And they won’t spend a lot of money 6 (travel) on the rocket, because it will be very cheap. Before the trip, everyone will only need to buy 7 ticket and a spacesuit (太空服). The spacesuit will make people do things 8 (easy) on the planet. There will be houses, banks and shops on the planet. 9 people want to buy something, they will take out their credit cards (信用卡) to pay for them. Do you want 10 (live) a wonderful life like this?

It makes stars look like they’ re dancing!” John 2 (smile). “How do you know that?” “I learned it 3 the books about stars.” John answered. “But I still don’t quite understand. Can you explain it with 4 example?” Sally looked at John. “Think about a rock in a river.” John said. “The rock doesn’t look clear because water moves. In the same way, moving air makes starlight shake.” “Oh! So stars don’t really dance! The air makes it twinkle like that!” “Right! If we go to space, stars won’t twinkle at all. Because there is no air!” John added. Then Sally pointed at a bright star. “I have another 5 (question). The star is so shiny but so small. Do you know the reason?” “Stars are super far away from us, 6 they look small. In fact, some are 7 (large) than the sun!” John answered. “Wow...” Sally was surprised.

When we reached the planet Zeron, our power banks were almost empty. I took this ship to Zeron because I know the secret of the planet. There is a source of power on Zeron. But we had to escape from the Zeron guards. The escape used all the power we had left.” “No power 6 (leave)!” said Garth. “ 7 that’s impossible. What about power for the life support systems?” “You have 8 (exact) forty minutes left.” answered Omega. “Then the life support systems will fail. And we will all die,” said Varon. “I will not die,” said Omega. “But I 9 (leave) here in this ship forever. “But you said Varon 10 (can) help us,” Miranda said to Omega. “How can he help us?” Passage 10 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 The Earth is an amazing planet! Some places are very hot, like the areas near the equator. Some are freezing cold, like the North and South Poles. There are 1 (field) and mountains, rivers and seas, forests and deserts. The highest mountain on Earth is over 8,800 metres above sea level. And the 2 (deep) part of the sea is more than 10,000 metres down. The plants on Earth 3 (be) wonderful in many different ways. The tallest trees in the world can reach over 100 metres in 4 (high). The smallest plant is as small as a grain of rice. The Earth is home 5 millions of animals. Some, like tigers and lions, live on land. Other animals, like birds, enjoy the wide open sky. Big blue whales call the sea home, along with many amazing fish. From bears to birds, from butterflies to seahorses, animals make our planet lovely and 6 (interest).

But it’s not enough to breathe. Was there 2 (some) life on Mars? China is 3 (send) a robot to find out. The Mars rover (巡视器) is a robotic scientist. It has a seven-foot arm. The rover will land in Mars 4 February 2025. This robotic scientist’s job is 5 (look) for clues (线索). These clues could tell 6 (we) if there was once life on Mars. For example, it will look for rocks on Mars. Those 7 (rock) may have fossils (化石) in them. And the fossils will help us to know if there was once life on Mars. “Robots can help us answer big scientific questions,” 8 (say) Dr. Chen. She’s a scientist. “It’s hard to send 9 person to Mars. But we know how to send robots.” The rover will also 10 (take) a small helicopter (直升机) to Mars. It will test the helicopter. This will tell scientists how the flying vehicle would work there. Passage 2 读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容或括号内所给词的正确形式。（每空一词） Scientists think that there has been life 1 the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet. The earth is a planet and it 2 (go) around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment 3 that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on 4 (they). The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much 5 (large) group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are 6 (billion) of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them. Scientists have also 7 (discover) many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel 8 many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is 9 (possible) to imagine. Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take 10 (photo). They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has traveled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy. Passage 3 What will life be like in 100 years? Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 100. The Earth will be crowded and there will be more 1 (pollute) then. It is hoped that people could build a 2 (good) world on Mars. Here 3 (be) what life there could be like in the future. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody 4 (know) whether there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether 5 (plant) could grow on Mars. Food would most possibly be in 6 form of pills (药片) and would not be so tasty. Compared 7 life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do a lot of 8 (they) work so that they could have more time to relax. There would 9 (probable) be no schools on Mars. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting 10 challenging. However, it takes time. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our planet—the Earth! Passage 4 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Earth — our home and our planet, is a truly amazing place to live. Think about so many kinds of lives living on Earth. If you have ever flown on a plane, you’ve 1 (get) a new respect（尊重） for Earth. Earth is the only planet known to support life. The 2 (difference) in life forms on Earth are far more than our imagination. On the one hand, there are tiny microbes（微生物）and they can only 3 (see) through a microscope. On the other hand, there are 0-metre long whales that swim through our oceans, covering 4 (thousand) of miles in their ravels. We have mountains 5 （near）ten kilometres high and valleys（峡谷）many kilometres deep. The 6 (deep) valleys of all are underwater. These undersea valleys can reach 11 kilometres in depth. And yet, even under the pressure of the water at that depth, life still exists. Look at the trees around you. Some trees are over 100 metres tall. That looks 7 a 0-storey building! And they can be 1,000 years old. We have soft grass 8 (walk) on, and trees with needles（针叶）so sharp that they can make your finger bleed if you touch them. But the most amazing thing about this planet is the people. There are more than seven billion people 9 (live) on this planet. We live in different places and speak different languages, 10 we live on the same planet and enjoy the same sun, the same air and the same water. Earth — our only home, our great planet. Humans really are so lucky to have such a wonderful place to call home. Passage 5 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 In the solar system, the Sun is in the center, and eight planets go 1 it. The Asteroid Belt separates the planets into two 2 (group)—the inner planets and the outer planets. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are 3 (close) to the Sun. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are 4 (far) away. The inner planets are 5 (small) and made of rocks and 6 (soil), while the outer planets are larger and made of 7 (gas) with rocks inside. The inner planets have 8 (few) moons than the outer planets. This is one of the main 9 (difference) between the two groups. Comparing these two 10 (type) of planets helps us understand the solar system better. Passage 6 阅读短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 The world’s 1 (one) large language model (LLM) for moon study is coming! It makes studying the moon much 2 (easy). “We call the LLM the ‘smart brain’ for the digital moon, 3 it has the most moon information in one place in the world,” said Xinhua. On the moon, there 4 (be) more than 1 million big craters (陨石坑) and lots of small ones. It’s really hard for scientists 5 (find) all these holes by themselves. The LLM can tell and remember different craters by size, depth and shape. According to Liu Jianzhong, 6 researcher (研究员) at the Institute of Geochemistry (地理化学研究所), the model is correct more than 80 percent of the time. Working things out faster helps scientists learn more quickly and 7 (get) ready for harder missions (任务) in the future. Using big AI models for moon science can also teach researchers how to explore other 8 (planet) better. “The LLM is 9 a child with a very high IQ. We train and teach the child professional (专业的) things,” Liu told Xinhua. “We will keep it growing and helping 10 (we) solve more scientific (科学的) problems.” Passage 7 读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容或括号内所给词的正确形式。 Scientists think that there has been life 1 the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet. The earth is 2 planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, 3 scientists do not think they will find life on 4 (they). The sun and its planets 5 (call) the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much 6 (large) group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are 7 (billion) of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them. Scientists have also 8 (discover) many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is 9 (possible) to imagine. Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take 10 (photo). They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. Passage 8 阅读短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词，或用括号内单词的正确形式填空。 Because the population is increasing 1 (rapid), the Earth is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It 2 (believe) that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. What’s the life on Mars 3 ? 4 (compare) with life on the Earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have 5 (much) space. They might live in houses with huge rooms. Also, robots would do most of their work 6 (satisfy) people. 7 , our spacecrafts are too slow to carry large numbers of 8 (passenger) to Mars at present. By the year 2100, the spacecrafts can travel at the speed of light, but the journey might be quite 9 (comfort). Moreover, food on Mars would not be so tasty. And gravity could be 10 problem. Life on Mars would be not only interesting, but challenging as well.

