二、任务型阅读。
从地球到火星，中国航天走过了怎样的路？请阅读下面短文，完成下列任务。
On 23 July 2020, China's first Mars probe(航天探测器), Tianwen-1, was sent into space from Wenchang, Hainan Island. This spacecraft took its name from an ancient poem by Qu Yuan (340－278 BCE). Its name shows China's determination(决心) to explore the universe.
Mars has interested people for thousands of years. About 3,000 years ago, in ancient China, people already knew about the red planet and began to study how it moved. However, it was difficult to find out more about the planet before the 20th century. Thanks to the hard work of scientists, we have learnt a lot about the planet. Spacecraft like Tianwen-1 will help us find out more about our neighbour.
After travelling more than 470 million kilometres, Tianwen-1 reached Mars on 10 February 2021. It moved around the planet for more than three months before landing on the surface of the planet on 15 May. After landing, it released（放出） a 240-kilogram rover named Zhurong.
During the next 100 days, Zhurong drove 1,000 metres on the planet's surface and continued its mission. It took photos of Mars, studied different kinds of rocks, and then sent the information back to Earth.
The success of Tianwen-1 is only the beginning of China's Mars exploration programme. Maybe one day, Chinese astronauts will visit Mars.

【分析】本题是关于中国天问一号火星探测的任务型阅读，分为选择题和问答题。解题时，任务一的词义猜测题需结合上下文语境推断词义；事件排序题要准确定位原文事件的先后顺序；细节判断题需逐一核对选项与原文信息的匹配度。任务二的问答题需从原文中提取对应问题的关键信息，部分题目需结合全文主旨总结答案。
【解析】任务一：1. 词义猜测题：第二段围绕火星探测展开，“our neighbour”指代火星，故选B。2. 细节排序题：原文事件顺序为：天问一号到达火星（a）→绕火星三个多月（d）→着陆火星（b）→祝融号行驶探测（c），对应选项A。3. 细节判断题：A项祝融号重240公斤，错误；B项3000年前人们已知火星，错误；C项中国宇航员尚未登陆火星，错误；D项对应原文“travelling more than 470 million kilometres”，正确，故选D。任务二：1. 原文明确说明天问一号的名字来自屈原的古诗，直接提取即可。2. 原文第四段详细描述祝融号的工作，直接提取对应内容。3. 结合全文及最后一段，总结出探索宇宙需要决心，中国会持续探索太空的答案。
【答案】任务一:1.B 2.A 3.D；任务二:1. It came from an ancient poem by Qu Yuan. 2. It took photos of Mars, studied different kinds of rocks, and then sent the information back to Earth. 3. Exploring the universe needs great determination, and China will never stop exploring space.
