七、阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
In ancient times, there was the legend of “Chang’e flying to the moon”. In the Ming Dynasty, the first solid (固体的) rocket was tested. Chinese people have always dreamed of flying into the sky for thousands of years. Here’s how things have developed.
Flying into space
On 24 April 1970, China’s first man-made satellite was sent up into space. In memory of this success, that day was made Space Day of China. Since then, the country has been on a challenging but hopeful space journey. The Shenzhou Ⅴ spacecraft was launched in 2003. Yang Liwei became China’s first astronaut to go into space.
Exploring the moon
In 2007, Chang’e-1 was launched. It took photos of the moon. Information collected by Chang’e-1 was used to create a 3D map of the moon’s surface. In January 2019, Chang’e-4 lander put its Yutu-2 rover (月球车) on the far side of the moon. In November 2020, China launched the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. It collected samples (样本) from the moon.
Setting up the space lab
In 2011, the first space lab Tiangong-1 was sent into orbit (轨道). And Liu Yang became the first Chinese woman in space in 2012. In 2016, China launched its second space lab, Tiangong-2 into orbit. In June 2021, the Shenzhou Ⅻ spaceship lifted off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre, which was the first time that Chinese people had entered our own space station.
No pains, no gains.These achievements were hard-won. Over the years, Chinese scientists have overcome many difficulties and have achieved success. That is also called the China Space Spirit.
1.When is Space Day of China?

八、阅读下面短文,根据其内容,完成表格中所缺的信息。并将答案填写在答题卡相应题号后。
Ever since humans appeared, we have never stopped paying our attention to the stars far above us. Chinese seemed to be especially interested in stars since the ancient times. And they gave wonderful names such as Shen xiu and Nanhe to different stars in the sky. In one of the poems by Su Shi, Sirius — the brightest star in the sky, was mentioned as he wrote “looking northwest and shooting down Sirius”.
In China, the book Zhou Bi, appeared as early as 1 BC. It not only covers certain topics in math, but also talks about the moving ways of the stars in the sky. Also, things like the changes of seasons and geography are included. While in the west, the first similar book is Almagest appearing in around 140 AD.And after them, many other books appeared gradually.
In modern times, from 1961 to 1972, the US Apollo program landed astronauts on the moon. Since 1998, the International Space Station, built by many countries, has been helping scientists study space for a long time.
In China, the Shenzhou spacecrafts (飞船) let Chinese astronauts go to space, making the long-held dream of the Chinese people come true in 2003. Starting from 2007, The Chang’ e project is another big step. Its aim was to study the moon. In 2020, the Tianwen-1 shows China's advanced space technology.
Also, modern writers and directors have shown an interest in stars. In China, the movies The Wandering Earth I & II have won great popularity, encouraging us to care for the earth and look up at the stars. The book The Three-Body Problem is also liked around the world. In the west, movies like 2001: Space Odyssey and Interstellar also interest many star lovers.
Stars are useful to animals, too. For example, some insects and birds can find their way by watching the moving ways of some bright stars in the sky. Interestingly, dung beetles (屎壳郎) can move straight in the direction of the Milky Way!

【答案】1.Abroad 2.movements 3.realize/achieve 4.works 5.lead/guide
【导语】本文介绍了人类从古至今对星星的关注和研究,包括古代中国和西方对星星的命名和研究书籍,现代人类在太空探索方面的成就,以及现代文艺作品中对星星的描绘,最后还提到星星对动物的导航作用。
1.根据“...Since 1998, the International Space Station, built by many countries, has been helping scientists study space for a long time.”以及“Stars: Ancient to Modern, Home and”可知,文章提到的国际空间站、西方电影等内容可知,这里需要填写与“Home”相对应的词。根据文章内容涉及中国和西方的对比,此处应填abroad“国外”,故填Abroad。
2.根据“It not only covers certain topics in math, but also talks about the moving ways of the stars in the sky.”可知,《周弼》中不仅涵盖了某些数学主题,而且还讨论了天空中星星的运动方式,此处指的是“星星的运动方式”,此处应用复数名词movements“运动”,表示泛指,故填movements。
3.根据“In China, the Shenzhou spacecrafts (飞船) let Chinese astronauts go to space, making the long-held dream of the Chinese people come true in 2003.”可知,神舟飞船实现了中国人的太空梦,此处指的是realize/achieve“实现”,是动词,此处是短语help sb do sth的结构,故动词用原形,故填realize/achieve。
4.根据“modern writers and directors have shown an interest in stars.”以及列举的电影和书籍可知,现代作品对星星表现出了兴趣,故填works。
5.根据“some insects and birds can find their way by watching the moving ways of some bright stars in the sky.”可知,明亮的星星可以帮助动物找到正确的方向,情态动词后接动词原形guide/lead“带领,引导”,故填lead/guide。

Starting from 2007, The Chang’ e project is another big step. Its aim was to study the moon. In 2020, the Tianwen-1 shows China's advanced space technology.
Also, modern writers and directors have shown an interest in stars. In China, the movies The Wandering Earth I & II have won great popularity, encouraging us to care for the earth and look up at the stars. The book The Three-Body Problem is also liked around the world. In the west, movies like 2001: Space Odyssey and Interstellar also interest many star lovers.
Stars are useful to animals, too. For example, some insects and birds can find their way by watching the moving ways of some bright stars in the sky. Interestingly, dung beetles (屎壳郎) can move straight in the direction of the Milky Way!
