Unit 6 Beyond Earth 精读精练学案2026-2027学年人教版九年级英语上册

九年级英语（人教版）上册 · 精读精练学案 Unit 6 Beyond Earth 本单元主题为“Beyond Earth”（地球之外），属于“人与自然”范畴，涉及“太空探索”“中国航天成就”“航天员太空生活”“探索宇宙的意义”等子主题。单元以“What does it take to explore space?”为核心问题，贯穿四条主线：太空生活体验、航天科技应用、中国航天成就、未来探索愿景。 本单元重点语法为一般将来时的被动语态（will be + 过去分词），用以描述未来将发生的被动动作。 Reaching for the Stars ①For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond. ②Today, that dream is becoming a reality — and China is playing a leading role. ③More Chinese astronauts will be sent to the Tiangong space station, and more scientific experiments will be carried out in the coming years. ④What is it like to live in space? ⑤Astronauts float because there is no gravity. ⑥They have to be tied down to sleep, and their food must be kept in bags so it doesn't float away. ⑦Yet despite the challenges, they all agree — the view of Earth from above is breathtaking. ⑧Why do we explore space? ⑨There are three main reasons. ⑩First, space research helps us better understand our own planet. ⑪Second, technologies developed for space — such as satellite communication and weather monitoring — will be used to improve life on Earth. ⑫Third, as Earth's resources are being used up, new resources may be discovered on other planets. ⑬It is believed that new homes for human beings will be built beyond Earth in the distant future. ⑭China has made remarkable progress in space exploration. ⑮The Tiangong space station was completed in 2022. ⑯The Zhurong rover has explored the surface of Mars. ⑰More exciting missions will be launched in the near future, including the Xuntian space telescope, which will be sent into orbit to observe the faraway universe. ⑱China also cooperates with other countries on space research, showing that space exploration is a shared dream of humankind. ⑲These achievements prove that China's space programme is not just about reaching new heights — it is about creating a better future for all. ⑳I dream that one day, I can look down at Earth from space — and see a world united by the spirit of exploration. ㉑I believe that more young people will be inspired by China's achievements to pursue careers in science. ㉒It is hoped that the mysteries of the universe will be unlocked by the next generation. ㉓Remember — the stars are not as far away as they seem. ㉔Keep dreaming. ㉕Keep exploring. ㉖Who knows what will be discovered tomorrow? 【读后思考】 1. What are the three main reasons for exploring space? 2. What achievements has China made in space exploration? 3. What does the speaker dream of? 【知识点索引】 知识点 序号 类别 More Chinese astronauts will be sent ③ 一般将来时被动语态 more scientific experiments will be carried out ③ 一般将来时被动语态 There are three main reasons ⑨ 过渡句 satellite ⑪ 核心词汇 will be used ⑪ 一般将来时被动语态 may be discovered ⑫ 情态动词+被动语态 new homes for human beings will be built ⑬ 一般将来时被动语态 space exploration ⑭ 核心短语 rover ⑯ 核心词汇 More exciting missions will be launched ⑰ 一般将来时被动语态 telescope ⑰ 核心词汇 will be sent ⑰ 一般将来时被动语态 orbit ⑰ 核心词汇 more young people will be inspired ㉑ 一般将来时被动语态 the mysteries of the universe will be unlocked ㉒ 一般将来时被动语态 generation ㉒ 核心词汇 what will be discovered ㉖ 一般将来时被动语态 【范文逐点解析】 ① For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond. 解析：开篇从人类仰望星空写起，具有历史纵深感和人文厚度。have looked up和have wondered为现在完成时，表示从过去持续到现在的动作。what lies beyond为宾语从句，作wondered的宾语。 例句：For centuries, scientists have studied the stars and wondered how the universe began.（几个世纪以来，科学家们一直在研究恒星，并思考宇宙是如何起源的。） ② Today, that dream is becoming a reality — and China is playing a leading role. 解析：is becoming为现在进行时，表示“正在逐渐成为”。破折号后补充说明中国在其中的重要地位。play a leading role意为“发挥领导作用”，为固定短语。该句为过渡句，从历史视野转向当代现实。 例句：Nowadays, new technologies are becoming a reality in our daily lives.（如今，新技术正在成为我们日常生活中的现实。） ③ More Chinese astronauts will be sent to the Tiangong space station, and more scientific experiments will be carried out in the coming years. 