资源简介 UNIT 4 SPACE EXPLORATIONⅠ.阅读理解A At six years old, Jerry Morrison is already shooting for the stars.“I want to live on another planet,” Jerry told his uncle, Joey Jefferson, at StoryCorps in November. Jefferson, 29, also fell in love with space at an early age.It started with a space ship toy his mother gave him when he was a kid.Today he’s a mission operations engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Jefferson, who lives in California, and Jerry, who lives in Florida, meet up a few times a year, and their conversations are always about their shared love for space. “What kind of planet would you live on?” Jerry asked his uncle at StoryCorps. “Of course everybody’s going to say Mars, right? Are you gonna say Mars?” Jefferson replied. No, Jerry wants to live much farther from Mars: on an exoplanet (a planet beyond of the solar system) called Kepler-452b.NASA announced its discovery of the Earth-like planet in 2015. “There’re a lot of stars and a lot of exoplanets that we got to find, and so we need people like you to keep doing what you’re doing,” Jefferson told Jerry. Jefferson wants his nephew to not only hold on to his curiosity but also share what he learns with others.And Jerry has already gotten the chance to do that.As a kindergartner last year, he taught a lesson to the fifth graders in his school about the planets of the solar system. “It was a big opportunity for me,” Jerry said.“I feel so proud.” Jerry said he learns about space from his uncle.“I learned from you a lot, like more than I could imagine,” Jerry said. “You’re learning so much by yourself, too, and you’re teaching me as well,” Jefferson said.“And that’s really cool.The more you learn, the more we realise the little things in life we take for granted are the very things that make life possible.So when I look up in the stars, I think about that.”1.What made Jerry Morrison and Joey Jefferson meet now and then?( )A.A short distance. B.A similar lifestyle.C.A close relationship. D.A common interest.2.What can we learn about Jerry Morrison?( )A.He was very stubborn. B.He was very ambitious.C.He would work at NASA. D.He was influenced by his mother.3.What made Jerry feel very proud?( )A.Sharing his knowledge. B.Having strong curiosity.C.Knowing a lot about space. D.Having a lesson about space.4.Which word can best describe Jefferson according to the last paragraph?( )A.Generous. B.Humorous.C.Modest. D.Hardworking.B (2025·杭州模拟)Fire threats and environmental concerns have prompted some US cities to give up traditional Fourth of July fireworks in favor of spectacular drone (无人机) light shows this year. Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more and more cities for Fourth of July celebrations don’t leave behind a blanket of smoke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its worst in decades.Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there’re plenty of other reasons people may want to avoid traditional fireworks. “Fireworks can be harmful to folks who suffer from PTSD or families who have dogs.Salt Lake City has more households with dogs than we do with kids,” said Lynze Twede, an events manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands.The Southern California cities of La Jolla and Ocean Beach also cited animals as a key driver behind their switch to a July Fourth drone show: A 2017 lawsuit claimed that local sea lion pups were bothered by the booming sounds. There’s also the risk of starting actual fires with annual fireworks shows.An estimated 12,264 fires were started by fireworks displays in 2021. But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not from grand public displays, but from the small-scale shows set off on streets and sidewalks.Consumer-grade fireworks usage spiked across the US in recent years, when people looked for ways to celebrate life’s milestones in their own backyards. Trying something new has been met with mixed reaction from the community but, as Dan Kingdom, owner of WK Real Estate in Boulder, says,“The turn away from fireworks is considered by many to be the way of the future.Drones are reusable, and with fireworks, you have smoke, other fallout like debris, the noise stresses out dogs and people with PTSD.” It may be too early to tell how the new trend in alternatives at the city level may get close to smaller shows and consumers, but price is a limiting factor: Those high-tech displays are expensive.5.What is the top consideration of people in Ocean Beach when choosing drone shows?( )A.Reducing fire risks.B.Protecting animals.C.Improving air quality.D.Preventing noise pollution.6.What can we learn about America from the last three paragraphs?