1 . On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I, China's first space lab. According to the China Manned Space Agency（中国载人航天）, Tiangong I re-entered the Earth's atmosphere（大气层）and some of its debris（碎片）fell into the South Pacific Ocean.

There are many spacecraft（宇宙飞船）that are still in orbit（轨道）above the Earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth's atmosphere like Tiangong I.

There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.

Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the Earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate（计算）the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. They can guide the spacecraft to fall in a chosen area.

Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.

During re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris will reach the ground. The debris typically ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.

2 .

Thousands of years ago, Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC) wrote the poem Tianwen, meaning Quest for Heavenly Truth. He came up with a series of questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the world around us. The poem showed his doubts about traditional ideas and the spirit of finding the truth.

Inspired by the great poet, China has named its upcoming series of planetary exploration missions (行星探测任务) after the poem. The first one in the series-a Mars exploration mission-has been named Tianwen 1, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on April 24, China’s Space Day. This shows China’s desire (渴望) to explore the universe and discover its secrets.

China has been making great progress in space exploration. As early as 1970, China launched its first man-made Earth satellite (卫星), becoming the fifth country in the world to launch a man-made satellite independently. Since 2003, China has carried out six Shenzhou manned missions and launched two space labs into Earth’s orbit (轨道). China’s moon exploration missions-the Chang’e series-started in 2007. In December 2018, China became the first country to send the probe (探测器) Chang’e 4 to the moon’s far side, which always faces away from Earth.

The Tianwen series will follow the Shenzhou and Chang’e series and move further into space. The first step is to launch a Mars probe this year, which will mark the start of China’s exploration of the Red Planet. The probe is expected to orbit (绕……轨道运行), land on and explore Mars in one mission. If it succeeds, it will be the first to complete all of these tasks in one mission. The Long March 5 rocket will send the probe to Mars. It will take seven months to reach the planet and land.

After this mission, China plans to visit Mars again in 2028, aiming to collect soil from the surface of the planet and bring it to Earth. Around 2030, China will explore Jupiter and several asteroids (小行星), according to CNSA.

1. How does the passage lead to the topic?

A．By telling a story.	B．By giving an opinion.
C．By answering a question.	D．By offering a suggestion.

2. What do we know about the Mars exploration mission?

A．China will launch a Mars probe named Long March 5.

B．It will be the first mission of the Tianwen series.

C．China will launch the probe on Space Day.

D．The probe will be launched on a rocket built by another country.

3. Paragraph 3 focuses on ________.

A．how China explored the moon	B．how many missions China has completed
C．the progress China has made in exploring space	D．the meaning of the name Tianwen

4. The first step of the Mars exploration mission is ________.

A．taking a clear picture of Mars	B．designing a probe
C．naming the mission	D．sending a probe to Mars

5. What will CNSA probably do in the future, according to the last paragraph?

A．It will visit Venus and several asteroids.

B．It will collect soil from the surface of the moon.

C．It will launch other missions to Mars.

D．It will visit all of the planets in the solar system.

3 . Anyone with a long-term illness knows that recovering (康复) at home can be lonely. This can be especially true for children. They are recovering from a long-term illness in hospital or at home, so they may feel lonely since they are away from their friends and classmates. Now, a small robot may help these children. The robot goes to school instead of them. Through the robot, the children can hear what their teachers and friends say. They can also take part in the classroom activities at home or on the hospital bed.

The robot is called AVI. It goes to school for the sick child. And the child's school friends must help to make the robot move. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot at the child's desk.

Dolva, one of AVI's inventors, explains how the robot works. She says, "The robot sits at the child's desk in the classroom, and the child at home or in the hospital uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement by touching the screen, and talk through it. With speakers, microphones and cameras, the robot becomes the eyes, the ears and the voice of the child at school. "Moreover, AVI is designed to be tough. It would not be easily broken even falling from a desk. Inside AVI there is a small computer connected to a 4G network. AVI is large and looks like a human. Dolva thinks this is important because in this way, it would be easier for the robot to become a friend of the children.

Now the robot has come into the market. Hopefully, AVI will help some children feel less lonely while they are away from the class.

1. The robot AVI can help the children ________.

A．recover from a long-term illness very soon

5 . When we discuss inventions, many of us think of some important things such as planes, trains and computers. In fact, many inventions are c    1     and they are often used in our daily life. However, we even don't know w    2     invented them.

There are a lot of things in our schoolbags, i    3     pencils, rulers, books and so on. None of them grow in the field. People make them in factories. They look common today, but hundreds of years ago no one knew about them. Who invented them? Where were they invented? We aren't sure. However, we should thank the inventors. Their inventions are so important to us. We couldn't e    4    such a wonderful life without their inventions.

Some of the inventions have changed not only our life but also the w    5    world, such as the telephone, the TV and the computer. We use them every day, but most of us don't know the names of the inventors. Should we remember the inventors? We can remember so many movie stars and pop stars. Why don't we pay more attention to the scientists and inventors? We should look on them as stars in our eyes!
