We humans are a curius species. as NASA says n its website, Humans are driven t explre the unknwn, discver new wrlds, push the bundaries f ur scientific and technical limits, and then push further.
And space explratin is where we’ve been “pushing” ur furthest curisity.
2019 began with tw pieces f exciting space explratin news. On Jan. 3. China landed a spacecraft, Chang’e 4, n the mns far side-the side we can’t see frm earth--fr the first time in human histry. and accrding t a reprt published n Jan. 9 in Nature. scientists frm the Canadian Hydrgen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) detected repeated radi signals frm a galaxy 1. 5 billin light years away, pssibly sent by intelligent aliens.
Hwever, what’s even mre exciting than the news is the fact that whenever speaking f space explratin, we frget ur plitical and cultural differences-the things that s bsess us.
“When yu g int space, yu becme part f this verall cllective called ‘humanity’,” Ken Liu a Chinese-American sci-fi writer and translatr tld a website. “Yu’re n lnger Chinese. American Russian… Yur culture is left behind. Yu’re nw just ‘humanity’ with a capital ‘H’. ”
This magic has wrked all the way alng ur jurney int space. When the Us astrnaut Neil Armstrng (1930--2012) became the first human t set ft n the mn in 1969, fr example, he tld the wrld: That’s ne small step fr man, ne giant leap fr mankind. Nw, with Chang’e 4 tuching dwn n new mn territry China’s aim is t help scientists frm arund the wrld find ut mre abut Earth’s nly satellite. And with the discvery f the CHIME astrnmers, were ne step clser t answering a cmmn questin in science: “Are humans alne in the universe?” It’s true that we are a curius species. But instead f being curius abut the “unknwn”, perhaps we’re really mre eager t “push further” ur wn human" “bundaries” and “limits”.

Artemis is NASA’s new lunar explratin prgram. Thrugh the Artemis prgram，NASA will use new technlgy t study the mn in new and better ways，and prepare fr human missins t Mars.
NASAS new rcket will carry the Orin spacecraft t the lunar rbit. Then，astrnauts will dck（对接）Orin at a small spaceship called the Gateway，frm which the crew will take trips t the lunar surface in a new human landing system and then return t the Gateway. The crew will return t Earth abard Orin.
NASA Will test the rcket and the spacecraft in flight，and then send a crew fr a test flight.
Artemis 1 will be a test flight f the SLS rcket with the Orin spacecraft with n crew.
Artemis 2 will fly SLS and Orin with a crew past the Mn，then circle it and return t Earth. This trip will be the farthest f the trips where any human has gne int space.
Artemis 3 will send a crew with the first wman and the next man t land n the mn by2024.
The Artemis 3 crew will visit the Mn’s Suth Ple. N ne has ever been there. On the mn astrnauts will:
Search fr the mns water and use it.
Learn hw t live and wrk n the surface f anther celestial bdy（天体）where astrnauts are just three days frm hme.
Test the technlgies we need befre sending astrnauts n missins t mars which can take up t three years rund trip.
The Mn is a gd place t learn new science Nasa will learn mre abut the mn. Earth and even the sun The mn is a “test bed” fr Mars. The Mn is a place t shw that astrnauts will ne day be able t wrk away frm Earth n Mars fr lng perids f time.
5. What is the aim f the Artemis prgram?
A. T help astrnauts return t Earth.
B. T be ready fr the landing n Mars.
C. T study Mars using new science.
D. T test the Mn landing spacecraft, Orin.
6. Which will be the achievement f the Artemis series.
A Ging t the mn’s Suth ple.
B. Making the first trip int space.
C. Sending the first man t the mn.
D. Flying t the Mn with fur persns.
7. What will Artemis astrnauts d n the mn?
A. Send astrnauts t mars.
B. Run a three-year-lng test.
C. Find and make use f water.
D. Learn t live nt far frm hme.
8. What can we cnclude frm the text?
A. It is pssible t live n anther planet nw.
B. The crew will reach the lunar surface frm Orin.
C. NASA has sent the first wman astrnaut t the Mn.
D. The Artemis prgram is f great help in Mars explring.

