5.抬头看
6．做出重要发现
Before the mid-20th century，most people felt travelling into space was only a dream that could never come true7. However，scientists were determined to8 realise that dream._______________On 4 October 1957，the Sputnik 1 satellite was launched by the USSR and successfully orbited around Earth. [3]Afterwards，the USSR focused on9 sending people into space，and on 12 April 1961，Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to enter space. [4]Over eight years later，on 20 July 1969，American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto10 the moon，famously saying，“That’s one small step for [a] man，one giant leap for mankind.” Following this，there were many more important space achievements. For example，on 5 September 1977，America’s NASA space agency11 launched Voyager 1 to study deep space，and it still transmits data12 to this day13. And the International Space Station (1998) has provided a continuous human presence in space，with astronauts from many different countries on board14.
[3]此句是and连接的并列句，不定式短语to enter space作后置定语，修饰名词the first person。

China’s space programme started later than those of Russia and the US，but it has made great progress19 in a short time. [7]China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003，when Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. [8]Then Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk，followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit being sent to the moon to study its surface. On 23 July 2020，China sent Tianwen 1 to explore the surface of20 Mars. It arrived in February 2021 and then sent back lots of valuable information21. And from 2021 to 2022，China completed a number of22 rocket missions to establish its own space station. In 2022，the launch of the Mengtian module signaled the basic completion of the Tiangong Space Station.[9]This modern space station will allow astronauts to23 conduct many important experiments，greatly furthering our understanding of the universe24.

A
The documentary(纪录片) Space：The Longest Goodbye explores the important role of ①psychologists in preparing astronauts for missions to the moon and Mars.Even though NASA carefully plans and analyzes technical aspects of space travel，such as launch windows and flight orbits，the mental health of astronauts remains hard to measure.
The necessity for ①psychological support became obvious as astronauts started spending more time away from Earth，particularly with the construction of the International Space Station in 1994.With future missions aiming for longer periods of time，such as the scheduled three-year journey to Mars，the emotional stress of ②separation from loved ones becomes a major concern.
Directed by Ido Mizrahy，the documentary investigates the history of NASA’s psychological team while following the experience of astronauts like Cady Coleman，a key member of NASA’s Artemis program.Coleman’s story，especially the ③painfully-moving moments of her video chats with her son，uncovers the emotional sufferings experienced by astronauts and their families due to space travel.In addition，astronauts are also observed day and night while on board the space station，adding to their psychological stress.
The film describes the strategies the team applied to deal with these challenges，such as developing companion robots to ease(缓解) loneliness，conducting desert simulations(模拟) to study interpersonal stress during long space missions and so on.There is a shocking large number of ideas being tested for the astronauts.
Throughout the documentary，viewers are treated to ④breathtaking photos of space，presented together with the personal struggles of the astronauts.This creates a mixture of both fear and hope，reflecting the difficult reality of being an astronaut.
In nature，Space：The Longest Goodbye offers an impressive exploration of the emotional and psychological journey of astronauts as they explore the vast space，wrestling with the challenges of loneliness and longing while fighting for the promise of discovery and exploration.

