B
In
2003,
Mary
Marggraff
was
a
47-year-old
California
mother,
devoted
to
school
committees
and
car
pool
schedules.
But
after
losing
her
trusty
notebook
and
buying
a
new
one,
she
had
an
inspiration.
“It
was
blank,”
says
Marggraff,
now
64.
“What
else
could
I
fill
it
with?”
Soon
she
was
thinking
about
her
childhood
love
of
flying,
and
next
thing
she
knew.
She
determined
to
register
in
flight
school.
“In
my
first
class,
all
the
students
were
single
men
half
my
age.
I
felt
like
a
housemother
attending
a
fraternity
(兄弟会),
but
I
loved
it
too
much
to
walk
away,”
she
says.
Marggraff
earned
her
first
pilot’s
licence
in
2005.
Six
years
and
four
additional
licences
later,
her
addiction
to
being
in
the
air
changed
into
something
grander:
a
desire
to
go
to
space.
To
move
closer
to
her
starry
dreams,
Marggraff
got
a
part-time
job
as
a
mission
support
representative
at
Virgin
Galactic,
Richard
Branson’s
commercial
space
line.
In
that
role,
she
attended
space-related
gatherings
where
she
educated
people
about
the
future
of
universe
voyages.
Though
space
tourism
isn’t
quite
a
reality
yet,
Marggraff
has
already
begun
space
training
in
expectation
of
being
on
one
of
Virgin’s
early
flights.
“I’ve
completed
acceleration
force
exercises,”
she
says,
“which
require
getting
inside
a
machine,
spinning
around
at
2,500
miles
per
hour,
and
trying
not
to
black
out.”
Marggraff’s
training
has
meant
more
than
getting
her
wings—it
has
expanded
her
sense
of
what
the
future
may
hold.
“It
turns
out
I’m
capable
of
much
more
than
I
imagined,”
she
says.
“I
used
to
think
it’d
be
a
miracle
if
I
got
my
first
licence.
Now
I’ve
completed
nearly
1,000
hours
of
flight!
I’m
rotten
in
the
kitchen
and
I
burn
anything
I
iron,
but
if
you
need
someone
to
land
a
plane,
call
me.”
(　　)4.Marggraff
registered
in
flight
school
in
order
to
　　　　.?
A.break
away
from
car
pool
schedules
B.make
her
new
blank
notebook
popular
C.prove
women
are
equal
to
men
in
flying
D.pursue
her
childhood
dream
of
flying
(　　)5.What
did
Marggraff
do
after
earning
five
licences?
A.She
got
into
space
on
one
of
Virgin’s
early
flights.
B.She
instructed
people
in
how
to
make
universe
voyages.
C.She
received
space
training
in
preparation
for
space
tourism.
D.She
tried
in
vain
to
overcome
faintness
from
high
speed.
(　　)6.What
does
Marggraff
benefit
from
her
space
training?
A.It
proves
her
a
miracle.
B.It
increases
her
self-confidence.
C.It
wins
her
a
qualification.
D.It
improves
her
imagination.
(　　)7.Which
of
the
following
words
can
best
describe
Marggraff?
A.Aggressive
and
hopeful.
B.Creative
and
fragile.
C.Energetic
and
sensitive.
D.Considerate
and
persistent.
C
From
the
first
use
of
the
rocket
to
carry
satellites
into
space
to
the
setting
up
of
space
stations,
human
beings
have
been
putting
great
effort
into
space
research.
And
so
far,
we
have
achieved
many
successes.
But
there
are
still
numerous
tasks
in
front
of
us
and
we
should
not
stop
trying
to
progress.
The
International
Space
Station
(ISS)
is
an
important
step
we
should
take
in
space
exploration.
It
is
not
only
helpful
but
also
essential.
It
provides
a
proper
space
environment
for
many
experiments
that
we
have
wanted
to
do
for
a
long
time.
It
is
also
a
base
for
the
observations
of
the
earth
and
the
universe.
It
could
also
be
an
important
base
for
later
travel
to
the
moon
and
Mars.
In
a
word,
if
we
want
to
explore
space
more,
the
first
thing
we
should
do
is
to
set
up
a
space
station.
As
the
space
station
costs
a
lot
of
money,
it
is
hard
for
one
country
alone
to
establish
one.
The
USA
seems
to
be
the
only
country
that
has
the
ability
to
build
a
space
station
alone,
and
it
has
tried
to
do
so,
but
not
very
successful.
So
it
aggregated
many
other
countries
to
work
on
it
together.
Though
it
is
still
extremely
expensive,
it
is
much
cheaper
than
doing
it
alone.
It
is
really
a
job
that
needs
everyone’s
effort
and
will
benefit
everyone.
Led
by
the
US
and
Russia,
the
ISS
is
a
joint
project
between
six
space
agencies
involving
16
countries.
Called
the
greatest
achievement
in
human
cooperation,
the
ISS
has
come
to
the
end
of
a
ten-year’s
hard
work
in
construction.
China
has
applied
for
participation
in
the
project
many
times.
Unfortunately
all
the
applications
were
rejected,
which
drove
China
onto
the
path
of
independent
development.
As
the
Long
March
Ⅱ-F/T1
carrier
rocket
blasted
off
and
successfully
carried
Tiangong-1
into
space
on
September
29,
2011,
China
took
a
big
step
towards
its
Space
Station
Era.
Some
West
media
suggested
that
the
successful
launch
of
Tiangong-1
would
disturb
the
balance
of
global
space
power,
raising
concerns
about
“China
threat”.
China’s
space
project
is
not
designed
for
military
purpose
but
for
developing
space
technology
to
explore
space
resources
and
make
use
of
them
for
mankind’s
well-being.

