There are several platforms you can upload your writing to. Meanwhile, you can interact with other writers, build a community and make some money. Medium: https://medium.com/ Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more. Medium supports a diverse range of writing including, book-length pieces, poetry, essays, and multimedia presentations. Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021, firstly as a reader, and then paid the monthly fee. “The subscription model means there are no advertisements,” he says. “Within four months, my articles were covering my monthly subscription. Between 2022 and 2024, my articles often made over $200 per month.” Substack: https://substack.com/ This platform gained popularity very quickly after it was founded in 2017, seen as a way for writers to build a personal brand (个人品牌). Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year and discovered many like-minded writers. Wattpad: https: //www.wattpad.com This platform is all about stories. It’s been around for a while since 2006. It covers all sorts of writing, from romance (爱情故事), to fantasy (奇幻小说), to historical. Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 and it was the first place where she shared her work. “Wattpad is a wonderful place to be creative, unique and have complete freedom. Write professionally, just for fun or just try it out. You don’t have a deadline.” 1. Which of the following is TRUE about Medium? A. It was set up earlier than the other two platforms. B. Most writers can make over $200 per month. C. It only allows users to post short articles and poems. D. A monthly subscription costs $5. 2. Who has the shortest user experience of one of the platforms? A. Edgar Smith. B. Simon Whaley. C. Nick Winney. D. Eliza-Mari Janse. 3. If you are fond of reading stories, which link will you click? A. https://www.wattpad.com/ B. https://www.storyshare.com/ C. https://medium.com/ D. https://substack.com/ 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍三个可以发表作品、与其他创作者交流、建立社群并获取收入的线上写作平台：Medium、Substack、Wattpad。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Medium 部分中的“but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month(但你也可以成为订阅用户，每月付费 5 美元。……)”可知，成为该平台的订阅用户每月需要花费5美元。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Medium部分“Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021(Simon Whaley 于2021年加入平台)”并结合后文“Between 2022 and 2024”可知，Simon Whaley使用了至少3年；最后一段“Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017（Eliza-Mari Janse 于2017年开始使用Wattpad)”可知，Eliza-Mari Janse使用了约7年；Substack部分“Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year(Nick Winney已经使用 Substack 平台一年多了)”可知， Nick Winney 使用平台的时间为一年多。对比可知，Nick Winney 的用户体验时间最短。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章 Wattpad 部分中的“This platform is all about stories(这个平台主打故事分享。)”可知，这个平台全是关于故事的。因此，如果你喜欢阅读故事，应该点击 Wattpad 的链接（https://www.wattpad.com）。 B For much of the year, the main attraction of Zhuji, a city in Zhejiang Province, is its status as the birthplace of Xi Shi, a woman of great classical beauty who lived 2,500 years ago. But since 2023, tens of thousands have been to Zhuji around the new year for the Xi Shi Music Festival. More than 133,000 visitors stayed overnight during this year’s event, a 29% increase over the one in 2025. China is enjoying a concert boom (火爆). Last year the box-office intake (票房收入) from performances totalled 62 billion yuan, up from 20 billion in 2019, according to figures from the China Association of Performing Arts. Not only are there more offerings, but better ones, too. At a Mayday concert, members of the rock band from Taiwan, China, popped up as giant avatars (虚拟形象) on a huge 3D screen. They also wowed the crowd on a bus, on which a stage was set up, as it circled its way around the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing. What is striking is that almost everywhere else consumers have been reluctant to spend since the pandemic (流行病), yet