第Ⅰ卷 选择题
一、单项选择（10分）
1.However, no one ________ any life in space yet.
A. has been discovered B. discovered C. has discovered D. have discovered
【答案】C
【解析】句意：但是，没有人发现过在太空中的任何生命。动词discover意为“发现”，A意为“已经被发现”，B意为“过去发现”，C和D意为“已经发现”，yet意为“还未”，通常与现在完成时have/has done搭配使用，排除B，这里是想说“没有人发现过…”，不需要使用被动语态，排除A，主语是no one，看做第三人称单数主语，所以选用助动词has，故选C。
2. He had to find another job________ make a living in the city.
A. in order to B. so that C. in order D. in order that
【答案】A
【解析】选A。考查固定短语。in order to意为“为了”, 后跟动词原形; so that和in order that也意为“为了”, 但后面跟从句。句意: 他为了在这个城市生存, 不得不寻找另一份工作。空后跟make原形, 故选A。
3.—Excuse me, is Mr. Green in the office
—No. He Singapore for a meeting. He will be back in a few days.
A. have gone to B. has gone to C. have been to D. has been to
【答案】B
【解析】have/has gone(to) 意为“已去某地了，强调人不在说话的地方；have/has been (to)意为“已去过某地，强调人不在已去过的地方。据答句中He will come back in a few days. 可知选B。
4.The Sun and its planets ___________the solar system.
A. called B. named C. is called D. are called
【答案】D
【解析】句意：太阳和它的行星被称作太阳系。动词call和name意为“称作”，A是call的过去式或过去分词形式，B是name的过去式或过去分词形式，太阳和行星只能是“被称作”太阳系，需要使用被动语态be done。主语是复数，所以对应的be动词应该选用are，也就是are called，故选D。
5.In the English Club, students need to _______ each other in English. It will help them improve their spoken English.
A. agree with B. communicate with C. worry about D. think about
【答案】B
【解析】句意：在英语俱乐部，学生们需要用英语交流。这将帮助他们提高英语口语。A. agree with同意；B. communicating with与…沟通；C. worrying about担心；D. thinking about思考。由in English可知，这是交流的一种方式，因此选择communicating with与…交流；语境是：在英语俱乐部，学生们需要用英语交流。故选B。
6.－I hear you ________ the USA. When ________ you go there
－Last summer holiday.
A. have been to; did B. have gone to; will C. have been to; do D. have gone; did
【答案】A

A. already; already B. yet; yet C. already; yet D. yet; already
【答案】C
【解析】already"已经",用在肯定句中;yet"还未",常用在否定句或疑问句中。由题干可知选C。
9.His grandma has ______ for 5 years.
A. died B. dead C. been died D. been dead
【答案】D
【解析】句意：他的祖母已经死去了5年。die去世，是瞬间性动词；dead死亡的，是形容词；be dead死亡，是延续性动词。此处与for 5 years时间段连用，故用延续性动词，故选D。
点睛：延续性动词表示能够延续的动作，这种动作可以延续下去或产生持久影响。如：learn, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay等。.延续性动词可以用于现在完成时，其完成时态可与表示"段时间"的状语连用。终止性动词也称非延续性动词、瞬间动词或短暂性动词，表示不能延续的动作，这种动作发生后立即结束。常见的非延续性动词有：come, go, arrive, reach, leave, begin, start, buy, join, die, borrow, getup等。这类动词也可以用于完成时态，说明某个动作的结果还存在，但不能和for 表示的一段时间的状语连用。此处与for 5 years时间段连用，故用延续性动词，故选D。

三、 阅读理解（每题2分，共40分）
A
Chinese Astronaut Bridges Gender（性别）Gap
Wang Yaping, a 41-year-old female（女性） astronaut became the first Chinese woman to enter China’s space station. China’s landmark six-month journey in space has increased a lot of curiosity about the differences between male and female astronauts.
“Astronauts need to meet high physical and emotional standards, so female astronauts will not be exception（特例）from this expectation,” said Pang Zhihao, a spaceflight researcher in Beijing.
“Different from many people’s opinion that it is inconvenient for women to take part in long-term spaceflights, female astronauts actually have many advantages over their male partners in space missions,” Pang said.
