In the past years, Chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had for thousands of years.     After China’s first satellite into the Earth’s orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned Shenzhou missions from 1999 to 2002.The country carried out its first one-piloted space flight in 0ctober, 2003, making China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and the United States. Then came another breakthrough oil October 12,2005,when Shenzhou 6, China’s’ second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. What’s more, the landmark(里程碑)spacewalk done by Zhai Zhigang ,one of the three boarding Shenzhou 7, launched on Sept.25,2008,Leads the country further in its space exploration.    Meanwhile, China’s moon exploration project, started in 2004, has also been progressing satisfactorily. Fifry years after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world’s first man made satellite, China’s first circumlunar(绕月的)satellite Chang’e l took off on Oct.24,2007,which became another milestone in China’s space achievements after the. above-men-tioned manned flights. Chang’e l was expected to fulfill four scientific goals, one of which was to probe(探测)mineral elements on the moon, especially those not existent on the Earth. It’s said that the 1unar regolith(月壤)is abundant in helium-3, a clean fuel that may support the Earth’s energy demands for more than a century. Nearly 3 years later,Oct.1.2010 witnessed the blasting off of Chang’e 2.China’s 2nd unmanned lunar probe, marking another step forward in moon exploration. This time the aim is to test the key techniques of Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4, as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future.    With great expectations, people all over the world are looking forward to China’s greater space achievements.(1)According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. China sent its first satellite into the moon’s orbit in 1970.B. China is the third country in Asia to make human spaceflight.C. By now, altogether 5 astronauts have made successful spaceflight by Shenzhou spaceship.D. The launching of Chang’e l became the third milestone in China’s space achievements.(2)Paragraph 2 mainly deals with information about China’s______________.A. landmark spacewalk                     B. manned Shenzhou missionsC. first circumlunar satellite               D. unmanned Shenzhou missions(3)We can infer from the text that_______________.A. China’s road to outer space has not been very smooth for a long timeB. the lunar regolith is believed to be rich in a clean flue called helium-3C. China’s lunar exploration project was started in 2004 and completed in 2007D. China’s scientists are researching into techniques for soft lunar landing(4)What can be the best title for the text.A. Ancient Chinese’s DreamB. China’s Major Space AchievementsC. China’s Moon ExplorationD. The World’s Great Expectations 【解析】  这篇文章回顾了中国太空探索所取得的成就——神舟号载人飞行和嫦娥探月卫星的成功发射。 (1)D正误判断题。根据第二段中的"first one-piloted space flight in October，2003"以及"Then came another breakthrough on October 12,2005"，再结合第三段中的"Chang’e 1... which became another milestone... "可知"嫦娥一号"的成功发射是中国太空探索的第三个里程碑。(2)B段落大意题。该段主要介绍了第一次载人航天飞行以及“神舟六号”和“神舟七号”载人航天飞行，故选B项。(3)D推理判断题。A、B两项是直接信息，故排除。由文章倒数第二段最后一句内容可推知：中国科学家正在研究在月球上软着陆技术。(4)B主旨大意题。这篇文章围绕“神舟号载人飞行和嫦娥探月卫星发射”而展开，故B项作为标题最合适。 **********************************************************结束单选题 高考预练1. —I put him down for a well-educated man.—___________ ?—I mean that he's a well-educated man.A.
