Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了现在很多富豪都热衷于太空旅行,而且很多大型公司都在努力实现它。但是现在太空旅行还不太现实,一是因为它会耗费太多的成本,二是因为安全问题。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段“On July 11th Virgin Galactic (维珍银河) finally realized the promise that it would take passengers on life-changing trips in its spaceships.”和“He may have been pleased to beat Jeff Bezos…”以及第二段第一句话“The two are among a growing group of fans who believe space travel’s time has come.”可推知,第一段提到Sir Richard Branson和Jeff Bezos是为了说明他们两个都是太空旅行的爱好者,从而引出文章的主题——太空旅行。故选B项。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Those at Morgan Stanley expect the entire space economy to bring in $1 trillion by 2040, from $350 billion today.”可知,Morgan Stanley公司预计,到2040年,整个太空经济将从目前的3500亿美元增加到1万亿美元。由此推知,太空经济是蓬勃发展的,因此boomed是“提高,发展”之意。故选A项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“The company is focusing on developing a large new rocket for launching satellites, on selling advanced rocket engines to other companies and on winning NASA contracts such as that for a system to land humans on the Moon.”可知,Blue Origin公司主要关注的是向其他公司出售先进的火箭引擎。故选C项。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第四段“…space travel, with its far higher ticket prices, will not be a huger earner.”以及第五段第一句话“Another challenge—also the biggest uncertainty—relates to safety.”可知,现在太空旅行最大的问题是安全问题,另外太空旅行价格昂贵,所以目前它没有广阔的市场。故选C项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宇航员在外太空的日常生活。
1.E E项“Some, such as dried pears, taste good right out of the packet.”承接上文“So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.”,举例说明了一种脱水太空食物,与上文构成顺承关系,其中dried pears, packet与上文内容照应。故选E项。
2.B 上文“On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate.”讲地球引力让食物待在盘子里,下文“To keep food from floating(漂浮) away, astronauts on the space shuttle attach the packets to a special tray(托盘).” 说在太空中宇航员要用特殊托盘来防止食物飞走,上下文有转折关系,B 项“But there’s no gravity in space.”(但是在太空中没有重力。)说明原因,承上启下。故选B项。
3.A 根据句中连词so可知上下文有因果关系,A项“Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though.”是下文“So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(吸管) that can be closed.”的原因。故选A项。
4.F F项“Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.”是对上文“Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑).”提到的宇航员不吃面包的进一步解释,选项中的crumbs与上文照应。故选F项。
5.G 上文“The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away.”讲的是卫生间的设施,G项“A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.”(用一股强劲的气流代替水将排泄物冲下厕所。)承接上文,选项中的toilet与上文照应。故选G项。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。中国下一代载人火箭预计将在2027年左右首飞,这枚尚未命名的新型火箭是中国载人登月计划的重要组成部分。
1.its 考查代词。修饰名词flight,应用形容词性物主代词its,在句中作定语。故填its。
2.on 考查介词。place…on the moon “把……放在月球上”。故填on。
3.which 考查定语从句。此句是非限制性定语从句,先行词为整个主句,且从句缺主语,用关系代词which引导。故填which。
4.biggest 考查形容词最高级。根据句意和定冠词the可知,应填形容词big的最高级形式biggest,表示“最大的”。故填biggest。
5.weighing 考查非谓语动词。空处作后置定语, 被修饰名词spaceship与weigh之间是主动关系,用现在分词weighing。故填weighing。
6.will be carried 考查时态和语态。空处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,that指代先行词spaceflights,描述将要发生的动作,应用一般将来时,动词carry与其逻辑主语spaceflights是被动关系,应用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be carried。
7.that/which 考查定语从句。此句是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词rocket,先行词为物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
8.materials 考查名词复数。此处泛指“材料、物资”,用复数materials。故填materials。
9.to land 考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式作后置定语修饰plan,表示“做某事的计划”。故填to land。
10.and 考查连词。hope后有三个动词不定式作宾语,即to carry out…,(to) develop…和(to) strengthen…,空处应填连词and表示并列。故填and。Period Two Reading and Thinking

