答案与解析
1. human(实词,形容词作定语)
句意:自人类历史之初,人们仰望星空,想知道星星是什么样子。
解析:括号给出名词human,此处修饰名词history,用形容词含义作定语,human history 人类历史,形式不变。
2. that(虚词,定语从句关系代词)
句意:旅行者1号是从地球飞得最远的人造航天器。
解析:先行词是spacecraft(物),定语从句缺少主语;先行词为物,用关系代词that。
3. was launched(实词:动词,一般过去时被动语态)
句意:它于1977年被发射升空。
解析:主语It指代Voyager 1,航天器是“被发射”,主语和动词launch是被动关系;时间标志in 1977是过去时间。
一般过去时被动结构:was/were + 过去分词;it单数,be动词用was,launch过去分词launched。
4. In(虚词,固定短语连词)
句意:万一外星生命发现了它,一张存有地球声音和图像的特殊唱片搭载在航天器上。
解析:固定短语 in case 意为“以防;万一”,引导条件状语从句;放在句首,首字母必须大写 →In case。
5. is carried(实词:动词,一般现在时被动语态)
句意:……一张存有地球声音和图像的特殊唱片被搭载在航天器上。
解析:主语a special record唱片,唱片是“被搭载”,和carry被动关系;本句讲述客观事实,用一般现在时被动。
一般现在时被动:am/is/are +过去分词;record单数,be动词用is,carry过去分词carried。
6. farther / further(实词:形容词比较级)
句意:它距离地球有235亿千米,但最近的恒星比邻星还要遥远得多。
解析:much 后面必须接形容词/副词比较级,much用来加强程度,意为“……得多”。
far的比较级:farther侧重距离更远;further可表抽象“更进一步”,本句讲太空距离,两者都可以。
7. challenges(实词:名词复数)
句意:对于载人航天飞行来说,时间是最大的挑战之一。
解析:固定句型 one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数,表示“最……之一”。
所以名词challenge要变为复数challenges。
8. to reach(实词:非谓语动词,不定式)
句意:抵达另一颗恒星可能需要数十万年。
解析:核心固定句型:It takes + 时间 + to do sth. 做某事花费多长时间。
it是形式主语,真正主语是后面动词不定式,所以填to reach。
9. sleep(实词:非谓语,使役动词用法)
句意:一个设想是让宇航员在航行途中休眠。
解析:使役动词have的固定搭配:have sb. do sth. 让某人做某事,后面接动词原形。因此直接填sleep。
10. cooperating(实词:非谓语,with复合结构)
句意:有各个国家和科学家互相合作,我们对未来太空旅行抱有希望。
解析:with + 宾语(nations and scientists) + doing,with的独立主格结构。
宾语“国家、科学家”和动作cooperate是主动关系,用现在分词cooperating,表主动、伴随状态。
四、阅读理解
阅读短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
For thousands of years, humans have dreamed of travelling far into space. Unmanned spacecraft have already visited many far‑away places, but sending human beings into deep space is much harder. Many people wonder: what difficulties must astronauts face during long‑distance space travel?
First of all, the environment in space is terrible. There is no air to breathe. Besides, strong space radiation is dangerous for human bodies. On Earth, our planet’s atmosphere can protect us from most radiation. But in deep space, astronauts are directly exposed to it. Special spacesuits and spaceships can reduce the harm, yet they cannot solve the problem completely.
Secondly, weightlessness brings plenty of health troubles. If people stay weightless for months or years, their bones will become weaker and muscles will shrink. Scientists have found that good exercise plans can slow down such bad changes, but there is no perfect way to stop them.
Food supply is another big problem. It is impossible to carry enough food for a multi‑year journey. Resupply from Earth also cannot work, because the trip between Earth and deep space takes too long. Some scientists suggest growing fresh vegetables inside the spacecraft. However, building such a farm in space is still a big technical challenge.
Though we meet so many difficulties, space scientists never give up. New technology is being researched all over the world. Many countries choose to cooperate instead of working alone. Maybe human beings will take their first real trip to other star systems centuries later.
1. What has already finished according to Paragraph 1?
A. Humans have travelled to other star systems.
B. Unmanned spacecraft have visited distant space places.
C. People have solved all problems for deep‑space travel.
D. Astronauts have lived many years in deep space.
2. What protects people on Earth from most space radiation?
A. Special spacesuits
B. Modern spacecraft
C. Earth’s atmosphere
D. Medical medicine
3. What does the underlined word “shrink” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. 萎缩;变小
B. 强壮
C. 疼痛
D. 生长
4. Which of the following is the main problem of food supply for long‑distance space travel?
A. Astronauts hate space‑grown vegetables.
B. We cannot carry enough food and resupply is hard.
C. Vegetables cannot get sunlight inside spacecraft.
D. Food from Earth tastes terrible in space.
5. What can we know about weightlessness from the text?
A. Weightlessness makes astronauts’ bones stronger.
B. Exercise can totally stop muscle shrinkage.
C. Weightlessness causes many health problems.
D. People can stay weightless for years without harm.

