【导语】本文结合苏轼的诗句，讲述了中国人对太空的向往，以及如今中国航天 (如天宫空间站) 的
发展让古人的太空梦逐渐成真。
1．句意：中国伟大诗人苏轼曾写道：“我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。”根据原文中
“once” (表“曾经”，是一般过去时的标志）可知，“write”需用过去式，“write”的过去式是
“wrote”。故填wrote。
2．句意：几个世纪以来，人们一直想知道：生活在天空中到底是什么感觉？根据原文中“many”，后
接可数名词复数，可知“century”需变为复数形式，“century”的复数是“centuries”。故填centuries。
3．句意：如今，中国科学家在太空科学领域做出了卓越的贡献，所以我们正离这个古老的梦想越来
越近。根据原文中“Chinese scientists have done excellent work in space science” (中国科学家做出卓越
贡献) 和“we are getting closer to this ancient dream” (离梦想更近) 的因果关系，可知此处用连词
第11 / 16
页 共 页“so”。故填so。
4．句意：我们建造了自己的“琼楼玉宇”——天宫空间站。根据原文中“own” (自己的) 前需用形容
词性物主代词，可知“we”对应的形容词性物主代词是“our”。故填our。
5．句意：宇航员在那里生活数月，帮助我们进一步了解宇宙。根据原文中“Astronauts live there for
months”的目的是“us understand more about our universe”，表目的需用动词不定式，“help”的不定式

五、任务型读写
For thousands of years, people have hoped to explore the Moon. Today, this wish has come true through
Chang’e Project. It is China’s special program to explore and study the Moon.
Since Chang’e-1 successfully flew around the Moon in 2007, China has finished the Chang’e-2,3,4 and
5 missions (任务). Among them, Chang’e-4 was the first in the world to land softly on the far side of the Moon.
In 2020, Chang’e-5 brought back 1,731 grams of regolith (月壤), which gave scientists valuable materials to
research and learn more about the Moon’s history and how it came to be. China has also shared some lunar
samples (样本) with other countries, supporting international space research together.
Based on these successes, Chang’e-6 has made new progress in exploring the Moon. These include the
world’s first sample return from the far side of the Moon, collecting about 1,935 grams of regolith. Another new
discovery is that negative ions (负离子) were found on the Moon’s surface for the first time. These ions are
difficult to find because they last for only a very short time. This discovery opens new possibilities for space
science.
▲ Chang’e-7 will explore the Moon’s south pole (极地). It will look for water ice and study the
environment to get ready for a future lunar base. Chang’e-8 will land on the Moon’s south pole too. It will build
第12 / 16
页 共 页communications and energy systems. It will also test using regolith to build a lunar base.
Together, these missions show China’s rapid development in space technology and its wish to work with
other countries to explore the universe.

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。选项中有一项为多余选项。
“Are we alone? What’s out there?” People have always looked up at the stars and wondered about space.
Before the mid-20th century, most people felt traveling into space was only a dream. 1 After many
tests, they succeeded in making rockets that could overcome Earth’s gravity (重力). Ever since then, human
exploration (探索) of space has started.
2 China’s space program started late in the last century, but it has made great progress in a short
time. China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003. 3
It is large enough to allow astronauts to carry out many important scientific studies. More recently, Shenzhou-20
manned (载人的) spaceship was successfully sent into space on April 24th, 2025.
Besides the exploration near the earth, many countries are doing some research on other planets. For
example, on July 23rd, 2020, China sent Tianwen-1 to explore the surface of Mars. Planets like Mars might be
safe enough for humans to live on. 4
There is still a long way for humans to go to explore space. If you are interested in space walking, go for
your dream. 5 Maybe you will become one of the engineers who work on China’s space
exploration.
A．China has never stopped its steps exploring space.
B．So far, no more progress in space has been made.
C．It certainly requires a lot of hard work and a strong will.
D．However, scientists made up their mind to make it come true.
E．In 2022, China completely set up its own space station Tiangong.
F．This shows that exploring other planets could help find humanity’s (人类) future homes.
