课时数智作业(三十八)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2024·安徽合肥三模)
Scientist Erika Nesvold once asked a company aiming to mine the moon how he planned to address risks that mining equipment might carry microbes from Earth and pollute the moon.The response:“We'll worry about that later.”
“Space settlement advocates often advertise space as a wonderland where we can build ideal societies free from the crowded territory and bloodied history of our earth,”Nesvold argues in her new book,Off-Earth.“But adopting a‘worry about it later'attitude ...strikes me as a path to repeating the tragedies of that history through ignorance.”
Off-Earth is based on Making New Worlds,her 2017 podcast (播客) which asked ethical (伦理的) questions about space settlement.The book takes some of the same questions and expands on them.Each chapter title is a question:“Why are we going?”“Who's in charge?”“What if I get sick?”
Most chapters start with three vignettes(片段),usually from different time periods.A chapter outlining debates over whether to settle space at all starts by asking the reader to imagine being in the 1600s and deciding to uproot your family and head to the New World.A chapter on how land usage and ownership rights might work in space imagines a person recently freed from slavery in the U.S.South in 1865 and worrying that the new president will take back the land they finally own.The third vignette is usually set in the year 2100,on a space settlement.
Then Nesvold examines how various ethical situations related to the chapter's theme might play out in space.She quotes experts in fields that don't often come up in space science:ethics,philosophy,law etc.This approach is a departure from many books about the future of life on the final frontier,forcing readers to face hard realities and possible points of conflicts.
Brilliant and inspiring,Off-Earth will not only challenge your assumptions about future worlds,but will change your understanding of the values and desires that shape the world today.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Off-Earth的一些具体情况。
√
1.What does Nesvold think of the“worry about it later”attitude?
( )
A.It leads to potential disasters.
B.It's a responsible mindset.
C.It's deeply rooted in our history.
D.It helps build ideal societies in space.
A [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But adopting a‘worry about it later'attitude ...strikes me as a path to repeating the tragedies of that history through ignorance.”可知,Nesvold认为这种态度会导致历史悲剧的重演,导致潜在的灾难。故选A。]
√
2.What can be known about the book Off-Earth?( )
A.It's categorized as an ethical novel.
B.It features quotes from space experts.
C.It's an extension of her 2017 podcast.
D.It begins each chapter with a question.
C [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The book takes some of the same questions and expands on them.”可知,Off-Earth提出了一些与她2017的播客相同的问题,并对问题进行了延伸,可以推断出Off-Earth是她2017年播客的延伸。故选C。]
√
3.What does Nesvold do to clarify her opinion in Off-Earth?( )
A.She draws on lessons from her own life.
B.She integrates insight across the sciences.
C.She cites current situations for debate.
D.She outlines each chapter with three vignettes.
B [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She quotes experts in fields that don't often come up in space science:ethics,philosophy,law etc.This approach is departure from many books...”可知,她引用了不同领域的专家的研究,故她整合了多个科学领域的洞察力。故选B。]
√
4.What is a best title for the text?( )
A.The Author of Off-Earth Opposes Space Settlement
B.A Commercial Success of a New Release Off-Earth
C.Off-Earth Asks How to Build a Better Future in Space
D.Transformation from Making New Worlds into Off-Earth
C [标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知,这篇文章主要介绍书籍Off-Earth的具体情况,而本书主要关注的就是如何在太空中建立一个更美好的未来,故选C。]

(2025·湖南郴州模拟)
Find the learning style that suits you best
To succeed academically,you need to be productive.To be productive,you need to find a suitable learning style.Whether it's for everyday learning or revising for exams,the learning style that helps you achieve maximum productivity will be crucial. 1 .
Note-taking
Note-taking can include copying out passages of books or summarizing concepts on notecards. 2 The problem with note-taking is that it's all too easy simply to copy out what someone else says without really taking it in.
3 .
Sometimes you might find that you learn things more easily if you have to explain a concept to someone else.This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else,you have to have a thorough grasp of it yourself.For example,giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn.
Learning by doing
This method means,trying to experience things in real life rather than reading things in books. 4 Experiencing things practically gives your brain something concrete to remember,so you will absorb the information more easily.
Tests and mock exams (模拟考试)
5 If you're the sort of person who benefits from these sorts of challenges,you could try asking your teacher,parents or study buddies to set a mock exam to test what you've learned on a particular topic.
A.Explaining to others
B.Diagrams and mind maps
C.If so,visual methods of learning might suit you best.
D.Here are some common learning styles and choose one that suits you best!
E.Some people like them because they provide strong motivation to succeed.
F.It's a classic learning method,but may not be the best way for everyone to learn.
G.For example,you could conduct a scientific experiment or observe how a chemical reaction works.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国计划在大约四年内开始在月球上建造一个月球基地,该计划将以月球土壤制成的砖块作为开端。
1.kicking [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,kick off在句子中不作为谓语动词使用,它和“China plans to start building a lunar base in about four years”之间为主动关系,因此使用动词-ing形式作状语,故填kicking。]
2.a [考查冠词。scientist 为可数名词,leading是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,因此使用不定冠词a,故填a。]
3.would be made [考查时态和语态。make是从句的谓语动词,它和“the first brick”之间为被动关系,并且make的动作发生在told 之后,则用过去将来时的被动语态“would be done”,故填would be made。]
4.which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,“a lander,hopper,orbiter and rover”是先行词,指物,因此使用which引导定语从句,故填which。]
5.whether [考查从属连词。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导主语从句,词义为“是否”,使用连词whether,故填whether。]
6.beyond/outside [考查介词。根据句意的需要可知,此处应该填入介词,表示“在……之外”,可以使用beyond或outside,故填beyond/outside。]
7.strategic [考查词性转换。此处需填入形容词作定语修饰needs,词义为“战略的”,即strategic,故填strategic。]
8.to contain [考查不定式。be believed to do表示“被认为做某事”,故填to contain。]
9.updated [考查非谓语动词。update和timeline之间为被动关系,因此使用过去分词作定语,词义为“最新的”,即updated,故填updated。]
10.and [考查连词。根据“Chang'e 6 will...Chang'e 7 will...Chang'e 8 should...”可知,此处是三个并列的句子,需用并列连词and来连接,故填and。]