解析:第三段weightlessness brings plenty of health troubles失重会带来大量健康问题;A/B/D和原文表述相反。
阅读短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Why should humans spend so much time and money exploring space? Some people argue that we have many serious problems on Earth, so space research is a waste of money. However, space exploration brings us huge value in many different ways.
First of all, space‑developed technology improves our everyday life. Some small things we use every day were invented for space projects. Memory foam, special water‑purification tools and even some kinds of weather forecast technology all come from space research. These inventions make our life safer and more convenient.
Besides, space science helps us know more about our own home‑planet Earth. Satellites high above our heads watch our environment. They record changes of ice caps, forest loss and sea‑level rise. With satellite data, scientists can learn more about climate change and warn people of natural disasters ahead of time.
What’s more, space opens new chances for resources. Some minerals exist on the moon or small planets. In the far future, humans might collect these resources for use on Earth. It is also possible that one day humans will build new homes beyond Earth. This could offer a new choice for mankind if our home planet becomes too hard to live on.
Above all, exploration is part of human spirits. Throughout history, humans never stop looking for the unknown. We want to answer big questions: Are we alone in the universe? How did the universe begin? Space exploration gives us chances to look for answers. It encourages new generations of young people to love science and keep dreaming.
Space exploration will not solve all our earth‑side problems at once. But it brings technology, knowledge, new chances and spiritual power for human beings.
6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the value of space exploration?
A. It improves daily‑life technology.
B. It helps study Earth’s environment.
C. It offers possible new resources.
D. It can end world hunger right away.
7. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. Exploring unknown things fits human spirits.
B. We have already found alien life in space.
C. Young people should only study space science.
D. Space exploration can solve all universe puzzles.
8. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To tell readers how to become space scientists.
B. To explain why human beings carry out space exploration.
C. To describe how satellites are produced.
D. To show different kinds of planets in the solar system.
9. How is the text organized?
A. Opinion‑reasons‑summary
B. Story‑examples‑conversations
C. Problem‑only solutions
D. Time order of space events
10. Which sentence best expresses the central idea of the passage?
A. Space exploration brings technology, knowledge, chances and spiritual power for humans.
B. We should stop space research and solve earth problems first.
C. Humans have already built homes on other planets.
D. Satellites can solve every climate problem.
答案与解析
6. D【细节排除题】

7. A【推理判断】
解析:第五段exploration is part of human spirits. Throughout history, humans never stop looking for the unknown探索未知是人类精神的一部分。B尚未找到外星生命;C表述过于绝对。
8. B【写作目的】
解析:全文解释人类为什么要开展太空探索。
9. A【篇章结构题】
解析:文章先摆出反面观点,之后分点列出多条理由,最后总结。
10. A【主旨句意理解】

任务型阅读
Tiangong, China’s space station, has drawn worldwide attention since it was completed in 2022. It serves as a long‑term space laboratory circling our planet. Astronauts can live there, carry out all kinds of scientific experiments and do tests for future space travel.
Tiangong is made up of several modules. The Tianhe core module works as the main control centre and living space for astronauts. Wentian and Mengtian lab modules are used for different research tasks. Besides, the Xuntian space telescope can work together with Tiangong. It will help scientists watch distant galaxies in deep space.
Building Tiangong was full of challenges. Chinese scientists and engineers had to solve many hard problems. For example, they needed to put different parts together in space and get used to huge temperature changes. Lots of hard work and international cooperation made the great project come true. Now research projects from many foreign countries are accepted on Tiangong.
China keeps making new space plans. It is hoped that moon bases will be built in the near future. Scientists from different countries will cooperate and do more research there. Exploring and discovering unknown places is part of human nature. We will keep moving forward into space.