concerts have roared back to life in China. Visitors lift the economies of the spots they go to as they splash out (挥霍) on food and accommodation. The Performing Arts Association suggests that one yuan spent on concert tickets can bring nearly seven yuan of additional spending. Some fans are particularly hardcore. Last year Ms. Wang, a 35-year-old, followed Mayday to different cities to watch their shows, together with her husband, spending 20,000 yuan on tickets and the same again on flights and hotels. Going to shows is one of the things that she looks forward to most. Chinese commentary has come to call this kind of spending “emotional consumption (情绪消费)”: paying for experiences to comfort the soul, rather than collecting material possessions. This kind of spending is rising in spite of, or perhaps even because of, a discouraging economic situation. 4. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. Better stages have been set up for artistic purpose B. Zhuji is visited all year round for Xi Shi Music Festival. C. Concerts are bringing more economic benefits than ever before. D. Art performance is gaining increasing popularity around the world. 5. What does the underlined word “hardcore” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Devoted. B. Fortunate. C. Emotional. D. Experienced. 6. According to the last paragraph, which of the following might lead to the concert boom? A. Energetic youth. B. Weak economy. C. Wealthy audience. D. Social development. 7. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Music Festival: A Booming New Year Tradition B. Music Festival: A Technological Wonder on Stage C. China’s Concert Boom: Spending on Experiences D. China’s Concert Boom: Lifesaver of the Art Industry 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍国内演唱会火爆，票房大涨，能带动地方经济。一些粉丝跨城追星，这类消费被称作情绪消费，即便经济低迷，人们仍愿意为体验和精神慰藉花钱。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Visitors lift the economies of the spots they go to as they splash out (挥霍) on food and accommodation. The Performing Arts Association suggests that one yuan spent on concert tickets can bring nearly seven yuan of additional spending.(游客在食物和住宿上大肆消费，拉动到访地经济。中国演出行业协会表明，花在演唱会门票上的一元能带来近七元的额外消费)”可知，演唱会带来的经济效益比以往更高。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Last year Ms. Wang, a 35-year-old, followed Mayday to different cities to watch their shows, together with her husband, spending 20,000 yuan on tickets and the same again on flights and hotels.(去年35岁的王女士和丈夫追随五月天到不同城市看演出，门票花费2万元，机票酒店同样花费2万)”可知，她是忠实粉丝。hardcore此处意为忠实的。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This kind of spending is rising in spite of, or perhaps even because of, a discouraging economic situation.(尽管经济形势低迷，甚至或许正因为经济不景气，这类消费仍在增长)”可知，疲软的经济是演唱会火爆的原因之一。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Chinese commentary has come to call this kind of spending “emotional consumption (情绪消费)”: paying for experiences to comfort the soul, rather than collecting material possessions. This kind of spending is rising in spite of, or perhaps even because of, a discouraging economic situation.(中文评论界将这类消费称为“情绪消费”：为获得体验、抚慰心灵而付费，而非购置物质财物。尽管经济形势低迷，这类消费仍在增长，甚至或许正是因为经济不景气才愈发兴盛)”以及全文介绍中国演唱会热潮，指出这种属于情绪消费，人们为体验买单抚慰心灵。C选项“中国演唱会热潮：为体验消费”最符合文章标题。 C The 21st century has witnessed incomparable progress in space exploration. China’s Chang’e-6 mission, landing on the moon’s far side in 2024, collected rock samples containing rare helium-3 (氦-3), which could drive carbon-free (无碳的) applications in power plants, lunar energy networks, and space travel, with minimal radioactive waste and abundant lunar resources. Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis program is constructing a lunar base to test technologies like 3D-printed habitats and water recycling systems, essential for future Mars colonization (火星定居). Private firms also contribute: SpaceX’s Starship reduced launch costs by 70%, enabling universities to deploy mini-satellites for tracking climate change. A milestone discovery came from Mars. NASA’s Perseverance rover confirmed vast water ice deposits (大量水冰储量) beneath the planet’ s surface — critical for producing oxygen and rocket fuel. However, long-term space habitation faces hurdles (障碍). Exposure to radiation in space during the 6-month Mars journey could damage astronauts’ DNA, increasing cancer risks. Additionally, over 900,000 pieces of space debris (太空碎片) larger than 1cm orbit Earth, threatening satellites. In 2025, Japan’s JAXA launched a laser-equipped satellite to vaporize (汽化) small debris, while the EU’s ClearSpace-2 mission will use robotic nets to capture large pieces. Global cooperation accelerates breakthroughs. The China-Russia Lunar Research Station, planned for 2035, will study lunar soil for farming experiments. India’s Aditya-L1 satellite operates with NASA to monitor solar storms that damage Earth’s power networks. Public engagement grows through initiatives like NASA’s “Mars VR,” allowing students to virtually explore landscapes of Mars and analyze geological (地质的) data. Critics (批评者) question the costs — $150 billion spent annually worldwide — arguing funds should address poverty or climate crises. Yet, space research has boosted life-saving technologies: MRI scanners generated from Apollo-era imaging systems, and water purification (净化) methods used in deserts came from spacecraft recycling. As humanity eyes star-to-star travel, balancing exploration with Earth’s needs will define our universal heritage. 8. What is helium-3’s potential use? A. Building lunar habitats. B. Clean energy. C. Medical imaging. D. Plant farming. 9. Why is Mars’ water ice important? A. It helps recycle water in space stations. B. It prevents radiation. C. It makes the soil suitable for farming. D. It aids space missions. 10. How does Japan deal with space debris? A. Using robotic nets. B. Recycling materials. C. Capturing used satellites. D. Vaporizing them with lasers. 11. How is the text organized? A. Question — explanation — suggestion. B. Theory — practice — evaluation. C. Achievements — challenges — reflections. D. Situation — response — result. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了21世纪太空探索成果丰硕，但也面临辐射、太空碎片等难题。多国开展国际合作。尽管有人质疑耗资巨大，太空研究仍催生许多造福地球的实用技术。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“China’s Chang’e-6 mission, landing on the moon’s far side in 2024, collected rock samples containing rare helium-3 (氦-3), which could drive carbon-free (无碳的) applications in power plants, lunar energy networks, and space travel, with minimal radioactive waste and abundant lunar resources.(中国嫦娥六号任务于2024年成功登陆月球背面，采集到含有稀有氦-3的岩石样本。这种物质可用于发电厂、月球能源网络和太空旅行中实现无碳应用，同时产生极少的放射性废物，且月球上的氦-3资源储量丰富。)”可知，氦-3的潜在用途是助力清洁能源相关应用。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“NASA’s Perseverance rover confirmed vast water ice deposits (大量水冰储量) beneath the planet’ s surface — critical for producing oxygen and rocket fuel.(美国宇航局的毅力号探测器证实了火星地表下存在大量水冰沉积层，这对于生产氧气和火箭燃料具有关键作用。)”可知，火星水冰可用于制造氧气和火箭燃料，这些都是太空航行任务的关键资源，因此水冰能为太空任务提供支持。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2025, Japan’s JAXA launched a laser-equipped satellite to vaporize (汽化) small debris, while the EU’s ClearSpace-2 mission will use robotic nets to capture large pieces. (2025年，日本宇宙航空研究开发机构（JAXA）发射了一颗配备激光的卫星，用于蒸发小型碎片；而欧盟的“清除空间-2”任务则将使用机械网捕捉大型碎片。)”可知，日本通过配备激光的卫星汽化小型太空碎片。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一部分（第一段）：介绍各国与私营企业在太空探索领域取得的诸多成就；第二部分（第二段）：指出长期太空居住面临的辐射、太空碎片等挑战，以及对应的解决方案；第三、四段：进一步探讨全球合作模式，同时反思太空探索的成本争议与实际价值。整体符合“成就 — 挑战 — 反思”的行文逻辑。 