Researches on missions with female members in the past have found many physiological indices（生理指数）in women are better than those in males. They are more likely to stay away from iron poisoning, irregular heartbeat and other illnesses.
“Women are usually more careful and normally better at communicating. These advantages are useful in space flights. The presence of a female astronaut brings more possibilities for the mission,” Pang said, saying he looks forward to Wang’s success.
“This is not only an honor, but also a chance for us to research the various advantages female astronauts have when walking into the space,” Pang said. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as they’ll be able to control their weight better and, as a result, perform a wider variety of tasks.”
In addition, astronauts often do indoor experiments, and Wang Yaping is not different there. “She plans to study aerospace medicine and space life to prepare future female astronauts for long-term stays in space,” Pang said, “As part of her mission, she is glad to give her second space-based speech during her stay, encouraging young people to go for their space dreams.”
In order to provide a comfortable living environment for her journey, Tianzhou 3, a spacecraft carrying supplies to the China space station, has sent some necessary supplies that keep her clean and healthy. A special spacesuit was also prepared for Wang’s outdoor activities, lighter than the male’s.
21．What can we know about female astronauts from Para. 2-6
A．They are worse at communicating than males.
B．They can do fewer dangerous tasks than males.
C．They have a more proper size than males generally.
D．They are more likely to have an illness than males.
22．What does Wang Yaping need to do like male astronauts
A．She gives the second space-based speech.
B．She studies Chinese medicine and space life.
C．She provides a comfortable living environment.
D．She meets high physical and emotional standards.
23．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To stress the importance of sending more female astronauts.
B．To discuss the problems that female astronauts probably meet.
C．To show the advantages that female astronauts have over males.
D．To remind us of the risk of finishing tasks for female astronauts.
【答案】CDC
【解析】41岁的女航天员王亚平成为第一位进入中国空间站的中国女性，这也引发了很多人的好奇：男航天员和女航天员在执行太空任务时到底有什么差异。通过北京航天研究员庞志浩的介绍我们知道，在太空任务中，女性宇航员实际上比男性有更多优势。
21．细节理解题。根据短文第六段““Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as they’ll be able to control their weight better and, as a result, perform a wider variety of tasks.””可知，女性一般比男性体形更小，他们可以更好地控制自己的体重，因此，可以执行更广泛的任务。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据第二段““Astronauts need to meet high physical and emotional standards, so female astronauts will not be exception（特例）from this expectation,” said Pang Zhihao, a spaceflight researcher in Beijing.”可知，像男宇航员一样，女宇航员也需要满足高身体和情绪上的标准。故选D。
23．主旨大意题。短文从中国第一位进入空间站的女宇航员王亚平引入关于女性宇航员的话题，短文第三段““Different from many people’s opinion that it is inconvenient for women to take part in long-term spaceflights, female astronauts actually have many advantages over their male partners in space missions,” Pang said.”点明了文章的主旨，文章主要是告诉我们女性宇航员比男性宇航员更有优势。故选C。
B
Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn’t an astronaut, but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!
A new company (公司), Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years’ time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon the size of a football field.
They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive flight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over 100, 000. Because the capsule remains within the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), no special clothing or training are needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.
One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth. The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.
Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises, while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.
Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question.
