Early achievements of space exploration
Before the mid-20th century, most people felt travelling into space was an impossible dream. However, some scientists were determined to help humans realise their dream to explore space. _________ On 4 October 1957, the Sputnik 1 satellite was launched by the USSR and successfully orbited around Earth. Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space, and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to go into space. Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, famously saying, “That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Following this, many more goals were achieved. For example, America's NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today.
A Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen.
C The future of space exploration remains bright.
3. Topic sentence
A Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen.
B They also really wish to discover other planets that are suitable enough to support life.

Disasters and Our Response to them
_________ All the astronauts on the USSR's Soyuz 11 and America's Chanllenger died during their missions. These disasters made everyone sad and disappointed, but the desire to explore the universe never died. This is because people believe in the importance of carrying on space exploration despite the huge risks. An example of this ongoing work is the International Space Station. It orbits Earth and has astronauts from different countries on board, providing a continuous human presence in space.

必修第三册Unit 4Space Exploration高考题型组合练Ⅰ.阅读理解ADespite Kyle Tianshi being only a 15-year-old US high schooler,he has published five sci-fi novels.His fifth book E v entide was released in July.However,this may not be his most impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”,a $20,000 grand prize.It is the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards.The competition aims to encourage and support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their communities by taking action for the planet.Kyle,a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US,received the honor for his portable invention called NEREID.The device can detect microscopic particles(粒子) in water by using a laser and microscope.These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in San Diego,California,the US.People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked him not to drink tap water.Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water:a laser,a microscope and a micro-computer.“It’s incredibly powerful for the price,”Kyle said.Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory,doing research on the pollution of drinking water caused by micro-plastics.Kyle hopes to bring to market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution levels in drinking water.In this way,he can offer help to people who don’t have access to water filtration(过滤) systems.He has applied for a patent.Kyle said his sister Emily,a freshman at Stanford University,inspired his interest in environmental research.She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection device.They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.1.What do we know about Kyle?A.He is good at adapting sci-fi works.B.He entered many novel contests.C.He received an award for his invention.D.He’s found microscopic particles in water.答案 C解析细节理解题。