D NASA has broken its own record by transmitting ultra-clear video over a distance of 31 million kilometres from deep space. The video wasn’t of distant heavenly bodies or spacecraft, but of a cat called Taters running after the light from a laser (激光) pointer. The 15 seconds of the video was transmitted from NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment, which is being conducted on the spacecraft named Psyche that was launched in October. The DSOC experiment will send high-speed test data to the Earth during a two-year run, and is part of NASA’s long-term plan to use lasers rather than radios to transmit information from space. The video of Taters was shot and uploaded to the spacecraft before launch. Abhijit Biswas at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) says that Taters — a JPL employee’s pet — was chosen for the first transmission over that distance because one of the first television test broadcasts also featured a cat — the cartoon Felix the Cat. The film also shows Psyche’s orbital path and technical information about the laser and its data transmission rate. The video took 101 seconds to travel from the spacecraft to the Earth. The message was received by equipment at the Hale Telescope at Palomar, before being transmitted over the internet to JPL in southern California, where the video was played in real time. That data rate makes DSOC faster than most domestic broadband connections. “DSOC is really a proof that this can be done,” says Biswas. He says longer distances than the latest test should be possible in future. One issue is ensuring the laser light is precisely directed so it hits the receiving station. “It’s a very narrow beam (光束); at the distance that Psyche is right now, it is only a few hundred kilometres wide by the time it reaches the Earth,” says Biswas. 12. What aspect of the video transmission is discussed in paragraph two? A. Its whole procedure. B. Its working principle. C. Its background information. D. Its evaluation and reviews. 13. What can be inferred about the video? A. The video only shows a cat chasing the laser light. B. The video featured a cat to honor early communication tests. C. The video was shot 31 million kilometres away from the Earth. D. The video message was transmitted by JPL in southern California. 14. What is Biswas’ attitude towards the future of deep space communication? A. Optimistic. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 15. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the ambition of NASA’s Psyche mission. B. To predict the future of deep space laser transmission. C. To compare the differences between laser and radio communication. D. To report a landmark breakthrough in deep space laser communication. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文报道了美国国家航空航天局借助深空光通信实验完成远距离高清视频传输的突破性试验，介绍该项目背景、试验细节、传输流程以及技术前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The 15 seconds of the video was transmitted from NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment, which is being conducted on the spacecraft named Psyche that was launched in October. The DSOC experiment will send high-speed test data to the Earth during a two-year run, and is part of NASA’s long-term plan to use lasers rather than radios to transmit information from space. (这段15秒视频来自美国国家航空航天局深空光通信实验，该实验搭载于10月发射的灵神星探测器，将持续两年向地球传输高速测试数据，也是航天局用激光替代无线电进行太空信息传输长期计划的一部分)”可知，本段介绍此次视频传输实验的项目来源、运行周期与研发目的，属于相关背景信息。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Taters — a JPL employee’s pet — was chosen for the first transmission over that distance because one of the first television test broadcasts also featured a cat — the cartoon Felix the Cat. (JPL一名员工的宠物猫Taters被选为这次远距离首段传输内容，是因为最早的电视测试广播之一也出现了猫咪形象——卡通菲利克斯猫)”可推知，视频选用猫咪画面是为致敬早期通信测试。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“He says longer distances than the latest test should be possible in future. (他表示未来有望实现比本次测试更远距离的传输)”可知，Biswas认为深空激光通信未来有更大发展空间，对此持乐观态度。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“NASA has broken its own record by transmitting ultra-clear video over a distance of 31 million kilometres from deep space. (美国国家航空航天局在3100万公里深空传输超高清视频，打破自身纪录)”以及通读全文可知，文章围绕这次具有里程碑意义的深空激光视频传输试验展开报道，介绍实验细节、技术优势与发展前景，主要目的是报道深空激光通信领域的重大突破。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The kitchen has always been the warmest corner of my home, filled with unforgettable stories.

