Recently our class had a heated discussion on whether space is worth exploring.Students hold different ideas about it.
Ten percent of the students think space exploration is not worthwhile，holding the belief that space exploration is too far away from our daily life and is a waste of money.
However，ninety percent think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it，such as using satellites for communication and weather forecasts.What's more，with further space research，we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day.
As far as I am concerned，it is worthwhile to explore space.Not only can it promote the development of society but it can also enrich our lives.

二、　读后续写

In low spirits I watched the workers packing things into our space vehicle.It was too bad that we had to move to Mars.I was hoping to get a puppy this summer，not a one-way ticket to a planet of red rocks.
“I know you're disappointed，Cassie，” Mum said.“But I've been offered my dream job.And the rocket is first-class.We can travel to Mars in eight days instead of eight months.We'll come back—finally.”
As Mum went to answer a worker's question，I sat and pulled grass from the ground.There was no grass on Mars，I thought.Or flowers.Or animals.There's almost nothing alive on that red wasteland！If only Mum wasn't an aeronautical(航空) engineer and Dad wasn't a climatologist(气象学家)．If they were zoologists，we could stay on Earth and hang out with animals!
Mum called，saying the vehicle was ready for launch.I walked slowly behind my parents.If only I had a puppy，then maybe moving to Mars wouldn't feel so awful.
The flight was fast！Soon we reached the red planet.Several of my parents' scientist friends welcomed us to space.We took a quick tour of the laboratories and everyone talked about things I didn't understand.Then，we paused at a door.Everyone stopped speaking and looked at me.Mum touched a button on the wall.

第一节
1．M：Mars moves slower than Earth.
W：Yes.①A day on Mars is about 37 minutes longer than a day on Earth.
2．M：②There is good news：trips to the moon can be done.I really desire to have a try next year for my birthday.
W：But I don't think your birthday gift will arrive that soon.
3．M：What are you going to do tomorrow
W：I'm going to visit the space museum.Will you come with me
M：I'd love to.③But my aunt is coming and I'll have to go to the airport to pick her up.
4．W：④We should do something to protect Earth from pollution.
M：I agree.If not，someday，we may have to live on Mars.
5．W：Luis，listen to the news ...⑤a Chinese spacecraft successfully landed on the surface of Mars on Saturday morning，marking a historic accomplishment in China's space industry and making it the second country in the world to achieve the feat.
M：Wow，congratulations! You must be very proud of your country.

M：⑥So，Anna，if you answer this question correctly，we'll put $10，000 in your bank account today.Are you ready
W：Yes.Please go ahead.
M：Well，here's the question.Who was the first woman to go into space
W：The answer is American astronaut Sally K．Ride.
M：Oh，Anna，I'm afraid that's incorrect.
W：I'm sorry，⑦I just remembered，Valentina Tereshkova.
M：⑦Yes，the Russian astronaut.I'm afraid I need to take your first answer.But you still walk away with $2，000.⑥Ladies and gentlemen，a round of applause for Anna Edison.
W：Thank you.

M：⑧Did you hear the 6 o'clock news
W：No，I didn't.Was there anything interesting
M：⑧They've built another space station. It will be put into use next year.
W：Oh，I've read about the plan somewhere.Is there anything else
M：Just think! Astronauts will live and do research work there.
W：Really？⑨But I wonder why you're interested in such things.
M：⑨I've always been.I hope to go to the moon one day.
W：Oh，I see.
(8.A　9.A)
听第8段材料，回答第10至12题。
M： So this is where the magic happens.

听第9段材料，回答第13至16题。
W：Dad, our science class is discussing space exploration. I was thinking about the moon landing—it feels like ancient history now.
M：1969, Apollo 11. It was groundbreaking. But what's truly remarkable is how the technology developed for space travel has improved daily life, like smartphone cameras and memory foam pillows.
W：Really I didn't know that. So, it's not just about competing
M：Not at all. The real goal is gaining knowledge. Take Mars missions—they're not about visiting soon, but about answering whether life ever existed there.
W：That makes sense. But with climate issues on Earth, should we spend so much up there
M：A fair point. But space research helps us too. Studying other planets improves our understanding of Earth's own climate systems.
W：I see the connection now. What do you think is the biggest challenge for the future, like deep space travel
M：For very long journeys, the biggest hurdle is not just the distance. It's protecting astronauts' health from radiation and zero-gravity effects. That's what scientists are working hard to solve.

听第10段材料，回答第17至20题。
W：NANJING—China's first comprehensive solar exploration satellite， ASO-S，was launched on October 9th, 2022，marking a major step in the country's space exploration.The satellite will operate in an orbit above Earth to maintain a view of the Sun 24 hours a day. It is expected to be in orbit for at least 4 years，according to Gan Weiqun，a researcher from the project.The Sun is the only star that can be studied in detail by humans.The vast majority of its radiation is blocked by Earth's atmosphere.Only by sending satellites into space can a complete picture of the Sun be presented for further
studies.The satellite will also realise its potential in space weather forecasting. Sun activities can be detected at least 40 hours ahead of their arrival by the satellite.This can help with early warnings of damage to Earth's environment.Since the 1960s，more than 70 satellites related to solar observation have been launched globally. The ASO-S is expected to fill China's gap in the field，according to Gan.

职业与人物关系题
1．这类题主要考查谈话一方所从事的职业或要求考生判断谈话双方之间的关系。做题时应注意以下几点：

(2)根据说话语气、行为、态度就能辨别出人物之间的身份关系，尤其是说话的语气，如：夫妻、师生、医生与病人、店主和顾客、老板和秘书等；
(3)注意地点状语，它有时也会暗示正确答案，平时应注意积累和总结，听到 drugstore, hospital, clinic就知道应该和医生、病人有关； 听到restaurant 就知道应该和服务员、顾客有关；
(4)注意不同职业的不同用语： waitress可能会谈到menu, food, order, wine等； policeman 可能会谈到tickets, driving license, lights等。
2．常见的设问方式：
Who is the man
What is the man
What's the man's profession