解析：该句包含两处一般将来时被动语态——will be sent和will be carried out。Tiangong space station为专有名词，in the coming years意为“在未来几年”，是将来时的标志性时间状语。carry out意为“执行、实施”。。 例句：More research will be carried out on the space station in the coming years.（未来几年，空间站将开展更多研究。） ④ What is it like to live in space? 解析：What is it like...? 为询问“……是什么样的”的常用句型。该句以问句形式引出太空生活的话题，增强互动性。 例句：What is it like to travel to the moon?（去月球旅行是什么样的体验？） ⑤ Astronauts float because there is no gravity. 解析：float意为“漂浮”，描述失重状态。because there is no gravity为原因状语从句，解释漂浮的原因。gravity意为“重力”。 例句：In space, everything floats because there is almost no gravity.（在太空中，因为没有重力，所有东西都会漂浮。） ⑥ They have to be tied down to sleep, and their food must be kept in bags so it doesn't float away. 解析：have to be tied down和must be kept为“情态动词 + 被动语态”，描述宇航员在太空中必须被动接受的约束。tie down意为“绑住、拴住”，keep in bags意为“装在袋子里”，float away意为“飘走”。该句用情态动词被动语态描述太空生活的困难。 例句：All equipment on the spacecraft must be tied down so it doesn't float away.（宇宙飞船上所有设备都必须被固定住才不会飘走。） ⑦ Yet despite the challenges, they all agree — the view of Earth from above is breathtaking. 解析：Yet despite为转折结构，意为“然而尽管”。breathtaking意为“令人叹为观止的”，由breath（呼吸）+ taking（带走）构成。破折号后引出宇航员们的共同感受。 例句：Despite the difficulties, astronauts all agree that space travel is worth it.（尽管困难重重，宇航员们都认为太空旅行是值得的。） ⑧ Why do we explore space? 解析：特殊疑问句，引出下文对太空探索理由的阐述。 ⑨ There are three main reasons. 解析：该句为过渡句，直接回答⑧句“Why do we explore space?”的问题，引出下文三个理由。There be句型表存在，three main reasons为“三个主要原因”。 例句：There are two main reasons why I want to become an astronaut.（我想成为宇航员有两个主要原因。） ⑩ First, space research helps us better understand our own planet. 解析：helps us better understand为“help sb. (to) do”结构。该句为第一条理由——太空研究帮助我们更好地了解地球。 例句：Space research helps scientists learn more about Earth's climate.（太空研究帮助科学家了解更多关于地球气候的信息。） ⑪ Second, technologies developed for space — such as satellite communication and weather monitoring — will be used to improve life on Earth. 解析：satellite意为“人造卫星”。will be used为一般将来时被动语态。破折号中间插入satellite communication和weather monitoring两个太空技术的具体例子。developed for space为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰technologies。improve life on Earth意为“改善地球上的生活”。 例句：GPS technology, which was developed for space, is now used in our daily lives.（GPS技术原本是为太空开发的，现在已被用于我们的日常生活中。） ⑫ Third, as Earth's resources are being used up, new resources may be discovered on other planets. 解析：may be discovered为情态动词 + 被动语态，表示“可能被发现”。are being used up为现在进行时被动语态（复习拓展），描述“正在被耗尽”的进行状态。resources，use up意为“用完、耗尽”，与run out of同义。 例句：As water resources are being used up, new ways to save water must be found.（随着水资源被耗尽，必须找到节约用水的新方法。） ⑬ It is believed that new homes for human beings will be built beyond Earth in the distant future. 解析：It is believed that... 为固定句型，意为“人们相信……”。will be built为一般将来时被动语态。in the distant future为将来时标志性时间状语。beyond Earth意为“地球之外”。 例句：It is believed that humans will live on other planets in the distant future.（人们相信，在遥远的未来，人类将生活在其他行星上。） ⑭ China has made remarkable progress in space exploration. 解析：space exploration为单元核心短语，意为“太空探索”。has made为现在完成时，remarkable意为“显著的”。 例句：China has made remarkable progress in exploring the moon in recent years.（近年来，中国在探索月球方面取得了显著进展。） ⑮ The Tiangong space station was completed in 2022. 解析：was completed为一般过去时被动语态，强调2022年完成的动作。该句展示中国航天的核心成就——天宫空间站建成。 例句：The new research centre was completed last year.（新的研究中心于去年建成。） ⑯ The Zhurong rover has explored the surface of Mars. 解析：rover意为“探测器、漫游车”。has explored为现在完成时主动语态，强调“已经探索了”这一结果对现在的影响——我们对火星有了更多了解。该句与⑮句形成时态对比，体现不同侧重点。 例句：The Chinese rover has sent back many photos of Mars.（中国的火星车已经传回了许多火星照片。） ⑰ More exciting missions will be launched in the near future, including the Xuntian space telescope, which will be sent into orbit to observe the faraway universe. 解析：missions意为“任务、使命”。will be launched和will be sent为一般将来时被动语态。