Papa was the mechanic (修理工) of the observatory, but during the day Papa would not allow her to get closer to the telescopes there. Only at night, Catalina was allowed in with the permission of the night staff. Catalina loved helping to service the grand telescopes, the eyes that looked out into the universe. She wanted badly to be an astronomer someday. Adults never took her dream seriously. Even her father laughed, “Maybe you’ll be hired to clean the offices.” One day in library, Catalina was reading a plant journal when she stopped at the picture of an unusual white flower. “It’s called wild carrot. “ A Spanish astronomer, who she saw several times in the observatory, stood behind her. “Pretty, isn’t it? I’ve always liked that flower, because it looks like a galaxy.” “A spiral galaxy (漩涡星系),” she whispered. Blond eyebrows climbed the scientist’s forehead. “Indeed. And what is your name, young lady?” he asked. ”I’m Catalina Solis.” “Eduardo Solis’s daughter? The mechanic?” “Yes.” She gave a look at him. “I want to be an astronomer when I grow up.” He laughed kindly, no longer meeting her eyes, and patted her on the shoulder. “Yes, of course, my dear. Work hard in school, and it could happen.” One evening, Catalina eye scanned the top of the observatory as usual. Suddenly she noticed the angle of the one-meter telescope was unusual. The telescope was pointed down, lower than she had ever seen it. Catalina learned from I Papa how dangerous it would be. If left like it was, the telescope would move past its limit and be damaged. So without hesitation she got inside the observatory. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 She saw the Spanish scientist buried in work there. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The scientist’s words meant a lot to her. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She saw the Spanish scientist buried in work there. Catalina walked over to him and greeted him with a smile. To her surprise, he handed her a notebook and asked, “Would you like to help me record the data from the telescope?”Overwhelmed by excitement, Catalina nodded and began to assist the astronomer. The night passed quickly as they worked together, recording and analyzing the observations. Catalina couldn’t believe that she was working with a real astronomer, contributing to the scientific research she had always dreamed of. The scientist’s words meant a lot to her. “Work hard in school, and it could happen.” Catalina took these words to heart and worked diligently every day. She was determined to become an astronomer one day and nothing would stop her. Years passed, and after graduating from college, Catalina applied for a job at the Cerro Tololo observatory. To her delight, she was hired as an assistant astronomer, working alongside the same scientist who had encouraged her all those years ago. Finally, her childhood dream had become a reality, and Catalina knew that nothing was impossible as long as she kept chasing her dreams. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了卡塔琳娜的爸爸是天文台的修理工，她非常想有一天成为一名天文学家，但大人们从来不把她的梦想当回事。后来卡塔琳娜遇到一位西班牙天文学家的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她看到那位西班牙科学家在那里埋头工作。”可知，第一段可描写卡塔琳娜给西班牙科学家帮忙。 ②由第二段首句内容“科学家的话对她意义重大。”可知，第二段可描写科学家的话最终激励卡塔琳娜成为天文学家。 2.续写线索：惊讶——帮助——学习——激励——成功——梦想实现 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.走向：walk over/walk up to ②. 递给：hand/pass ③.决心：be determined to /make up one’s mind to 情绪类 ①.兴奋：excitement /thrill ②.高兴：delight/ pleasure/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

There are several platforms you can upload your writing to. Meanwhile, you can interact with other writers, build a community and make some money. Medium: https://medium.com/ Medium was launched in 2012 by Edgar Smith. You can join Medium for free, but you can also become a subscriber (订阅用户) for $5 a month which allows you access to more contents and do more. Medium supports a diverse range of writing including, book-length pieces, poetry, essays, and multimedia presentations. Simon Whaley joined the platform in 2021, firstly as a reader, and then paid the monthly fee. “The subscription model means there are no advertisements,” he says. “Within four months, my articles were covering my monthly subscription. Between 2022 and 2024, my articles often made over $200 per month.” Substack: https://substack.com/ This platform gained popularity very quickly after it was founded in 2017, seen as a way for writers to build a personal brand (个人品牌). Nick Winney has been using Substack for over a year and discovered many like-minded writers. Wattpad: https: //www.wattpad.com This platform is all about stories. It’s been around for a while since 2006. It covers all sorts of writing, from romance (爱情故事), to fantasy (奇幻小说), to historical. Eliza-Mari Janse started using Wattpad in 2017 and it was the first place where she shared her work. “Wattpad is a wonderful place to be creative, unique and have complete freedom. Write professionally, just for fun or just try it out. You don’t have a deadline.” 