【答案】1．D 2．A 3．E 4．F 5．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类太空探索的发展历程，重点讲述了中国航天事业的成就与意
义。
1．前句交代太空旅行早年只是空想，后文讲述科研人员研制火箭突破太空探索难关。D选“However,
scientists made up their mind to make it come true.”以转折衔接文意，自然引出人类圆梦太空的探索过
程。
2．下文具体列举中国在载人航天、空间站建设等方面的航天成果。A项“China has never stopped its
steps exploring space.”总领全段，引出后文中国航天事业的各项成就。
第14 / 16
页 共 页3．后句描述了可供宇航员开展科研的大型设施。E项“In 2022, China completely set up its own space
station Tiangong.”提到的“天宫空间站”，正是后文描述的这一科研设施，前后内容直接对应，逻辑
连贯。
4．前文提到中国发射天问一号探索火星，说明火星可能是人类未来的宜居地。F项“This shows that
exploring other planets could help find humanity’s future homes.”承接上文对火星探索的描述，点明了探
索其他行星的意义，逻辑闭环完整。
5．前句鼓励对太空探索感兴趣的人追逐梦想，后句提及有望成为航天工作者。C项“It certainly
requires a lot of hard work and a strong will.”承接追梦话题，点明实现航天梦想所需的条件，上下文衔接
自然。
七、阅读理解
Many of us dreamed of being astronauts when we were kids. However, only a small number of people
can realize this dream. But does that mean you’ll never get the chance to work in space? Not exactly.
In fact, some space-related jobs aren’t just for astronauts and they all sound really amazing. One of the
most interesting space jobs is “chief sniffer (嗅探员)”. NASA has already had a sniffer named George Aldrich,
whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships. Using your nose at work might sound a bit
strange, but actually the job is very important. A spaceship has a small space and high temperature, which makes
smells inside intense. And once a spaceship is sent, astronauts cannot run away from unpleasant smells. What’s
more, smelling objects can help find things that might be harmful to astronauts’ health.
Another job, the “space tour guide”, may seem a little ahead of its time—after all, there aren’t any tourists
in space yet. But now, many companies are starting to provide space travel services and some rich space lovers
have booked the tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel places. Being a space tour
guide requires rich knowledge to help passengers get the most from their journey. Space tour guides also have
to be great storytellers so that passengers can experience the real beauty of space travel.
Astronauts often stay in space with the same group of people for a long time. That’s why a “space
psychologist (心理学家)” is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings.
“We’re breaking the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and real life,” said Rohit Talwar, director
of the US company Fast Future Research, “Things we’ve seen in movies are now coming true!”
1．How many space jobs are mentioned in the passage?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
2．What is the main duty of a “chief sniffer” at NASA?
A．To design spaceships for astronauts.
第15 / 16
页 共 页B．To check the temperature inside spaceships.
C．To train astronauts to get used to smells in space.
D．To smell materials before they are used in spaceships.
3．What does the underlined word “intense” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Weak. B．Strong. C．Strange. D．Pleasant.
4．Why is a “space psychologist” necessary for astronauts?
A．Because astronauts often feel lonely in space.
B．Because astronauts need psychological knowledge.
C．Because staying long with the same group may cause bad feelings.
D．Because space psychologists can help astronauts book space tours.
5．What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce different space jobs besides astronauts.
B．To describe the hard life of people working in space.
C．To show the importance of space travel for tourists.
D．To explain how to become a successful space astronaut.
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了除宇航员之外几种有趣的太空相关职业，包括首席嗅探员、太空导游和太空
心理学家。
1．文中分别介绍了“chief sniffer”（第二段）、“space tour guide”（第三段）和“space
psychologist”（第四段）三种太空职业。
2．第二段明确指出：“whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships”，说明首席嗅探
员的主要职责是在材料用于飞船前对其进行嗅探检测。
3．第二段提到“A spaceship has a small space and high temperature”，飞船空间小且温度高，结合上下
文，这种环境会使气味变得浓烈，因此“intense”意为“强烈的”。
4．第四段明确指出：“Astronauts often stay in space with the same group of people for a long time. That's
why a ‘space psychologist’ is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings”，说明长时间与同一群
人共处可能引发不良情绪，因此需要太空心理学家。
5．文章开篇指出并非只有宇航员才能从事太空相关工作，随后介绍了三种太空相关职业，因此主要
目的是介绍宇航员之外的其他太空职业。
