Have you ever dreamed of traveling to space With many developments in space travel, you may soon be able to book a ticket.
Flying me to the moon
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will invite eight members of the public to join him for a trip around the moon with the help of Elon Musk’s SpaceX company.
The mission, called dearMoon, will take three days to fly to the moon, orbit and then spend three days returning. In addition to its historic first as a private lunar mission, the rocket’s flight path means it will go beyond the distance traveled by the US Apollo missions, Musk told CNBC, an American news channel. The flight is scheduled for 2023.
Living in the space hotel
Instead of squeezing into a space cabin, how about enjoying your time in a hotel The world’s first space hotel is due to be under construction in 2025.
Developed by US company Orbital Assembly Corporation(OAC), the space hotel will be a large circular structure. It will rotate (旋转) to generate artificial gravity, similar to the level found on the surface of the moon, according to the Daily Mail. The hotel is expected to have restaurants, cinemas and rooms for up to 400 guests.
A short space trip
While some people may like to stay in space for a long time, others may prefer to simply have a taste. Tickets for a 90-minute journey have been on sale to the public since February 16. The first commercial tourist flights with Virgin Galactic, a private space tourism company founded by British businessman Richard Branson, are set for later this year.
The journey to the edge of space will begin with the spacecraft attached to a twin-fuselage (双机身) aircraft. At a certain altitude, the spacecraft detaches (脱离) from the jet and its engines fire. It then climbs to reach the edge of the atmosphere, according to The Independent.
21.What do we know about dearMoon
A. It will be carried out in two years’ time.
B. It will go further than any Apollo mission.

