Tiangong Space Station China's long-term home in space,orbiting 400 km above Earth. Chang'e-6 Moon Exploration Collected 1,935.3 grams of lunar samples from the far side in 2024. Zhurong Mars Exploration A rover sent to explore the surface of Mars,looking for signs of water. 11. Which mission was sent to explore the surface of Mars? A. Shenzhou. B. Zhurong. C. Chang'e-6. D. Tiangong. 12. What did Chang'e-6 bring back to Earth in 2024? A. Water from Mars. B. A broken satellite. C. Rocks and soil from the moon. D. A special space camera. 13. What is the main purpose of the card? A. To show China's major space missions. B. To explain how to build a space station. C. To tell stories about ancient Chinese gods. D. To teach students how to watch the stars. B For a long time, scientists believed that our solar system was the only place with planets. Today, however, more than 5,500 "exoplanets" have been discovered. An exoplanet is a planet that moves around a star outside our solar system, just like Earth moves around the sun. Are any of these planets like Earth? Scientists look for three things. First, the planet must be rocky, not made of gas like Jupiter. Second, it should be in the "habitable zone" — a distance from its star that is neither too hot nor too cold. Third, it might have liquid water, which is necessary for life as we know it. In recent years, several Earth-sized planets have been found in the habitable zones of nearby stars. Some scientists believe that where there is water, there may also be alien life. But finding life is not easy. Even the closest exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b, is more than four light years away. That is about 40 trillion kilometres — a distance that would take our fastest spacecraft tens of thousands of years to reach. Still, the search goes on. With newer space telescopes being built, scientists hope that signs of life will be detected in the coming decades. 14. What is an exoplanet according to the text? A. A star that is much larger and hotter than our sun. B. A moon that moves around a planet in our solar system. C. A man-made satellite that travels beyond the solar system. D. A planet that moves around a star outside our solar system. 15. Why do scientists look for planets in the "habitable zone"? A. Because planets there are easiest to photograph. B. Because temperatures there may allow liquid water. C. Because spacecraft can travel there much faster. D. Because those planets are made of rare metals. 16. What does the writer think about finding alien life? A. It is completely impossible. B. It has already happened. C. It is exciting but very difficult. D. It will happen next year. 17. What would be the best title for the text? A. Looking for Another Earth among the Stars B. How to Travel to Mars in a Fast Spacecraft C. The Danger of Living on Other Planets D. Why the Sun Is Important to Human Life C The man-made object that has travelled farthest from Earth is Voyager 1. Launched in 1977, this spacecraft has been flying through space for nearly fifty years. By 2026, it was more than 25 billion kilometres away from Earth. Voyager 1 was designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. But after finishing its main mission, it kept going, sending back valuable data about the outer edge of our solar system. In 2012, it became the first human-made object to enter interstellar space — the space between the stars. Carried on board Voyager 1 is a Golden Record. It contains sounds and pictures from Earth, including greetings in 55 languages, music from different cultures, and sounds of wind, rain and birds. The record was placed on the spacecraft in case it is ever found by intelligent alien life. It tells who we are and where our home is. Today, the power on Voyager 1 is running out. One by one, its instruments are being turned off to save energy. Soon, it will fall silent. But it will continue to drift through the Milky Way for millions of years — a silent messenger from humanity to the cosmos. 18. What was the original mission of Voyager 1? A. To search for aliens in deep space. B. To land on the surface of Mars. C. To take photos of the Milky Way. D. To study Jupiter and Saturn. 19. Why was the Golden Record placed on Voyager 1? A. To play music for future astronauts. B. To test how long records can last in space. C. To introduce humanity to possible alien life. D. To help the spacecraft find its way home. 20. What will happen to Voyager 1 in the near future? A. It will fly back to Earth. B. It will land on a nearby star. C. It will run out of power and fall silent. D. It will be caught by another spacecraft. 