That seemed 1 (possible) years ago. But now the idea may come true. Stephen Hawking, 2 scientist from the UK, says humans only have about1,000 years to live on the earth. It means that humans 3 (fly) to another planet in 1,000 years. In fact, we have found one red planet—Mars (火星).

I think life in the future will be more comfortable than now. Because there 1 (be) fewer people living on the earth in the future. We may 2 (live) on another planet. There is no 3 (pollute) and people will plant 4 (many) trees and flowers on it. The environment on that planet may be better than that on the earth. People will get there 5 rocket. And they won’t spend a lot of money 6 (travel) on the rocket, because it will be very cheap. Before the trip, everyone will only need to buy 7 ticket and a spacesuit (太空服). The spacesuit will make people do things 8 (easy) on the planet. There will be houses, banks and shops on the planet. 9 people want to buy something, they will take out their credit cards (信用卡) to pay for them. Do you want 10 (live) a wonderful life like this? 【答案】 1．will be 2．live 3．pollution 4．more 5．by 6．traveling/travelling 7．a 8．easily 9．If 10．to live 【导语】本文畅想了未来生活，认为会更舒适，人们或移居其他星球，环境更优，出行便捷且便宜，还描绘了星球生活场景，最后询问读者是否向往。 【详解】1．句意：因为未来地球上生活的人会更少。根据“in the future”可知，句子时态为一般将来时，其结构为“will+动词原形”，there be句型的一般将来时结构为“there will be”。故填will be。 2．句意：我们可能会生活在另一个星球上。may为情态动词，后接动词原形。故填live。 3．句意：没有污染，人们会在上面种植更多的树和花。no后接名词，pollute的名词形式为pollution，表示“污染”。故填pollution。 4．句意：没有污染，人们会在上面种植更多的树和花。此处是将未来在另一个星球上种树和花的情况与现在在地球上的情况作对比，且是三者以上的比较，所以用many的比较级more，表示“更多的”。故填more。 5．句意：人们将乘火箭到达那里。根据“rocket”可知，此处表示乘坐火箭，by+交通工具，表示“乘坐……”，为固定搭配。故填by。 6．句意：而且他们不会花很多钱乘火箭旅行，因为它会很便宜。spend money (in) doing sth“花费金钱做某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用travel的动名词形式traveling/travelling。故填traveling/travelling。 7．句意：在旅行前，每个人只需要买一张票和一套太空服。此处泛指“一张票”，空后ticket是以辅音音素开头，空处应用不定冠词a。故填a。 8．句意：太空服将使人们在这个星球上更容易做事。此处修饰动词do，应用副词easily，表示“容易地”。故填easily。 9．句意：如果人们想买东西，他们会拿出信用卡来支付。分析句子结构可知，前后句之间是条件关系，即如果人们想买东西，就会拿出信用卡支付，此处应用if引导条件状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写。故填If。 10．句意：你想过这样美好的生活吗？want to do sth“想要做某事”，为固定搭配。故填to live。 Passage 3 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 UFO means Unidentified Flying Object.