24. We can see from the passage that Space Perspective ________.
A. has completed over 500 tests B. wants to use Neptune to carry people
C. has quite a long history D. makes it easier for us to fly abroad
25. According to Space Perspective’s plan, space tourists ________.
A. should wear special clothing B. will land back on the ground
C. can watch the Earth from space D. must keep in good health
26. The writer implies (暗示) in the passage that ________.
A. the race to get tourists into space is becoming hot
B. there will be only four ways for visitors to reach space
C. the Stratollite is popular with space passengers
D. Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money
27. The passage can usually be read in the part of ________ in a newspaper.
A. Culture B. Business C. Health D. Science
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】文章主要讲太空旅行可能很快会成为现实，人们正在为此而做出努力。
24.细节理解题。根据“A new company, Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. ... The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule tied to a balloon the size of a football field.”可知Space Perspective想用太空舱“海王星”运载人。故选B。
25.细节理解题。根据“There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars.”可知根据Space Perspective的计划，太空游客可以从太空中观看地球。故选C。
26.推理判断题。根据“Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite”可知“海王星”太空舱面临竞争，再由“Space travel may soon be a reality, but how visitors get there is still a very open question.”可知人们如何到达太空是个很开放的问题，由此推出与此相关的竞争变得很激烈。故选A。
27.推理判断题。文章主要讲太空旅行可能很快会成为现实，人们正在为此而做出努力。属于科学类内容，可能选自报纸的科学部分。故选D。
C
For thousands of years，humans have explored(探索)the Earth. Nowadays，we are exploring space. Astronomers(天文学家)are the modern day explorers. Now，many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking
First of all，astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star(the Sun)．More importantly，it is the correct distance(距离)from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star，they look at the planets around it. In recent years，astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However，many of these planets are either too near the star or too far away.
However，if the planet is in a good position，astronomers look for three key things: water，air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing，astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average(平均)temperature is between－31°C and－12°C.That's cold，but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle，for example. Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365.But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However，Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.
28.What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to live
A．A new star. B．A new planet. C．Some heat. D．Some light.
29. What does the rock on a planet tell us
A．The star is in a right position.
B．We may discover water under it.
C．The planet is too near to the Sun.
D．There can be air around the rock.
30.What's the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.
B. There are planets similar to our Earth.
C. Water，air and rock are important.
D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.
31. Where does the passage probably come from
A. A storybook. C. A travel guide. B. A film poster. D . A science magazine.
【答案】ABDD
【解析】几千年来，人类一直在探索宇宙，现代天文学家正 在寻找适合人类未来生活的新行星和新地方，他们已经发现了一颗与地球相似的行星——Gliese 581g
28.A细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句"First of all, astronomers look for a star."可知，首先要找一个新星。故选A。
29 B细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句"Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock."可知，岩石下面 经常有水。故选B。
30.D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了天文学家一直在寻找 适合人类生活的星球，现在终于找到一颗。故选 D。
31.D这是一篇科普知识类阅读，主要介绍了天文学家在寻找新的星球的过程和结果。
D
Thousands of years ago, Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340–278 BC) wrote the poem Tianwen, meaning Quest for Heavenly Truth. He came up with a series of questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the world around us. The poem showed his doubts about traditional ideas and the spirit of finding the truth.
Inspired by the great poet, China has named its upcoming series of planetary exploration missions (行星探测任务) after the poem. The first one in the series – a Mars exploration mission – has been named Tianwen 1, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on April 24, China’s Space Day. This shows China’s desire (渴望) to explore the universe and discover its secrets.
China has been making great progress in space exploration. As early as 1970, China launched its first man-made Earth satellite (卫星), becoming the fifth country in the world to launch a man-made satellite independently. Since 2003, China has carried out six Shenzhou manned missions and launched two space labs into Earth’s orbit (轨道). China’s moon exploration missions － the Chang’e series – started in 2007. In December 2018, China became the first country to send the probe (探测器) Chang’e 4 to the moon’s far side, which always faces away from Earth.
The Tianwen series will follow the Shenzhou and Chang’e series and move further into space. The first step is to launch a Mars probe this year, which will mark the start of China’s exploration of the Red Planet. The probe is expected to orbit (绕......轨道运行), land on and explore Mars in one mission. If it succeeds, it will be the first to complete all of these tasks in one mission. The Long March 5 rocket will send the probe to Mars. It will take seven months to reach the planet and land.
After this mission, China plans to visit Mars again in 2028, aiming to collect soil from the surface of the planet and bring it to Earth. Around 2030, China will explore Jupiter and several asteroids (小行星), according to CNSA.
