To the Stars and Beyond
Identifying(确定、定义) the text type Before you read, decide______kind of text it is. Is it a sci-fi story, popular science article, news_________(报道), or something_________(其他的)?
Since the beginning of human history, people__________(look)up at the stars and wondered_______they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were________gods or other____________(mystery)worlds. However, as _________ ________ _________(技术和科学)developed, we learnt the_______(true)about stars. They are real places like our own sun, and they are __________(far)away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit the stars one day?
The___________(人造的)object_______has travelled furthest from Earth is Voyage 1. This spacecraft____________(launch)in 1977. _______ ________(万一)Voyage 1_________(find)by alien life, a special record with sounds and pictures from Earth__________(carry)on board.

That star is 4.2_______ ________(光年)away—about 40_________(万亿) kilometres!
The challenge of visiting the stars gets even bigger for_______ ________(太空飞行)with humans. The furthest that any human__________(go)in space is only about 400,000 kilometres, around the other side of the moon. Time is a big problem. At present, even a journey________the planet Mars will take around six to nine months. What will the astronauts eat and drink_______ _______ _________(在这个阶段期间)? And how about their health and _________(safe)? These problems grow when we talk about__________(visit)another star. It might take ________ ________ _________ ___________(数十万)years to get there!

Another is__________(develop)much faster_____________(宇宙飞船). While this is not possible right now, with nations and scientists_____________(cooperate)with one another, there is hope that the necessary technology will____________(develop). Humans have________ ________ ________(涉足 参观)the moon, successfully landed________(探测器)on Mars, and even photographed other___________(星系). In time, it seems__________(有可能)that one day we may reach the stars as people once________( dream).
2c
For thousands of years, human beings________ _________(梦想着做某事)visiting the moon and other planets. Though many___________(任务)failed or had to_________(cancel), __________ ___________(太空探索)never stopped. In 1969, humans finally________ ________ _________(登上)the moon's surface. Since then, more__________(任务)to the moon________________(complete) .Right now, China's Yutu 2 rover is still exploring the moon, and Chang' e__________________(launch)soon. It is hoped that moon bases_________________(build)in the near future so that scientists can cooperate and do more research there. In time, it seems possible that the wild dream of visiting other planets____________(come)true.
3a
My Space Dream
My space dream is that one day a space station ______________(build)on the moon. I believe there are quite a few___________(益处).
First, it will be a good place for scientists_____________(cooperate) and do space research together. New technologies can____________(develop), tested, and operated there. These technologies can then be used___________(help)build stations on Mars and other planets.
Second, more resources__________(find). I think the moon may have some special kind of__________ __________(能量资源) that can be useful to Earth. It just takes time for scientists to find it.
Third, people may live and work there. Tourists will also be able to visit. I want to be one of the first_________(visit). I hope that one day we humans can spend holidays in space and________ _________ __________(探索宇宙).
Humans have achieved many things that were once only dreams. I hope the space station on the moon will be built in the near future, and I hope it will happen________my lifetime.