Photographic
self-portraits
have
existed
for
as
long
as
cameras
have
been
in
human
hands.
But
what
about
selfies
in
space?
On
Twitter
last
year,
NASA
astronaut
Edwin
Aldrin,
who
famously
became
the
second
man
to
walk
on
the
moon
in
July
1969,
laid
claim
to
a
spaceflight
first:
taking
the
first
selfie
in
space
during
the
Gemini
XII
mission
in
1966.
“For
me,
it
needs
to
be
digital
to
be
a
selfie,”
argues
Jennifer
Levasseur,
a
director
at
the
Smithsonian
National
Air
and
Space
Museum.
According
to
Levasseur,
the
concept
of
a
selfie
is
directly
linked
to
Internet
culture.
“The
thing
that
makes
a
selfie
is
sharing
it,”
she
says.
Still,
astronauts
have
been
carrying
cameras
aboard
space
vehicles
since
the
1960s.
In
1966,
Aldrin
used
a
Hasselblad
camera
designed
specifically
for
space.
Hasselblad
also
painted
the
first
camera
in
space
matte(磨砂)
black
to
reduce
reflection
in
the
orbiter
window.
But
cameras
used
in
space
need
to
survive
extreme
conditions,
like
temperature
swings
from
-149°
to
248°F,
so
Hasselblad
painted
later
models
silver.
Astronauts
visiting
the
moon
then
had
to
take
out
the
film
and
leave
their
camera
bodies
behind
when
they
returned
to
Earth,
because
early
space
missions
were
limited
by
a
weight
limit
on
the
returned
trip.
Then
a
big
change
in
space
camera
technology
came
after
the
space
shuttle
Columbia
broke
apart
on
its
return
to
Earth
in
2003,
Levasseur
notes.
“Fear
that
they’d
never
be
able
to
bring
film
back
from
space
and
lose
all
that
hard
work
accelerated
the
push
for
digital,”
she
says.
Today,
astronauts
also
have
access
to
the
Internet
and
social
platforms
in
space
and
can
post
true
space
selfies
made
using
digital
cameras.
Similarly,
space
robots
are
participating
in
selfie
culture,
capturing
remote
pictures
of
themselves
in
space
or
on
other
planets
and
sending
them
back
to
Earth.
(　　)12.Why
do
selfies
in
space
need
to
be
digital
according
to
Jennifer
Levasseur?
A.Astronauts
are
fond
of
studying
technology.
B.Astronauts
are
eager
to
be
famous
on
the
Internet.
C.Astronauts
desire
to
communicate
on
social
platforms.
D.Astronauts
want
to
overcome
the
fear
in
space.
(　　)13.Why
can
the
Hasselblad
camera
adjust
to
the
temperature
changes
in
space?
A.It
is
painted
silver.
B.Its
matte
black
gathers
light.
C.Its
design
is
special.
D.It
can
reduce
reflection
itself.
(　　)14.What
contributed
to
the
faster
development
of
camera
technology
in
space?
A.The
heavy
space
tasks.
B.A
returned
space
shuttle.
C.A
spaceflight
crash.
D.The
improved
film.
(　　)15.What
can
be
a
suitable
title
for
the
text?
A.The
origin
of
selfies
in
space
B.The
brief
history
of
selfies
in
space
C.The
significance
of
selfies
in