It started out as a simple hike in the Utah canyonlands on a warm Saturday afternoon.For Aron Ralston,a twenty-seven-year-old mountaineer and outdoorsman,a walk into the remote Blue John Canyon was a chance to get a break from a winter of solo climbing Colorado's highest and toughest peaks.He'd earned this weekend vacation,and though he met two other climbers along the way,by early afternoon he had finally found himself in his element:alone,with just the beauty of the natural world all around him.
It was 2:41 pm.Eight miles from his truck,in a deep and narrow slot (狭缝) canyon,Aron was climbing down a wedged boulder (巨石) when the rock suddenly came loose.Before he could get out of the way,the falling stone pinned his right hand and wrist against the canyon wall.
And so began 4 days of suffering for Aron Ralston.With little water and food,no jacket for the painfully cold nights,and the terrible knowledge that he'd told no one where he was headed,he found himself facing a lingering death—trapped by an 800-pound boulder 100 feet down in the bottom of a canyon.As he eliminated (淘汰) his escape options one by one through the days,Aron faced the full horror of his situation:By the time any possible search and rescue effort would begin,he'd most probably have died of dehydration (脱水),if a flash flood didn't drown him before that.
What does one do in the face of almost certain death?Using the video camera from his pack,Aron began recording his grateful goodbyes to his family and friends,thinking back over a life filled with adventure,and documenting a last will with the hope that someone would find it.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

【参考范文】
Aron was growing weaker with each passing day. He knew that time was running out.Desperate to survive,he tried every possible means to free himself,but all were in vain,leaving him with nothing but exhaustion and despair.Doubts filled his head as he wondered if anyone would ever find him.But deep down,a spark of hope still burned.Aron refused to accept defeat.With his mind in a fog,he heard a rescue team approaching.Using his remaining energy,he tried to attract their attention.
Luckily,the rescue team found Aron. They were amazed to see he had managed to survive for so long.Though too weak to say a single word,Aron was overjoyed to see them.The rescuers worked tirelessly to free him from under the boulder.It was a difficult task,but they eventually succeeded.Aron was rushed to hospital immediately,where he received treatment for his injuries and expected to make a full recovery.Although he would never forget the horror of those four days,he was grateful to be alive.

B 篇(限时7分钟)
(2024·陕西咸阳三模)
Researchers believe they have found evidence for a hidden ocean on Mimas,one of Saturn's major moons.This makes Mimas a target for learning more about the origins of life in our solar system.
Saturn has 146 moons orbiting it.The biggest is larger than the planet Mercury;the smallest is roughly the size of a sports field on the Earth.Mimas,which was first discovered in 1789,is one of the major moons and is about 250 miles wide.
Experts used to think Mimas was mostly made out of solid ice and rock.In 2014,astronomers noticed its orbit around Saturn was moving unsteadily.A shaky orbit can be caused either by a core shaped like a rugby ball or a huge liquid ocean beneath the surface.At first,lots of astronomers argued against the suggestion that Mimas had an ocean because there is no sign of it on the surface.
To investigate more thoroughly,researchers looked at images taken by Cassini,a NASA spacecraft sent to study Saturn.The images showed that the moon's orbit around Saturn drifted by about six miles over 13 years.The team's calculations found that the only way Mimas could move in this way was that it had a hidden ocean under the surface.They thought the ocean formed when the moon's core warmed up and melted some of the ice.
“The major findings here are that Mimas,which we would never think to have water,might support life,”said Valery Lainey,a writer of the study.“It's really amazing.”
Space agencies want to study these oceans because they might be home to living organisms.However,the ocean on Mimas might not be old enough for life to have emerged there yet.It took hundreds of millions of years for life to develop on the Earth and the ocean on Mimas is relatively young;it is less than 25 million years old.

English businessman Richard Branson made history on July 11,2021 as he and three other crewmates became the world's first space tourists.The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson's company,Virgin Galactic.The flight lasted slightly more than an hour,and took Branson and crew to an altitude (海拔) of 53.5 miles above the Earth,just a little above the boundary (边界) of space which lies 50 miles above the Earth.
At that height,the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue.Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity,the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth's surface.Therefore,Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views.They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey.It landed back at Virgin Galactic's space port in New Mexico,the United States,which was the same place from where it had taken off 90 minutes before.
On landing back,Branson said,“I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly,nothing could prepare you for the view of the Earth from space.It is just magical.I'm just taking it all in,and it's unreal.”
July 11's flight is the start of space tourism for one and all.In the near future,customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars can line up for a seat on a trip to space.And guess what—they will have a choice of spacecraft.Jeff Bezos,who owns a famous company,launched himself into space on July 20 on board a spacecraft built by his new branch company Blue Origin.Blue Origin will also carry tourists to space.