32 How does the passage lead to the topic
A. By telling a story. B By giving an opinion.
C. By answering a question. D. By offering a suggestion.
33 What do we know about the Mars exploration mission
A. China will launch a Mars probe named Long March 5.
B. It will be the first mission of the Tianwen series.
C. China will launch the probe on Space Day.
D. The probe will be launched on a rocket built by another country.
34. Paragraph 3 focuses on _____.
A. how China explored the moon
B. how many missions China has completed
C. the progress China has made in exploring space.
D. the meaning of the name Tianwen
35. What will CNSA probably do in the future, according to the last paragraph
A. It will visit Venus and several asteroids.
B. It will collect soil from the surface of the moon.
C. It will launch other missions to Mars.
D. It will visit all of the planets in the solar system.
【答案】ABCC
【解析】本文介绍“天问”系列卫星即将发射，这是继“神州”“嫦娥”系列卫星发射后又一系列航天探索卫星。标志中国开始向更远的太空迈进。
32.A推理判断题。阅读第一段内容可知，文章开头介绍了我国古代著名的诗人屈原和他的长 诗《天问》涉及的内容。文章接下来就是谈论 了“天问1号”探测器命名缘由及发射过程这个话题。由此推知，本文开头是通过讲故事引岀话题的。
33.B 细节理解题。从The first one in the series – a Mars exploration mission – has been named Tianwen 1可知。该系列的第一个任务——火星探测任务——命名为“天问一号”。故答案选B。
34.C 主旨大意题。China has been making great progress in space exploration。这是本段的主题句。
35.D 推理判断题。After this mission, China plans to visit Mars again in 2028, aiming to collect soil from the surface of the planet and bring it to Earth. Around 2030, China will explore Jupiter and several asteroids (小行星), according to CNSA. 这次任务之后，中国计划在2028年再次访问火星，目的是收集火星表面的土壤并将其带到地球上。据中新社报道，2030年左右，中国将探索木星和一些小行星。故中国还会相继发射其它探索卫星。选D。

第三节、任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)
阅读下面的短文，然后根据文章内容简要回答1至5小题。
Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number？Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider (提供者) you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册)．And the last four digits are random (随机的)．
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted (联系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.
Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11 digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0.So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world：they use seven digits.
1．Is China the only country that uses 11 digit mobile phone numbers in the world？
【答案】No, it isn't./ No.
2．What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China？
【答案】We can know where the number is registered.
3．Why does China use 11 digits for mobile phone numbers？
【答案】Because China has/we have the largest population in the world.
4．When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China？
【答案】After three to six months.
5．Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world？
【答案】Canada.

Chinese Astronaut Bridges Gender（性别）Gap
Wang Yaping, a 41-year-old female（女性） astronaut became the first Chinese woman to enter China’s space station. China’s landmark six-month journey in space has increased a lot of curiosity about the differences between male and female astronauts.
“Astronauts need to meet high physical and emotional standards, so female astronauts will not be exception（特例）from this expectation,” said Pang Zhihao, a spaceflight researcher in Beijing.
“Different from many people’s opinion that it is inconvenient for women to take part in long-term spaceflights, female astronauts actually have many advantages over their male partners in space missions,” Pang said.
Researches on missions with female members in the past have found many physiological indices（生理指数）in women are better than those in males. They are more likely to stay away from iron poisoning, irregular heartbeat and other illnesses.
“Women are usually more careful and normally better at communicating. These advantages are useful in space flights. The presence of a female astronaut brings more possibilities for the mission,” Pang said, saying he looks forward to Wang’s success.
“This is not only an honor, but also a chance for us to research the various advantages female astronauts have when walking into the space,” Pang said. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as they’ll be able to control their weight better and, as a result, perform a wider variety of tasks.”
In addition, astronauts often do indoor experiments, and Wang Yaping is not different there. “She plans to study aerospace medicine and space life to prepare future female astronauts for long-term stays in space,” Pang said, “As part of her mission, she is glad to give her second space-based speech during her stay, encouraging young people to go for their space dreams.”
In order to provide a comfortable living environment for her journey, Tianzhou 3, a spacecraft carrying supplies to the China space station, has sent some necessary supplies that keep her clean and healthy. A special spacesuit was also prepared for Wang’s outdoor activities, lighter than the male’s.
21．What can we know about female astronauts from Para. 2-6
A．They are worse at communicating than males.
B．They can do fewer dangerous tasks than males.
C．They have a more proper size than males generally.
D．They are more likely to have an illness than males.
22．What does Wang Yaping need to do like male astronauts
A．She gives the second space-based speech.
B．She studies Chinese medicine and space life.
C．She provides a comfortable living environment.
D．She meets high physical and emotional standards.
23．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To stress the importance of sending more female astronauts.
B．To discuss the problems that female astronauts probably meet.
C．To show the advantages that female astronauts have over males.
D．To remind us of the risk of finishing tasks for female astronauts.