Xuntian space telescope为巡天空间望远镜。which will be sent... 为非限制性定语从句，说明望远镜的用途。in the near future为将来时标志性时间状语。observe意为“观测”。 例句：More space telescopes will be launched to observe the faraway universe.（将发射更多太空望远镜来观测遥远的宇宙。） ⑱ China also cooperates with other countries on space research, showing that space exploration is a shared dream of humankind. 解析：cooperates意为“合作”，搭配cooperate with sb. on sth.。showing that... 为现在分词短语作结果状语。shared dream意为“共同的梦想”，humankind意为“人类”。该句体现中国航天对外开放与合作的态度。 例句：Many countries cooperate on space research to explore the unknown universe. （许多国家在太空研究方面开展合作，以探索未知的宇宙。） ⑲ These achievements prove that China's space programme is not just about reaching new heights — it is about creating a better future for all. 解析：prove that... 为that引导的宾语从句。not just...it is about... 结构强调转折——不仅是达到新高度，更是创造更美好的未来。该句为对中国航天成就的意义升华。 例句：Space exploration is not just about technology — it is about inspiring the next generation.（太空探索不仅仅是关于技术——它还关乎激励下一代。） ⑳ I dream that one day, I can look down at Earth from space — and see a world united by the spirit of exploration. 解析：I dream that... 为that引导的宾语从句。look down at Earth from space意为“从太空俯瞰地球”。united by the spirit of exploration为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰world。该句表达个人太空梦想，同时点明探索精神。 例句：Many young people dream that they can travel to space one day.（许多年轻人梦想有一天能去太空旅行。） ㉑ I believe that more young people will be inspired by China's achievements to pursue careers in science. 解析：will be inspired为一般将来时被动语态。I believe that... 为that引导的宾语从句。pursue careers in science意为“投身科学事业”。该句将“中国成就”与“激励年轻人”连接起来，体现价值观传递。 例句：Many students will be inspired by the scientist's story to study physics.（许多学生将被这位科学家的故事所激励，去学习物理。） ㉒ It is hoped that the mysteries of the universe will be unlocked by the next generation. 解析：It is hoped that... 为固定句型，意为“人们希望……”。will be unlocked为一般将来时被动语态。generation意为“一代人”。 例句：It is hoped that more young people will become interested in space exploration.（人们希望更多年轻人对太空探索产生兴趣。） ㉓ Remember — the stars are not as far away as they seem. 解析：Remember为祈使句。as far away as they seem为比较状语从句，意为“不像看起来那么遥远”。该句鼓励年轻人勇敢追梦。 例句：Remember — your dreams are not as far away as they seem.（记住——你的梦想不像看起来那么遥远。） ㉔ Keep dreaming. ㉕ Keep exploring. 解析：两句均为祈使句，keep doing意为“继续做……”。以简洁有力的句式发出呼吁，增强感染力。 例句：Keep learning and you will achieve great things.（不断学习，你就会取得伟大的成就。） ㉖ Who knows what will be discovered tomorrow? 解析：will be discovered为一般将来时被动语态的特殊疑问句形式。Who knows...? 为反问句，意为“谁知道……呢？”。what will be discovered tomorrow为宾语从句，用陈述语序。该句以反问结尾，引人思考，同时呼应开篇“仰望星空”的主题。 例句：Who knows what new planets will be discovered in the future?（谁知道未来会发现什么新的行星呢？） （一）重点词汇 词汇 词性 释义 词形变换 用法与搭配 exploration n. 探索、探测 explore (v.)；explorer (n.) space exploration explore v. 探索 exploration (n.)；explorer (n.) explore the universe astronaut n. 宇航员 — become an astronaut weightless adj. 失重的 weight (n.) feel weightless spacecraft n. 宇宙飞船 单复数同形 by spacecraft satellite n. 人造卫星 — launch a satellite rover n. 探测器、漫游车 — send a rover mission n. 任务、使命 — carry out a mission telescope n. 望远镜 — space telescope orbit n. 轨道 — in orbit / into orbit launch v./n. 发射 — launch a rocket cooperate v. 合作（不及物） cooperation (n.) cooperate with sb. on sth. observe v. 观测 observation (n.) observe the stars resource n. 资源 — natural resources generation n. 一代人 — the next generation （二）重点短语 短语 释义 例句 space exploration 太空探索 China has made great achievements in space exploration. in the coming years 在未来几年 More missions will be carried out in the coming years. in the near future 在不久的将来 A new telescope will be launched in the near future. in the distant future 在遥远的未来 New homes may be built in the distant future. carry out 执行、实施 The mission will be carried out next year. use up / run out of 用完、耗尽 Earth's resources are being used up. cooperate with 与……合作 China cooperates with other countries on space research.