【自我归纳】
上述句子中,1/2/4是不定式作 ;3是不定式作 。
【语法详解】
动词不定式由“to+动词原形”构成。to是不定式标志,无意义,有时可省略。其否定形式为“not to+动词原形”。这里重点讲解动词不定式作定语和状语的用法。
1.动词不定式作定语
(1)动词不定式作定语,常放在被修饰的名词后面作后置定语,表示尚未发生的动作。
I have an important meeting to attend.
我有一个重要的会议要参加。
(2)名词被形容词最高级、序数词或all, any, no, only等限定词限定,且不定式里的动词与名词为主动关系,后接不定式(短语)作定语。
She was the first woman to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games. 她是第一位在奥运会上获得金牌的女性。
(3)常用在抽象名词attempt,ability,belief,chance,decision,desire,effort,determination,means,plan,promise,right,time,way,wish或不定代词something, nothing等后面作后置定语。
Women have no right to vote and to be voted in that country. 在那个国家,女性没有选举权和被选举权。
(4)不定式里的动词与被修饰的词有动宾关系,且句中有该不定式的逻辑主语时,该不定式通常用主动形式表被动意义;若是不及物动词,其后还要加上适当的介词。
The manager is particular about the paper to write on. 经理对写字的纸很挑剔。
2.动词不定式作状语
动词不定式作状语可表示目的、结果及原因等,其逻辑主语是句子的主语,故常用主动形式。
(1)表目的:也可用于so as to和in order to之后表示强调。
In ancient China, food was stored with ice to keep fresh. 在中国古代,食物为了保鲜同冰一起贮存。
(2)表结果:常用于enough to, so…as to, such…as to, only to以及too…to等结构中。
I’m not such a fool as to believe him.
我还不至于傻到相信他。
注意:不定式短语表示结果时,常与only 连用,暗示一种意外的结果。
He hurried to the railway station, only to find the train had left.
他急匆匆赶到火车站,结果却发现火车已经开走了。
(3)表原因:常用于表示情绪和心理活动的形容词之后。
I feel greatly honoured to be invited to attend this party. 被邀请参加这次聚会,我感到十分荣幸。
(4)用在“be+性质形容词+不定式”结构中。常见的形容词有:comfortable,dangerous,difficult,easy,fit,good,hard,heavy,interesting,impossible,light,pleasant,safe等。
This sofa is very comfortable to sit on.
这个沙发坐起来很舒适。

Unit 5 THE VALUE OF MONEY
主题语境——人与社会之文学、艺术与体育
[导读] 不同的人对金钱有不同的态度。金钱对我们所有人来说都是必要的,但它并不是我们的全部。
On money
Different people have different attitudes towards money. For example, some of the rich are very mean with money, while some of them are quite generous. Some people lack money but they are not absorbed in the pursuit of wealth, while some people regard money as everything. As far as I am concerned, money is necessary for all of us, but it is not all for us.
For one thing, money is necessary for all of us. In modern society, money is one of the tools for measuring the value and can be used to exchange materials. All materials we need for our basic existence are all about money. Without money, our existence will be threatened and we cannot find our way to live. Therefore, all of us need to earn money to afford our basic needs, such as food, clothes and houses.
For another, money is not all for us. Though money can be used to exchange materials for our basic needs, it is not almighty. For example, we cannot use money to buy real love or happiness. Hence, just as Francis Bacon said, “Money is a good servant and a bad master.” We cannot be controlled by money so that we will not be a pathetic slave of money.
In short, we need money but we should not regard money as our only purpose. Only by holding this attitude can we use our money properly.
【主题词句背诵】
1.an attitude towards 对……的态度
2.be mean with 对……吝啬

[2024·河南郑州十校高一期中联考]
On July 11th Virgin Galactic (维珍银河) finally realized the promise that it would take passengers on life-changing trips in its spaceships. For 4 minutes, its 6 temporarily weightless passengers, including the firm’s co-founder, Sir Richard Branson, saw the planet’s curvature (曲度) against the blackness of outer space. He may have been pleased to beat Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s retired boss, who would go slightly higher for slightly less time in a vehicle built by his own company, Blue Origin, on July 20th.
The two are among a growing group of fans who believe space travel’s time has come. Suborbital (亚轨道的) tourism is part of a broader space economy that has boomed over the past decade thanks to technological advances. Those at Morgan Stanley expect the entire space economy to bring in $1 trillion by 2040, from $350 billion today. UBS expects the entire space economy to produce $800 billion by the end of this decade. Space travel, it thinks, will make “a big contribution” to that total.
But that is highly unlikely. For example, space travel is not even Blue Origin’s main goal. The company is focusing on developing a large new rocket for launching satellites, on selling advanced rocket engines to other companies and on winning NASA contracts such as that for a system to land humans on the Moon. In the long run, Mr Bezos doesn’t see Blue Origin as a provider of services to thrill-seekers.
The business can be promising once regular flights begin to offset (抵消) the rockets’ development costs. But how fast and by how much is uncertain. Without tourist-friendly places to visit, space travel, with its far higher ticket prices, will not be a huger earner.
Another challenge—also the biggest uncertainty—relates to safety. History has shown that a disaster can set progress back by years. Even with no accidents, problems may come up. Strict top-down rules could mean that industry will no longer have the freedom to pursue new approaches to improving safety.
Space travel may remain a hobby for a few super-rich with a desire to take risks and lots of time to spare. Not exactly a mass market, then, for the time being.
( )1.Why is the event of Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos mentioned
A.To describe a debate between them.
B.To introduce the topic of space travel.
C.To prove Virgin Galactic’s development.
D.To draw our attention to the two super-rich.
( )2.The underlined word “boomed” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A.increased B.recovered
C.slowed D.weakened
( )3.What does Blue Origin mainly focus on
A.Providing a journey for the super-rich to fly in space.
B.Improving the safety of space travel.
C.Selling facilities to other companies.
D.Developing the most advanced satellites.
( )4.Why is space travel not a mass market now
A.Super-rich people are unwilling to pay for it.
B.There are too many travel places to choose from.
C.Problems of safety and costs remain to be solved.
D.Only the super-rich are allowed by the strict rules.
●Ⅵ 阅读七选五
Going to outer space is a little like going camping. Food with all the water dried out is light and doesn’t spoil (变坏). So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets. 1.
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. 2. To keep food from floating (漂浮) away, astronauts on the space shuttle attach the packets to a special tray (托盘). The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose.
3. So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw (吸管) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.
Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth. Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs (碎屑). 4. Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too.
During take-off and landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers (尿布) under their spacesuits instead. The space shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. 5.
A.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though.
B.But there’s no gravity in space.
C.In outer space, everything seems to be different.
D.Rubbish from daily life cannot be thrown everywhere.
E.Some, such as dried pears, taste good right out of the packet.
F.Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.
G.A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.