When thinking abut placing a human being in space. ne f the mst imprtant questins is hw t design special clthing needed t prtect the persn frm the dangers f the space envirnment. 1 The fierce heat f the sun can cause severe burns. The lack f the atmsphere can cause gases in the bdy t expand and even burst. With n xygen t breathe，a human being will die in nly a few mments. 2 S is damage frm small pieces f rcks and bjects like meterids（流星体）. In1933，an American flyer，Wiley Pst，designed ne f the first successful devices t prtect a pilt at extreme heights. 3 Astrnauts in the American space agency flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clthing was similar t that invented by Wiley Pst.
4 It lets them mve d useful tasks and stay utside their spacecraft in cmfrt and safety fr several hurs. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mbility unit r EMU. It was designed t endure lnger and t permit mre mvement than earlier spacesuits. The EMU has a number f parts that an astrnaut can link tgether by using nly ne hand which makes it pssible fr each astrnaut t select the parts that fit crrectly. Nwadays, NASA scientists are als cnsidering the kind f spacesuit that wuld be needed fr explratin n the planet Mars. 5 The equipment may als have t prtect astrnauts frm particles carried in the wind n mars And, they must be easy t repair and keep clean during a lnger fli ght t and frm the red planet.
A. Radiatin frm the sun is anther risk in space.
B. The cld f space will freeze skin in a shrt time.
C. Tday, astrnauts wear very different prtective clthing.
D. Special spacesuits have been used fr explratin f Mars.
E. EMU has many parts that can be linked tgether by using tw hands.
F. It was a large device that lked like a can surrunded the pilts head.
G. Because f the gravity n Mars, spacesuits may have t be designed t be lighter than suits used in rbit r n the mn.

参考答案：
I. A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述太空探索是人类共同的事业，这里没有政治、国家的边界，只有人类这概念。
1. C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句中 scientists frm the Canadian Hydrgen Intensity Mapping Experiment CHIME）detected repeated radi signals frm a galaxy 1. 5 billin light years away，pssibly sent by intelligent aliens.来自加拿大氢强度测绘实验（CHME）的科学家检测到来自15亿光年外星系的重复无线电信号，可能是由有智慧的外星人发出的。由此可见，科学家们发现了来自遥远星系的重复无线电信号。故选C。
2. B 推理判断题。根据文章第五段可知，美籍华裔科幻作家兼翻译家刘肯（Ken liu）说：“当你进入太空时，你会成为这个被称为人类的集体的一部分，你不再是中国人、美国人俄罗斯人……你的文化被抛在了脑后。你现在只是’人类’的一个大写字母H’。”由此可见，作者引用 Ken liu的话是为了证明在太空中我们只是人类。故选B。
3. A推理判断题。根据文章第六段中 And with the discvery f the Chime astrnmers we re ne step clser t answering a cmmn questin in science："Are humans alne in the universe？”可知，随着CHME天文学家的发现，我们离回答科学中的一个常见问题又近了一步：宇宙中只有人类吗？进步证实了作者的观点。故选A。
4. C 主旨大意题。根据这篇文章大意可知，本文主要讲述太空探索是人类共同的事业，这里没有政治、国家的边界，只有人类这一概念。故选C。
B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了NASA新的月球探索计划 Artemis。通过 Artemis计划，美国将用新技术以更好的方式研究月球，并为前往火星做准备。
5. B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，Artemis是NASA新的月球探索计划。通过 Artemis计划，NASA将使用新技术以新的和更好的方式研究月球，并为人类前往火星的任务做准备，故选B。
6. A 细节理解题。根据文中的 The Artemis3 crew will visit the mn’s Suth ple可知选A。
7. C 细节理解题。根据文中的 Search fr the mn’s water and use it可知选C。
8. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，月球是学习新科学的好地方。NASA将更多地了解月球、地球，甚至太阳。月球是火星的“试验台”。月球是一个表明宇航员有朝一日能够远离地球在火星上工作很长一段时间的地方。由此可推断出 Artemis计划对火星探索有很大帮助。故选D。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。当考虑把一个人放到太空时，最重要的问题之一是如何设计特殊的服装来保护这个人免受太空环境的危害。
1. B 第一段主要讲述了太空环境的危险因素，如空后讲的酷热、缺氧等。根据段意，B项符合语境，寒冷会在短时间内冻住皮肤，这是太空环境的一项危险因素。
2. A 该空仍旧是列举太空环境的危险因素，结合下一句信息S is damage frm small pieces f rcks and bjects like meterids（流星体）. 可知A项符合语境。
3. F 根据上一句的信息词 devices，并结合F项中的代词It和device等信息，可以判断F项符合语境。
4. C 该空是该段的主题句。由后文可知，该段介绍的是有关太空防护服的事情。因此C项符合语境。
5. G 根据该空前一句的信息词 the kind f spacesuit以及后一句的意思可知，此空也应该表示一项防护措施，因此G项符合语境。
