Question

【題目】

Earlier this year, China achieved a new landmark in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang’e 4 became the first space probe in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon, People’s Daily reported.

From Earth, we can only see one side of the moon. The other side has been a mystery. Scientists have long wondered what is on this side of the moon.

Chang’e 4 can’t communicate with Earth directly. But Queqiao, a reply satellite(中繼衛(wèi)星), can help us stay in touch. Queqiao was sent into space in May. After Chang’e 4 landed on the moon, it took pictures and sent them back to Earth through Queqiao.

Chang’e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments, such as growing seeds in a low-gravity environment. The data(數(shù)據(jù)) collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future.

The success of the Chang’e 4 mission is a major achievement for China’s space program. It marks a new stage in China's deep space exploration, said Wu Yanhua.

China launched its lunar exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang’e. Chinese scientists set three goals — “orbiting(環(huán)繞運行), landing and sample returning” — referring to launching probes that could circle around the moon, touch down on its surface and bring lunar materials back to Earth.

Chang’e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year, China Daily reported.

Following the success of the Chang’e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into(調(diào)查) our solar system. China’s first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020, Wu said.

【4】B

【5】C

【解析】

本文介紹了中國在空間探索方面取得了新的里程碑。據(jù)《人民日報》報道，1月3日，嫦娥4號成為歷史上第一個成功地降落在月球遠端的太空探測器。嫦娥四號發(fā)回了月球遠端的照片。“嫦娥四號”飛行任務的成功，是中國航天事業(yè)的重大成就。這標志著中國深空探索進入了一個新階段。隨著“嫦娥”號任務的成功，中國科學家正在進一步研究我們的太陽系。吳邦國說，中國第一次火星探測任務預計將在2020年完成。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)On Jan 3, Chang’e 4 became the first space probe in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon, People’s Daily reported. 據(jù)《人民日報》報道，1月3日，嫦娥4號成為歷史上第一個成功地降落在月球遠端的太空探測器�？芍�，《人民日報》報道，嫦娥4號已經(jīng)成功地降落在月球的遠側(cè)。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But Queqiao, a reply satellite(中繼衛(wèi)星), can help us stay in touch. 但鵲橋，一顆中繼衛(wèi)星可以幫助我們保持聯(lián)系�？芍�，設立奎橋是為了與地球保持聯(lián)系。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)It marks a new stage in China's deep space exploration, said Wu Yanhua. 吳艷華說，這標志著中國深空探索進入了一個新階段。根據(jù)上文的句子The success of the Chang’e 4 mission is a major achievement for China’s space program. “嫦娥四號”飛行任務的成功，是中國航天事業(yè)的重大成就�？芍�，該句話中的it是指上文的The success of the Chang’e 4 mission。故選D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Chinese scientists set three goals — “orbiting(環(huán)繞運行), landing and sample returning” — referring to launching probes that could circle around the moon, touch down on its surface and bring lunar materials back to Earth. 中國科學家設定了三個目標——“繞月運行”、“著陸”和“返回樣品”。這三個目標指的是發(fā)射能夠繞月旋轉(zhuǎn)、接觸月球表面并將月球物質(zhì)帶回地球的探測器�？芍�，“嫦娥四號”的第三個目標是把月球材料帶回地球。故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)China launched its lunar exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang’e. Chinese scientists set three goals — “orbiting(環(huán)繞運行), landing and sample returning” — referring to launching probes that could circle around the moon, touch down on its surface and bring lunar materials back to Earth. 中國于2004年啟動了月球探測計劃，命名為“嫦娥”。中國科學家設定了三個目標——“繞月運行”、“著陸”和“返回樣品”。這三個目標指的是發(fā)射能夠繞月旋轉(zhuǎn)、接觸月球表面并將月球物質(zhì)帶回地球的探測器�？芍�，嫦娥四號揭示了月球遠端的秘密。故選C。
