三、阅读理解（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分）
On Nov.16, seven astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) woke up to an alarm (警报). A Russian missile (导弹) test had just bombed a satellite into more than 1,500 pieces of space debris (残骸). Some got very close to the ISS.
NASA says space debris like this can travel at more than 28,000 km/h. That’s much faster than a bullet (子弹) (about 3,500 km/h). Even a pea-sized piece of debris could “wipe out” a space station or kill an astronaut if he or she is doing a spacewalk, says Live Science.
Since the 1950s, humans have sent thousands of rockets and satellites into space. Many are still there, and we now face an ever-increasing problem of space rubbish. In 2006, for example, National Geographic reported that a tiny piece of space rubbish hit the ISS, taking a small piece of glass out of a window. In June of this year, a piece of debris ran into one of the station’s robotic arms, which are just like the arms of a robot, and left a hole.
Scientists are trying different ways to deal with the problem. One way is to use a huge net. In 2018, the UK’s Survey Space Center caught some space rubbish with a net in an experiment. It first found the debris, and then collected it with a net and a harpoon (鱼叉).
Another way is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s task to clean space rubbish, is going to be sent into space in 2025. It will use robotic arms to catch debris. This plans to throw the debris into Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), where it will burn up as it falls because of strong friction (摩擦).
21．The bomb of the Russian missile mainly causes ________ according to the article.
A．plants B．soil C．food D．space debris
22．According to NASA, space debris moves ________ as fast as a bullet.
A．eight times B．nine times C．seven times D．six times
23．What happens to a space station if it gets “wiped out”
A．It gets cleaned. B．It gets rebuilt. C．It gets broken. D．It gets old.
24．The best ways to deal with space debris is ________ according to the article.
a. throwing it away into the planet
b. throwing it into the sun to burn up
c. collecting it with nets and harpoons
d. throwing it into Earth’s atmosphere to burn up
A．ad B．cd C．ab D．bd
25．What can we infer from Paragraph 3-4
A．There is nothing we can do to deal with space debris.
B．The astronauts are quite safe in space even there is space debris.
C．More and more tasks are failing because we don’t want to cause space rubbish.
D．Thousands of old rockets and satellites are turning into space rubbish for years.
四、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
DING! This is your captain(机长), Tianwen-1, speaking. We expect to land on Mars(火星) soon. Please get ready to… We will be the ____26____ (three) to land on it.
Ah, what a long flight! Finally, it’s time ____27____ me to start working. Wow! What a beautiful place it is! It seems to be red all over!

____34____ (probable) I’ll run into many difficulties, but I’ll never give up. I’ll try my best to let Chinese scientists learn _____35_____ (much) about Mars than all the others.

六、书面表达
答案：
One Possible Version:
Dear Li Hua,
I’m glad to receive your letter and get a chance to discuss AI with you. I don’t think you need to be too worried about it. AI will never completely take the place of human beings. Instead, it has more advantages than disadvantages.
First of all, AI can work by following orders of human beings. If people don’t want to do some dangerous jobs, they can use AI to keep workers safe. It will save us much time and labour to work with AI. As a result, people can free themselves form work and spend more time on what they are interested in. AI plays an important role in the fields of science and technology in China.
In my opinion, AI is a double-edged sword. Instead of worrying about its negative effects, you should learn more about how to use it properly. Do you agree I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Mike