B(此篇精读)
We can see the moon every day，but in fact，humans have not been able to see the true face of the moon.For example，we all view the same side of it—the near side.So why don’t we ever see the far side of the moon
The secret behind this fascinating mystery is “①tidal locking (潮汐锁定)”．To better understand it，let’s imagine two friends holding hands and turning around.As they turn，they always face each other because they’re locked in position by their hands.Similarly，the moon is locked to Earth by tidal force，which means it takes just as long for the moon to turn about its axis(轴) as it does to go around Earth.As a result，we always see the same side of the moon from our position on Earth，while the ②opposite side，known as the far side or the dark side，remains hidden from view.
Now，you might be wondering why people use the term “dark side” when referring to the far side of the moon.Contrary to popular belief，the far side isn’t always in darkness.Like the near side，it experiences day and night.However，since we can’t observe it from Earth，it often lies in mystery，and thus it gets this name.
Although we’ll never see the far side of the moon directly from Earth，humanity has found ways to explore it.Several spacecraft have taken photos which ③furthered our understanding of the lunar far side.In June 2024，China’s Chang’e 6 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon and sent back more close-up photos.It brought back soil and rocks collected from there，opening a new chapter in lunar exploration and enabling scientists to discover what they didn’t know about the moon.
There is still so much more to explore on the lunar far side.For example，the far side of the moon is a rare and quiet place free from radio signals reflected from our planet，which allows scientists to study space phenomena with greater clarity，making it a perfect location for studying space using radio waves.
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类无法看到月球背面的原因、人类对月球背面的努力探索以及月球背面的隐藏价值。
5．How does the writer explain “tidal locking” in paragraph 2
A．By analyzing data.
B．By quoting a study.
C．By giving an example.
D．By comparing findings.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To better understand it，let’s imagine two friends holding hands and turning around.As they turn，they always face each other because they’re locked in position by their hands.Similarly，the moon is locked to Earth by tidal force”可知，作者通过举两个朋友牵着手转身的例子类比月球和地球来解释潮汐锁定。故选C。
6．What is a common misunderstanding of the far side of the moon
A．There lives unknown life.
B．It shouldn’t be disturbed.
C．It is visible from Earth.
D．There is no sunlight.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ Contrary to popular belief，the far side isn’t always in darkness.Like the near side，it experiences day and night.”可知，普遍的误解是月球的背面总是处于黑暗中，没有阳光。故选D。
7．Why is Chang’e 6 mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To share a well-known legend.
B．To explain its working principle.
C．To promote an advanced technology.
D．To show efforts of lunar exploration.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although we’ll never see the far side of the moon directly from Earth，humanity has found ways to explore it.”和“In June 2024，China’s Chang’e 6 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon...opening a new chapter in lunar exploration and enabling scientists to discover what they didn’t know about the moon.”可知，作者提及嫦娥六号的成果是为了展示探索月球的努力。故选D。
8．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Hidden value of the lunar far side.
B．Detailed information of mysteries.
C．Special advantages of radio waves.
D．Brief reviews of moon exploration.
答案　A
解析　段落大意题。最后一段首句“There is still so much more to explore on the lunar far side.” 说月球背面还有很多值得探索的地方，接下来举例说月球背面是使用无线电波研究太空的理想地点，由此可知，最后一段主要说明的是月球背面的隐藏价值。故选A。
[语境猜词] ①tidal adj.潮汐的 ②opposite adj.相反的；对面的 ③further 熟义：adj.更远的 生义(文义)：v.促进 [句式分析] Similarly，the moon is locked to Earth by tidal force，which means it takes just as long for the moon to turn about its axis as it does to go around Earth. 分析：此句为复合句。which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子；means后为省略了that的宾语从句，从句为“it takes＋一段时间＋for sb/sth to do sth”结构；as...as引导比较状语从句。 翻译：同样，月球被潮汐力锁定于地球，这意味着月球绕其自转轴旋转一周的时间与其绕地球公转一周的时间完全相同。
Ⅳ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

组句成篇　以上句子可以加上过渡词语和其他联想内容组成一篇小短文。
A
The documentary(纪录片) Space：The Longest Goodbye explores the important role of ①psychologists in preparing astronauts for missions to the moon and Mars.Even though NASA carefully plans and analyzes technical aspects of space travel，such as launch windows and flight orbits，the mental health of astronauts remains hard to measure.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了纪录片Space：The Longest Goodbye对长期在太空执行探索任务的宇航员的心理问题的探究及NASA为保证宇航员心理健康所采取的一些措施。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
The necessity for ①psychological support became obvious as astronauts started spending more time away from Earth，particularly with the construction of the International Space Station in 1994.With future missions aiming for longer periods of time，such as the scheduled three-year journey to Mars，the emotional stress of ②separation from loved ones becomes a major concern.
Directed by Ido Mizrahy，the documentary investigates the history of NASA’s psychological team while following the experience of astronauts like Cady Coleman，a key member of NASA’s Artemis program.Coleman’s story，especially the ③painfully-moving moments of her video chats with her son，uncovers the emotional sufferings experienced by astronauts and their families due to space travel.In addition，astronauts are also observed day and night while on board the space station，adding to their psychological stress.
The film describes the strategies the team applied to deal with these challenges，such as developing companion robots to ease(缓解) loneliness，conducting desert simulations(模拟) to study interpersonal stress during long space missions and so on.There is a shocking large number of ideas being tested for the astronauts.
Throughout the documentary，viewers are treated to ④breathtaking photos of space，presented together with the personal struggles of the astronauts.This creates a mixture of both fear and hope，reflecting the difficult reality of being an astronaut.
In nature，Space：The Longest Goodbye offers an impressive exploration of the emotional and psychological journey of astronauts as they explore the vast space，wrestling with the challenges of loneliness and longing while fighting for the promise of discovery and exploration.
1.What influences the mental health of the astronauts most