It is hoped that... 人们希望…… It is hoped that more mysteries will be unlocked. （三）单元语法：一般将来时的被动语态 1. 为什么需要被动语态？ 主动语态强调“谁做了某事”；被动语态强调“什么被做了”。太空探索话题中，我们常描述“什么将被做”“什么将被发现”——这正是将来时被动语态的典型使用场景。 2. 构成方式 核心公式：will be + 过去分词 More astronauts will be sent. A new telescope will be launched. 变否定句和疑问句： 句型 结构 例句 肯定句 主语 + will be + 过去分词 More astronauts will be sent. 否定句 主语 + will not be + 过去分词 More astronauts will not be sent. 一般疑问句 Will + 主语 + be + 过去分词？ Will more astronauts be sent? 特殊疑问句 疑问词（作主语）+ will + be + 过去分词？ What will be discovered? 3. 主动变被动的三步法 ① 将主动句的宾语移到句首，作被动句的主语。 ② 谓语改为“will be + 过去分词”。 ③ 原主语可省略，如需说明可加by。 China will send more astronauts. → More astronauts will be sent (by China). 4. 含情态动词的被动 情态动词 + be + 过去分词 New resources may be found. The mission must be completed on time. 5. 本单元常见时间状语 时间状语 含义 例句 in the future 在未来 A new station will be built in the future. in the coming years 在未来几年 More astronauts will be sent in the coming years. in the near future 在不久的将来 The telescope will be launched in the near future. in the distant future 在遥远的未来 New homes may be built in the distant future. next year 明年 The mission will be carried out next year. 6. 四种被动时态对比 时态 结构 例句 使用场景 一般现在时被动 am/is/are + 过去分词 The station is used for research. 描述一般事实 一般过去时被动 was/were + 过去分词 The station was completed in 2022. 描述过去发生的被动动作 一般将来时被动 will be + 过去分词 More astronauts will be sent. 描述将来发生的被动动作 现在完成时被动 have/has been + 过去分词 The station has been used since 2022. 描述从过去持续到现在的被动状态 7. 常见易错点 易错一：遗漏be动词 错句：More astronauts sent to space. 正句：More astronauts will be sent to space. 解析：被动语态的谓语必须包含“be + 过去分词”，不可省略be动词。 易错二：情态动词被动中遗漏be 错句：New resources may found. 正句：New resources may be found. 解析：被动语态必须为“情态动词 + be + 过去分词”。 易错三：疑问句中被动语态的语序 错句：What will achieved through our efforts? 正句：What will be achieved through our efforts? 解析：疑问句中be动词也不可省略。疑问词作主语时，语序为“疑问词 + will + be + 过去分词”。 易错四：过去分词形式错误 错句：More information will be discover. 正句：More information will be discovered. 解析：被动语态必须用过去分词，动词原形或过去式都不行。 易错五：by短语位置错误 错句：More astronauts by China will be sent. 正句：More astronauts will be sent by China. 解析：by短语应放在整个谓语动词之后。 一、语法选择 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 China 1. ______ remarkable progress in space exploration in recent years.

