When he was a little boy, he often looked up at the night sky and wondered what was out there. He dreamed of becoming an 16 one day. One day, Sam visited a space museum with his parents. There he saw real spacesuits and models of spacecraft. He even got to talk to a retired astronaut. The astronaut told him about his experiences in space, like floating in 17 and looking down at the beautiful blue Earth. Sam was very excited. He asked the astronaut, “What do I need to do to become an astronaut?” The astronaut smiled and said, “First, you need to study hard, especially in science and math. Then, you have to keep 18 and stay healthy. Most importantly, never give up on your 19 .” Sam took the astronaut’s words to heart. Every day, he spent extra time studying science. He also started running and playing sports to keep fit. Even when he faced difficulties in his studies, he 20 thought of giving up. Years later, Sam grew up. He became a top student in college, studying aerospace engineering. Finally, his hard work paid off—he was chosen to be part of a space mission. When he 21 into space, he looked down at the Earth and remembered the astronaut’s words. During his time in space, Sam did many experiments. He also took photos of the stars and sent them back to Earth. When he returned home, he gave a speech to young students, telling them about his journey. He said, “If you have a dream, 22 it. Nothing is impossible if you work hard.” Now, Sam is a famous astronaut. He often visits schools to encourage kids to pursue their dreams. He hopes that more young people will become interested in space 23 and help explore the universe. Sam’s story shows that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their dreams. The sky is not the 24 —it’s just the beginning. And who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be the next person to 25 new worlds beyond Earth. 16．A．engineer B．astronaut C．scientist D．pilot 17．A．water B．air C．weightlessness D．darkness 18．A．strong B．happy C．calm D．busy 19．A．dream B．job C．plan D．idea 20．A．often B．never C．sometimes D．always 21．A．flew B．ran C．climbed D．walked 22．A．look for B．ask for C．wait for D．go for 23．A．travel B．exploration C．life D．study 24．A．end B．start C．limit D．goal 25．A．build B．discover C．create D．reach 三、补全对话。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) A: What are you reading now?

In 1961, a Russian astronaut named Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space. His journey only lasted 108 minutes, but it changed the world forever. Since then, many countries have sent astronauts into space. In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. He circled the Earth 14 times in 21 hours. It made China the third country to send a person into space by itself. Today, space travel is not just for astronauts. Some companies are building spaceships for tourists. However, space travel is still very expensive and dangerous. Tourists need to train for months before they can go. In the future, scientists hope to build hotels on the Moon and Mars. People might be able to take holidays there. But we still have a lot to learn. The universe is big, and we are just starting our journey. 31．Which country sent the first man into space? A．China. B．Russia. C．America. D．UK. 32．How long did Yang Liwei circle the Earth? A．108 minutes. B．14 hours. C．21 hours. D．21 days. 33．According to the passage, why is space travel difficult for tourists now? A．Because it is too hot. B．Because it is expensive and dangerous. C．Because they don’t like it. D．Because there are no spaceships. 34．What is the writer’s feeling about the future of space travel? A．It will completely stop. B．It will become easier but takes time. C．It will be only for soldiers. D．Nobody will be interested in it. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Space travel develops and has a bright future. B．Yang Liwei’s great space trip. C．Hotels will be built on Mars soon. D．How astronauts train for space. Beyond Earth For thousands of years, humans have looked up at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond our planet. Today, we are closer than ever to finding answers. Space exploration began in earnest in the 20th century. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. This event started the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1969, the United States achieved a major milestone when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the lunar surface. Since then, space exploration has continued to advance. Many countries have sent astronauts to space. Space stations like the International Space Station (ISS) have been built, where astronauts live and work for months at a time. These stations allow scientists to conduct experiments in microgravity. China has also made great progress in space exploration. The country sent its first astronaut into space in 2003. In 2022, China completed its own space station, Tiangong. Chinese astronauts have conducted many scientific experiments on the station. The future of space exploration is exciting. Scientists are planning missions to Mars and beyond. Some believe that humans will land on Mars within the next few decades. Others dream of exploring even farther into the universe. Space exploration is not just about satisfying our curiosity. It also helps us develop new technologies that improve our lives on Earth. From satellite communication to medical advances, the benefits of space exploration are all around us. 36．What was Sputnik 1? A．The first human to walk on the moon. B．The first artificial satellite. C．The first space station. D．The first rocket. 37．When did humans first land on the moon? A．In 1957. B．In 1969. C．In 2003. D．In 2022. 38．What can astronauts do on space stations?

Today, we are closer than ever to finding answers. Space exploration began in earnest in the 20th century. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. This event started the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1969, the United States achieved a major milestone when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the lunar surface. Since then, space exploration has continued to advance. Many countries have sent astronauts to space. Space stations like the International Space Station (ISS) have been built, where astronauts live and work for months at a time. These stations allow scientists to conduct experiments in microgravity. China has also made great progress in space exploration. The country sent its first astronaut into space in 2003. In 2022, China completed its own space station, Tiangong. Chinese astronauts have conducted many scientific experiments on the station. The future of space exploration is exciting. Scientists are planning missions to Mars and beyond. Some believe that humans will land on Mars within the next few decades. Others dream of exploring even farther into the universe. Space exploration is not just about satisfying our curiosity. It also helps us develop new technologies that improve our lives on Earth. From satellite communication to medical advances, the benefits of space exploration are all around us. 36．What was Sputnik 1? A．The first human to walk on the moon. B．The first artificial satellite. C．The first space station. D．The first rocket. 37．When did humans first land on the moon? A．In 1957. B．In 1969. C．In 2003. D．In 2022. 38．What can astronauts do on space stations?

When he was a little boy, he often looked up at the night sky and wondered what was out there. He dreamed of becoming an 16 one day. One day, Sam visited a space museum with his parents. There he saw real spacesuits and models of spacecraft. He even got to talk to a retired astronaut. The astronaut told him about his experiences in space, like floating in 17 and looking down at the beautiful blue Earth. Sam was very excited. He asked the astronaut, “What do I need to do to become an astronaut?” The astronaut smiled and said, “First, you need to study hard, especially in science and math. Then, you have to keep 18 and stay healthy. Most importantly, never give up on your 19 .” Sam took the astronaut’s words to heart. Every day, he spent extra time studying science. He also started running and playing sports to keep fit. Even when he faced difficulties in his studies, he 20 thought of giving up. Years later, Sam grew up. He became a top student in college, studying aerospace engineering. Finally, his hard work paid off—he was chosen to be part of a space mission. When he 21 into space, he looked down at the Earth and remembered the astronaut’s words. During his time in space, Sam did many experiments. He also took photos of the stars and sent them back to Earth. When he returned home, he gave a speech to young students, telling them about his journey. He said, “If you have a dream, 22 it. Nothing is impossible if you work hard.” Now, Sam is a famous astronaut. He often visits schools to encourage kids to pursue their dreams. He hopes that more young people will become interested in space 23 and help explore the universe. Sam’s story shows that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their dreams. The sky is not the 24 —it’s just the beginning. And who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be the next person to 25 new worlds beyond Earth. 16．A．engineer B．astronaut C．scientist D．pilot 17．A．water B．air C．weightlessness D．darkness 18．A．strong B．happy C．calm D．busy 19．A．dream B．job C．plan D．idea 20．A．often B．never C．sometimes D．always 21．A．flew B．ran C．climbed D．walked 22．A．look for B．ask for C．wait for D．go for 23．A．travel B．exploration C．life D．study 24．A．end B．start C．limit D．goal 25．A．build B．discover C．create D．reach 三、补全对话。(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) A: What are you reading now?
