三、阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
To the Stars and Beyond
Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered what they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were from gods or other mysterious worlds. However, as technology and science developed, we learnt the truth about stars. They are real places like our own sun, and they are further away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit the stars one day?
The man-made object which has travelled furthest from Earth is Voyager 1. This spacecraft was launched in 1977. In case Voyager 1 is found by alien life, a special record with sounds and pictures from Earth is carried on board. It shows who we are and where we are from. Now, Voyager 1 is an amazing 23.5 billion kilometres from Earth, but that is still a long way from Earth's nearest 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 space flights with humans. The furthest that any human has gone 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 to the planet Mars will take around six to nine months. What will the astronauts eat and drink during this period? And how about their health and safety? These problems grow 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. While this is not possible right now, with nations and scientists cooperating with one another, there is hope that the necessary technology will be developed. Humans have set foot on the moon, successfully landed rovers on Mars, and even photographed other galaxies. In time, it seems likely that one day we may reach the stars as people once dreamt.
26.What did many ancient cultures think the stars were?
A.Real places like our sun.
B.Spacecraft from other worlds.
C.Points of light from gods or mysterious worlds.
D.Planets moving around Earth.
27.Which man-made object has travelled furthest from Earth?
A.Voyager 1. B.Tiangong. C.Zhurong. D.Zuntian.
28.How far is Voyager 1 from Earth now?
A.About 400,000 kilometres. B.About 23.5 billion kilometres.
C.About 40 trillion kilometres. D.About 4.2 light years.
29.The underlined word "cooperating" in the last paragraph means ________.
A.竞争 B.研究 C.合作 D.争论
30.What is the writer's opinion about visiting another star?
A.It is impossible and humans should stop trying.
B.It will be done in ten years.
C.Nobody except astronauts cares about it.
D.It is difficult but not impossible.
Why Do We Explore Space?
Host: Our question today is: Why do we explore space? Let's talk to space scientist Dr Yang. Welcome, Dr Yang!
Dr Yang: Thank you very much. Well, there are three good reasons to explore space. First, to improve our knowledge of Earth and its place in the universe.
Host: Could you explain that a bit more?
Dr Yang: Sure. The study of other planets helps us better understand Earth's geology, history, and relationship with other planets.
Host: Oh, right.
Dr Yang: Second, technology developed for space can benefit us here on Earth.
Host: Could you give our listeners an example?
Dr Yang: Of course. Some satellites, for example, help us deal with problems caused by climate change.
Host: Yes, that's very useful. And the third reason?
Dr Yang: Well, at some point in the far future, we may find new resources in outer space. It might sound crazy, but our Earth may run out of resources. In that case, a new home for us human beings will be needed.
Host: Wow, interesting! Maybe Mars will be made into our new home in the future.
31.How many reasons does Dr Yang give for exploring space?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
32.What can the study of other planets help us do?
A.Move to Mars at once. B.Build faster spacecraft.
C.Better understand Earth. D.Save money on rockets.
33.What example does Dr Yang give of space technology benefiting Earth?
A.Some satellites help deal with climate change.
B.Rovers photograph other galaxies.
C.Astronauts plant trees on Mars.
D.Telescopes take pictures of the stars.
34.The underlined word "resources" means ________.
A.资源 B.能源站 C.星球 D.气候
35.What is the interview mainly about?
A.How astronauts live in space. B.The history of the space programme.
C.Why human beings explore space. D.How to become a space scientist.
My Space Dream
My space dream is that one day a space station will be built on the moon. I believe there are quite a few benefits.
First, it will be a good place for scientists to cooperate and do space research together. New technologies can be developed, tested, and operated there. These technologies can then be used to help build stations on Mars and other planets.
Second, more resources will be found. I think the moon may have some special kind of energy resources 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 visitors. I hope that one day we humans can spend holidays in space and explore the universe.
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 during my lifetime.
36.What is the writer's space dream?
A.To visit Mars with tourists.
B.That a space station will be built on the moon.
C.To become a famous scientist.
D.To find energy resources on Earth.
37.Why does the writer think the moon is a good place for scientists?
A.Because it is cheap to get to.
B.Because there is no danger there.
C.Because they can cooperate and do research there.
D.Because nobody else will go there.
38.What can the new technologies be used to do?
A.Build stations on Mars and other planets.
B.Send animals to the moon.
C.Change the weather on Earth.
D.Make holidays cheaper.
39.What does the writer want to be?
A.A space scientist on Earth.
B.One of the first visitors to the moon.
C.An astronaut on Mars.
D.The builder of the space station.
40.What is the best title for the text?
A.Life on the Space Station B.How to Explore the Universe
C.My Space Dream D.A Trip to Mars
四、任务型阅读
Here are three pieces of news about China's space programme.
News report 1
Zhurong, China's first rover sent to Mars, has successfully landed on Mars. It is exploring the surface of the red planet and sending back pictures. It is hoped that a manned mission to the moon will follow.
News report 2
The Tiangong Space Station was completed in 2022. It is China's first long-term space station. Astronauts can live and work there for months. More astronauts will be sent there in the future, and lots of experiments will be carried out on board.
News report 3
The Xuntian Space Telescope also has a name: China Space Station Telescope (CSST). This telescope weighs about 16 tonnes. One advantage is that it flies next to the space station, so it can be maintained and upgraded more easily. Many unknown objects will be discovered with its help.

More solutions to the energy problem will be found for both China and the world.
To make my dream come true, I will study maths and science hard. I will also keep exercising to stay strong, because I know that only the best will be chosen. I believe that this dream will be realized during my lifetime.