Known as the "First Lady of Physics" and "Queen of Nuclear Research", Chien-Shiung Wu was born in China in 1912 and went to the United States in 1936 to take part in the doctorate(博士学位) program in nuclear physics at the University of Michigan. After learning that women were disrespected at the University of Michigan, she instead chose to go to the University of California, Berkeley.
During her earlier life in China, she had been an outstanding student whose love of learning had been encouraged by her father. By the time she arrived in the United States, she had already stood out in her undergraduate academic work and later during postgraduate research. At Berkeley, she benefited from working with some of the top physicists in the country at that time.After one year at Berkeley, she received a scholarship (奖学金) to Caltech. She completed her doctorate in 1940 and moved to the east coast. Unable to find a research position at university, Wu became a physics teacher at Princeton University and at Smith College. In 1944, she joined the Manhattan Project where she began work on beta decay and uranium enrichment.
While at Columbia University, Wu began working with two other Chinese American scientists, Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yang conducting research in the field of particle physics. Wu developed an experiment disproving (反驳) a hypothetical physical law called the conservation of parity. The experiment smoothed the way for her two colleagues to earn the Nobel Prize, an award for which she was overlooked, she believed, because she was a woman. In 1978, her work was finally recognized when she received the Wolf Prize, a $100,000 international award given to artists and scientists for achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among people... regardless of their nationality, race, color, religion, sex or political views.
She continued advancing her work in nuclear physics for many years and later joined in protecting women’s rights. She died in 1997 from a stroke.
24.Why did Wu choose to study at the University of California, Berkeley
A. She needed to join a program.
B. She wanted to be treated equally.
C. She could learn physics further.
D. She could get the doctorate easily.
25.What can we learn about Wu from Paragraph 2
A. She had a good performance in study.
B. She carried out nuclear research in China.
C. She couldn’t find her position at university.
D. She was the first female to join the Manhattan Project.
26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "overlooked" in Paragraph 3
A. Accepted. B. Criticized.
C. Praised. D. Removed.
27.Which of the following best describes Wu as a scientist
A. Modest. B. Responsible.
C. Devoted. D. Creative.
C
Planned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods of extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.
Scientists at the University of Reading studied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in the timing of the most extreme events, which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made about extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, for example, major space missions.
The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in even-numbered solar cycles or late in odd-numbered solar cycles. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to return humans to the moon in 2024, but could be put off until the late 2020s.
Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at the University of Reading, said, "Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to be random in their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable."
Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be on the basis of observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is relatively little historic data to identify patterns. In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time. The findings suggest that any major space missions planned beyond the next five years will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.
28.What can we learn about the new study from the first two paragraphs
A. It has lasted for 150 years.
B. It doesn’t refer to space weather data.
C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.
D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.
29.Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off
A. To research solar cycles.
B. To meet the needs of astronauts.
C. To return humans to the moon in 2024.
D. To avoid effects of extreme space weather.
30.What does the underlined word "random" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Irregular. B. Easy.
C. Limited. D. Changeless.
31.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The study is useful for future space missions.
B. The planned space missions should be put off.
C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.
D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.
D
The future of space exploration may depend on an art form from the past: origami, the ancient art of paper folding.
Researchers from Washington State University (WSU), US, have used origami to possibly solve the problem of storing fuel and moving fuel to rocket engines, a key challenge in space travel, according to Newswise. They’ve developed a foldable plastic fuel "bladder (气囊)" resistant to super cold temperatures, which could be used to store and pump fuel in spacecraft of the future. Their findings have recently been published in the journal Cryogenics.
"Folks have been trying to make bags for rocket fuel for a long time," said Jake Leachman, one of the lead researchers. "We currently don’t take large, long-duration trips because we can’t store fuel long enough in space."
Meanwhile, NASA is also relying on paper folding to help observe distant planets. The is currently developing Starshade, a foldable, flower-shaped piece of hardware that will help block starlight and enaagencyble telescopes to view distant objects more clearly in space.
"A huge part of my job is looking at something on paper and asking, ‘Can we fly this ’" Manan Arya, a technologist in California, said. "Once I realized this is how you fold spacecraft structures, I became interested in origami. I realized I was good at it and enjoyed it. Now, I fold it constantly. "
Using origami for space purposes isn’t new, however. Solar arrays (太阳能阵列), experimental wings for space shuttle programs and an inflatable (可充气的) satellite were also inspired by origami in both past and present space projects.
"With most origami, the magic comes from the folding," Robert Salazar, who helped design Starshade and now works on the Transformers project, said in a statement. "There are so many patterns still to explore."
32.How could the "bladder" help on future missions
A. To be used to improve energy use.
B. To protect spacecraft from extreme weather.
C. To help rocket engines reduce energy waste.
D. To be used to store and supply fuel in spacecraft.
33.What can we know about NASA’s Starshade
A. It can be used to get telescopes closer to stars.
B. It can enlarge the view of telescopes in space.
C. It can absorb a star’s light before it enters telescopes.
D. It can help telescopes get clearer pictures of objects in space.
34.Where is this text probably taken
A. A travel journal. B. A study.
C. A science report. D. An advertisement.
35.Which can be the best title for the text
A. Folding into space
B. The art of paper folding
C. Space exploration
D. The origami projects

Gardening 380 Kilometers above Earth
Astronauts have to go through every aspect of training, including how to care for plants. These "astronaut gardeners" share their work and living space with plants.
Taking seeds and plants along on a trip isn’t a new idea. As space trips become longer, it will be necessary to grow food in space. 36. Because of this, it’s not practical to send everything needed for a long journey, only to be used once and thrown away.
Plants can serve many uses on a space journey. They can provide more fresh things. 37. Also, plants can help to make air quality better because they produce oxygen. They can improve the quality of the air inside the spacecraft — the only air the astronauts can breathe.
38. Due to the lack of gravity in space, the oxygen that the plants produce stays around the plants. This can actually kill them, so fans are needed to circulate air. Without gravity, roots don’t "know" to grow down, leaves don’t "know" to grow up, and water doesn’t easily travel up the roots to the leaves. 39. Besides, soil is too heavy to send to space, and special liquid gels(凝胶) are used to help plant growth.
Scientists are also working on the plants themselves. They are trying to make plants grow more rapidly and grow with less water and light in space, and they are looking for ways to make plants more resistant to disease. 40. Imagine that deserts may one day provide lots of fresh food for local people, which will save transportation costs. Similarly, plants that are resistant to disease could provide an important food supply. With the world’s population now at about 7.7 billion, our astronaut gardeners may help discover ways to feed those billions.
A. Every plant grown in space must have several uses.
B. However, there are challenges of growing plants in space.
C. Such methods may result in improvement on Earth.
D. The cost of taking anything into space is about $22,000 per kilogram.
E. Specialized containers are being developed to help the plants grow correctly.
F. Astronauts will welcome the addition of fruits and vegetables to their diet of dry foods.
G. Currently all oxygen is taken aboard in tanks and then caught again so it can be reused.

