Way. 68.Because powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets. 69.By sending radio signals. 70.I think intelligent life on other planets may be friendly.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家Seth Shostak 和Alexandra Barnett 认为宇宙中存在外星智慧生命的观点,解释了其原因,介绍了发现小行星的技术进步,并探讨了未来与外星生命联系的可能性。
【详解】66.根据文章第二段中“The first reason is time.”以及“The other one is size.”可推知科学家相信其他星球有智慧生命的原因是时间和宇宙的大小。
67.根据文章第二段倒数第二句“And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 200 billion stars.”可推知地球所在的星系是银河系。
68.根据文章第三段第二句“But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets”可推知现在能发现更小的行星是因为有了强大的望远镜。
69.根据文章第四段第四句“intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals.”可推知外星智慧生命可能通过发送无线电信号联系我们。
70.此题为开放性试题,答案不唯一。但观点需基于文中事实,结合文章内容和自己对“智慧生命”的看法,合理作答即可。
九、书面表达。(共10分)

四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
A
So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.
Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.
Kuafu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kuafu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kuafu Mission.
Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.
From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.

D.It was the first satellite to communicate with the ground.
33.Why did the writer mention Mozi in the passage?
A.To show Mozi was the greatest scientist in ancient China.
B.To explain how China developed quantum communication.
C.To prove ancient scientists knew more about space than modern ones.
D.To give an example of naming a satellite after an ancient famous person.
34.What can we infer from the passage?
A.All Chinese satellites are named after ancient stories or people.
B.Ancient Chinese stories are more important than modern science.
C.Naming satellites after ancient culture can make them work better.
D.China’s traditional culture plays an important role in modern space technology.

Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years.However, we haven't found life on any other planet yet.
The earth is a planet and it 46 around the sun.Seven other planets also go around the sun.None of 47 has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them.The sun and its planets are 48 the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much 49 group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way.There are 50 of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.
Scientists have also 51 many other galaxies in the universe.They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to 52 us.So how large is the universe? It is 53 to imagine.
Scientists have sent 54 to the planet Mars to take photos.However, no spacecraft has travelled far enough to get to other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we 55 , or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? We do not know the answers yet.
七、短文填空。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered 56 they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were from gods or other 57 (mystery) worlds. However, as technology and science advanced, we learnt stars are real—like our sun—but farther away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit them?
The farthest man-made object is Voyager 1, 58 (launch) in 1977. It carries a record with Earth’s sounds and 59 (image)—in case it is found by alien life. Now over 25 billion km from Earth, it’s still far 60 Proxima Centauri—4.2 light years away (about 40 trillion km).
Time is a major problem: a Mars trip 61 (take) 6—9 months. Food, health, safety—and much 62 (long) journeys—become huge challenges. A star voyage might take 63 (hundred) of thousands of years.
Yet scientists don’t call it impossible. Ideas include astronaut hibernation or faster spacecraft. With global 64 (cooperate), necessary technology may one day 65 (develop). Humans have walked on the moon, landed rovers on Mars, and photographed other galaxies—so reaching the stars, once a dream, may one day become real.
八、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “We don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life is somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon communicate with them.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life is on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 13.8 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” said Shostak and Barnett. The other one is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 200 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Has intelligent life from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent life may contact us in other ways, such as sending radio signals. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. In the near future, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
66.What made Shostak and Barnett believe that there is intelligent life on other planets?
67.Which galaxy is the Earth in?
68.Why is it possible to discover smaller planets in the universe now?
69.How may intelligent life contact us?
70.What do you think of intelligent life on other planets?