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Set
your
clocks
for
4:32
pm(Eastern
Standard
Time)
on
May
27th,
2020.
If
everything
goes
as
planned,
a
rocket
will
launch
from
Kennedy
Space
Centre
in
Cape
Canaveral,
Florida.
16.　　　　
So
what’s
the
big
deal?
The
big
deal
is
a
collection
of
firsts
set
to
blast
off
on
the
27th
of
May.
The
first
humans
carried
aboard
a
rocket
developed
by
a
private
company.
The
first
humans
aboard
a
reusable
rocket.?
Ever
since
the
opening
days
of
the
space
age,
NASA
has
designed,
built,
and
flown
its
very
own
rockets
and
capsules.
17.　　　　
The
privately-held
company
SpaceX
will
be
providing
the
big
rocket
boost(助推器)
needed
to
get
NASA’s
astronauts
to
the
space,
aboard
a
Falcon
9
rocket
topped
with
a
Dragon
crew
capsule.?
18.　　　　
It
is
trying
to
make
access
to
space
cheaper,
chiefly
through
the
use
of
reusable
rockets—once
the
payload
is
delivered
into
orbit,
it
will
bring
the
rocket
back
down
the
Earth
and
polish
it
up
for
another
ride.?
In
the
meantime,
NASA
has
spent
the
past
decade
in
highly
bureaucratic
version
of
hell.
After
the
sad
end
of
the
space
shuttle
programme
in
2011,
the
American
space
agency
was
forced
to
rent
seats
on
Soyuz
rockets
Russian
made
and
Russian
launched
to
get
astronauts
up
to
the
International
Space
Station.
19.　　　?
And
now,
if
everything
goes
as
planned
on
May
27th,
we
will
make
human
access
to
space
cheaper,
more
reliable,
and
absolutely
easier.
20.　　　　
Space
tourism?
Moon
bases?
I
would
say
that
the
sky
is
limit,
but
the
sky
is
just
the
start.?
A.But
this
time,
it’s
different.
B.Rockets
go
off
all
the
time
from
the
Earth.
C.This
made
for
great
wounded
national
pride.
D.Most
of
the
astronauts
haven’t
made
it
up
into
space.
E.SpaceX
has
spent
the
past
decades
working
tirelessly.
F.NASA
has
been
developing
a
new
space
launch
system.
G.It’s
impossible
to
say
what
kind
of
revolutions
that
might
lead
to.

George
Edwin
Mueller
was
born
in
1918.
As
a
child,
he
loved
to
see
how
things
worked.
Inspired
by
his
father’s
work,
he
often
fitted
together
parts
of
radios
and
model
planes.
When
he
completed
his
university
　21　,
he
worked
for
a
few
years,
and
then
went
on
to
　22　
his
doctor’s
degree.
In
1963,
Dr
Mueller
was
invited
to
manage
the
Apollo
programme.?
By
1961,
Russia
had
already
　23　
the
first
man-made
satellite,
and
had
also
sent
the
first
　24　
into
space.
Shortly
after
that,
the
US
President
John
F.Kennedy
suggested
that
the
US
set
a
goal
of
landing
a
man
on
the
moon
and
returning
him
to
the
Earth.?
Dr
Mueller
accepted
the
　25　
and
also
made
sure
he
himself
would
organize
the
efforts
of
3
　26　
NASA
centres
directly
involved
in
the
launch.
It
was
his
idea
to
bring
in
senior
experienced
officers
of
the
US
Air
Force
to
help
manage
the
　27　.
He
also
pushed
for
a
new
way—　28　
the
satellite
launch
vehicle
after
it
was
fixed,
rather
than
testing
individual
parts.
After
months
of
hard
work,
the
team
　29　
launched
the
famous
Apollo
11
spacecraft
that
landed
on
the
moon
and
two
of
the
astronauts,
Neil
Armstrong
and
Buzz
Aldrin
took
their
famous
steps
as
well.
President
Kennedy’s
　30　
had
been
achieved
within
ten
years!?
Although
Dr
Mueller
　31　
to
the
private
industry
soon
afterwards,
he
had
also
　32　
the
foundation
for
Skylab—the
first
US
space
station
and
for
the
development
of
a
reusable
space
transport,
which
later
became
the
spaceship.
He
　33　
several
awards
over
the
rest
of
his
life.
He
will
always
be
remembered
for
his
huge
　34　
to
space
travel.?
On
October
12,
2015,
Dr
Mueller
died
at
home
in
California.
However,
his
work
and
ideas
continue
to
be
a(n)
　35　
to
us
all.?

