China's Tiangong Space Station has become a hub for international scientific cooperation, hosting 12 research projects from 17 countries. In June 2026, Chinese astronauts successfully completed the first spacewalk to install a new solar panel array, extending the station's operational life to at least 2035. NASA's Artemis program is also accelerating, with the Artemis III mission scheduled to land the first woman and person of colour on the moon in December 2026. The mission will test new technologies for lunar habitation, including 3D­printed habitats using lunar soil. Meanwhile, SpaceX continues to lead private space exploration with its Starship program. The company completed 12 successful test flights in 2026, with the first uncrewed mission to Mars planned for 2028. CEO Elon Musk announced plans to establish a self­sustaining Mars colony by 2050. However, the rapid growth of space activities has brought new challenges. The European Space Agency(ESA)reports that there are over 34，000 pieces of space debris larger than 10 cm orbiting Earth, posing a threat to operational satellites. China has launched a new debris removal satellite, “CleanSpace­1，” which successfully captured and deorbited two defunct satellites in 2026. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 (A)1.How many research projects from foreign countries are hosted by China's Tiangong Space Station? A．12.　　B．17.　　C．29.　　D．35. (C)2.What is the main purpose of NASA's Artemis III mission? A．To test new solar panel technology. B．To establish a Mars colony. C．To develop lunar habitation technologies. D．To remove space debris. (B)3.The underlined word “groundbreaking” in paragraph 1 probably means . A．controversial B．revolutionary C．traditional D．convenient (B)4.When is SpaceX's first uncrewed mission to Mars planned? A．2026. B．2028. C．2035. D．2050. (C)5.What is the main idea of the passage? A．The challenges of space debris removal. B．China's leadership in space exploration. C．Global progress in space exploration in 2026. D．The future of Mars colonization. B Last Thursday, we watched a special science class from space. The astronauts gave the class in the Tiangong space station, about 400 kilometres above Earth. There were three interesting experiments in the class. First, we saw a ping­pong ball in water. On Earth, ping­pong balls always float on water. But in space, the ball stayed at the bottom of the cup. The astronaut said this was because there's no gravity in space, so the buoyancy(浮力)disappears. Then, the astronaut made a water ball. She put a ring in water and pulled it out. A thin water film formed on the ring. Then she added more water, and the film became a big, clear water ball. We could even see her face in the ball! Finally, they put a tablet into the water ball. The tablet made many small bubbles. The water ball looked like a blue Earth with white clouds. It was amazing! After the class, I learned a lot about space science. I want to be an astronaut in the future and do experiments in space! 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正(T)、误(F)。 (F)1.The space class was given in a plane 400 kilometres above Earth. (T)2.On Earth, ping­pong balls float on water because of gravity. (F)3.The astronaut used soap water to make the water film. (T)4.We could see the astronaut's face in the water ball. (F)5.The writer wants to be a scientist and build space stations. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