B
Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn’t an astronaut, but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!
A new company (公司), Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years’ time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon the size of a football field.
They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive flight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over 100, 000. Because the capsule remains within the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), no special clothing or training are needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.
One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth. The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.
Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises, while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.
Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question.
24. We can see from the passage that Space Perspective ________.
A. has completed over 500 tests B. wants to use Neptune to carry people
C. has quite a long history D. makes it easier for us to fly abroad
25. According to Space Perspective’s plan, space tourists ________.
A. should wear special clothing B. will land back on the ground
C. can watch the Earth from space D. must keep in good health
26. The writer implies (暗示) in the passage that ________.
A. the race to get tourists into space is becoming hot
B. there will be only four ways for visitors to reach space
C. the Stratollite is popular with space passengers
D. Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money
27. The passage can usually be read in the part of ________ in a newspaper.
A. Culture B. Business C. Health D. Science
C
For thousands of years，humans have explored(探索)the Earth. Nowadays，we are exploring space. Astronomers(天文学家)are the modern day explorers. Now，many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking
First of all，astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star(the Sun)．More importantly，it is the correct distance(距离)from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star，they look at the planets around it. In recent years，astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However，many of these planets are either too near the star or too far away.
However，if the planet is in a good position，astronomers look for three key things: water，air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing，astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average(平均)temperature is between－31°C and－12°C.That's cold，but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle，for example. Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365.But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However，Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.
28.What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to live
A．A new star. B．A new planet. C．Some heat. D．Some light.
29. What does the rock on a planet tell us
A．The star is in a right position.
B．We may discover water under it.
C．The planet is too near to the Sun.
D．There can be air around the rock.
30.What's the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.
B. There are planets similar to our Earth.
C. Water，air and rock are important.
D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.
31. Where does the passage probably come from
A. A storybook. C. A travel guide. B. A film poster. D . A science magazine.
D
Thousands of years ago, Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340–278 BC) wrote the poem Tianwen, meaning Quest for Heavenly Truth. He came up with a series of questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the world around us. The poem showed his doubts about traditional ideas and the spirit of finding the truth.
Inspired by the great poet, China has named its upcoming series of planetary exploration missions (行星探测任务) after the poem. The first one in the series – a Mars exploration mission – has been named Tianwen 1, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on April 24, China’s Space Day. This shows China’s desire (渴望) to explore the universe and discover its secrets.
China has been making great progress in space exploration. As early as 1970, China launched its first man-made Earth satellite (卫星), becoming the fifth country in the world to launch a man-made satellite independently. Since 2003, China has carried out six Shenzhou manned missions and launched two space labs into Earth’s orbit (轨道). China’s moon exploration missions － the Chang’e series – started in 2007. In December 2018, China became the first country to send the probe (探测器) Chang’e 4 to the moon’s far side, which always faces away from Earth.
The Tianwen series will follow the Shenzhou and Chang’e series and move further into space. The first step is to launch a Mars probe this year, which will mark the start of China’s exploration of the Red Planet. The probe is expected to orbit (绕......轨道运行), land on and explore Mars in one mission. If it succeeds, it will be the first to complete all of these tasks in one mission. The Long March 5 rocket will send the probe to Mars. It will take seven months to reach the planet and land.
After this mission, China plans to visit Mars again in 2028, aiming to collect soil from the surface of the planet and bring it to Earth. Around 2030, China will explore Jupiter and several asteroids (小行星), according to CNSA.
32 How does the passage lead to the topic
A. By telling a story. B By giving an opinion.
C. By answering a question. D. By offering a suggestion.
33 What do we know about the Mars exploration mission
A. China will launch a Mars probe named Long March 5.
B. It will be the first mission of the Tianwen series.
C. China will launch the probe on Space Day.
D. The probe will be launched on a rocket built by another country.
34. Paragraph 3 focuses on _____.
A. how China explored the moon
B. how many missions China has completed
C. the progress China has made in exploring space.
D. the meaning of the name Tianwen
35. What will CNSA probably do in the future, according to the last paragraph
A. It will visit Venus and several asteroids.
B. It will collect soil from the surface of the moon.
C. It will launch other missions to Mars.
D. It will visit all of the planets in the solar system.