For thousands of years, humans have dreamed of travelling far into space. Unmanned spacecraft have already visited many far‑away places, but sending human beings into deep space is much harder. Many people wonder: what difficulties must astronauts face during long‑distance space travel?
First of all, the environment in space is terrible. There is no air to breathe. Besides, strong space radiation is dangerous for human bodies. On Earth, our planet’s atmosphere can protect us from most radiation. But in deep space, astronauts are directly exposed to it. Special spacesuits and spaceships can reduce the harm, yet they cannot solve the problem completely.
Secondly, weightlessness brings plenty of health troubles. If people stay weightless for months or years, their bones will become weaker and muscles will shrink. Scientists have found that good exercise plans can slow down such bad changes, but there is no perfect way to stop them.
Food supply is another big problem. It is impossible to carry enough food for a multi‑year journey. Resupply from Earth also cannot work, because the trip between Earth and deep space takes too long. Some scientists suggest growing fresh vegetables inside the spacecraft. However, building such a farm in space is still a big technical challenge.
Though we meet so many difficulties, space scientists never give up. New technology is being researched all over the world. Many countries choose to cooperate instead of working alone. Maybe human beings will take their first real trip to other star systems centuries later.
1. What has already finished according to Paragraph 1?
A. Humans have travelled to other star systems.
B. Unmanned spacecraft have visited distant space places.
C. People have solved all problems for deep‑space travel.
D. Astronauts have lived many years in deep space.
2. What protects people on Earth from most space radiation?
A. Special spacesuits
B. Modern spacecraft
C. Earth’s atmosphere
D. Medical medicine
3. What does the underlined word “shrink” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. 萎缩;变小
B. 强壮
C. 疼痛
D. 生长
4. Which of the following is the main problem of food supply for long‑distance space travel?
A. Astronauts hate space‑grown vegetables.
B. We cannot carry enough food and resupply is hard.
C. Vegetables cannot get sunlight inside spacecraft.
D. Food from Earth tastes terrible in space.
5. What can we know about weightlessness from the text?
A. Weightlessness makes astronauts’ bones stronger.
B. Exercise can totally stop muscle shrinkage.
C. Weightlessness causes many health problems.
D. People can stay weightless for years without harm.

Why should humans spend so much time and money exploring space? Some people argue that we have many serious problems on Earth, so space research is a waste of money. However, space exploration brings us huge value in many different ways.
First of all, space‑developed technology improves our everyday life. Some small things we use every day were invented for space projects. Memory foam, special water‑purification tools and even some kinds of weather forecast technology all come from space research. These inventions make our life safer and more convenient.
Besides, space science helps us know more about our own home‑planet Earth. Satellites high above our heads watch our environment. They record changes of ice caps, forest loss and sea‑level rise. With satellite data, scientists can learn more about climate change and warn people of natural disasters ahead of time.
What’s more, space opens new chances for resources. Some minerals exist on the moon or small planets. In the far future, humans might collect these resources for use on Earth. It is also possible that one day humans will build new homes beyond Earth. This could offer a new choice for mankind if our home planet becomes too hard to live on.
Above all, exploration is part of human spirits. Throughout history, humans never stop looking for the unknown. We want to answer big questions: Are we alone in the universe? How did the universe begin? Space exploration gives us chances to look for answers. It encourages new generations of young people to love science and keep dreaming.
Space exploration will not solve all our earth‑side problems at once. But it brings technology, knowledge, new chances and spiritual power for human beings.
6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the value of space exploration?
A. It improves daily‑life technology.
B. It helps study Earth’s environment.
C. It offers possible new resources.
D. It can end world hunger right away.
7. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. Exploring unknown things fits human spirits.
B. We have already found alien life in space.
C. Young people should only study space science.
D. Space exploration can solve all universe puzzles.
8. What is the main purpose of this article?
A. To tell readers how to become space scientists.
B. To explain why human beings carry out space exploration.
C. To describe how satellites are produced.
D. To show different kinds of planets in the solar system.
9. How is the text organized?
A. Opinion‑reasons‑summary
B. Story‑examples‑conversations
C. Problem‑only solutions
D. Time order of space events
10. Which sentence best expresses the central idea of the passage?
A. Space exploration brings technology, knowledge, chances and spiritual power for humans.
B. We should stop space research and solve earth problems first.
C. Humans have already built homes on other planets.
D. Satellites can solve every climate problem.
任务型阅读
Tiangong, China’s space station, has drawn worldwide attention since it was completed in 2022. It serves as a long‑term space laboratory circling our planet. Astronauts can live there, carry out all kinds of scientific experiments and do tests for future space travel.
Tiangong is made up of several modules. The Tianhe core module works as the main control centre and living space for astronauts. Wentian and Mengtian lab modules are used for different research tasks. Besides, the Xuntian space telescope can work together with Tiangong. It will help scientists watch distant galaxies in deep space.
Building Tiangong was full of challenges. Chinese scientists and engineers had to solve many hard problems. For example, they needed to put different parts together in space and get used to huge temperature changes. Lots of hard work and international cooperation made the great project come true. Now research projects from many foreign countries are accepted on Tiangong.
China keeps making new space plans. It is hoped that moon bases will be built in the near future. Scientists from different countries will cooperate and do more research there. Exploring and discovering unknown places is part of human nature. We will keep moving forward into space.
