第二部分　阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
　　There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains (喝干) the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of dehydration(脱水). His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug. 12, 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe(探测器), marking the start of its trip to the sun.
The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flights of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona(日冕), it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1, 400 ℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive?
According to NASA, a special shield (保护罩)has been used, which is a special 11. 5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. Its advanced technology like this will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned, the probe will reach a speed of 692, 018 kilometers per hour as it orbits the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025, NBC added.
The “mission to touch the sun” will “not only make history by answering questions that have puzzled scientists for decades, but it may also lead to the discovery of new phenomena that are completely unknown to us now, ” Raouafi told Discovery Magazine. “This mission has the potential to push solar research into a new direction, ” he added.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。古有“夸父逐日”的故事, 自古至今人们一直未停止对太阳的探索。近日, 美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探索器, 人类“逐日”的梦想终于要实现了。
21. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A powerful rocket. B. The probe.
C. Venus. D. The planet’s gravity.
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据上文的In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flights of Venus可知, 此处是指利用行星引力的力量改变探测器的路径, 使它朝向太阳, 因此, 此处的it是指probe, 故选B。
22. What do we know about the Parker Solar Probe?
A. It’s the fastest probe ever designed.
B. It has an 11. 5-inch-thick shield.
C. It was designed to carry a powerful rocket.
D. It’s twice the size of a car.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段的If everything goes as planned, the probe will reach a speed of 692, 018 kilometers per hour as it orbits the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. 可知, the Parker Solar Probe是曾被设计的最快的探测器, 故选A。
23. The probe will meet the challenges except______.  
A. the route to the sun
B. the heat near the sun
C. the distance to the sun
D. the radiation from the sun
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的the probe must complete seven flights of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path和As the probe approaches the sun’s corona, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1, 400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. 可知, 探测器将会遇到去太阳的路线, 太阳的温度和太阳的辐射的挑战, 但没有到太阳的距离问题, 故选C。
24. What’s the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the importance of advanced technology.
B. To prove the mission is the greatest move in human history.
C. To suggest there is a long way to go in solar exploration.
D. To show the mission will fill a gap in solar research.
【解析】选D。目的意图题。根据上文主要介绍了“触日任务”, 再结合本段内容, 尤其是This mission has the potential to push solar research into a new direction. 可推断出, 本段的目的是想证明这一任务将填补太阳能研究的空白, 故选D。
B
　　　“Hello, Earth! Can you hear me? ” That’s the voice more than 400, 000 people received recently. It was from Philae, a space vehicle that landed on a comet in 2014. However, its transmissions (传送信号) back home went silent since then.
It took a long time for Philae to make its way across the solar system and reach comet 67P/C-G. The space vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探测器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014.
Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. And for about two and a half days after landing, it did just that, sending the information back to scientists on Earth. But Philae’s landing on the comet’s icy surface had not been smooth. While touching down, it jumped up and ended up in the shadow of something like a huge rock. Philae runs on solar power, but there was no light in the place where it landed. In the end, it failed to work.
However, as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online. Philae then sent something to Rosetta, which passed on the information back to Earth.
“We only received the information for about 85 seconds, but that’s enough to let us know it is alive and well, ” says Stephan Ulamec, who works for the European Space Agency. “We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet. Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions. ”
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲了彗星着陆器在登陆彗星失联后又获重生的太空探索故事。
25. Hearing Philae’s voice, those people must have felt ______.  
A. afraid 　　B. calm　　C. excited 　　D. worried
【解析】选C。推理判断题。由第一段中的“Philae. . . landed on a comet in 2014. However, its transmissions back home went silent since then. ”可知, Philae于2014年着陆彗星后就失联了, 所以当人们再次听到它传来的声音时一定很兴奋, 故选C项。
26. According to the text, Philae ______.  
A. was damaged when it landed
B. moved around comet 67P/C-G
C. needs light and gas to keep working
D. helps scientists learn about a comet
【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第三段首句“Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. ”可知, Philae的任务是帮助科学家们了解一颗彗星的相关情况, 故选D项。
27. What Stephan says in the text suggests that ______.  
A. Rosetta will move around another comet
B. Philae will continue to work for scientists
C. most comets are as wide as four kilometers
D. he wonders whether Philae is still alive
【解析】选B。细节理解题。由最后一段尾句“Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions. ”可知, Philae将会继续为科学家们服务, 故选B项。
C
　　Of all the planets, none has captured the world’s imagination like the Mars. Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.
In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about the Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H. G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who b
