8. 未来,火星或许会成为人类的第二个家园。
In the future, Mars the second home for human beings.
【答案】① may ② become
【解析】原句中“或许会成为”是关键词,这里句子描述未来的可能性,“或许”对应的英文可以用may来表达推测含义,情态动词后需要接动词原形,“成为”的英文是become,符合“may+ 动词原形”的结构,用来体现未来某事有可能发生的语义。

B篇
①Imagine taking a long space trip with your pet. How do you both stay healthy in such conditions like microgravity (微重力) and space radiation (辐射)?
②That’s where space-based animal research comes in. On Oct 31, China’s Shenzhou XXI mission (任务) was carried out with four mice aboard. This is the first time China has sent mice into space for experiments, following earlier missions with fish and flies. After the mice return with the Shenzhou XX spaceship, scientists will further study how space affects their bodies.
③Mice are good for space research because they share genetic (基因) similarities with humans, need little room and reproduce quickly. Also, given their short life, six months in space for a mouse is like over 10 years for a human. This allows scientists to predict what long-term space influences on humans in just months, rather than years.
④But not just any mouse can become an “astronaut”. These mice are chosen for their excellent performance during 60 days of training. They pass physical tests, like riding an “exercise bike”, and some other tests, such as solving mazes (迷宫).
⑤”The animal work is helping us understand how to live a better life in space, making it a healthier reality, as well as helping us study a few illnesses that affect us down on Earth,” Julie Keeble from King’s College London told Understanding Animal Research. For example, space is perfect for studying osteoporosis (骨质疏松), as microgravity causes bone loss 12 times faster than on Earth. In 2017, a study with mice on the International Space Station found a treatment that slowed bone loss and helped new bones grow, offering hope for keeping humans healthy both on Earth and in space.
⑥In the world, sending animals to space began in the late 1940s to see if any life could live the high rocket speeds or the microgravity and radiation in space. Today, studies go further.
1. What does the underlined word “their” refer to in Paragraph Two?
A. The mice’s. B. The fish’s. C. The scientists’. D. The flies’.
2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph Three?
A. Which mice are allowed to help humans.
B. How mice are trained to be “astronauts”.
C. Why mice are chosen for space research.
D. How long mice can live in space and on earth.
3. Why is the example of osteoporosis given in the fifth paragraph?
A. To memorize the scientist, Julie Keeble.
B. To express the doubt of the research.
C. To explain the meaning of “osteoporosis”.
D. To make Keeble’s opinion believable.
4. How does the writer organize the passage?
A. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥
C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. D
【解析】本文主要介绍了中国首次将小鼠送入太空进行实验,并探讨了利用动物进行太空研究的意义和方法,以及这些研究对人类健康的潜在帮助。
(1)题: 细节理解题。根据第二段“After the mice return with the Shenzhou XX spaceship, scientists will further study how space affects their bodies.”可知,划线词“their”指代的是前文提到的“the mice”。故选A。
(2)题: 主旨大意题。第三段主要介绍了小鼠被选为太空研究对象的三个原因:与人类基因相似、所需空间小、繁殖速度快。因此本段的核心内容是解释为什么选择小鼠进行太空研究。故选C。
(3)题: 推理判断题。第五段中Julie Keeble提到动物研究有助于理解如何在太空中更好地生活,并帮助研究影响地球人类的疾病。骨质疏松的例子是为了具体说明太空研究如何帮助解决地球上的健康问题,从而支持Keeble的观点。故选D。
(4)题: 篇章结构题。文章结构分析如下:①②段引入太空健康问题并描述中国任务(①设问,②具体实验);③④⑤段:详细说明小鼠用于太空研究的原因(③)、选拔标准(④)及研究意义(⑤);⑥段:回顾全球太空动物研究的历史背景。因此正确分段为:①②/③④⑤/⑥,对应选项D。故选D。