21. How does the writer describe Voyager 1 at the end? A. As a dangerous weapon in space. B. As a silent messenger from humanity. C. As a waste of money and technology. D. As an old toy forgotten by scientists. D When we look up at the night sky, space seems quiet and empty. But scientists tell a different story: low Earth orbit is becoming crowded. More than 10,000 active satellites circle our planet today, alongside millions of pieces of "space junk" — broken rocket parts, dead satellites and tiny bits of paint. Even a paint fleck moving at 28,000 kilometres per hour can punch a hole through a space station wall. In 2024 and 2025, the Tiangong space station and the International Space Station had to adjust their orbits several times to avoid collisions with debris. To tackle this growing problem, scientists around the world are developing new technologies. In China, engineers have tested a "space net" that can capture dead satellites and drag them into the atmosphere, where they burn up safely. Other teams are experimenting with lasers to push debris into lower orbits. "Space is a shared resource for all human beings," says space safety expert Dr Zhao. "Just as we must protect our oceans and forests on Earth, we must take care of the space environment. If we do not act now, future space missions will be put at great risk." 22. What is the text mainly about? A. How satellites help people forecast weather. B. The history of the Tiangong space station. C. Why human beings want to explore space. D. The danger and solutions of space debris. 23. Why are tiny pieces of space junk dangerous? A. They produce poisonous gas in outer space. B. They block the light from distant stars. C. They travel very fast and can damage spacecraft. D. They attract too many satellites around them. 24. How does the Chinese "space net" work? A. It destroys space debris with powerful lasers. B. It pushes broken satellites into deeper space. C. It repairs all the broken satellites in orbit. D. It catches dead satellites and burns them safely. 25. What does Dr Zhao advise people to do? A. Stop launching new satellites immediately. B. Protect the space environment like oceans on Earth. C. Leave space debris alone because it will disappear. D. Build taller walls for space stations. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分。 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成各小题的任务。） Why do humans explore space? Space scientist Dr Yang explains that there are three main reasons. First, space exploration improves our knowledge of Earth and its place in the universe. By studying other planets like Mars and Venus, scientists can better understand Earth's geology, climate history and future changes. Second, technologies developed for space can benefit our daily life on Earth. For example, weather satellites help us track typhoons and storms, while materials originally created for spacesuits are now used in firefighters' clothing and sports shoes. Even the digital camera sensors in our mobile phones were first developed for space telescopes. Third, outer space may provide new resources for humanity in the far future. Earth's natural resources — such as minerals and fossil fuels — will eventually run out. Asteroids and the moon contain valuable metals and clean energy resources. In time, a permanent moon base may even become a stepping stone for humans to travel deeper into the cosmos. "Space exploration is not just about leaving Earth," Dr Yang concludes. "It is about finding better ways to live on Earth, and preparing a future for generations to come." 26. How many main reasons for space exploration does Dr Yang give? 27. What was the original use of the digital camera sensors in mobile phones? 28. 根据短文内容，完成下面的结构图，每空不超过3个词。 Reasons to Explore Space: • To understand Earth's geology and ①__________________ • To develop technologies that ②__________________ on Earth • To search for resources in the far future 29. What does Dr Yang mean by the last sentence? （回答不超过 20个词） 30. If you could visit any place in space, where would you like to go and what would you do there? （回答至少 20个词） 四、补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。 根据对话内容，从方框内所给的七个选项中选出五个恰当的句子补全对话，使对话意思完整、通顺。） A. What's difficult about living in space? B. I want to be an astronomer in the future. C. What does Earth look like from up there? D. I have never watched a rocket launch. E. Will a research station be built on the moon? F. It looks like a bright blue marble floating in the dark. G. How do you exercise in zero gravity? Student: Good morning, Commander! We are so excited to join this live class from the Tiangong space station. Astronaut: Welcome, everyone! It's wonderful to talk with you from 400 kilometres above Earth. Student: 31. ______ Astronaut: The hardest part is getting used to weightlessness. You have to tie yourself down when you sleep, or you will float away. Student: That sounds challenging! 32. ______ Astronaut: Oh, it is breathtaking. 33. ______ It is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. Student: That must be amazing.