( )A.Drones will replace fireworks very soon.B.Small-scale shows lead to more wildfires.C.The usage of fireworks has been on the decrease.D.Grand public displays cause the most wildfires.7.What is Dan Kingdom’s attitude to choosing drone light shows for celebration?( )A.Doubtful. B.Confused.C.Supportive. D.Surprised.8.What is the passage mainly about?( )A.How Americans celebrate special events. B.The harm fireworks have done to America.C.The development of drone shows in America. D.Why US cities choose drones instead of fireworks.C For most people, getting to the stars is nothing more than a dream.On 28 April 2001, Dennis Tito achieved that lifelong goal — but he wasn’t a typical astronaut.Tito, a wealthy businessman, paid $20 million for a seat on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to be the first tourist to visit the International Space Station.Only seven people have followed suit in the 20 years since, but that number is about to double in the next 12 months alone. NASA has long been hesitant to play host to space tourists, so Russia has been the only option available for those looking for this kind of extreme adventure.However, it seems the rise of private space companies is going to make it easier for regular people to experience space. Personally, I see the beginning of an era in which more people can experience space.With companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin hoping to build a future for humanity in space, space tourism is a way to demonstrate both the safety and reliability of space travel to the general public. Flights to space like Dennis Tito’s are expensive for a reason.A rocket must burn a lot of costly fuel to travel high and fast enough to enter Earth’s orbit. Another cheaper possibility is a suborbital (亚轨道) launch, with the rocket going high enough to reach the edge of space and coming right back down.While passengers on a suborbital trip experience weightlessness and incredible views, these launches are more accessible. To our joy, three companies led by billionaire CEOs have emerged as the major players: Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, and SpaceX. Now, SpaceX has two tourist launches planned.These trips will be costly, at $55 million for the flight.Blue Origin’s and Virgin Galactic’s suborbital trips are far more reasonable in cost, with both priced between $200,000 and $250,000.Though these prices are high, it is worth considering that Dennis Tito’s $20 million ticket in 2001 could pay for 100 flights on Blue Origin soon.The experience of viewing the Earth from space, though, may prove to be priceless for a whole new generation of space explorers.9.What makes space travel easier for common people?( )A.Russia’s exploration in space. B.NASA’s accepting space tourists.C.The first space tour made by Dennis Tito. D.The appearance of private space companies.10.What’s the author’s attitude to space tourism?( )A.Positive. B.Curious.C.Worried. D.Doubtful.11.What can we learn about a suborbital launch?( )A.It will increase the cost. B.It will lower the standards.C.It will offer a better experience. D.It will make people travel farther.12.What does the author think of Blue Origin’s and Virgin Galactic’s suborbital trips?( )A.They are unreasonably expensive.B.They are relatively cheaper indeed.C.They are not worth the money.D.They are affordable to the public.Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2025·烟台模拟)You will be leaving this school in June this year and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is, “So, what do you want to be?” 13.( ) But many of you still don’t have a clue! Here are some things you might want to consider. First, does the career you are considering have staying power? Will it be in demand in 20 years? Rapid technological change is disruptive (破坏性的). 14.( ) While many occupations are being taken over by new technology, jobs that require high-level of critical thinking, emotional intelligence and human interaction remain in high demand. These jobs are more adaptable and not easily replaced by machines or technology. Second, choose a career that interests you. Some people might think this is unimportant, but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won’t seem a chore. It’s also likely that you will stay and grow in this career. Before making a choice, you should examine your values, skills and personality type.15.( ) Third, of course you will want to consider your chosen profession’s earning power! Although high pay plays a part, you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top, much more effort and a higher level of stress.16.