It is a small step for a plant, and a giant leap for the plant. A sprouting(发芽) cotton seed on China's Chang'e-4 lunar lander is the first plant ever to grow in another world, indicating a new era for life in space.
Seeds, including cotton, Arabidopsis thaliana(拟南芥), oilseed rape(油菜) and potato, were carried to the Moon as a part of biological experiment, along with fruit fly eggs and some yeasts(酵母).
Pictures sent back by the probe show the cotton seeds sprouting on January 5, 2019, two days after Chang'e-4 landed on the far side of the Moon.
The organisms(生物) are in a sealed can, protected from the extreme temperatures and radiation on the surface. “Understanding how to grow plants in space will help lay the foundation for human settlement on the Moon,” a scientist leading the experiment told the South China Morning Post.
The six organisms are intended to form a mini-ecosystem, with the plants making oxygen and food to sustain the fruit flies. Yeasts could process the fruit flies' waste and dead plants to provide another food source.
In a future human settlement, potatoes could provide food, rapeseeds could be a source of oil and cotton could be used for clothing. A study in 2014 reported that plants could sprout and grow in lunar soil for 50 days without any additional nutrients(营养物). Over longer periods, human waste could help support plants' nutritional needs.
1.When might Chang'e-4 land on the far side of the Moon
A.On January 3, 2019. B.On January 5, 2019.
C.On January 7, 2019. D.On January 5, 2014.
2.What is the benefit of growing plants on the Moon
A.It helps support plants' nutritional needs in space.
B.It helps people living on the Moon feed themselves.
C.It helps scientists understand the ecosystem in space.
D.It helps set the basis for establishing settlements on the Moon.
3.What can we learn from the passage
A.Oxygen created by plants provides a food source.
B.The purpose of these organisms is to form a small ecosystem.
C.The yeast hardly plays a role in dealing with the fruit flies' waste.
D.The organisms can resist extreme heat and cold in the environment.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A.Flying to the Moon B.Living on the Moon
C.Garden on the Moon's Far Side D.Human Settlement on the Moon's Far Side

(2024河南多校期中联考)
Researchers say new evidence suggests Mimas(土卫一), the icy moon of Saturn(土星), likely has a large underground ocean. Researchers based their findings on data collected by the American space agency NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Cassini observed Saturn and its more than 140 moons for more than 10 years before ending operation in 2017.
Researchers report the data provides the best evidence yet of a hidden ocean about 20 to 30 kilometers beneath the frozen surface.
Mimas is a relatively small moon, about 400 kilometers wide. Researchers say Mimas doesn't have formations(构造) on its surface found on other moons, which suggests the presence of underground water. These can include a broken surface as well as spring activity.
The amount of water thought to exist below the surface of Mimas would represent just 1.2 to 1.4 percent of Earth's oceans. That is because the moon is very small.
However, Mimas does have a very large crater caused by a crash with a space object. The edges of it are raised very high. For this reason, the appearance of the moon has been compared to the fictional “Death Star” space station in the popular movie series Star Wars.
Researchers say the underground ocean appears to have formed recently in space terms, possibly between 5 and 15 million years ago. The ocean would likely have an overall temperature of around zero degrees Celsius. But the temperature at the seafloor might be much higher.
The water is in contact with the moon's rocky center, which may create the right complex(复杂的) chemical conditions to support life. But researchers note that because the ocean is believed to be young, it might be a challenge for life's development.
However, nobody knows how long life needs to appear from a suitable environment. The ocean on Mimas may offer a unique opportunity to explore the first stage of life's development.
Scientists have said that in the past another moon of Saturn, Enceladus(土卫二), might possess the warmth, water and chemical materials necessary to support life.
5.What indicates there is water on Mimas
A.Its small size. B.Its turning speed.
C.Its unusual surface. D.Its position in space.
6.What does the underlined word “crater” mean in paragraph 5
A.Hole. B.Land. C.River. D.Mountain.
7.Why is it difficult for life to develop on Mimas
A.It has no atmosphere around. B.Its ocean bottom is too warm.
C.The water of its ocean is salty. D.Its ocean hasn't existed long enough.
8.What might the underground ocean help researchers do
A.Explore the oceans on Earth. B.Study the formation of early life.
C.Look for useful chemical materials. D.Search for a possible human habitat.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。中国的“嫦娥四号”着陆器携带植物种子在月球上进行种植试验,最终棉花种子成功发芽。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第三段“Pictures sent back by the probe show the cotton seeds sprouting on January 5, 2019, two days after Chang'e-4 landed on the far side of the Moon.”可推测,“嫦娥四号”在月球背面着陆的时间应该是2019年1月3日。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Understanding how to grow plants in space will help lay the foundation for human settlement on the Moon”可知,了解如何在太空中种植植物将有助于为人类在月球上定居奠定基础。故选D。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The six organisms are intended to form a mini-ecosystem, with the plants making oxygen and food to sustain the fruit flies.”可知,这些生物的目的是形成一个小的生态系统。故选B。
4.C 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中的“A sprouting cotton seed on China's Chang'e-4 lunar lander is the first plant ever to grow in another world, indicating a new era for life in space.”可知,本文主要介绍了“嫦娥四号”月球着陆器上的植物的生长情况。C项“月球背面的菜园”符合文章主旨,最适合作为文章的标题。故选C。

6.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“caused by a crash with a space object”并结合常识和选项可推测,画线词crater指的是太空物体撞击形成的坑,与A项的意思相同。故选A。
7.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“But researchers note that because the ocean is believed to be young, it might be a challenge for life's development.”可知,生命很难在土卫一上发展是因为它的海洋存在的时间不够长。故选D。
8.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The ocean on Mimas may offer a unique opportunity to explore the first stage of life's development.”可知,土卫一上的地下海洋或许可以帮助研究人员研究早期生命的形成。故选B。

长难句
原句 Researchers say Mimas doesn't have formations on its surface found on other moons, which suggests the presence of underground water.
分析 本句为主从复合句。say后面为省略了连词that的宾语从句;过去分词短语“found on other moons”作后置定语,修饰formations;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句。
译文 研究人员表示,土卫一表面没有其他卫星上发现的构造,这表明其存在地下水。