It
was
the
middle
of
the
day
with
bright
sun,
blue
sky,
green
grass,
and
a
soft
breeze
(微风).
It
was
a
great
day
to
play
outside
and
the
best
day
of
my
life
because
I
got
a
new
ball
and
a
new
bike
as
my
sixth
birthday
presents,
and
I
was
visiting
my
cousin,
Kristy,
at
her
house.
“Here
I
go!”
shouted
David
while
kicking
my
new
ball.
David
lived
next
door
and
was
older
than
me.
I
thought
he
was
a
wild
child,
but
he
was
actually
very
kind.
The
ball
went
flying
as
if
it
were
going
to
space.
“That
was
high!”
Kristy
said
in
surprise
and
we
went
after
the
ball.
We
all
had
a
great
time.
Later
we
had
supper
and
the
food
my
aunt
made
was
good.
While
Kristy
was
helping
do
the
dishes,David
and
I
ran
outside
to
play.
We
started
taking
turns
riding
my
bike.
David
suggested
that
we
ride
it
to
the
forest.
And
I
agreed.
David
and
I
got
on
the
bike
and
David
started
going
fast.
As
we
rode
through
the
forest,
I
felt
the
wind
brushing
my
face.
I
felt
so
great
and
free.
Suddenly
the
bike
hit
a
fallen
branch
and
we
went
flying
off
the
bike.
Lying
on
the
ground,
I
felt
dizzy
(眩晕).
I
checked
myself
for
injuries
and
saw
some
but
they
didn’t
bother
me.
“David!”
I
shouted
out
loudly
and
anxiously.
“Hey,”
said
a
voice.
I
turned
my
head
and
it
was
David,
who
was
standing
behind
me,
holding
my
broken
bike.
At
the
sight
of
my
disabled
bike,
I
was
so
sad
that
I
couldn’t
hold
back
my
tears.
It
took
David
some
time
to
calm
me
down.

When
we

it

we

【文章大意】
本文是一篇说明文,讲述了国际空间站对人类探索太空起着非常重要的作用。国际空间站造价很高。现有的国际空间站是在美国和俄罗斯的领导下,由六个太空机构参与的一个联合项目,涉及16个国家。中国因多次申请参加该项目被拒走上了独立发展的道路。
8.C　推理判断题。由第二段前两句“The
International
Space
Station
(ISS)
is
an
important
step
we
should
take
in
space
exploration.
It
is
not
only
helpful
but
also
essential.”(国际空间站是我们在太空探索中应该采取的重要步骤。这不仅是有益的,而且是必要的。)和第二段最后一句“In

10.D　细节理解题。由第三段第一句“As
the
space
station
costs
a
lot
of
money,
it
is

【文章大意】
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了太空自拍的历史。
12.C　推理判断题。根据第二段“‘For
me,
it
needs
to
be
digital
to
be
a
selfie,’
argues
Jennifer
Levasseur,
a
director
at
the
Smithsonian
National
Air
and
Space
Museum.
According
to
Levasseur,
the
concept
of
a
selfie
is
directly
linked
to
Internet
culture.
‘The
thing
that
makes
a
selfie
is
sharing
it,’
she
says.”可知,Jennifer
Levasseur认为自拍的概念与网络文化直接相关,自拍的关键在于分享。由此可推断出她认为太空自拍之所以需要数字化是因为宇航员想与人们在社交平台交流与互动。故选C。
13.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But
cameras
used
in
space
need
to
survive
extreme
conditions,
like
temperature
swings
from
-149°
to
248℉,
so
Hasselblad
painted
later
models
silver.”可知,Hasselblad照相机能适应太空气温的变化是因为它被漆成了银色。故选A。
14.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then
a
big
change
in
space
camera
technology
came
after
the
space
shuttle
Columbia
broke
apart
on
its
return
to
Earth
in
2003,
Levasseur
notes.
‘Fear
that
they’d
never
be
able
to
bring
film
back
from
space
and
lose
all
that
hard
work
accelerated
the
push
for
digital,’
she
says.”可知,一场太空飞行事故促成了太空摄像技术的快速发展。故选C。
15.B　主旨大意题。本文第一段引入太空自拍的话题并介绍了太空自拍的起源后,下文介绍了太空自拍的发展及如今太空自拍的现状。由此可推断出,本文简单介绍了太空自拍的历史。所以最适合这篇文章的题目是“太空自拍的简史”。故选B。

