China has named the nation's first Mars rover Zhurong. For all of us, Zhurong is a well-suited name. In an ancient Chinese story, Zhurong had the face of a man and the body of an animal. He rode on two dragons. When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the god of water, Zhurong won. But after the fight, the human world came into complete darkness. Then he brought fire from heaven to the world.
"Zhurong is regarded as the earliest god of fire in traditional Chinese culture," a space official said. The first Mars rover was named Zhurong. The name symbolizes（象征）light and hope for our country's space exploration, and means guiding humans to continue exploration.
After leaving the earth, the rover Zhurong circled Mars for several months and successfully landed on it. With this achievement, the Zhurong rover has continued China's space exploration journey. In recent years, our country has sent up the world's first quantum satellite（量子卫星）, and Chang'e-6 has collected soil samples from the far side of the moon. We have made great progress in space technology.

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，包含细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意三类题型。解题思路：1. 细节理解题需定位原文对应语句，逐一比对选项正误；2. 词义猜测题需结合上下文语境，推断划线词含义；3. 主旨大意题需梳理全文核心内容，概括文章主旨。
【解析】
1. 第1题（细节理解题）：定位原文第一段。A选项：原文提到“He rode on two dragons”，而非one，排除；B选项：原文提到“Zhurong won”与共工的战斗，而非lost，排除；C选项：原文明确“Then he brought fire from heaven to the world”，符合；D选项：原文是“had the face of a man and the body of an animal”，选项表述颠倒，排除。故选C。
2. 第2题（词义猜测题）：结合上下文，文章介绍祝融是火神，名字象征光明与希望，说明“well-suited”意为“合适的”。A（昂贵）、B（奇怪）、D（困难）均不符合语境，C（proper，合适的）正确。故选C。
3. 第3题（细节理解题）：定位原文第二段，“The name symbolizes light and hope for our country's space exploration”，对应D选项。A是火星车着陆的成就，非命名原因；B是祝融的身份，不是命名的直接依据；C表述与原文不符，排除。故选D。
4. 第4题（主旨大意题）：全文围绕中国首个火星车命名为“祝融”展开，介绍祝融的文化背景、命名意义及火星车的航天成就，核心是介绍中国首个火星车。A仅为部分内容，B是局部细节，C是提及的航天进步，均非主旨。故选D。

Ⅰ. 用所给动词的适当形式填空
1. More training (require) if humans want to live on Mars.
2. If there is a storm, the rocket launch (cancel).
3. The photos taken on Mars (publish) in a magazine next month.
4. A new rover (send) to the moon to look for water next week.
5. Spacesuits (improve) so that astronauts can walk more easily on other planets in the future.

1. will be required 2. will be canceled 3. will be published 4. will be sent 5. will be improved

【分析】首先观察每个句子的语境，均涉及将来要发生的动作，且主语与所给动词之间是被动关系（动作承受者作主语）。这类句子常用“一般将来时的被动语态”表达，结构为“will be + 动词过去分词”；同时注意if引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时表将来，时间状语（next month、next week、in the future）也提示动作发生在将来，据此可确定每个空的正确形式。
【解析】1. 主语More training是动词require的承受者，结合if从句表将来的语境，用一般将来时被动，故填will be required。
2. 主句主语the rocket launch是动词cancel的承受者，if从句表将来，用一般将来时被动，故填will be canceled。
3. 时间状语next month表将来，主语The photos是动词publish的承受者，用一般将来时被动，故填will be published。
4. 时间状语next week表将来，主语A new rover是动词send的承受者，用一般将来时被动，故填will be sent。
5. 时间状语in the future表将来，主语Spacesuits是动词improve的承受者，用一般将来时被动，故填will be improved。
【答案】1. will be required 2. will be canceled 3. will be published 4. will be sent 5. will be improved
【知识点】一般将来时的被动语态；动词过去分词
【点评】本题聚焦一般将来时被动语态的应用，需学生准确判断主语与动词的主被动关系，结合时间、条件提示确定时态，是基础语法题，考查学生对被动语态结构的掌握情况。