Peter, a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in seashells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley. They screamed with joy as Peter collected his treasures into his pockets. For Peter, seashells lay shining on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling in the sky.
One day, Peter was wandering through a market with Shirley, with some seashells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging(落后)behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley was standing in front of a toy shop and was staring at something with great interest.
Peter went back to her and asked, "What do you want " Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her face. Peter held his younger sister’s tiny hand, walking into the shop. He stood on tiptoe(踮着脚)to reach for the doll, and like a responsible elder brother, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding the doll tightly, his sister was very very happy.
The shopkeeper was watching everything and was amused to see the behaviour of Peter. Then Peter came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost, Sir "
The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked Peter with love and affection, "Well, what can you pay " Peter reached into his pocket for money that was intended for these two little guys’ breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it carefully on the counter, asking again, "Sir, is it enough for my little sister’s doll "
The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile on his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, "My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough."

54.A 根据空前的"determination and"可知,空处与determination并列,再根据上文中的"Robert 52 intended to put his all into working for Kyle as long as Kyle had 53 for him"可知,Kyle看到了Robert的决心和干劲。故选A。
55.D 通读全文可知,Robert通过自己的努力得到了一个工作的机会,最终获得了雇主Kyle 的认可。由此可知,有时候一个人需要的只是一个机会。故选D。
56.has concluded 考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,此处应用现在完成时表示过去所发生的事情对现在的影响或产生的结果。因主语"The Shenzhou XIII mission"为单数名词,空处应用第三人称单数形式。故填has concluded。
57.construction 考查名词。由空前的the和空后的of可知,空处应填名词。结合语境可知,空处意为"建造"。故填construction。
58.departed 考查时态。根据语境和下文中的"returned"可知,此处depart所表示的动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时。
pleting 考查非谓语动词。在在轨飞行6个月后,神舟十三号的三名航天员于周六上午离开天宫返回地球,完成了中国最长时间的载人航天飞行。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语,主语和complete之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式作状语。故填completing。
60.for 考查介词。for the first time"第一次"为固定短语。
61.successfully 考查副词。此处修饰动词completed,故用副词successfully。
62.involved 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰those; those和involve之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故填involved。
63.who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,且先行词为those,指人,应用关系代词who引导。
64.the 考查冠词。此处特指中国的力量和实力,应用定冠词修饰,故填the。
65.proud 考查形容词。根据空前的am可知,空处应填pride的形容词形式proud。be proud of...意为"以……为骄傲"。

第二节范文
One possible version
Paragraph 1:
With his eyes fixed on Peter’s pocket, he wondered what Peter would do. Watching Shirley’s smile fading away, Peter frowned. After a while, he seemed to make up his mind. He took out all the seashells from his pocket, giving them to the shopkeeper, who took them and started to count as if he had been counting the money. Peter asked him, "Is it enough now " The shopkeeper replied, "These are more than the cost." Saying so, he kept only two seashells and returned other seashells and the money. Peter put those seashells back into his pocket very happily.
Paragraph 2:
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised. He asked the shopkeeper, "Sir! You only charged two seashells for the doll !" The shopkeeper said with a smile, "For us these are seashells, but for the boy they are treasures. His love for his sister is the most precious." Watching the lovely kids until they were out of sight, he continued, "When he grows up, he will remember he bought a doll for his sister with the seashells. He will cherish love and warmth in life — cherish every little shining seashell in his heart."
