课时提能练(二十五).阅读理解On February 6，Space X，a private US aerospace company owned by Elon Musk，has successfully launched its new Falcon Heavy spacecraft，making it the worlds most powerful rocket.Falcon Heavy is the largest rocket since the retirement of NASAs Saturn V，which was used for the Moon missions in the 1970s.“Falcon Heavy can launch about 64 tonnes into low Earth orbitthats almost three times more than the current running biggest launch vehicle，Delta IV Heavy，”Imperial College London astrophysicist David Clements told A1 Jazeera.According to Space X，Falcon Heavy can lift into orbit a mass greater than a 737 jet loaded with passengers，crew，luggage and fuel.The rocket was designed with the idea of carrying humans into space and opening the possibility of flying missions with people to the Moon and even Mars.For its first voyage，it carried Musks $100，000 cherryred Tesla spots car and a fake spacesuited human model fixed in the drivers seat.Musk joked that“it may be discovered by some future alien race”Falcon Heavy went into space on its test flight on February 6.The launch took place at NASAs Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida，the spot also used for the Apollo 11 Moon mission and several space shuttle launches.It was delayed by several hours because of high winds in the upper atmosphere.Minutes after takeoff，the two outer boosters(助推器) landed at the nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.Space X announced plans to eventually use Falcon Heavy to launch two paying space tourists on a trip around the Moon.However，Musk said he will probably reserve that mission for another launch system，the BFR.Recently，Space X planned to launch a Falcon 9 rocket for NASAs TESS mission on March 20，2018.It is reported that Space X planned to complete 30 independent launch missions in 2018，at least half of which will use Falcon 9【语篇解读】2月6日，Space X公司的宇宙飞船Falcon Heavy成功发射，它是当前最大的运载火箭。1Which of the following can function as a rocket?AA 737 jet. BTesla.CSaturn V.DSpace X.C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Falcon Heavy is the largest rocket since the retirement of NASAs Saturn V，which was used for the Moon missions in the 1970s”可知，自20世纪70年代用于月球任务的美国航空航天局的Saturn V退役以来，Falcon Heavy是当前最大的运载火箭；据此可知，美国航空航天局的Saturn V是运载火箭，故C项正确。2What do we know about Falcon Heavy from the text?AIt is the largest rocket in the world.BIt is of the same load as a 737 jet.CIt is to be found by the creatures in the outer space.DIt was launched at the same place for the Apollo 11 mission.D细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The launch took place at NASAs Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida，the spot also used for the Apollo 11 Moon mission and several space shuttle launches”可知，发射地是在美国航空航天局的Cape Canaveral Air Force Station和美国佛罗里达州Kennedy Space Center，该地也用于阿波罗11号登月任务和几个航天飞机的发射。故D项正确。3What delayed the launch of Falcon Heavy?AWeather conditions.BProgram error.CEquipment failure.DDeliberate damage.A细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“It was delayed by several hours because of high winds in the upper atmosphere”可知，由于高层大气的强风，发射被推迟了几个小时。据此可知，由于气候条件的原因导致发射推迟，故A项正确。4What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe BFR will be completed in 2018.BThe mission to launch space tourists is unknown.CTourists will be sent into space by Falcon 9DFalcon 9 will take 15 launch missionsB推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句“Space X announced plans to eventually use Falcon Heavy to launch two paying space tourists on a trip around the Moon.However，Musk said he will probably reserve that mission for another launch system，the BFR”可知，Space X宣布计划最终使用Falcon Heavy搭载两名旅客，围绕月球进行太空旅行。不过，Musk表示，这一计划他很可能会保留给另一个发射系统BFR。据此可以判断，围绕月球进行太空旅行还未知，故B项正确。.阅读七选五(2019山西八校联考)Having success and being able to meet ones goals requires many things：knowledge，a sense of direction，hard work，luck，connections and perhaps a strong belief in yourself.We accomplish our goals one step at a time，doing a little each day. 1 1Get up an hour early.People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day. 2 And some studies show that the willpower and attention are strongest in the morning.In fact，the morning may be the most productive part of your day.2Drink a glass of water with lemon juice.While your coffee is being prepared or waiting for the water to heat up，drink a glass of water with lemon juice.Why？Health experts say that drinking a combination of lemon juice and water first in the morning jumpstarts the bodys metabolism(新陈代谢)3Exercise! 3 Exercising in the morning may not be for everyone.Some people like to exercise after work or at night.Physical fitness experts and trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for most people.By the days end，you may not have the time or energy to exercise.4 4 Take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that have happened. 5 And spend a little time thinking about tomorrow.It may help you to prepare if you take a few minutes to think about what you need to do the next day.AMake a plan for tomorrow.BFor starters，they are awake!CThink about your day at night.DSome people may disagree with this one.ESo using your day effectively is important.FGive thanks to wonderful things，if you want.GWell，dont，as it is a great way to forget about the day ahead.【语篇解读】本文是篇说明文。文章向读者介绍了有效利用每一天的四个习惯。1E从空前一句和下文中的四个建议可知，本空承上启下，E项符合语境，E项中的“using your day effectively”是关键信息。2B根据空处所在段的小标题“Get up an hour early”并结合选项可知，B项符合语境。3D根据该段小标题和空处后两句内容可知，有些人可能是不同意早上锻炼的，故选D项。4C由本段内容特别是第一句可知，本段主要讲的是一天结束时要进行思考，故选C项。5F本空前一句内容是回顾一天发生的事情，故可推知空处应指回顾过后可对美好的事情表达一下感谢，故选F项。【易错分析】本题的干扰项是G项，G项意思是“噢，不要这样做，因为这是一个提前忘记这一天的很好的方法”，但它与空后的“And spend a little time thinking about tomorrow”连贯不起来，逻辑不通，故排除。.语法填空(2019沈阳质检)China has once again showed its ability to change the world with its“four great new 1 (invent)”highspeed rail，electronic payment，shared bicycle，and online shopping.Chinas newgeneration highspeed train，the Fuxing Hao，is now one of the 2.
