On October 12, 2022, Chinese astronauts on board China’s Tiangong space station gave a science lesson 400 kilometers above Earth. It was a great success. Do you still remember the first space lesson hosted by Wang Yaping in 2013 Helped by the other two astronauts, she gave the lesson to more than 60 million school children all over the country.
While watching the science lesson from the Tiangong-1 on the morning of June 20, 2013, Wang Lutian, a 10-year-old disabled student at a special school in downtown Beijing, was drawing a colorful rocket with crayons in his classroom. “Moon…stars…a rocket to the sky,” Wang explained his work in a cheerful voice. At that time, he and more than 100 other disabled students were enjoying the lesson given by Wang Yaping, who talked about movements in micro-gravity（微重力）environments. “Zero gravity!” Qian Shaohong, another student at the school, shouted when he saw astronaut Nie Haisheng making a show of crossing his legs in mid-air. “Scientific knowledge has helped open a window for the children to know about the world,” said Zhang Yini, a teacher at the school.
The lesson also increased（增加） interest in space science among teenagers living on the “roof (屋脊) of the world”. “I was most interested in the presentation of the ‘water ball’ in a gravity-free environment. It’s really amazing,” said Rigzin Jigme Doje, a high school student in Lhasa, Tibet. Describing himself as a lover of physics, Doje said the lesson helped him stay true to his dream of becoming a physicist.
The lesson also encouraged other Tibetan school children to relate the mysterious world of outer space to their hometown.

Breakthrough(突破) or bad science
It's long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine（疫苗）before birth to prevent them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing（基因编辑）is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some controversy（争议）.
In an online video posted on Nov. 26, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.
The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from being infected（感染）by the HIV virus.
He said he chose to do this because HIV is widely spread in China. “I feel such a strong responsibility not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” He told AP. But his actions raised many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical（道德的）to use it on humans.
Some believe that gene editing could be good for HIV patients. HIV is “a major and growing public health threat（威胁）,” according to Harvard Medical School genetics professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “justifiable（无可厚非）,” Church told AP. However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental stages and could result in problems later in life, including the development of cancer, Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News. Besides, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China has worked with other departments to investigate(调查) his project. In an open letter released on Nov. 27, 140 Chinese HIV/AIDS researchers described the research as “unethical”. They questioned the need for his project.
Others fear that some wealthy people might use gene editing technology to make “designer babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye color to their intelligence.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky,director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
6. What do we know about He Jiankui
A.He was the first person to edit genes. B.He infected twins with HIV when he edited their genes.
C.He made the world’s first genetically edited babies. D.He was the first person whose genes were edited.
7.Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful for HIV patients
A.George Church. B. Julian Savulescu. C. Marcy Darnovsky. D. Chinese researchers.
8. Julian Savulescu said gene editing .
A.can cure diseases B.may cause unexpected mutations(突变)
C.will raise ethical questions D.may lead to greater inequality(不平等)
9. According to the story, we know that gene editing is .
A.good for everyone B.good for wealthy people C.still controversial D.justifiable to use

Scientists think that there has been life on the Earth for hundreds of millions of years.However, we
have not found life on any other planet yet.
The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment like that of the Earth, so scientists think there may be no life on them. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system (太阳系), and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way(银河系). There are many, many stars in the Galaxy, and our Sun is only one of them.
Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe (宇宙). They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe It is impossible to imagine.
Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space Have there been visitors to the Earth from other planets Why has no one communicated with us We do not know the answers yet.
Planets in our solar system There are 1 planets going around the Sun in our solar system.
Life on the planet No life has been found on other planets 2 the Earth in the solar system because they have a 3 environment from that on the Earth.
The solar system It is a small part of the Galaxy and the 4 is only one star in it.
Galaxies Besides our galaxy, many other galaxies in the universe have been 5 . But they are very far away from us and it 6 many years for their light to reach us.
The universe It is 7 large to imagine.
Spaceships Spaceships have been sent to take photos of the planet 8 and outside the solar system But other stars in our Galaxy are so far that no spaceships can 9 to them.
Questions There are many questions about the universe and life in space,but no one can 10 them yet.

七、首字母填空。（共10小题，每空1分，共10分）
We have always been interested in the Moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it m 1 around the Earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it c 2 in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the Moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the Moon was made of r 3 . Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from those on the Earth. This was because they believed the Moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the Earth’s g 4 millions of years earlier.
In 1969, Moon rocks were finally brought to the Earth and s 5 . Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the s 6 things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think t 7 the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion (十亿) years ago, something about the size of Mars h 8 the Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our p 9 . These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the Moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the Moon may change again, we will still be i 10 in it.

Life on Mars
In the future, our planet will be more and more crowded and polluted. Maybe we can live on Mars. Here is a guide to living on Mars.
We can travel to Mars in spacecraft which travel at the speed of light. With the development of science, plants can produce food, oxygen and water on Mars. The gravity on Mars is only three-eighths of that on the Earth, so we should wear special boots to make ourselves heavier. People have more space and time to relax. Life is really good in many ways. But there are also some disadvantages. For example, the food will not be very tasty, and the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

Scientists think that there has been life on the Earth for hundreds of millions of years.However, we
have not found life on any other planet yet.
The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment like that of the Earth, so scientists think there may be no life on them. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system (太阳系), and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way(银河系). There are many, many stars in the Galaxy, and our Sun is only one of them.
Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe (宇宙). They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe It is impossible to imagine.
Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space Have there been visitors to the Earth from other planets Why has no one communicated with us We do not know the answers yet.
Planets in our solar system There are 1 planets going around the Sun in our solar system.
Life on the planet No life has been found on other planets 2 the Earth in the solar system because they have a 3 environment from that on the Earth.
The solar system It is a small part of the Galaxy and the 4 is only one star in it.
Galaxies Besides our galaxy, many other galaxies in the universe have been 5 . But they are very far away from us and it 6 many years for their light to reach us.
The universe It is 7 large to imagine.
Spaceships Spaceships have been sent to take photos of the planet 8 and outside the solar system But other stars in our Galaxy are so far that no spaceships can 9 to them.
Questions There are many questions about the universe and life in space,but no one can 10 them yet.

We have always been interested in the Moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it m 1 around the Earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it c 2 in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the Moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the Moon was made of r 3 . Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from those on the Earth. This was because they believed the Moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the Earth’s g 4 millions of years earlier.
In 1969, Moon rocks were finally brought to the Earth and s 5 . Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the s 6 things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think t 7 the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion (十亿) years ago, something about the size of Mars h 8 the Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our p 9 . These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the Moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the Moon may change again, we will still be i 10 in it.

Life on Mars
In the future, our planet will be more and more crowded and polluted. Maybe we can live on Mars. Here is a guide to living on Mars.
We can travel to Mars in spacecraft which travel at the speed of light. With the development of science, plants can produce food, oxygen and water on Mars. The gravity on Mars is only three-eighths of that on the Earth, so we should wear special boots to make ourselves heavier. People have more space and time to relax. Life is really good in many ways. But there are also some disadvantages. For example, the food will not be very tasty, and the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