解析
2.How did NASA’s psychological team solve the difficulties
A.By increasing video chats.
B.By developing robots for company.
C.By doing research into deserts.
D.By improving communication skills.
√

A.Appreciative. B.Unclear.
C.Negative. D.Doubtful.
√

B(此篇精读)
We can see the moon every day，but in fact，humans have not been able to see the true face of the moon.For example，we all view the same side of it—the near side.So why don’t we ever see the far side of the moon
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类无法看到月球背面的原因、人类对月球背面的努力探索以及月球背面的隐藏价值。
The secret behind this fascinating mystery is “①tidal locking (潮汐锁定)”.To better understand it，let’s imagine two friends holding hands and turning around.As they turn，they always face each other because they’re locked in position by their hands.Similarly，the moon is locked to Earth by tidal force，which means it takes just as long for the moon to turn about its axis(轴) as it does to go around Earth.As a result，we always see the same side of the moon from our position on Earth，while the ②opposite side，known as the far side or the dark side，remains hidden from view.
Now，you might be wondering why people use the term “dark side” when referring to the far side of the moon.Contrary to popular belief，the far side isn’t always in darkness.Like the near side，it experiences day and night.However，since we can’t observe it from Earth，it often lies in mystery，and thus it gets this name.
Although we’ll never see the far side of the moon directly from Earth，humanity has found ways to explore it.Several spacecraft have taken photos which ③furthered our understanding of the lunar far side.In June 2024，China’s Chang’e 6 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon and sent back more close-up photos.It brought back soil and rocks collected from there，opening a new chapter in lunar exploration and enabling scientists to discover what they didn’t know about the moon.
There is still so much more to explore on the lunar far side.For example，the far side of the moon is a rare and quiet place free from radio signals reflected from our planet，which allows scientists to study space phenomena with greater clarity，making it a perfect location for studying space using radio waves.
5.How does the writer explain “tidal locking” in paragraph 2
A.By analyzing data.
B.By quoting a study.
C.By giving an example.
D.By comparing findings.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To better understand it，let’s imagine two friends holding hands and turning around.As they turn，they always face each other because they’re locked in position by their hands.Similarly，the moon is locked to Earth by tidal force”可知，作者通过举两个朋友牵着手转身的例子类比月球和地球来解释潮汐锁定。故选C。
解析
6.What is a common misunderstanding of the far side of the moon
A.There lives unknown life.
B.It shouldn’t be disturbed.
C.It is visible from Earth.
D.There is no sunlight.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ Contrary to popular belief，the far side isn’t always in darkness.Like the near side，it experiences day and night.”可知，普遍的误解是月球的背面总是处于黑暗中，没有阳光。故选D。
解析
7.Why is Chang’e 6 mentioned in paragraph 4
A.To share a well-known legend.
B.To explain its working principle.
C.To promote an advanced technology.
D.To show efforts of lunar exploration.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although we’ll never see the far side of the moon directly from Earth，humanity has found ways to explore it.”和“In June 2024，China’s Chang’e 6 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon...opening a new chapter in lunar exploration and enabling scientists to discover what they didn’t know about the moon.”可知，作者提及嫦娥六号的成果是为了展示探索月球的努力。故选D。
解析
8.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Hidden value of the lunar far side.
B.Detailed information of mysteries.
C.Special advantages of radio waves.
D.Brief reviews of moon exploration.
√
段落大意题。最后一段首句“There is still so much more to explore on the lunar far side.” 说月球背面还有很多值得探索的地方，接下来举例说月球背面是使用无线电波研究太空的理想地点，由此可知，最后一段主要说明的是月球背面的隐藏价值。故选A。
解析
①tidal adj.________
②opposite adj._______________
③further 熟义：adj.更远的 生义(文义)：v.______
