1. D 选项：reformer改革者；physician医师；wrestler摔跤运动员；astronaut宇航员。由最后一段首句的“they became astronauts successfully”可知，Tom的梦想是成为“宇航员”，astronaut属于原词复现。
2. A 选项：determined有决心的；pleased高兴的；scared恐惧的；astonished惊讶的。由下文的叙述以及最后一段首句的“After carrying on doing these for years”可知，Tom为了实现梦想，克服困难，所以他应该是“有决心的(determined)”。

4. C 选项：escaping逃脱；tending照顾；lacking缺乏；producing生产。由本句的“they did VR spacewalks and slept on board in a state of”及常识可知，他们在宇航机构体验了太空行走，所以应该是在“缺乏(lacking)”重力和氧气的状态下在宇宙飞船里睡觉。

8. B 选项：export输出；find找到；fold折叠；contain包含。根据本句的“scientists are figuring out whether it’s possible to 8 another ‘Earth’ to live on”及常识可知，随着全球有限资源的耗尽，科学家正在解决是否可以“找到(find)”另一个地球来居住的问题。
9. C 选项：pattern图案；journal日记；interest兴趣；mission使命。由空后的“becoming an astronaut, too”可知，这次奇妙的经历也使John对成为一名宇航员产生了“兴趣(interest)”。
10. D 选项：passive被动的；mild温和的；frank直率的；healthy健康的。由下文的“they worked out regularly”可知，他们经常锻炼身体，因为作为宇航员要十分“健康(healthy)”，具备强健的身体。
11. C 选项：laps大腿；arguments争论，论点；muscles肌肉；chains链子。上文提到要成为宇航员要十分健康，由本句的“they worked out regularly so as to build up”以及常识可知，他们经常锻炼的目的是为了增强“肌肉(muscles)”。

1. an 考查冠词。表示泛指“一个不可能的梦想”应用不定冠词，又因impossible以元音开头，故填不定冠词an。
2. making 考查非谓语动词。因succeed in doing sth是固定搭配，意为“成功做到某事”。
3. into/to 考查介词。因go into/to somewhere是固定搭配，意为“去某地”。
4. stepped 考查动词的时态。因句中缺谓语动词，且由语境可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填stepped。
5. Although/Though/While 考查连词。由句意“尽管科学家尝试避免意外，但事故仍时有发生。”可知，空格处引导让步状语从句，故填Although/Though/While。
6. to explore 考查非谓语动词。名词desire后接不定式作后置定语，表示“……的愿望”，故填to explore。
7. later 考查形容词的比较级。由than可知前面的形容词late用比较级，故填later。
8. independently 考查词性转换。修饰动词send应用副词。
9. have been made 考查被动语态。因主语achievements与make之间为被动关系，结合时间状语up to now可知应用一般过去时，故填have been made。
