Ⅱ.阅读理解【主题：人与社会　航天技术】
　　①So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.
　　②Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Chang'e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, China's first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang'e Ⅰ. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang'e in the story. These old stories carry people's best wishes and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.
　　③Kua Fu Runs after the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have a space project called Kua Fu Mission.
　　④Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2，000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China's first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground.
　　⑤From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology.
1．What do we know about Chang'eⅠ according to the passage
A．It moves around the moon.
B．It protects the Jade Rabbit.
C．It “visits” the sun with the scientists.
D．It is the world's first man-made satellite.
2．(新考向　写作手法题)How does the writer support his opinion in paragraph 4
A．By listing numbers.
B．By comparing facts.
C．By giving an example.
D．By reporting a result.
3．(新考向　篇章结构题)Which is the right structure of the passage (①＝paragraph 1, ②＝paragraph 2, ...)
A． B．
C． D．
4．What's the writer's main purpose of writing the passage
A．To spread the traditional Chinese culture.
B．To explain how our scientists develop the space industry.
C．To introduce the achievements in our science and technology.
D．To tell how traditional Chinese culture influences our space science.
Ⅲ.阅读表达【主题：人与社会　发明与创造】
　　阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
　　Great inventions are changing and improving our lives in many ways. A 3D printer, one of the great inventions, is like a magical machine. It can make objects into real things from computer designs. What is more amazing, two young scientists made a special 3D food printer in Qatar. It can use bits of vegetables to create food!
　　These smart students, Annan and Mansoori, are students at Carnegie Mellon University in Doha. To make the 3D carrot, they first used very small parts of a real carrot and made lots of them in a science lab. Then they used these tiny parts as ink (墨水) in their printer to make the carrot. By using vegetable cells (细胞) and ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV), a new carrot is printed. UV light is a kind of energy that helps stick the carrot bits together. The invention may help with food safety.
　　They chose carrots in the test because scientists knew a lot about how carrot parts grew into plants. Mansoori said 3D-printed food can be made cheaply. It doesn't require large areas of land. It also does not require maintenance (维护) costs. 3D-printed carrots are cheaper than real carrots.
　　Today, 733 million people are facing hunger. Mansoori hopes 3D printers will be used in restaurants, supermarkets, and hospitals. The purpose, she said, is to make food reachable to people all over the world.
1．What is the 3D printer compared to in the passage

2．What did Annan and Mansoori do to make the 3D carrot

3．What kind of energy helps stick the carrot bits together

4．Please list the advantages of the 3D food printer according to the passage. (at least two advantages)

5．Which food do you think is better, natural food or food made by 3D food printers Give your opinion.
