Space tourism (太空旅游业) is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. SpaceX is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into Space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space Here are some examples:
See the Earth from Space
Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth).
Stay in Space Hotel
Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right So if there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold up to 6 people at a time.
Eat in Space
Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp (打嗝) in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.
Visit the Moon and Other Planets
Space tourism companies are racing to launch the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our lifetime. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the moon.
With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Who knows what the future might be like Will you be the next person to travel to space
( )34. How many people did SpaceX send into space in April, 2022

C [2023 泰安]
China has sent the final section of its Tiangong space station into space. After a 13-hour trip, the new section, known as Mengtian, docked (对接) with Tiangong space station on the early morning of November 1st, 2022, finally completing it. The new section was launched from Hainan Island in the south of China.
For years, China has been working hard to create its own space station. Last year, China began to launch three modules (舱) of Tiangong space station, one at a time. The main module, Tianhe, was launched in April 2021. It holds the power source and main controls for the station, as well as the astronauts’ living area. In July 2022, China launched its first laboratory module, Wentian, which is the country’s largest ever spacecraft.
The new module, Mengtian (meaning “dreaming of the heavens”), is also designed as a laboratory. It is about 18 meters long and has 8 special research areas for experiments (实验). Mengtian is set up so that experiments can also be run outside the module itself. Chinese astronauts can use special robotic arms to run experiments from inside Tiangong.
China’s space program is working with the European Space Agency on some experiments on the Mengtian, China says that one day, foreign astronauts will also be able to visit Tiangong.
Tiangong space station is expected to last 10 to 15 years. Though the Mengtian module completes the station, China could add more modules in the future.
China’s space program has grown greatly in recent years with a series of successes. In 2020, for example, its Chang’e 5 probe returned to the earth carrying moon rocks. Those were the first moon samples brought to the earth since the 1970s.
( )38. The meaning of the underlined word“ launched” in the first paragraph is the closest to “______”.
A. sent up B. landed
C. taken off D. set up
( )39. Which module is the astronauts’ living area in
A. Tianhe. B. Wentian.
C. Mengtian. D. It is not mentioned.
( )40. When was China’s largest spacecraft launched
A. In 2020. B. In April 2021.
C. In July 2022. D. On November 1st, 2022.
( )41. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. No more modules can be docked with Tiangong in the future.
B. Chang’e 5 probe brought moon rocks back to the earth in 2020.
C. China created Tiangong space station together with European Space Agency.
D. Chinese astronauts can’t use robotic arms to run experiments from inside Tiangong.
D [2023 常州]
Sending astronauts to Mars is a big challenge. Astronauts will have to take everything they need, including food, air and water. The room inside the spaceship is too limited to hold many things. So packing a spaceship is a huge challenge for a trip to Mars.
Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking and washing. They’ll also need water to protect themselves from space rays which can pass right through spaceship walls and harm astronauts’ living cells. But a layer of water placed around the ship can stop the harm.
That’s a lot of water. And sending water into space is too expensive. It costs $33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars. The more you take, the more it costs. We have the technology to get to Mars, but the problem is that it’s too expensive.
But Flynn, an engineer at NASA, thinks he has a way of solving the problem. Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of stuff (物料), why not use the stuff as part of the spaceship
Imagine a spaceship that blows up like a balloon. Inside, the walls have pockets like a big honeycomb (蜂巢). These hold lots of plastic bags filled with water, dried food and algae (水藻). All these make hard walls and great radiation (辐射) protection. And stopping radiation doesn’t influence the food or water itself — it’s safe to eat and drink. And what if the same water could be reused again and again Flynn and his team call their packed-pocket idea Water Walls.
Making oxygen and taking away CO2 — the waste gas you breathe out — is another problem in space. “Water Walls will take away CO2 the same way it’s done here on our Earth — with living plants,” Flynn says. Living plants take in CO2 to make their food, and give off oxygen. “Plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft, so we use algae,” he says.
Algae are tiny plants that live in water. The algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by human waste and sunlight, eating up CO2 and making oxygen for the astronauts to breathe.
Flynn thinks his onboard recycling system has many advantages. He hopes it will help make flying to Mars a reality very soon.
( )42. What does the underlined phrase “packing a spaceship” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Repairing things in a spaceship. B. Recycling things in a spaceship.
C. Checking things in a spaceship. D. Putting things into a spaceship.
( )43. What is the advantage of Flynn’s system
A. Cost is saved. B. Travelling time is saved.
C. Plastic bags are saved. D. Food is saved.
( )44. What is one purpose of Flynn’s idea of Water Walls
A. To prevent space rays during the space trip.
B. To make the whole spaceship stronger.
C. To control the temperature in the spaceship.
D. To produce water in the spaceship.
( )45. Why are algae put in the plastic bags
A. To prevent water from being polluted.
B. To serve as food for astronauts.
C. To provide oxygen for astronauts.
D. To help other plants grow in a spaceship.

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets For years, scientists said “No.” or “We don’t know.” 46. _______ Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets 47. _______ Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size — the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies (银河系),” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. 48. _______”

Have beings from space already visited Earth “Probably not,” says Shostak. “50. _______ However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
A. The first reason is time.B. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.C. It’s a long way away.D. These planets might have intelligent life.E. But today we have found some beings.F. But today this is changing.G. The first reason is that we don’t have enough time.

六、范文：
A Guide to Living on Jupiter
As we know, there is no life on Jupiter now. But by the year 2300, we might move to Jupiter. Here is a guide to living on Jupiter.
The weather on Jupiter is very cold. We would wear special clothes to keep warm. We would eat dried food. It wouldn’t go bad, but it wouldn’t be delicious. We would live in big rooms and have much space. The transport on Jupiter would be better than that on the Earth. There would be fewer people. The specially designed travel tools could arrive everywhere. We could go anywhere easily. We would use Jupiter money. And everything would be expensive, because everything must be taken from the Earth. But we could work to get much money.
The life on Jupiter would be wonderful. Would you like to move there
作文点评：本文采用“三步法”畅想人们在木星上的生活状况。首先引出话题, 人们可能在2300 年移居木星；接着围绕衣、食、住、行等方面介绍在木星上的生活状况, 这样使得文章层次分明；最后作者用一个形容词wonderful 和一个疑问句, 希望激发人们对在木星上生活的向往。
添彩点：文中画线词句是本文的添彩点。