[2024·河南郑州十校高一期中联考]
On July 11th Virgin Galactic (维珍银河) finally realized the
promise that it would take passengers on life-changing trips in
its spaceships. For 4 minutes, its 6 temporarily weightless
passengers, including the firm's co-founder, Sir Richard Branson,
saw the planet's curvature (曲度) against the blackness of outer
space. He may have been pleased to beat Jeff Bezos, Amazon's

retired boss, who would go slightly higher for slightly less time
in a vehicle built by his own company, Blue Origin, on July 20th.
The two are among a growing group of fans who believe
space travel's time has come. Suborbital (亚轨道的) tourism is
part of a broader space economy that has boomed over the
past decade thanks to technological advances. Those at Morgan
Stanley expect the entire space economy to bring in $1 trillion
by 2040, from $350 billion today. UBS expects the entire space
economy to produce $800 billion by the end of this decade.

Space travel, it thinks, will make “a big contribution” to that
total.
But that is highly unlikely. For example, space travel is not
even Blue Origin's main goal. The company is focusing on
developing a large new rocket for launching satellites, on selling
advanced rocket engines to other companies and on winning
NASA contracts such as that for a system to land humans on
the Moon. In the long run, Mr Bezos doesn't see Blue Origin as
a provider of services to thrill-seekers.

The business can be promising once regular flights begin to
offset (抵消) the rockets' development costs. But how fast and
by how much is uncertain. Without tourist-friendly places to visit,
space travel, with its far higher ticket prices, will not be a huger
earner.
Another challenge—also the biggest uncertainty—relates to
safety. History has shown that a disaster can set progress back
by years. Even with no accidents, problems may come up. Strict
top-down rules could mean that industry will no longer have
the freedom to pursue new approaches to improving safety.

[解析] 推理判断题。根据第一段“On July 11th Virgin Galactic
(维珍银河) finally realized the promise that it would take
passengers on life-changing trips in its spaceships.”和“He may
have been pleased to beat Jeff Bezos…”以及第二段第一句话“The
two are among a growing group of fans who believe space
travel's time has come.”可推知,第一段提到Sir Richard Branson和
Jeff Bezos是为了说明他们两个都是太空旅行的爱好者,从而引出文
章的主题——太空旅行。故选B项。

( ) 2.The underlined word “boomed” in Paragraph 2
probably means________.
A.increased B.recovered C.slowed D.weakened
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Those at Morgan Stanley
expect the entire space economy to bring in $1 trillion by 2040,
from $350 billion today.”可知,Morgan Stanley公司预计,到
2040年,整个太空经济将从目前的3500亿美元增加到1万亿美元。由
此推知,太空经济是蓬勃发展的,因此boomed是“提高,发展”之意。
故选A项。

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第三段“The company is focusing on

( ) 4.Why is space travel not a mass market now
A.Super-rich people are unwilling to pay for it.
B.There are too many travel places to choose from.
C.Problems of safety and costs remain to be solved.
D.Only the super-rich are allowed by the strict rules.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第四段“…space travel, with its far
higher ticket prices, will not be a huger earner.”以及第五段第
一句话“Another challenge—also the biggest uncertainty—relates
to safety.”可知,现在太空旅行最大的问题是安全问题,另外太空旅
行价格昂贵,所以目前它没有广阔的市场。故选C项。

Going to outer space is a little like going camping. Food
with all the water dried out is light and doesn't spoil (变坏). So,
many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special
packets. 1.___
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the

The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut's lap. To
prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and
