It is not because there is no gravity in space. In fact, gravity is almost everywhere. Astronauts float because they are in a constant state of free fall around the Earth. This is called microgravity. Living in microgravity is fun but challenging. Simple things become difficult. For example, astronauts cannot take a shower like we do on Earth. Water forms floating bubbles, so they use special rinseless shampoo and wet towels to clean themselves. Eating is also tricky. Food crumbs（碎屑）could float away and damage the spaceship's equipment. That is why astronauts often eat food that sticks together, like tortillas（玉米饼）, instead of bread. Sleeping is different, too. Without the pull of gravity, astronauts do not feel "up" or "down". They sleep in small sleeping bags tied to the wall. This stops them from floating around and bumping into things while they sleep. Although it sounds uncomfortable, most astronauts say they sleep very well in space because there is no pressure on their backs. Despite the challenges, living in space is an amazing experience. It allows scientists to study how the human body reacts to long-term space travel, which is essential for future missions to Mars. ( ) 26. Why do astronauts float in the ISS? A. Because there is no gravity in space. B. Because they are falling freely around the Earth. C. Because they are trained to do so. D. Because the spaceship is too light. ( ) 27. What does the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Easy and relaxing. B. Difficult and needing skill. C. Boring and tiring. D. Clean and safe. ( ) 28. Why do astronauts prefer tortillas to bread? A. Because tortillas are cheaper. B. Because tortillas are more delicious. C. Because tortillas produce no crumbs. D. Because tortillas are lighter. ( ) 29. How do astronauts sleep in the space station? A. They sleep on beds like on Earth. B. They float freely in the room. C. They sleep in bags tied to the wall. D. They sleep upside down. ( ) 30. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To describe the beauty of the Earth from space. B. To explain the challenges of living in microgravity. C. To compare different types of spaceships. D. To introduce the history of the ISS. B Many people know the name "Star Trek", a famous sci-fi show. In the show, characters use a device called a "communicator" to talk to each other over long distances. They also have "tablets" to read books and watch videos. At the time, these were just ideas from writers' imaginations. Today, they are real. Our modern smartphones and iPads are very similar to these fictional devices. Science fiction often inspires real scientists. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian scientist, wrote about rockets and space travel long before they existed. His writings inspired the first rocket builders. Similarly, many engineers today read sci-fi novels to get ideas for new technologies. However, moving from fiction to reality is not easy. In "Star Trek", the "transporter" can send people instantly from one place to another. In reality, scientists are still far from achieving this. We have teleportation（瞬移）for tiny particles（粒子）, but teleporting a human being is currently impossible due to the complexity of the human body. Still, the line between science fiction and science fact is getting thinner. What seems impossible today might become tomorrow's technology. As Arthur C. Clarke, a famous sci-fi writer, once said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." ( ) 31. What is "Star Trek" according to the text? A. A science textbook. B. A news report. C. A sci-fi show. D. A history movie. ( ) 32. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. Science fiction can give scientists new ideas. B. Scientists dislike reading novels. C. Rockets were invented by writers. D. Sci-fi shows are always true. ( ) 33. Why is the "transporter" mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To show that it is widely used today. B. To explain that it is easy to build. C. To prove that fiction is not always reality. D. To describe how it works. ( ) 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Magic will replace technology. B. Impossible ideas today may come true in the future. C. Technology will never catch up with fiction. D. Sci-fi writers are better than scientists. ( ) 35. