Module 5 The Conquest of the Universe ‎ (建议用时：35分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2020·大连一模)Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon—a 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.‎ Dobek’s 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 Dobek’s design. A simulator(模拟装置) 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.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了小学生Emilia Dobek设计太空站，并赢得挑战的相关内容。‎ ‎1．Dobek first became interested in space when ________．‎ A．she was still a seventh grader 7‎ B．she studied at a junior high school C．she lived on the top of their house D．she watched an eclipse of the moon D　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon—a total lunar eclipse(月食)—on the roof of their house.”可知，Dobek对太空感兴趣是从她三年级时的一个晚上观看一次月食开始的。‎ ‎2．Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because ________．‎ A．she knew Dobek liked challenges in life B．she had no other students interested in Mars C．Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts D．she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段Smeeton的话可推知，她对Dobek很了解，对其可以接受这项挑战并出色完成充满信心。‎ ‎3．What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?‎ A．The environment on Mars.‎ B．The safety of the supplies.‎ C．The activities for astronauts.‎ D．The comfort of the astronauts.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“make sure their comfort is out of this world”并结合对倒数第二段的整体理解可推知，Dobek的设计包含身体和休闲活动，让宇航员在太空中也能感到舒适。‎ B ‎(2020·兰州高三诊断)A new chapter opened in mankind’s exploration of the moon on Thursday morning as the first probe(航天探测器) to land on the moon’s far side reached its destination after a 26day journey. The Chang’e 4 lunar probe, representing China’s 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 probe’s lander(着陆器), marking the world’s 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 Chang’e 4’s 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 7‎ ‎ desire to closely observe the lesser known region.‎ Tidal(潮汐的)forces on Earth slow the moon’s 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 China’s lunar program, said in Beijing on Thursday that the landing “was perfect”. He called the event “an important milestone for China’s 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 Chang’e 4 mission will enable scientists to find out what they haven’t known about the moon and deepen their knowledge of its early history and of the solar system.‎ ‎【解题导语】　嫦娥四号探测器在月球背面着陆，这标志着中国探月工程的巨大进步，同时也为人类了解月球的背面提供了信息。‎ ‎4．What is the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A．The basic data of the Chang’e 4 lunar probe.‎ B．The Chang’e 4’s worldfirst landing on the moon’s far side.‎ C．The Chang’e 4’s 26day visit to the far side of the moon.‎ D．The description of the photos taken on the surface of the moon’s far side.‎ B　解析：段落大意题。根据第一段第一句“A new chapter opened in mankind’s exploration of the moon on Thursday morning as the first probe(航天探测器) to land on the moon’s far side reached its destination after a 26day journey.”可知，本段主要介绍了嫦娥四号实现了人类首次在月球背面着陆。故选B。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?‎ A．The lander.‎ B．The rover.‎ C．The far side of the moon.‎ D．The Chang’e 4 lunar probe.‎ C　解析：代词指代题。根据第三段的第二句“The other side, most of which is never visible from Earth, is the far side of the moon.”以及画线词所在句中的“While it has been photographed by spacecraft”可知，it在这里指代“the far side of the moon”，故选C。‎ 7‎ ‎6．What can we infer from this text?‎ A．It is only on the moon that people can explore the deep space.‎ B．The scientific information obtained by Chang’e 4 will be new to the world.‎ C．It is the first time for people to see the pictures of the far side of the moon.‎ D．Chinese space technology is more advanced than that of any other country’s.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的“marking the world’s first images taken on the surface of the far side”可知，嫦娥四号月球探测器发回的照片是世界上首次在月球背面拍摄的，由此可推知，B项正确。‎ ‎7．In which section of a website can we probably read this text?‎ A．Tourism.‎ B．Health Care.‎ C．Science and Technology.‎ D．Art and Entertainment.‎ C　解析：文章出处题。本文为新闻报道，介绍了嫦娥四号探测器首次在月球背面着陆，这标志着中国探月工程的巨大进步，由此可推知，本文可能出自一个网站的科技版面。故选C。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2020·长沙统一模拟)Steve was a seventh grader, a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a 12yearold.
