《2025年考点测试卷高中英语》

二、七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Mars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth. 5 It is about half as big as Earth and is often referred to as the Red Planet because of its red surface.
The Red Planet has the largest volcano in the solar system—Olympus Mons. 6 That's about three times the height of Mount Qomolangma.
Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun, Mars is much colder than Earth. 7 The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars's ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water.
Scientists believe that studying Mars can help answer some of the key questions about our planet Earth, or even the universe.
8 Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed. The USA, Russia, and several other countries have lost many spacecraft in their quest to explore the Red Planet. Nevertheless, they will still continue their explorations. Chinese experts are confident about their plan to explore Mars, in spite of many challenges. The first Mars unmanned spacecraft was launched from Wenchang around 2020. But it is only the beginning of deep voyages into outer space.
A. It is roughly 27 kilometres high.
B. Missions to Mars have never been easy.
C. Mars, however, has no active volcanoes today.
D. The temperature at the planet's surface varies widely.
E. However, Mars does have weather, with clouds and winds.
F. China will continue to explore the mysteries of the universe.
G. It is one of the few planets that we can see with our own eyes.

答案： 5.G 细节还原句 【解析】根据下文“It is about half as big as Earth and is often referred to as the Red Planet because of its red surface.”可知,此处介绍火星的基本信息。G项“它是少数几个我们能用肉眼看到的行星之一”与下文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选G。
6.A 细节还原句 【解析】根据下文“That's about three times the height of Mount Qomolangma.”可知,此处介绍奥林帕斯山(另译为奥林匹斯山)的高度。A项“它大约有27千米高”与下文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选A。
7.E 细节还原句 【解析】根据下文“The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months.”可知,此处应介绍火星的天气情况。E项“然而,火星确实有天气,有云和风”与下文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选E。
8.B 段首主旨句 【解析】根据下文“Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed.”可知,此处介绍人类登陆火星所遇到的困难与挫折。B项“火星任务从来都不容易”统领全段,符合语境。故选B。
9.F 细节还原句 【解析】根据上文可知,尽管面临诸多挑战,中国专家对他们的火星探测计划充满信心,第一艘火星无人飞船于2020年左右在文昌发射升空。但这只是外太空深度航行的开始。F项“中国将继续探索宇宙的奥秘”承接上文,符合语境。故选F。

答案： 10.to learn 非谓语动词 【解析】此处表示纵观历史,人类一直在努力探索太空,以更多地了解宇宙,尽管在20世纪中期以前这被认为是不可能的。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词,此处应填动词不定式作目的状语。故填to learn。
11.impossible 形容词 【解析】此处表示纵观历史,人类一直在努力探索太空,以更多地了解宇宙,尽管在20世纪中期以前这被认为是不可能的。impossible不可能的,符合语境。故填impossible。
12.determined 词性转换 【解析】此处表示然而,许多科学家决心帮助人类实现他们的梦想。分析句子结构可知,此处考查固定短语be determined to do sth.,意为“下定决心做某事”。故填determined。
13.to be sent/sent 非谓语动词 【解析】此处表示随着第一颗卫星成功地发射并绕着地球轨道运行,尤里·加加林成为第一个在1961年被送入太空的宇航员。分析句子结构可知,此处考查“序数词+名词+不定式”的结构,其中,不定式作名词的后置定语;又因astronaut和send之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用不定式的被动语态,即to be done。同时,此处也可以直接使用过去分词作后置定语。故填to be sent/sent。
14.succeeded 动词的时态 【解析】此处表示在那之后,美国宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗成功地登上了月球。此处描述的是过去发生的事,时态应用一般过去时。故填succeeded。

18.Despite 介词 【解析】此处表示尽管困难重重,科学家们希望未来的发现不仅能让我们了解宇宙是如何开始的,还能帮助我们在未来好好地生存下去。根据语境可知,此处应用介词与空后的名词构成介宾结构,作让步状语。despite尽管,符合语境。故填Despite。注意首字母大写。
19.discoveries 名词的数 【解析】此处表示尽管困难重重,科学家们希望未来的发现不仅能让我们了解宇宙是如何开始的,还能帮助我们在未来好好地生存下去。根据语境可知,“未来的发现”是一个复数的概念,且discovery是可数名词。故填discoveries。
