The earth was too hot, and people could hardly live. A hero named Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns with his bow and arrows. 很久很久以前，天上有十个太阳。大地酷热，人们难以生存。一位名叫后羿的英雄用弓箭射下了九个太阳。 Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind lady named Chang'e. As a reward, the Queen Mother of the West gave him a bottle of magic medicine. The medicine could make a person fly up to heaven and live forever. 后羿娶了一位美丽善良的女子嫦娥为妻。西王母赐给他一瓶仙药作为奖赏，人服下此药便可飞天成仙、长生不老。 Hou Yi did not want to leave his wife, so he asked Chang'e to keep the medicine. But his student Feng Meng was a bad man. One day, when Hou Yi was out, Feng Meng broke in and tried to take the medicine away. 后羿不愿离开妻子，便把仙药交给嫦娥保管。但后羿的徒弟逢蒙是个坏人。一天，趁后羿外出，逢蒙闯入家中，企图抢走仙药。 To keep the medicine away from the bad man, Chang'e drank it all. At once, her body became light, and she flew out of the window to the moon. 为了不让仙药落入坏人之手，嫦娥将药一饮而尽。顷刻间，她的身子变轻了，飞出窗外，直奔月宫而去。 Hou Yi was heartbroken. Every night, he put her favorite fruits and cakes in the garden and looked at the moon to miss her. 后羿悲痛欲绝。此后每夜，他都在园中摆上嫦娥最爱吃的水果和糕点，遥望明月寄托思念。 Today, the moon is still a symbol of love and missing in China. China even named its moon project "Chang'e" after the goddess. 如今，月亮在中国依然是爱与思念的象征。中国甚至以这位仙子的名字“嫦娥”命名了探月工程。 【长难句分析】 1．The medicine could make a person fly up to heaven and live forever. 翻译：人服下此药便可飞天成仙、长生不老。 分析：make sb. do sth. 意为“使某人做某事”，make 后接省略 to 的不定式作宾语补足语；fly 与 live 为并列成分。 2．One day, when Hou Yi was out, Feng Meng broke in and tried to take the medicine away. 翻译：一天，趁后羿外出，逢蒙闯入家中，企图抢走仙药。 分析：when 引导时间状语从句；主句中 broke in 与 tried 为并列谓语；try to do sth. 意为“企图做某事”。 3．To keep the medicine away from the bad man, Chang'e drank it all. 翻译：为了不让仙药落入坏人之手，嫦娥将药一饮而尽。 分析：动词不定式 to keep…作目的状语；keep…away from…意为“使……远离……”。 【重难词汇梳理】 shoot /ʃuːt/ v. 射中（shot） bow /bəʊ/ n. 弓 arrow /ˈærəʊ/ n. 箭 reward /rɪˈwɔːd/ n. 奖赏 magic /ˈmædʒɪk/ adj. 有魔力的 live forever 长生不老 break in 闯入 heartbroken /ˈhɑːtˌbrəʊkən/ adj. 心碎的 symbol /ˈsɪmbl/ n. 象征 rocket /ˈrɒkɪt/ n. 火箭 goddess /ˈɡɒdes/ n. 女神 name…after… 以……命名 Passage2 The Astronomer 天文学家（伊索寓言） Long ago, there was an astronomer. He knew a lot about the universe. Every evening, he went out for a walk and watched the stars carefully. 从前，有一位天文学家。他通晓宇宙知识。每天傍晚，他都出门散步，仔细观察星星。 He loved the sky so much that he always walked with his eyes on the stars. He believed the stars were the most beautiful things in the world. 他太爱天空了，走路时眼睛总是盯着星星。他相信星星是世上最美的东西。 One evening, as he was walking and watching the sky, he did not see a deep well by the road. He fell into it! 一天傍晚，他边走边看天，没注意到路边有一口深井，一失足掉了进去！ The well was deep, and the water inside was cold. He could not climb out, so he shouted for help. 井很深，井水冰凉。他爬不出来，只好大声呼救。 A man passing by heard the shouts and helped him out. The man said, "My friend, why do you study the stars so hard but forget what is under your feet?" 一位过路人听到呼救，把他拉了上来，说：“朋友，你为什么只顾埋头研究星星，却忘了脚下的东西呢？” The story tells us: while we look up at the sky, we should also watch where we are going. 这个故事告诉我们：仰望星空的同时，也要看好脚下的路。 【长难句分析】 1．He loved the sky so much that he always walked with his eyes on the stars. 翻译：他太爱天空了，走路时眼睛总是盯着星星。 分析：“so…that…”引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……”；with one's eyes on…意为“眼睛盯着……”。 2．One evening, as he was walking and watching the sky, he did not see a deep well by the road. 翻译：一天傍晚，他边走边看天，没注意到路边有一口深井。 分析：as 引导时间状语从句，从句用过去进行时表示动作正在持续；by the road 意为“在路边”。 3．My friend, why do you study the stars so hard but forget what is under your feet? 翻译：朋友，你为什么只顾埋头研究星星，却忘了脚下的东西呢？ 分析：but 连接 study 与 forget 两个并列谓语，表转折；forget 后接 what 引导的宾语从句。 【重难词汇梳理】 astronomer /əˈstrɒnəmə(r)/ n. 天文学家 universe /ˈjuːnɪvɜːs/ n. 宇宙 carefully /ˈkeəfəli/ adv. 仔细地 all the time 一直 well /wel/ n. 井 fall into 跌入（fell） climb /klaɪm/ v. 攀爬 shout /ʃaʊt/ v. & n. 呼喊 pass by 经过 look up 仰望；查阅 under one's feet 在某人脚下 forget /fəˈɡet/ v. 忘记（forgot） Passage 1（阅读理解） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 China's Space Dreams Come True These years, China has done many amazing things in space.

Chinese scientists made it! China also sent Tianwen-1 to Mars, and the Zhurong rover landed on the red planet. It drove on Mars and sent back many photos. "Exploring space makes our country stronger," says Liu Yang, a middle school student. "I want to be an astronaut one day." Behind these great achievements are thousands of scientists.
