Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Should humans explore space If you ask me, I'll definitely give a positive answer.
The exploration of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world.Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide.The navigation system can identify our location anywhere.Furthermore, weather satellites can predict harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.
Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger.For example, large pieces of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies.The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite.It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts.It can then send this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.
Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings.Rural (乡村的) communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap.With the development of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world through video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms.
Space exploration is something we can do for future generations.Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day.Overpopulation can be a threat for all mankind.With the development of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids (小行星) or other planets.
For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.

The success of Blue Origin's space tourism flights has caused concerns among the public.Many say it is a rich person's game that is unnecessary when Earth badly needs help.
For Jane Smith, co-founder of Space View, the industry is not preventing Earth from help, but helping its residents better understand their world.
“Space exploration has played an important role in forming our understanding of our planet，” Smith said in an interview.“The most downloaded image in history is Earthrise that was taken in 1968 by Apollo astronauts as they circled the moon.Taking the photo was not on their schedule of activities but they were so struck by the scene that they rushed to record it.That one photograph helped humanity see Earth as a planet in space, and inspired an environmental movement.”
Space View, founded in 2019, is a firm using a giant balloon to send humans into the stratosphere (平流层)．It is designing a luxurious capsule (豪华太空舱) that fits six passengers, who can relax in seats or enjoy a snack while flying 20 miles above Earth.
Smith explained that eventually, millions of people will have exciting space experience.Tickets for a ride through Space View currently run $125,000 a seat, but Smith said the “long-term vision is to bring the price down significantly”．“A ticket price of, say, $30,000－$40,000 would make the space trip affordable to many millions of people，” she added.
When asked about the public comments, Smith answered, “When people visit space and experience our Earth from that fantastic point, they connect deeply with our planet and the singular human family that inhabits it.It broadens their perspective (视角) and they return with a deepened understanding of social and environmental causes.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了“蓝色起源”太空旅游项目的成功，许多人认为这是富人的游戏，但其目标是使太空旅游大众化。
5．What do the public think of Blue Origin's space tourism flights

8．选A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了蓝色起源太空旅游项目的成功，许多人认为这是富人的游戏，但其目标是使太空旅游大众化。由此可知，选项A“太空旅游是富人的游戏吗？”是本文的最佳标题。
Ⅱ.完形填空
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了除地球外的其他“系外行星”，并介绍了人类为了寻找与地球相似的行星所做出的努力。
9．选A 人类花了数千年的时间才了解了我们自己的星球，并花了数百年的时间探索我们邻近的星球。explore“探索”。
10．选B 根据句中“new worlds”可知，随着人类的不断探索，应该是有新的世界被发现。
11．选C 根据下文“hot Saturn”和“hot Jupiter”可知，下文介绍的是其他“系外行星”。由此可知，句中指天文学家已经识别(recognized)了370多颗“系外行星”。
12．选D 根据句中“a year there lasts less than three days”可知，在那里一年的持续时间不到三天。由此可知，“热土星”绕其母星运行的速度很快(rapidly)。
13．选B 环绕 (Circling)150光年外的另一颗恒星移动的是一颗燃烧的“热木星”，在那里上层大气正在燃烧，形成一个巨大的彗星状尾巴。
14．选C 根据上文“exoplanets”可知，本段内容介绍的是“系外行星”。由此可知，句中指另外三颗围绕脉冲星运行的行星。
15．选D 根据句中“a once huge star”中的“huge”可知，这里介绍的是恒星的大小。由此可知，句中指“缩小成一个城市大小的小原子核”。
16．选C 根据句中“become ‘floaters’ that float in the darkness of the universe”可知，其他行星成为漂浮在宇宙黑暗中的“漂浮者”。由此可知，它们是被赶出了它们所在的系统。
17．选A 在所有这些中，科学家们渴望找到一条熟悉的(familiar)线索：像地球这样的行星。
18．选D 根据句中“neither too hot nor too cold”可知，“既不太热也不太冷”的条件下应该是可以支持(support)人类生存的。
19．选C 我们还没有发现与我们自己的行星非常相似的行星，可能(probably)是因为它们不起眼。
20．选A 根据句中“a firefly in a fireworks display”中的“firefly”可知，在烟花表演中的萤火虫是小的，不容易看到。由此可知，句中指又小又细的行星，在明亮的星光中是不起眼的。
21．选B 然而，通过将技术推向极限，天文学家正在迅速接近找到另一个地球的那一天。上下文为转折关系。
22．选A 根据句意和生活常识可知，应该是随着技术的发展，天文学家有可能找到另一个地球。由此可知，句中指将技术推向极限(limits)。
23．选D 根据上文内容可知，天文学家正在寻找与地球相似的星球。由此可知，他们要检查那些星球是否有生命迹象(signs)。
