When we look at the huge cost of space exploration — billions of dollars for a single mission — it is natural to ask: why spend so much money on space when there are so many problems on Earth? The first reason is that space exploration has already brought us countless benefits. Many technologies we use today were originally developed for space. For example, satellite technology has improved communication and weather forecasting. GPS helps us navigate anywhere on Earth. Even the cameras in our phones use technology first developed for space. These inventions have improved the quality of our daily lives. Second, space exploration helps us understand our planet better. By studying other planets, we can learn more about Earth's past and future. For instance, studying Venus shows us what happens when the greenhouse effect gets out of control. This knowledge helps us protect our own environment. Third, space exploration inspires people. The moon landing in 1969 inspired a whole generation of scientists and engineers. When young people see astronauts walk in space or rovers on Mars, they dream of becoming scientists. These dreams drive innovation and progress. Finally, exploring space is part of human nature. Humans have always been explorers — crossing oceans, climbing mountains, and now, traveling into space. Our curiosity pushes us to go beyond our limits. So while the cost is high, the benefits — both practical and inspirational — make space exploration worth every dollar. 36. What is the main question the passage tries to answer? A. How to build a space station. B. Why we should explore space. C. When humans will reach Mars. D. Who was the first astronaut. 37. According to the passage, GPS is a technology that came from ______. A. weather research B. military development C. space exploration D. phone manufacturing 38. How does studying Venus help us according to the passage? A. It shows us how to grow food in space. B. It helps us understand the greenhouse effect. C. It teaches us how to build better rockets. D. It proves that humans can live on other planets. 39. What effect did the moon landing have on young people? A. It made them afraid of space. B. It made them want to leave Earth. C. It inspired them to become scientists. D. It taught them about GPS technology. 40. What is the writer's overall opinion about space exploration? A. It is too expensive and should be stopped. B. It is worth the cost because of its many benefits. C. It is only useful for communication. D. It is a waste of money that should go to Earth problems. B Life in Space: What Do Astronauts Do? Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in space? For astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), life is very different from life on Earth. The most obvious difference is microgravity — the feeling of weightlessness. In microgravity, astronauts float around the station. They have to attach themselves to the floor with straps to sleep, and they eat food from special bags so it doesn't float away. Even simple things like brushing teeth require special care. Astronauts on the ISS work long hours. Their main job is to perform scientific experiments. They study how plants grow in space, how the human body reacts to microgravity, and how materials behave in space conditions. These experiments help us understand more about space and also lead to new technologies for Earth. Staying healthy is also very important. Without gravity, muscles become weaker and bones lose density. Astronauts must exercise for about two hours every day using special equipment. This exercise prevents their bodies from becoming too weak during long missions. Communication with Earth is a big part of astronaut life. They regularly report their findings to mission control and sometimes hold video conferences with schools to inspire young students. However, communication is not always easy — there can be a delay of several seconds because of the distance. Despite all the challenges, astronauts say that living in space is an amazing experience. The most unforgettable moment is looking down at Earth from far away. They see the beautiful blue planet with no borders — it reminds us that we all share one home. 41. Why do astronauts have to strap themselves when sleeping? A. To keep warm. B. To avoid floating away. C. To save space. D. To get better sleep. 42. What is the main job of astronauts on the ISS? A. Building the space station. B. Performing scientific experiments. C. Fixing broken satellites. D. Preparing food for the crew. 43. Why do astronauts need to exercise for two hours every day? A. To build muscle for walking on the moon. B. To prevent their bodies from becoming too weak. C. To practice for space walks. D. To use up their extra energy. 44. What problem can there be with communication in space? A. The signal is too weak. B. Astronauts do not have phones. C. There is a delay due to distance. D. They are not allowed to talk to Earth. 45. What do astronauts find most unforgettable about living in space? A. Floating in microgravity. B. Eating food from bags. C. Looking down at Earth from far away. D. Exercising with special equipment. 第四部分 七选五（共10分，每小题2分） 根据短文内容，从短文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选项。 How to Become an Astronaut Becoming an astronaut is a dream for many children. 46._______ Here is what you need to know if you dream of traveling to space. First, study hard in school. Astronauts need strong skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — often called STEM subjects. 47._______ Second, stay physically fit. Astronauts must pass strict physical examinations. They need to be in excellent health and be able to handle the physical pressures of space travel. 48._______ Third, learn to work as a team. Space missions are extremely complex and require the cooperation of many people. Astronauts must be able to communicate well and solve problems together. 49._______ Fourth, get flying experience. Many astronauts are former pilots. Flying experience helps develop the skills needed to handle difficult situations in space. 50._______ Finally, never give up on your dream. It takes years of training and hard work to become an astronaut. Only a few people are selected every year, but those who keep trying can make it. A. Sports and exercise are important from a young age. B. But only a very small number of people actually achieve it. C. You don't need to learn math or science. D. Some of the best astronauts started as airplane pilots. E. Being good at these subjects is the first step. F. Astronauts often come from different countries. G. Teamwork skills can be developed through group activities and sports. 第五部分 语法填空（共10分，每小题1分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Space is often called the "final frontier."

Imagine booking a ticket for a weekend trip to space. For most people, this sounds like science fiction. But in the coming years, space tourism may become a reality. In 2001, American businessman Dennis Tito became the first space tourist. He paid about 20 million dollars to spend eight days on the International Space Station. Since then, only a few other wealthy people have taken similar trips. However, companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are now working to make space travel more affordable. What would a space trip look like for an ordinary tourist? Most space tourism companies are offering suborbital flights（亚轨道飞行）. These flights take passengers about 100 kilometers above Earth — the boundary of space. Passengers would experience about three to four minutes of weightlessness and see the curvature（弧度） of the Earth. The whole trip lasts only about 10 to 15 minutes. Some companies are also planning orbital flights（轨道飞行） that would allow tourists to stay in space for several days, experiencing multiple sunrises and sunsets every day. The cost, however, is still extremely high — around 50 million dollars or more. Despite the high cost, more than 600 people have already booked tickets for future space flights. Some say they want to experience the beauty of Earth from above. Others see it as the beginning of a new era of human exploration. But space tourism also raises questions. Is it environmentally friendly? Rockets release large amounts of greenhouse gases. Should space be reserved for scientific research? These are questions that need to be discussed as space travel becomes more common. 61. Who was the first space tourist and when did he travel? 62. What do most space tourism companies currently offer? 63. How long does a typical suborbital flight last? 64. How many people have booked tickets for future space flights? 65. What environmental concern about space tourism is mentioned in the passage? 第七部分 书面表达（共15分） 题目：人类一直在探索太空。请你写一篇英文短文，谈谈你对太空探索的看法。 要求： 1. 简述太空探索已经取得的成就（至少一个例子）； 2. 谈谈太空探索对人类的益处（至少两点）； 3. 在你的短文中，至少使用三个被动语态句子； 4. 词数80左右，语言正确，结构清晰。 解析版答案 第一部分 单词、短语与句子 A）单项选择 答案 1.