(来源:2025年四川省遂宁市中考英语真题 )On December 17, 2024, two Chinese astronauts, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong, made history. They did a spacewalk outside the Tiangong Space Station and broke a world record. They are part of the three-person team on the Shenzhou 19.
The spacewalk started in the afternoon. Cai went out of the space station first at 12:51 p.m. Song followed him about 90 minutes later. After working very hard for 9 hours and 6 minutes, they came back to the station at 9:57 p.m. Before this, the longest spacewalk was 8 hours and 56 minutes. American astronauts James Voss and Susan Helms set that record in March 2001. Our Chinese astronauts walked 10 minutes longer!
While Cai and Song were outside, Wang Haoze stayed inside the space station. She made sure everything worked well. The three astronauts worked together. They also got help from the space station’s robot arm and the scientists on the earth. Cai and Song did many important things during the spacewalk. They checked tools and put in a machine to protect the space station from space junk. Their work was a big success!
This spacewalk is the 17th time Chinese astronauts have worked outside the Tiangong Space Station. These brave astronauts’ hard work is good for China and the whole world. They are heroes. Their work shows us that everything is possible if we try hard. Their success tells us to dream big!

①Imagine taking a long space trip with your pet. How do you both stay healthy in such conditions like microgravity (微重力) and space radiation (辐射)?
②That’s where space-based animal research comes in. On Oct 31, China’s Shenzhou XXI mission (任务) was carried out with four mice aboard. This is the first time China has sent mice into space for experiments, following earlier missions with fish and flies. After the mice return with the Shenzhou XX spaceship, scientists will further study how space affects their bodies.
③Mice are good for space research because they share genetic (基因) similarities with humans, need little room and reproduce quickly. Also, given their short life, six months in space for a mouse is like over 10 years for a human. This allows scientists to predict what long-term space influences on humans in just months, rather than years.
④But not just any mouse can become an “astronaut”. These mice are chosen for their excellent performance during 60 days of training. They pass physical tests, like riding an “exercise bike”, and some other tests, such as solving mazes (迷宫).
⑤”The animal work is helping us understand how to live a better life in space, making it a healthier reality, as well as helping us study a few illnesses that affect us down on Earth,” Julie Keeble from King’s College London told Understanding Animal Research. For example, space is perfect for studying osteoporosis (骨质疏松), as microgravity causes bone loss 12 times faster than on Earth. In 2017, a study with mice on the International Space Station found a treatment that slowed bone loss and helped new bones grow, offering hope for keeping humans healthy both on Earth and in space.
⑥In the world, sending animals to space began in the late 1940s to see if any life could live the high rocket speeds or the microgravity and radiation in space. Today, studies go further.
1. What does the underlined word “their” refer to in Paragraph Two?
A. The mice’s. B. The fish’s. C. The scientists’. D. The flies’.
2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph Three?
A. Which mice are allowed to help humans.
B. How mice are trained to be “astronauts”.
C. Why mice are chosen for space research.
D. How long mice can live in space and on earth.
3. Why is the example of osteoporosis given in the fifth paragraph?
A. To memorize the scientist, Julie Keeble.
B. To express the doubt of the research.
C. To explain the meaning of “osteoporosis”.
D. To make Keeble’s opinion believable.
4. How does the writer organize the passage?
A. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥
C. ①②/③④/⑤⑥ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥

(来源:2025年四川省遂宁市中考英语真题 )On December 17, 2024, two Chinese astronauts, Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong, made history. They did a spacewalk outside the Tiangong Space Station and broke a world record. They are part of the three-person team on the Shenzhou 19.
The spacewalk started in the afternoon. Cai went out of the space station first at 12:51 p.m. Song followed him about 90 minutes later. After working very hard for 9 hours and 6 minutes, they came back to the station at 9:57 p.m. Before this, the longest spacewalk was 8 hours and 56 minutes. American astronauts James Voss and Susan Helms set that record in March 2001. Our Chinese astronauts walked 10 minutes longer!
While Cai and Song were outside, Wang Haoze stayed inside the space station. She made sure everything worked well. The three astronauts worked together. They also got help from the space station’s robot arm and the scientists on the earth. Cai and Song did many important things during the spacewalk. They checked tools and put in a machine to protect the space station from space junk. Their work was a big success!
This spacewalk is the 17th time Chinese astronauts have worked outside the Tiangong Space Station. These brave astronauts’ hard work is good for China and the whole world. They are heroes. Their work shows us that everything is possible if we try hard. Their success tells us to dream big!
