Question

“China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in 2010 and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,” Ouyang Ziyuan, head of China's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.

After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.

The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.

But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.

Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (賭注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.

Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.

Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（發(fā)起）a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.

1.According to Ouyang Ziyuan ________.

A．China has founded a base on the moon

B．China has founded one base on the North and South Poles

C．China will set up a base on the moon in 2010

D．China has already finished founding a moon base

2.The underlined word “touchdown” in the second paragraph means “________”.

A．landing           B．relation           C．connection        D．behaviour

3.Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?

A．A second home is going to be built on the moon in 2010.

B．China's first man has landed the moon in space.

C．People from only two countries have been to the moon till now.

D．Twelve Chinese astronauts are being trained for the manned flight to the moon.

4.We think that the Chinese astronaut will succeed in landing the moon in 2010 because ________.

A．China will ask for help from the USSR and the USA

B．two countries have set up a space station on the moon

C．China has a large population in the world

D．China has its tradition technology and advanced scientists

5.We can infer from this passage that               .

A．China’s robot landing in the moon has been successful

B．the USSR and the USA don’t allow Chinese people to land on the moon

C．Chinese scientists show great interest in exploring Mars now

D．it is impossible for the Chinese people to land on the moon

 

Answer 1

【答案】

1.C

2.A

3.B

4.D

5.C

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了中國的登月計劃，中國計劃要在月球上建立一個基地，進行各種研究，中國有這樣的傳統(tǒng)也有這樣的能力和人才。

1.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段1,2行China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in 2010 and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,”說明中國要在月球上建立基地，故C項正確。

2.A 推理題。根據(jù)本句robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.先是機器人降落到月球上，然后是人類登陸月球，該詞應(yīng)該是指登陸，故A項正確。

3.B 推理題。根據(jù)第3段2,3行The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight,說明美國和俄羅斯是唯一的兩個登陸月球的國家，也就是說，中國還沒有登陸月球，只是一個計劃而已，以及倒數(shù)第二段One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch. 故B項說法是錯誤的。

4.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第4段1,2行But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades.說明這個有這樣的傳統(tǒng)，而且中國也有這樣的人才，故D項內(nèi)容正確。

5.C 推斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二行Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.說明中國的科學(xué)家對于火星也表現(xiàn)出濃厚的興趣了，把火星作為第二個目標。故C項正確。
