Question

Looking back on China’s road to outer space, people can easily find it has not been very smooth. In the past years, Chinese people have made hard and determined efforts to realize the dream their ancestors had for thousands of years.
After China’s first satellite into the Earth’s orbit in 1970 came four flights of unmanned Shenzhou missions(飛行) from 1999 to 2002. The country carried out its first one-piloted space flight in October, 2003, making China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and the United States. Then came another breakthrough on October 12, 2005, when Shenzhou 6, China’s second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. What’s more, the landmark spacewalk done by Zhai Zhigang, one of the three boarding Shenzhou 7, launched on Sept. 25, 2008, leads the country further in its space exploration.
Meanwhile, China’s moon exploration project, started in 2004, has also been progressing satisfactorily. Fifty years after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world’s first man-made satellite, China’s first circumlunar(繞月的)satellite Chang’e 1 took off on Oct.24, 2007, which became another milestone(里程碑) in China’s space achievements after the above-mentioned manned flights. Chang’e 1 was expected to fulfill four scientific goals, one of which was to probe（勘探）mineral elements on the moon, especially those not existent on Earth. It’s said that the lunar regolith(月壤) is abundant in helium-3, a clean fuel that may support the Earth’s energy demands for more than a century. Nearly 3 years later, Oct. 1, 2010 witnessed the blasting off of Chang’e 2, China’s 2nd unmanned lunar probe, marking another step forward in moon exploration. This time the aim is to test the key techniques of Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4, as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future.
With great expectations, people all over the world are looking forward to China’s greater space achievements

試題分析：這篇文章回顧了中國太空探索所取得的成就——神舟號(hào)載人飛行和嫦娥探月衛(wèi)星的成功發(fā)射。
1.細(xì)節(jié)題：從第二段的內(nèi)容：The country carried out its first one-piloted space flight in October, 2003, making China the third country in the world to have independent human spaceflight ability after the Soviet Union and the United States. Then came another breakthrough on October 12, 2005, when Shenzhou 6, China’s second human spaceflight, was launched, with a crew of two astronauts. What’s more, the landmark spacewalk done by Zhai Zhigang, one of the three boarding Shenzhou 7,可知神舟飛船運(yùn)送過6個(gè)宇航員進(jìn)入太空，選C
2.細(xì)節(jié)題：根據(jù)第二段中的“first one-piloted space flight in October2003”以及“Then came another breakthrough on October 122005”，再結(jié)合第三段中的“Chang’e1...which became another milestone...”可知“嫦娥一號(hào)”的成功發(fā)射是中國太空探索的第三個(gè)里程碑。 答案D
3.推理判斷題。A、B 兩項(xiàng)是直接信息，故排除。由文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句內(nèi)容This time the aim is to test the key techniques of Chang’e 3 and Chang’e 4, as a preparation for a soft lunar landing in the future.
可推知：中國科學(xué)家正在研究在月球上軟著陸技術(shù)。 答案D
4.主旨大意題。這篇文章圍繞“神舟號(hào)載人飛行和嫦娥探月衛(wèi)星發(fā)射”而展開，故 B 項(xiàng)作為標(biāo)題最合適。 B