1. Which of the following is TRUE about Medium? A. It was set up earlier than the other two platforms. B. Most writers can make over $200 per month. C. It only allows users to post short articles and poems. D. A monthly subscription costs $5. 2. Who has the shortest user experience of one of the platforms? A. Edgar Smith. B. Simon Whaley. C. Nick Winney. D. Eliza-Mari Janse. 3. If you are fond of reading stories, which link will you click? A. https://www.wattpad.com/ B. https://www.storyshare.com/ C. https://medium.com/ D. https://substack.com/ B For much of the year, the main attraction of Zhuji, a city in Zhejiang Province, is its status as the birthplace of Xi Shi, a woman of great classical beauty who lived 2,500 years ago. But since 2023, tens of thousands have been to Zhuji around the new year for the Xi Shi Music Festival. More than 133,000 visitors stayed overnight during this year’s event, a 29% increase over the one in 2025. China is enjoying a concert boom (火爆). Last year the box-office intake (票房收入) from performances totalled 62 billion yuan, up from 20 billion in 2019, according to figures from the China Association of Performing Arts. Not only are there more offerings, but better ones, too. At a Mayday concert, members of the rock band from Taiwan, China, popped up as giant avatars (虚拟形象) on a huge 3D screen. They also wowed the crowd on a bus, on which a stage was set up, as it circled its way around the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing. What is striking is that almost everywhere else consumers have been reluctant to spend since the pandemic (流行病), yet concerts have roared back to life in China. Visitors lift the economies of the spots they go to as they splash out (挥霍) on food and accommodation. The Performing Arts Association suggests that one yuan spent on concert tickets can bring nearly seven yuan of additional spending. Some fans are particularly hardcore. Last year Ms. Wang, a 35-year-old, followed Mayday to different cities to watch their shows, together with her husband, spending 20,000 yuan on tickets and the same again on flights and hotels. Going to shows is one of the things that she looks forward to most. Chinese commentary has come to call this kind of spending “emotional consumption (情绪消费)”: paying for experiences to comfort the soul, rather than collecting material possessions. This kind of spending is rising in spite of, or perhaps even because of, a discouraging economic situation. 4. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. Better stages have been set up for artistic purpose B. Zhuji is visited all year round for Xi Shi Music Festival. C. Concerts are bringing more economic benefits than ever before. D. Art performance is gaining increasing popularity around the world. 5. What does the underlined word “hardcore” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Devoted. B. Fortunate. C. Emotional. D. Experienced. 6. According to the last paragraph, which of the following might lead to the concert boom? A. Energetic youth. B. Weak economy. C. Wealthy audience. D. Social development. 7. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Music Festival: A Booming New Year Tradition B. Music Festival: A Technological Wonder on Stage C. China’s Concert Boom: Spending on Experiences D. China’s Concert Boom: Lifesaver of the Art Industry C The 21st century has witnessed incomparable progress in space exploration. China’s Chang’e-6 mission, landing on the moon’s far side in 2024, collected rock samples containing rare helium-3 (氦-3), which could drive carbon-free (无碳的) applications in power plants, lunar energy networks, and space travel, with minimal radioactive waste and abundant lunar resources. Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis program is constructing a lunar base to test technologies like 3D-printed habitats and water recycling systems, essential for future Mars colonization (火星定居). Private firms also contribute: SpaceX’s Starship reduced launch costs by 70%, enabling universities to deploy mini-satellites for tracking climate change. A milestone discovery came from Mars. NASA’s Perseverance rover confirmed vast water ice deposits (大量水冰储量) beneath the planet’ s surface — critical for producing oxygen and rocket fuel. However, long-term space habitation faces hurdles (障碍). Exposure to radiation in space during the 6-month Mars journey could damage astronauts’ DNA, increasing cancer risks. Additionally, over 900,000 pieces of space debris (太空碎片) larger than 1cm orbit Earth, threatening satellites. In 2025, Japan’s JAXA launched a laser-equipped satellite to vaporize (汽化) small debris, while the EU’s ClearSpace-2 mission will use robotic nets to capture large pieces. Global cooperation accelerates breakthroughs. The China-Russia Lunar Research Station, planned for 2035, will study lunar soil for farming experiments. India’s Aditya-L1 satellite operates with NASA to monitor solar storms that damage Earth’s power networks. Public engagement grows through initiatives like NASA’s “Mars VR,” allowing students to virtually explore landscapes of Mars and analyze geological (地质的) data. Critics (批评者) question the costs — $150 billion spent annually worldwide — arguing funds should address poverty or climate crises. Yet, space research has boosted life-saving technologies: MRI scanners generated from Apollo-era imaging systems, and water purification (净化) methods used in deserts came from spacecraft recycling. As humanity eyes star-to-star travel, balancing exploration with Earth’s needs will define our universal heritage. 