Today, many countries are all planning to send astronauts to the Earth's closest neighbor：the Moon. Some of these countries want to create space stations there within the next 10 years. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other earthlike planets. _ Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonize(殖民) space. He wants to start with Mars. Why? He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot of thingsfor example, the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. Besides, any progress we make in the fields of science, technology, medicine. and health will do good to people here on the Earth. _ Elon Musk, the CEO of Space X also believes we should colonize Mars. His long­term goal is to put one million people there if something bad happens to us here on the Earth. _ Many people say it's too expensive. Also, most space trips are not short. A one­way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People traveling this kind of distance could face many health problems. Besides, these first people would find life especially difficult in space. On the Moon's surface, for example, the Sun's rays are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time. _ No matter what different concerns there are, sending people into space seems certain. In the future, we might see cities on the Moon or even new human cultures on other planets. First stop：the Moon. 56. According to the passage, why are some countries planning to build space stations?A. To develop space travel. B. To learn more about the Moon's surface. C. To prepare humans to live on other planets. D. To cut down the number of people living on the Earth. 57. Which is the best place for the sentence “Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. ”？A. B. C. D. 58. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give reasons for and against colonizing space. B. To describe what life would be like on the Moon. C. To compare the environments of Mars and the Moon. D. To introduce progress in space science and technology. BWhen it comes to long­distance space travel, the biggest problem is that spaceships can only get as far as the fuel onboard allows. In 1964, a British writer Clarke came up with the idea of “solar sailing” in his science fiction. He wrote of large, mirror­like sails that collect power from the sun and free spaceships from the limitation of fuel. This sci­fi idea was first successfully brought to reality(现实) in 2010 by Japan's IKAROS satellite. Ever since then, the technology has improved mission by mission, with the latest being NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3). NASA has recently announced that it's going to team up with Lithuania's satellite­building company NanoAvionics to test its new sail in low­Earth orbit. To many, a solar sail(太阳帆) may look like a giant solar panel(太阳能电池板), but it actually works very differently. While solar panels take in energy from the sun and change it into power, solar sails use photons(光子) given off by the sun to create direct power. Besides, solar panels are big and heavy to carry, while solar sails are just the opposite. According to Abbott, the CEO of NanoAvionics, the upcoming low­Earth orbit trial with NASA, if successful, will be followed with deep­space missions that involve larger solar sails. These are ideal for low­cost and long­distance space travel because fuel will no longer be a problem. “It started as a sci­fi dream, ”Popular Mechanics reporter Jennifer Leman wrote. “Now it could be the future of space flights. ”59. What can we say about solar sailing according to the first two paragraphs?A. It was widely used in space travel. B. It was first tried by IKAROS satellite. C. It was from the creative idea by Clarke. D. NASA will cooperate with Japan's satellite­building company to test its new sail. 60. Which of the following words best describe solar sails compared with solar panels?A. Big and heavy. B. Small and light. C. Powerful and large. D. Small but heavy. 61. What does the underlined word “These” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Larger solar sails. B. Deep­space missions. C. Long­distance space flights. D. Low­Earth orbit trials. 62. What is the best title for the text?A. Solar Sail: the Latest TechnologyB. Solar Sail: from Dream to RealityC. Solar Sail: a New Kind of SpaceshipD. Solar Sail: a Sci­fi DreamCThe first­ever photo of a black hole appeared on April 10, 2019. What can we learn from it?First of all, black holes are huge stars with gravity(引力)so strong that even light cannot get out of their control. As its name suggests, a black hole is black, so it'll be impossible to “see” against the black backdrop of space. But nearby objects, around the black hole where light can't get awaycould be seen. So the photo may show a dark point with a ring of bright light around. But that also might be a challenge, as the black hole is covered in a thick cloud of dust(灰尘) and gas. As you might expect, this won't be the photo of the night sky from your smart phone. Photos will come from the Event Horizon Telescope(视界望远镜), a collection of telescopes around the world specifically(专门地)made to look at black holes. The photo from the black hole may give us a better understanding of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity(广义相对论), which he came up with in 1915. The shape of the black hole's event horizon could possibly cast new doubt (产生新的怀疑) upon it. But even if it casts doubt, the finding would not necessarily mean that his theory is wrong, but we have more physics to understand. 63. What are black holes according to the passage?A. Deep holes. B. Huge stars. C. Black clouds. D. Strong lights. 64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It is impossible for us to take a photo of the black hole with our smart phones. B. The black hole is covered with a thin cloud of dust and gas. C. Many scientists have taken the photos of the black hole so far. D. People find it difficult to study the black hole and they will give up. 65. What is the main idea of the text above?A. How to see the black hole. B. Try to take a photo of the black hole. C. The first coming photo of the black hole. D. Something we will learn from the photo of the black hole.