( ) If you have interests outside of work, or are struggling with other demands in your life, you might want to choose a less taxing line of work. 17.( ) Let me leave you with an old saying,“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”A.We need to be forward-looking at our future prospects.B.Some of you may have already decided on a career path.C.Trying different work can help you find out your favorite job.D.This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.E.Only the truly motivated will likely be able to meet these challenges.F.People’s wages are lower in industries with slow technological change.G.Thinking about a lifelong career at this stage in your life is surely challenging.UNIT 4 SPACE EXPLORATIONⅠ.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了叔侄二人对太空的向往和对外星球的兴趣。1.D 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Jerry Morrison之所以经常和叔叔Joey Jefferson见面是因为他们有共同的兴趣爱好。2.B 推理判断题。根据第六段可知,Jerry Morrison的梦想是到达比火星更远的外行星,比叔叔的梦想更加远大。3.A 细节理解题。根据第八、九段可知,上幼儿园的Jerry Morrison去年在自己的学校给五年级的孩子上了一节关于太阳系行星的课,这让他感到非常自豪。4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Joey Jefferson听到侄子Jerry Morrison的感谢后,不但不居功,而且说侄子也教给他很多东西。由此可推知,他非常谦虚。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。火灾隐患和对环境的担忧促使美国一些城市放弃了传统的7月4日烟花表演,今年取而代之的是壮观的无人机灯光表演。5.B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,在南加州的La Jolla和Ocean Beach,(保护)动物是他们选择7月4日无人机表演的关键驱动因素。6.B 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,在美国,大部分野火风险不是来自大型的公共烟火表演,而是来自街道和人行道上的小型烟火表演;另外,近年来,美国消费级烟花的使用量在激增。7.C 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段可知,Dan Kingdom认为,远离烟花是未来的趋势;另外,他还指出了使用无人机灯光表演的诸多优点。因此,Dan Kingdom对于选择无人机灯光秀来庆祝的态度是支持的。8.D 主旨大意题。综合全文可知,本文主要分析了美国一些城市放弃了传统的7月4日烟花表演而代之以无人机灯光表演的原因。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。随着民营航天业的发展,太空之旅离我们越来越近了。9.D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,民营航天业的崛起,将使得人们未来的太空之旅变得越来越容易。10.A 观点态度题。根据第三段可知,作者很看好未来太空旅游业的前景,他认为太空旅游将是安全和可靠的。因此,作者对太空旅游业的态度是积极肯定的。11.B 推理判断题。第四段指出,太空旅游对速度和高度要求都很高,成本也极其高昂;第五段提出另一种比较便宜可行的方案——亚轨道发射。由此推知,它必然是为了降低成本而降低了发射标准。12.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,虽然Blue Origin和Virgin Galactic这两家公司的票价也很高昂,但是与Dennis Tito 2001年的票价相比就低得多了。Ⅱ.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在选择职业道路的时候你可能需要考虑的事情。13.B 根据下句But many of you still don’t have a clue!中的转折连词But可知,上下句有转折关系,故B项符合语境。14.A 上句提出技术变革会改变职业,要考虑未来可能的变化,A项承接上文,提出要展望职业前景,符合语境。15.D 上文提出选择职业前要进行自我评估,D项承接上文,说明这样做的好处,D项中的This指代上文中的examine your values, skills and personality type。16.E 上文提出与高薪相伴的是更多的付出与挑战,E项承接上文,说明什么样的人才能迎接这些挑战。E项中的these challenges与上文require more time to get to the top, much more effort and a higher level of stress相呼应。故E项符合语境。17.G 最后一段是对全文的总结。G项先说明选择一项一生从事的职业是很有挑战性的,然后引用一句名言来提出忠告并鼓励我们。4 / 4Part Ⅰ 一维重点突破 As is known to all, Yang Liwei is the first Chinese astronaut (send) into space.To become an astronaut, he had a lot of mental, intelligent and physical training.Therefore, he not only knows about the universe, the solar system and our globe, but also understands rockets, satellites, spacecrafts, gravity and so on.Finally , he must be (determine) and have a strong desire to succeed.After a spacecraft (launch) , he makes sure it goes in the right orbit. 微技能热身 1.①处应填 。 2.②处Finally与本单元短语 同义。 3.③处应填 。 4.④处应填 。句型公式:动词不定式作后置定语【教材原句】 Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space, and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to enter space.后来,苏联集中力量把人送入太空,1961年4月12日,尤里·加加林成为世界上第一个进入太空的人。【写美】 微写作①约翰是第一个想到做爆米花来帮伯纳德挣外快的人。他深信自己有能力帮助伯纳德摆脱困境。John was the first person to help Bernard earn some extra money.He was convinced that he had the ability .②首先,我是我们班第一个在国外学习的学生,因此我有能力用英语流利地和其他人交流。Firstly, I am the first student in my class , so I have the ability fluently in English.【归纳】(1)当中心词是序数词或被序数词、形容词最高级或the next、 the only、 the last等修饰时,常用动词不定式作后置定语。(2)抽象名词time、 way、 ability、 reason、 chance、 courage、 opportunity等后常用动词不定式作后置定语。【佳句】 She was the first woman astronaut to give a video lecture in space while orbiting in the capsule.她是第一位在太空舱中绕地球飞行时进行视频讲座的女性宇航员。desire n.渴望;欲望vt.渴望;期望【练通】 单句语法填空①Young people have a stronger desire a better life and are more skilled in using the Internet to look for business opportunities.②(2023·北京卷)When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my (desire) research direction.【写美】 微写作③如果你渴望用英语无障碍地与外国人交流,我呼吁你立即加入我们的英语口语俱乐部。If you desire , I appeal to you to join our Spoken English Club right away.【归纳】(1)have a strong desire(2)desire to do sth 渴望做某事desire that ...(should) do sth 希望……做某事【佳句】 As I had a strong desire to learn a new skill, I turned to my mother for help, with whose help I began to learn how to cook during the summer vacation.