8. What is helium-3’s potential use? A. Building lunar habitats. B. Clean energy. C. Medical imaging. D. Plant farming. 9. Why is Mars’ water ice important? A. It helps recycle water in space stations. B. It prevents radiation. C. It makes the soil suitable for farming. D. It aids space missions. 10. How does Japan deal with space debris? A. Using robotic nets. B. Recycling materials. C. Capturing used satellites. D. Vaporizing them with lasers. 11. How is the text organized? A. Question — explanation — suggestion. B. Theory — practice — evaluation. C. Achievements — challenges — reflections. D. Situation — response — result. D NASA has broken its own record by transmitting ultra-clear video over a distance of 31 million kilometres from deep space. The video wasn’t of distant heavenly bodies or spacecraft, but of a cat called Taters running after the light from a laser (激光) pointer. The 15 seconds of the video was transmitted from NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment, which is being conducted on the spacecraft named Psyche that was launched in October. The DSOC experiment will send high-speed test data to the Earth during a two-year run, and is part of NASA’s long-term plan to use lasers rather than radios to transmit information from space. The video of Taters was shot and uploaded to the spacecraft before launch. Abhijit Biswas at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) says that Taters — a JPL employee’s pet — was chosen for the first transmission over that distance because one of the first television test broadcasts also featured a cat — the cartoon Felix the Cat. The film also shows Psyche’s orbital path and technical information about the laser and its data transmission rate. The video took 101 seconds to travel from the spacecraft to the Earth. The message was received by equipment at the Hale Telescope at Palomar, before being transmitted over the internet to JPL in southern California, where the video was played in real time. That data rate makes DSOC faster than most domestic broadband connections. “DSOC is really a proof that this can be done,” says Biswas. He says longer distances than the latest test should be possible in future. One issue is ensuring the laser light is precisely directed so it hits the receiving station. “It’s a very narrow beam (光束); at the distance that Psyche is right now, it is only a few hundred kilometres wide by the time it reaches the Earth,” says Biswas. 12. What aspect of the video transmission is discussed in paragraph two? A. Its whole procedure. B. Its working principle. C. Its background information. D. Its evaluation and reviews. 13. What can be inferred about the video? A. The video only shows a cat chasing the laser light. B. The video featured a cat to honor early communication tests. C.

Papa was the mechanic (修理工) of the observatory, but during the day Papa would not allow her to get closer to the telescopes there. Only at night, Catalina was allowed in with the permission of the night staff. Catalina loved helping to service the grand telescopes, the eyes that looked out into the universe. She wanted badly to be an astronomer someday. Adults never took her dream seriously. Even her father laughed, “Maybe you’ll be hired to clean the offices.” One day in library, Catalina was reading a plant journal when she stopped at the picture of an unusual white flower. “It’s called wild carrot. “ A Spanish astronomer, who she saw several times in the observatory, stood behind her. “Pretty, isn’t it? I’ve always liked that flower, because it looks like a galaxy.” “A spiral galaxy (漩涡星系),” she whispered. Blond eyebrows climbed the scientist’s forehead. “Indeed. And what is your name, young lady?” he asked. ”I’m Catalina Solis.” “Eduardo Solis’s daughter? The mechanic?” “Yes.” She gave a look at him. “I want to be an astronomer when I grow up.” He laughed kindly, no longer meeting her eyes, and patted her on the shoulder. “Yes, of course, my dear. Work hard in school, and it could happen.” One evening, Catalina eye scanned the top of the observatory as usual. Suddenly she noticed the angle of the one-meter telescope was unusual. The telescope was pointed down, lower than she had ever seen it. Catalina learned from I Papa how dangerous it would be. If left like it was, the telescope would move past its limit and be damaged. So without hesitation she got inside the observatory. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 She saw the Spanish scientist buried in work there. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The scientist’s words meant a lot to her. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
