Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe (建議用時(shí)：35分鐘).閱讀理解A(2020·大連一模)Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moona total lunar eclipse(月食)on the roof of their house.Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search，” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density(密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world，” Dobek says.Dobeks design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self­Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobeks design. A simulator(模擬裝置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions，” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”【解題導(dǎo)語】本文主要介紹了小學(xué)生Emilia Dobek設(shè)計(jì)太空站，并贏得挑戰(zhàn)的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。1Dobek first became interested in space when _Ashe was still a seventh graderBshe studied at a junior high schoolCshe lived on the top of their houseDshe watched an eclipse of the moonD解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moona total lunar eclipse(月食)on the roof of their house.”可知，Dobek對(duì)太空感興趣是從她三年級(jí)時(shí)的一個(gè)晚上觀看一次月食開始的。2Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because _Ashe knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeBshe had no other students interested in MarsCDobek knew how to research bone density of astronautsDshe was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performanceD解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Smeeton的話可推知，她對(duì)Dobek很了解，對(duì)其可以接受這項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)并出色完成充滿信心。3What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?AThe environment on Mars.BThe safety of the supplies.CThe activities for astronauts.DThe comfort of the astronauts.D解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段中的“make sure their comfort is out of this world”并結(jié)合對(duì)倒數(shù)第二段的整體理解可推知，Dobek的設(shè)計(jì)包含身體和休閑活動(dòng)，讓宇航員在太空中也能感到舒適。B(2020·蘭州高三診斷)A new chapter opened in mankinds exploration of the moon on Thursday morning as the first probe(航天探測(cè)器) to land on the moons far side reached its destination after a 26­day journey. The Change 4 lunar probe, representing Chinas latest step in lunar investigation, landed at 10：26 am at the Von Kármán crater and then sent back three photos of the landing site shot by cameras on the probes lander(著陸器), marking the worlds first images taken on the surface of the far side.One of the photos, published by the China National Space Administration, shows the place where Change 4s rover, which was named Yutu 2 on Thursday night, will be heading to explore and survey. Thus began the first long journey to the side of the moon that faces away from the Earth. It is meant to fulfill scientists long­held desire to closely observe the lesser known region.Tidal(潮汐的)forces on Earth slow the moons rotation to the point that the same side always faces Earth. The other side, most of which is never visible from Earth, is the far side of the moon. While it has been photographed by spacecraft, starting with a Soviet probe in 1959, no probe had ever made a soft landing there, so scientists had not been able to conduct surface­level observations and surveys of the region.Wu Weiren, chief designer of Chinas lunar program, said in Beijing on Thursday that the landing “was perfect”. He called the event “an important milestone for Chinas space exploration”， adding that it has made a good start for future lunar exploration efforts.With its investigation of the far side, particularly the Von Kármán crater, the Change 4 mission will enable scientists to find out what they havent known about the moon and deepen their knowledge of its early history and of the solar system.【解題導(dǎo)語】嫦娥四號(hào)探測(cè)器在月球背面著陸，這標(biāo)志著中國探月工程的巨大進(jìn)步，同時(shí)也為人類了解月球的背面提供了信息。4What is the first paragraph mainly about?AThe basic data of the Change 4 lunar probe.BThe Change 4s world­first landing on the moons far side.CThe Change 4s 26­day visit to the far side of the moon.DThe description of the photos taken on the surface of the moons far side.B解析：段落大意題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“A new chapter opened in mankinds exploration of the moon on Thursday morning as the first probe(航天探測(cè)器) to land on the moons far side reached its destination after a 26­day journey.”可知，本段主要介紹了嫦娥四號(hào)實(shí)現(xiàn)了人類首次在月球背面著陸。故選B。5What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?AThe lander.BThe rover.CThe far side of the moon.DThe Change 4 lunar probe.C解析：代詞指代題。根據(jù)第三段的第二句“The other side, most of which is never visible from Earth, is the far side of the moon.”以及畫線詞所在句中的“While it has been photographed by spacecraft”可知，it在這里指代“the far side of the moon”，故選C。6What can we infer from this text?AIt is only on the moon that people can explore the deep space.BThe scientific information obtained by Change 4 will be new to the world.CIt is the first time for people to see the pictures of the far side of the moon.DChinese space technology is more advanced than that of any other countrys.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的“marking the worlds first images taken on the surface of the far side”可知，嫦娥四號(hào)月球探測(cè)器發(fā)回的照片是世界上首次在月球背面拍攝的，由此可推知，B項(xiàng)正確。7In which section of a website can we probably read this text?ATourism.BHealth Care.CScience and Technology.DArt and Entertainment.C解析：文章出處題。本文為新聞報(bào)道，介紹了嫦娥四號(hào)探測(cè)器首次在月球背面著陸，這標(biāo)志著中國探月工程的巨大進(jìn)步，由此可推知，本文可能出自一個(gè)網(wǎng)站的科技版面。故選C。.完形填空(2020·長沙統(tǒng)一模擬)Steve was a seventh grader, a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a 12­year­old.
