Man has been fascinated by outer space for thousands of years. It has been over forty years since man's first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space exploration is a waste of time and money. They point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to carry on the space research, but a little information was brought back. However, every coin has two sides. There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages. And I agree with those people. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are also products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world. And what's more, scientific knowledge about outer space has been acquired By mankind.We believe that it will bring more benefits in the future, which we cannot even imagine now. Space exploration is a challenge to human beings. That's why several nations try hard to carry out space exploration continuously. 高频单词 1.system (n.) 系统;体系;制度 2.theory (n.) 学说;理论→theoretical (adj.) 理论上的 3.atmosphere (n.) 大气层;气氛 4.thus (adv.) 因此;于是 5.harmful (adj.) 有害的→harm (n.) 害处(vt.) 对……有害 6.puzzle (vt.&vi.)(使)迷惑; (使)为难 (n.) 谜;难题→puzzled (adj.)迷惑不解的 7.pull (n.&vt.) 拉(力);拖;牵引力 8.float (vi.&vt.)

A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly. In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade'send, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims. When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromisedW3 space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The perpetual argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxury—as if saving one-thousandth of a single year's budget would solve our problems. But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civiliansW4 in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream. The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us-not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed_off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealedtoP2 the idea that humans can transcend what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot ofthe credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it. 篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。作者认为太空探索一直都是梦想家的领域,它激发了人类的想象力和创造力。 1.The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that________. A.imagination is the mother of invention B.ingenuity is essential for science fiction writers C.it takes patience for humans to realize their dreams D.dreamers have always been interested in science fiction 答案:A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句中的“The human imagination readily soars whilehuman ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow.”可知,人类想象力汹涌澎湃,而人类的创造力也苦苦地紧 追不舍,也就是“想象是创造之母”。故选 A。 2.How did the general public view Kennedy's space exploration plan? A.It symbolized the American dream. B.It was as urgent as racial equality. C.It sounded very much like a dream. D.It made an ancient dream come true. 答案:C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade's end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality.”可知,1961 年肯尼迪总统宣布美国将到 20 世纪 60 年代末把人类送到月球上,那样的话语同样也像是做梦一般。故选 C。 3.What does the author say about America's aim to explore space? A.It may not bring about immediate economic gains. B.It cannot be realized without technological innovation. C.It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality. D.It cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds. 答案:A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后三句“The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact.

Closest approach came at 7:49 a.m. EDT. To celebrate, NASA gaveoutP1 the latest photo of Pluto. It showed a reddish world with an amazing heart-shaped feature on its surface. After today's close encounterW1, all the nine solar system's traditionally recognized planets have nowbeen visited by a spaceship—a huge project begun in 1962 when NASA's Mariner 2 probe flew past Venus, a planet in the solar system. More than 1,200 scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched the flyby live at New Horizons' missionW2 control center. That close encounter has been a long time coming. The $723 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006 but began taking shape in 1989. “New Horizons is „a capstone mission‟,” Glen Fountain, mission project manager told Space. com. “It is the first completion of the observations of our solar system. It is giving us a new idea about how we human beings fit into the universe.” “New Horizons faced a crazy number of challenges,” Stern, a driving force behind New Horizons said, “So many people stuck with this for so long. They got knocked down; they stood up. They got knocked down again; they stood up again.” In a coincidence, today's close approach falls on the 50th anniversaryW5 of the first flyby of Mars, another planet, which was completed by NASA-s Mariner 4 spaceship. There are no longer nine officially recognized planets, of course.

However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, a new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. __1__ 1.Buy experiences, not material goods. In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found thatwhen people don't have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. __2__ But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value. 2. __3__ No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures. 3.Be sure to buy time. __4__ For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal. 4.Try giving it away. Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. __5__ A.Be sure to buy what you like. B.Here are some ways to better spend your money. C.Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing. D.There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something. E.People think experiences only provide temporary happiness. F.This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor. G.Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time. 篇章导读:本文是议论文。文章就如何更好地消费给出几条建议。 1.B 承上启下的过渡句。主要引领下文四条建议。 2.E 结合上下文并紧扣小标题中的关键词 buy experiences 可知,答案为 E。 3.C 根据该段中关键语句“With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.”可知,C 项符合语境。 4.G 该段关键词为“buy time”,G 项为“Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.”,紧扣小标题,符合语境。 5.F 该段关键词为“give away”,即赠送的乐趣。 Ⅲ.语法填空(建议用时 8′) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 [2018·河北名校联考]A police car pulled up in front of an older woman's house, and her husband climbed out.