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A science magazine. C. A cookbook. D. A sports newspaper. C Building a home on the Moon has been a dream for scientists for decades. Now, thanks to new technology, this dream is closer to reality. One of the biggest challenges is building materials. It is too expensive to carry bricks and cement（水泥）from Earth. So, scientists are looking for ways to use lunar soil, also known as regolith, to build houses. Researchers at a European university have developed a method called "lunar 3D printing". They use a special printer that heats the regolith to a very high temperature until it melts. Then, the printer shapes the melted material into bricks. These bricks are surprisingly strong—stronger than those made from concrete on Earth. Another challenge is radiation（辐射）from the sun. The Moon has no atmosphere to protect people. To solve this, scientists plan to build habitats（栖息地）underground or cover them with several meters of regolith. This "lunar dirt" acts as a natural shield（防护罩）. Water is also a problem. While there is ice at the Moon's poles, it is not easy to get. Future lunar bases might use this ice for drinking water, and even split it into hydrogen and oxygen for fuel and air. Although there are many difficulties, the first lunar base could be ready by 2040. It will be a giant leap for mankind. ( ) 36. What is the main material suggested for building houses on the Moon? A. Earth bricks. B. Lunar soil (regolith). C. Wood and cement. D. Plastic and glass. ( ) 37. How does "lunar 3D printing" work? A. It carries bricks from Earth. B. It uses ice to make bricks. C. It melts regolith and shapes it into bricks. D. It grows bricks from plants. ( ) 38. Why do scientists want to build habitats underground? A. To avoid radiation. B. To find more water. C. To escape from aliens. D. To make it warmer. ( ) 39. What can the ice at the Moon's poles be used for? A. Only for drinking. B. Only for making fuel. C. For drinking, fuel and air. D. For building houses. ( ) 40. What is the author's attitude towards the future lunar base? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Uninterested. 第四部分 阅读还原 阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使其意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项。 Mars, often called the "Red Planet", has fascinated humans for centuries. With its similar day length to Earth and evidence of ancient water, it is the most likely place for humans to live outside our planet. 41______ The first step is sending robots. Rovers like "Perseverance" are currently exploring Mars. They are looking for signs of ancient life and testing ways to make oxygen from the Martian atmosphere. 42______ This oxygen could be used for astronauts to breathe and to make fuel for the trip back to Earth. Next, we need to solve the problem of shelter. Mars is very cold and has dangerous radiation. 43______ Scientists suggest using the ice under the Martian ground to make water and using the soil to 3D print houses. Food is another big challenge. Astronauts cannot rely on food from Earth forever. 44______ This way, they can have fresh vegetables without sunlight or Earth soil. Finally, there is the journey itself. It takes about seven months to travel from Earth to Mars. Astronauts will have to stay healthy and mentally strong during this long trip. 45______ If we prepare well, the first human footprint on Mars might appear in the 2030s. A. They must learn to grow food in special indoor farms. B. However, landing humans on Mars is much more difficult than sending robots. C. This will help them stay calm and focused during the long journey. D. One of its jobs is to test a machine that can produce oxygen. E. Therefore, building a base under the surface is a good idea. F. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. 41. ______ 42. ______ 43. ______ 44. ______ 45. ______ 第五部分 短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most important tools in the history of astronomy. It 46_______ (launch) into orbit in 1990. Unlike ground-based telescopes, Hubble orbits above Earth's atmosphere. This allows it 47_______ (take) extremely clear pictures of the universe. Over the past thirty years, Hubble 48_______ (help) scientists make many discoveries. It has observed distant galaxies and provided evidence that the universe is expanding. However, Hubble is not perfect. Its mirror had a flaw（缺陷）when it 49_______ (send) into space. Astronauts had to fix it in a dangerous spacewalk. The new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is Hubble's successor. It is much 50_______ (large) and more powerful. JWST uses infrared（红外线）technology to see through dust clouds. This allows scientists to look at the 51_______ (early) galaxies in the universe. Both telescopes show us the beauty of the cosmos. They remind us that we are just a small part of a vast universe. 52_______ (explore) space is not just about science; it is also about understanding 53_______ (we) place in the universe. With these eyes in the sky, we continue to ask the big questions: Where did we come from? Are we 54_______ (alone)? As technology improves, we will see even 55_______ (far) into the dark. The journey of discovery never ends. 第六部分 补全对话 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。 A: Hi, Sarah. Did you go to the lecture on space exploration yesterday? B: Yes, I did.