Jefferson, 29, also fell in love with space at an early age.It startedwith a space ship toy his mother gave him when he was a kid.Today he’sa mission operations engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Jefferson, who lives in California, and Jerry, who lives inFlorida, meet up a few times a year, and their conversations are alwaysabout their shared love for space. “What kind of planet would you live on?” Jerry asked his uncle atStoryCorps. “Of course everybody’s going to say Mars, right? Are yougonna say Mars?” Jefferson replied. No, Jerry wants to live much farther from Mars: on an exoplanet(a planet beyond of the solar system) called Kepler-452b.NASAannounced its discovery of the Earth-like planet in 2015. “There’re a lot of stars and a lot of exoplanets that we got to find,and so we need people like you to keep doing what you’re doing,”Jefferson told Jerry. Jefferson wants his nephew to not only hold on to his curiosity butalso share what he learns with others.And Jerry has already gotten thechance to do that.As a kindergartner last year, he taught a lesson to thefifth graders in his school about the planets of the solar system. “It was a big opportunity for me,” Jerry said.“I feel soproud.” Jerry said he learns about space from his uncle.“I learned from youa lot, like more than I could imagine,” Jerry said. “You’re learning so much by yourself, too, and you’reteaching me as well,” Jefferson said.“And that’s really cool.Themore you learn, the more we realise the little things in life we take forgranted are the very things that make life possible.So when I look up inthe stars, I think about that.”语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了叔侄二人对太空的向往和对外星球的兴趣。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了叔侄二人对太空的向往和对外星球的兴趣。1.

Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more andmore cities for Fourth of July celebrations don’t leave behind a blanket ofsmoke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its worst indecades.Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there’re plentyof other reasons people may want to avoid traditional fireworks. “Fireworks can be harmful to folks who suffer from PTSD orfamilies who have dogs.Salt Lake City has more households with dogsthan we do with kids,” said Lynze Twede, an events manager for SaltLake City Public Lands.The Southern California cities of La Jolla andOcean Beach also cited animals as a key driver behind their switch to aJuly Fourth drone show: A 2017 lawsuit claimed that local sea lion pupswere bothered by the booming sounds. There’s also the risk of starting actual fires with annual fireworksshows.An estimated 12,264 fires were started by fireworks displays in2021. But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not fromgrand public displays, but from the small-scale shows set off on streetsand sidewalks.Consumer-grade fireworks usage spiked across the US inrecent years, when people looked for ways to celebrate life’s milestonesin their own backyards. Trying something new has been met with mixed reaction from thecommunity but, as Dan Kingdom, owner of WK Real Estate inBoulder, says,“The turn away from fireworks is considered by manyto be the way of the future.Drones are reusable, and with fireworks,you have smoke, other fallout like debris, the noise stresses out dogsand people with PTSD. ” It may be too early to tell how the new trend in alternatives at the citylevel may get close to smaller shows and consumers, but price is alimiting factor: Those high-tech displays are expensive.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。火灾隐患和对环境的担忧促使美国一些城市放弃了传统的7月4日烟花表演,今年取而代之的是壮观的无人机灯光表演。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。火灾隐患和对环境的担忧促使美国一些城市放弃了传统的7月4日烟花表演,今年取而代之的是壮观的无人机灯光表演。5.

NASA has long been hesitant to play host to space tourists, soRussia has been the only option available for those looking for this kind ofextreme adventure.However, it seems the rise of private spacecompanies is going to make it easier for regular people to experiencespace. Personally, I see the beginning of an era in which more people canexperience space.With companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin hoping tobuild a future for humanity in space, space tourism is a way todemonstrate both the safety and reliability of space travel to the generalpublic. Flights to space like Dennis Tito’s are expensive for a reason.Arocket must burn a lot of costly fuel to travel high and fast enough to enterEarth’s orbit. Another cheaper possibility is a suborbital (亚轨道) launch, withthe rocket going high enough to reach the edge of space and coming rightback down.While passengers on a suborbital trip experienceweightlessness and incredible views, these launches are more accessible. To our joy, three companies led by billionaire CEOs have emergedas the major players: Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, and SpaceX. Now, SpaceX has two tourist launches planned.These trips will becostly, at $55 million for the flight.Blue Origin’s and VirginGalactic’s suborbital trips are far more reasonable in cost, with bothpriced between $200,000 and $250,000.Though these prices arehigh, it is worth considering that Dennis Tito’s $20 million ticket in2001 could pay for 100 flights on Blue Origin soon.The experience ofviewing the Earth from space, though, may prove to be priceless for awhole new generation of space explorers.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。随着民营航天业的发展,太空之旅离我们越来越近了。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。随着民营航天业的发展,太空之旅离我们越来越近了。9.