Many ancient cultures believed that stars were from gods or other mysterious worlds. However, as science and technology developed, we learned the truth: stars are real places, like our own sun, and they are farther away than anyone imagined. The man-made object which has travelled farthest from Earth is Voyager 1. This spacecraft was launched in 1977. By 2025, it was over 25 billion kilometres from Earth. But that is still a long way from Earth's second-closest star, Proxima Centauri. That star is 4.2 light years away — about 40 trillion kilometres! The challenge of visiting the stars gets even bigger for human space flights. The farthest that any human has travelled in space is only about 400,000 kilometres, to the far side of the moon. Time is a big problem. At present, even a journey to Mars will take around six to nine months. What will the astronauts eat and drink? And how about their health and safety? These problems grow even bigger when we talk about visiting another star. It might take hundreds of thousands of years to get there! Scientists, however, believe that visiting the stars is not a completely wild dream. One idea is to have the astronauts sleep during their journey, like some animals do in winter. Another is to develop much faster spacecraft. 1. What did many ancient cultures believe about stars? A. They were made of gas. B. They were from gods or mysterious worlds. C. They were the same as our sun. D. They were closer than we thought. 2. What is Voyager 1? A. A star. B. A planet. C. A spacecraft. D. A space station. 3. How far is Proxima Centauri from Earth? A. .2 light years. B. 400,000 kilometres. C. 25 billion kilometres. D. 40 trillion years. 4. Why is time a big problem for space travel? A. Astronauts get bored easily. B. Food goes bad quickly. C. A journey to another star might take hundreds of thousands of years. D. The spacecraft is too slow. 5. What is one idea scientists have for visiting the stars? A. To send robots instead of humans. B. To have astronauts sleep during the journey. C. To build a space station near the stars. D. To use rockets that fly faster than light. B Do you know what life is like in space? Astronauts float because there is no gravity. They have to be tied down to sleep, and their food must be kept in bags so it doesn't float away. Yet despite the challenges, they all agree — the view of Earth from above is breathtaking. But why do we spend so much money and effort on space exploration? There are three good reasons. First, space research helps us better understand our own planet. By studying other planets, we learn more about Earth's geology, climate, and history. Second, technologies developed for space can benefit us here on Earth. Satellite communication and weather monitoring are just two examples. Third, as Earth's resources are being used up, we may find new resources on other planets in the future. China has made remarkable progress in space exploration. The Tiangong space station was completed in 2022, and the Zhurong rover has explored the surface of Mars. More exciting missions will be launched in the coming years, including the Xuntian space telescope, which will be sent into orbit to observe the faraway universe. China also cooperates with other countries on space research, showing that space exploration is a shared dream of humankind. 6. According to the passage, why do astronauts have to be tied down to sleep? A. Because it is cold in space. B. Because they need to save space. C. Because they are afraid of falling. D. Because there is no gravity. 7. How many reasons for space exploration are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 8. What does the example of satellite communication show? A. Space technology can benefit life on Earth. B. Space exploration is expensive. C. Satellites are hard to build. D. Space research is only for scientists. 9. What does the author mean by “space exploration is a shared dream of humankind”? A. Only a few countries can explore space. B. Space exploration is too difficult for most countries. C. All countries should work together in space exploration. D. The dream of space exploration is not important. 10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Chinese space achievement? A. The Tiangong space station. B. The Zhurong rover. C. The Xuntian space telescope. D. A manned mission to Mars. 四、信息还原 阅读下面短文，从方框中所给的A—F六个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文完整、通顺。 A. It is believed that more countries will join in space research. B. What does Earth look like from space? C. That is why more astronauts will be sent there. D. Space exploration requires international cooperation. E. A journey to Mars will take around six to nine months. F. However, the challenges are great. Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in space? Astronauts float because there is no gravity. 1. ______ They have to be tied down to sleep, and their food must be kept in bags so it doesn't float away. Yet despite these difficulties, they all agree that the view of Earth from above is breathtaking. 2. ______ Many astronauts say it looks like a huge shining ball floating in the darkness. From up there, you can see the oceans, the mountains, and even the lights of cities at night. It is a sight that few people have ever seen. Why do we spend so much money on space exploration? First, it helps us understand our own planet better. Second, technologies developed for space benefit us on Earth. Third, we may find new resources on other planets. 3. ______ China has made great progress in space exploration. The Tiangong space station was completed in 2022, and more missions will follow. 4. ______ The Xuntian space telescope will be sent into orbit to observe the faraway universe. 5. ______ China cooperates with other countries on space research, showing that space exploration is a shared dream of all humankind. 五、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成各项任务。 Reaching for the Stars Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered what they were like.
