Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2024·广州高一检测)
Humans have been living and working on the space station for over 20 years.Their meals are packaged, though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions.The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample (品尝) each one.The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first chili peppers (辣椒) grown in space.The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants.After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients.Pepper plants self-pollinate (自花授粉), so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn't have to be cooked.They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite.Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals.And growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing—as well as smelling and caring for—leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health，” said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment.“We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”

语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了嫦娥5号飞船的登月情况和任务。
解析：
1．carrying 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，carry与其逻辑主语A Long March-5 rocket之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。故用现在分词形式。
2．which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知，这里是非限制性定语从句，先行词是整个主句的内容，在从句中作主语，应用which引导。
3．announced 考查时态。根据上文的entered可知，要用一般过去时。故填announced。
4．the 考查冠词。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里需用定冠词the限定后面被on the probe修饰的名词engine，表示特指。
5．of 考查介词。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查介词，表示所属关系“……的”意思。故填of。
6．successfully 考查副词。修饰动词entered应用副词。
7．is made 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知，make与其逻辑主语Chang'e-5之间是被动关系，且叙述的是一般事实，主语是先行词Chang'e-5，故谓语动词用单数形式。故填is made。
8．corrections 考查名词复数。前面有two修饰，correction是可数名词，所以这里需用名词的复数形式。
9．expected 考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构和意思可知，expect和被修饰词goals是被动关系。故这里用过去分词作定语。
10．to collect 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处为动词不定式作目的状语。

Space Explorations: Yes or No
参考范文：
Space Explorations: Yes or No
We had an argument over whether it is necessary to carry out outer space explorations at a class meeting.
Some of us feel it important to research the outer space.Firstly, people can get a better and newer understanding of the outer space through space explorations.Secondly, these explorations can possibly bring new living space for human life.
However, others think very differently.They say this kind of exploration is much too costly.Besides, it is very dangerous for astronauts to do such work.
From my point of view, people should be pioneering and therefore such explorations into outer space are worth trying out.
