一、阅读七选五
Since long ago, humans have wished to fly. But what if we could travel not just through the air, but above it? 1. Companies are now developing rockets that can carry private citizens to the edge of space, offering a few minutes of weightlessness and a breathtaking view of Earth.
The idea is exciting, but it also raises significant questions. 2. This means only super-rich people can take space trips, which creates a new kind of unfairness. Besides, space travel is bad for our environment. When rockets are sent into space, they let out lots of carbon dioxide and other harmful things into the air. These things may hurt the ozone layer(臭氧层).
Supporters argue that space tourism is a necessary first step. 3. They believe the technology and competition from space tourism will drive down costs and lead to innovations(创新) that could benefit everyone. They also talk about a special feeling called the “overview effect”—when astronauts see Earth from space, their way of thinking changes deeply. 4.
5. Whether it becomes a common leisure activity or remains a niche(专属活动) for the wealthy, its development will undoubtedly shape our future.
A. The debate(争论) about space tourism is just beginning.
B. This could inspire a greater sense of global unity and care for our planet.
C. Space tourism, once only in science fiction, is slowly becoming real.
D. People all over the world are looking forward to cheap space travel.
E. The cost is so high that tickets cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
F. Just as early air travel was once only for the rich, it later became common.
G. Many scientists are studying how to make rockets safer and greener.

【分析】解答本题需先通读全文，把握文章围绕太空旅游的发展、争议及前景展开的核心话题，再结合每个空格前后的语境、指代关系、逻辑关联逐一匹配选项：第1空需承接“飞向太空”的话题，引出太空旅游从科幻走向现实的内容；第2空后提到仅富人能参与，说明此处应说明成本高昂；第3空前是支持者观点，后文涉及成本降低的类比，需找类似的发展案例；第4空对应前文提到的“overview effect”（太空视角带来的思维改变）；第5空为总结段，需点明争论的现状。
【解析】1. 前文引出“飞向太空”的话题，后文提到公司开发私人太空旅行火箭，因此第1空选C（太空旅游曾仅在科幻中存在，正慢慢成为现实），承上启下；2. 后文“only super-rich people can take space trips”说明此处需说明成本高，选E（成本极高，票价达数十万美元），“this”指代成本高的情况；3. 支持者认为太空旅游是必要第一步，后文讲成本降低，F选项用早期航空“只为富人后变普遍”的类比，符合逻辑；4. 前文提到“overview effect”（从太空看地球改变思维），B选项说明该效应的作用（激发全球团结与对地球的关怀），选B；5. 最后一段总结，A选项“关于太空旅游的争论才刚开始”符合语境，选A。
