答案与解析
答案：known
解析：考查词汇转换（过去分词作定语）。逻辑主语“China's Space Station”与“know”为被动关系，“be known as”为固定搭配，意为“被称为”，此处省略be动词，用过去分词作后置定语，属于词汇转换中动词变过去分词的用法。
2. 答案：Completed
解析：考查词汇转换（过去分词作状语）。逻辑主语“it”（指代中国空间站）与“complete”为被动关系，完整句子应为“When it was completed in 2022”，省略从句引导词、主语和be动词，用过去分词作时间状语，符合词汇转换的被动用法规则。
3. 答案：to support
解析：考查不定式。固定搭配“be designed to do sth.”，意为“被设计用于做某事”，不定式作目的状语，此处表示“空间站被设计用于支持长期载人任务和科学实验”。
4. 答案：carrying
解析：考查词汇转换（现在分词作伴随状语）。逻辑主语“astronauts”与“carry”为主动关系，“开展研究”与“生活和工作”为并列伴随动作，用现在分词carrying，属于词汇转换中动词变现在分词的用法。
5. 答案：To ensure
解析：考查不定式。此处用不定式作目的状语，意为“为了确保机组人员的安全”，不定式符号to表目的，符合不定式作目的状语的核心规则。
6. 答案：as
解析：考查介词。固定搭配“serve as”，意为“充当、作为”，此处表示“空间站作为国际合作的平台”，as表“作为”，符合固定搭配要求。
7. 答案：promote
解析：考查不定式。固定搭配“help (to) do sth.”，意为“帮助做某事”，不定式符号to可省略，故用动词原形promote，此处为不定式的省略用法。
8. 答案：construction
解析：考查词汇转换（名词）。空格前为形容词性物主代词its，需接名词作主语，故将动词construct变为名词construction（不可数名词），符合“形容词性物主代词+名词”的语法规则。
9. 答案：Exploring
解析：考查词汇转换（动名词作主语）。空格处作句子主语，需用动名词形式，故将动词explore变为动名词Exploring，符合“动名词作主语”的语法规则。
10. 答案：the
解析：考查冠词。“future of China's space exploration”后接定语修饰，表特指“中国太空探索的未来”，故用定冠词the限定范围，符合定冠词表特指的用法。
解题步骤总结
① 通读全文，把握语篇主旨（中国空间站的建设成就与价值），判断文章时态（一般现在时为主，客观介绍空间站现状）；
② 区分空格类型：有提示词优先判断词汇转换（动词变分词、名词等）；无提示词优先考虑冠词、介词、不定式；
③ 针对不定式考点：重点关注固定搭配（如be designed to do sth.）和目的状语特征（to+动词原形表目的）；
④ 结合固定搭配与语境验证答案（如serve as、help (to) do sth.）；
⑤ 复读全文，检查语法正确性、语义连贯性及考点覆盖完整性。
语法知识点拓展
1. 不定式的高频用法：
① 作目的状语：用to+动词原形，可置于句首或句中，句首常用逗号隔开（如本文第5空To ensure...）；
② 固定搭配中的用法：常见搭配有be designed to do sth.、help (to) do sth.、plan to do sth.等，部分搭配中to可省略；
③ 作主语：常用it作形式主语，真正主语后置（如It is important to explore the universe），本文第9空直接用动名词作主语，与不定式作主语功能一致。
2. 冠词的高频用法辨析：
① 定冠词the：用于特指（后接定语修饰、双方共知的事物等），如the future of China's space exploration；
② 不定冠词a/an：用于可数名词单数前表泛指，a接辅音音素开头的单词，an接元音音素开头的单词（如a platform, an experiment）。
3. 词汇转换的核心类型：
① 动词变名词：如construct→construction、explore→exploration，常需注意词性变化后的拼写规则；
② 动词变分词：主动关系用现在分词（如carry→carrying），被动关系用过去分词（如know→known）；
③ 动词变动名词：动名词可作主语、宾语等（如explore→Exploring作主语）。