19.C　上文谈到:2011年航天飞机项目以失败结束后,美国航天局被迫租用俄罗斯制造和俄罗斯发射的联盟号运载火箭的座位,将宇航员送上国际空间站。本空与前一句是因果关系。C选项“这件事使美国民族自尊心受到了很大的伤害”切题。故选C。
20.G　根据下文连续的两个问句:“太空旅游?月球基地?”可知,G选项承接下文。G选项“很难说那会带来什么样的革命”切题。故选G。

第二节
【文章大意】
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国载人航天工程第三阶段的相关情况。
36.successfully　考查副词。此处修饰动词confirmed,应该用副词,故填successfully。
37.the　考查冠词。序数词前面用定冠词“the”,表示“第……个”,the
third
stage意为“第三阶段”,符合题意。故填the。
38.which　考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是China’s
manned
space
programme,在从句中作主语,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故填which。
39.named　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,这里是非谓语动词作定语,修饰“the
core
module
(核心舱)
of
the
space
station”,name与core
module之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填named。
40.will
be
sent　考查动词时态和语态。结合上下文以及时间状语soon可知,这里应该用一般将来时,主语是核心舱和两个实验舱,跟send之间是被动关系,所以要用被动语态。故填will
be
sent。
41.development　考查名词。under是介词,后面用名词作宾语。故填development。
42.members　考查名词复数。结合谓语及参与空间站建设的人员应该不止一个的常识可知,这里要用复数名词。故填members。
43.how　考查状语从句。“no
matter
+疑问词”引导让步状语从句。无论情况如何变化,都不能丧失自力更生和艰苦奋斗的精神。故填how。
44.to
expand　考查固定短语。make
an
effort
to
do
sth是固定短语,意为“努力做某事”,故填to
expand。
45.as　考查固定短语。as
soon
as
possible
意为“尽可能快地”,是固定短语。故填as。
第三部分
第一节
One
possible
version:
With
the
development
of
science
and
technology,
it
is
not
difficult
for
people
to
explore
outer
space.
But
every
coin
has
two
sides,
so
does
outer
space
exploration.
There
are
many
advantages.
Firstly,
outer
space
exploration
contributes
not
only
to
the
improvement
of
the
quality
of
human
life,
but
also
to
our
getting
more
new
energy
resources
as
the
energy
resources
on
Earth
are
running
out.
Secondly,
the
science
and
technology
capability
of
a
nation
can
be
shown
by
its
space
exploration.
In
spite
of
these
advantages,
there
is
also
one
disadvantage.
Every
year
much
money
and
energy
are
put
into
the
programme
which
might
be
used
to
help
the
poor
otherwise.
As
far
as
I
am
concerned,
we
should
continue
to
explore
outer
space.
Perhaps
it
will
bring
even
more
benefits
in
the
future
as
long
as
we
take
advantage
of
it
in
a
right
way.
第二节
One
possible
version:
When
we
realized
it
was
time
to
walk
home,
we
found
ourselves
lost.
It
was
getting
darker
and
darker.
I
felt
so
scared
that
tears
rolled
down
my
face
again.
David
attempted
to
comfort
me.
He
told
me
that
he
once
made
some
marks
on
the
trees
in
the
forest,
which
might
help
us
find
the
way
home.
Therefore,
we
made
efforts
to
look
for
the
marks
but
in
vain.
Having
walked
anxiously
for
about
an
hour
in
the
forest,
we
failed
to
find
our
way
out.
It
was
completely
dark
when
we
saw
fireworks
being
set
off
in
the
distance.
We
ran
excitedly
in
that
direction
as
fast
as
possible.
Soon
we
found
my
aunt’s
house,
in
front
of
which
my
cousin
Kristy
was
holding
some
fireworks
and
lighting
them.
Seeing
us
back
safe,
Kristy
cheerfully
hugged
us.
She
told
us
that
when
noticing
we
had
been
away
for
long,
she
was
concerned
about
our
safety.
She
set
off
fireworks
to
draw
our
attention
and
guide
us.
It
was
an
unforgettable
experience.
Without
David’s
comfort
and
Kristy’s
fireworks,
I
would
have
lost
in
the
forest
forever.
