(II) Deep Space Exploration (14 marks)

①The Earth on which human beings live is only a drop in the ocean in the vast universe. The development of artificial Earth satellites and human space-finding technology has made mankind's understanding of the universe more and more distant; and the exploration of deeper and wider space has become the main goal of modern human space activities.

②Deep space exploration mainly includes the detection of the moon, the detection of planets and their satellites, as well as the detection of asteroids and comets in three major aspects. Specifically, it is the detection of planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, etc. in the solar system other than the Earth, as well as the detection of the Milky Way outside the solar system and the entire universe. It is another field of space technology development following satellite applications and human space search. Deep space exploration is of great significance to mankind's understanding of the origin, evolutionary history and current status of the solar system, further understanding of the formation and evolution of the Earth's environment, exploration of the origin and evolution of life, and the active development and utilization of space resources. The overall scientific objectives of deep space exploration can be broadly summarized as follows; to explore the origin and evolution of the solar system and the universe (including life); to develop and utilize space resources (the space environment, energy and resources, etc.); to develop space technology and promote the advancement of science and technology; to expand the living space of humankind; and to serve the long-term sustainable development of human society.

③Since the 1990s, people have turned their attention to the Moon. On the one hand, the development of modern space technology has provided mankind with the possibility of further exploring the Moon, and on the other hand, the unique natural environment and resources of the Moon have always attracted mankind. There is no atmospheric interference on the Moon, which is a holy place for scientific experiments and astronomical observations. If an astronomical observatory is set up on the lunar surface, many strange phenomena in the universe will be detected. The gravitational force of the Moon is only 1/6 of that of the Earth: the fuel needed to launch rockets will be much less than that on the ground, so the Moon is also a rare space launching base. The discovery of a large amount of ice and water at the two poles of the moon has made mankind look at the moon, because with water, the basic conditions for the survival of mankind on the moon are already in place. People can use water to get hydrogen and oxygen, oxygen and water for people to breathe and drink, make plants grow, chlorine and oxygen can also be used as fuel for the fire azure, for the spaceship to return to the earth or go to mars or more transportation interstellar adventure. In this way, it is not a fantasy for mankind to establish permanent laboratories or even settlements on the Moon, and the Moon may well become a staging area for human expeditions to other stars.

④Another notable object in deep space exploration is the closest planet to humans, Mars. Mars is the closest planet to Earth outside of Earth's orbit, second only to Venus in distance from Earth, and the farthest rocky planet from the Sun in the solar system, most similar to Earth. The diameter of Mars is about 1/2 of the Earth, the mass is 1/10 of the Earth, the rotation period is comparable to the Earth. The rotation period is about 1.88 times that of the Earth. Mars is surrounded by a thin atmosphere, thousands of dry riverbeds. Due to the special location of Mars, as well as the size and environment and the most similar to the Earth, and thus as the best human large space immigration place and attention, so when the direct exploration of Mars has a great attraction. Over the years, mankind *** initiated more than 30 Mars exploration program, took a large number of pictures, obtained a wealth of data on the surface of Mars, for the future of Mars soft landing and human landing on Mars has laid a solid foundation.

⑤Deep space exploration is a comprehensive manifestation of a country's comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological level, and is an inevitable choice for the development of China's space activities. Starting from 2002, our country once again to carry out the moon exploration project - "Chang'e" project comprehensive demonstration work, to the present "moon project" has been set up a project, the second and third phase of the project is in the process of demonstration. The second and third phases of the project are in the process of demonstration. The Moon Exploration Project*** is divided into three phases: the first phase of the project is referred to as "orbiting", and it is expected that a lunar exploration satellite will be launched within three years to fly around the Moon and return three-dimensional images: the second phase of the project is "landing", and lunar zorroids or moon robots will be sent to land on the surface of the Moon for scientific exploration; the third phase of the project is called the "Chang'e" project, which is a comprehensive validation work. The third phase of the project is called "return", and will return to the Earth after the collection of lunar samples and other tasks are completed.

(3) Burying the Can't (10 marks)

Donna, a veteran teacher at a Michigan elementary school in the U.S., was about to retire in two years. She has volunteered to participate in a program designed to encourage students to have confidence in themselves and to love their lives through some form of expression. Donna's job is to bring these ideas to fruition by participating in the training.

One of the first lessons she taught was to ask students to fill in the blanks about what they thought they couldn't do.

All of the students filled in the blanks very carefully. Some wrote: "I can't kick a soccer ball over the second goal line," "I can't do division with more than three digits," "There's no way I can get Mike to like me"; some wrote: "I can't do ten sit-ups," "I can't serve the ball over the net in front of me," "I can't stop at just one cookie," and so on. At the same time, Donna was carefully writing sentences such as "I can't get John's mother to come to the mother-son conference," and "I can't discipline Aaron properly without corporal punishment.

When most of the students had filled the entire sheet of paper, and some had even begun to write on the next page, Donna told the students to fold the paper in half and hand it over to the front. In turn, the students went to the teacher's desk and dropped their papers into an empty shoebox. After collecting all the students' papers, Donna dropped hers in. She closed the box, tucked it under her armpit, and led the way out of the classroom and down the hallway, with the students following the teacher. Halfway down the hall, the whole procession stopped. Donna went into the guard room, found shovels and trowels, and led the way to the far corner edge of the playing field, where everyone began to dig.

They were going to bury "I Can't". The digging process took ten minutes, as each child took a turn, until the hole was three feet deep, when they put the box in place and buried it completely in dirt.

Thirty teenage children, around the freshly dug "graveyard", everyone "can't win" things, are y buried in the three feet of soil.

At this point Donna spoke, "Children, now hold hands and bow your heads in silence." The students held hands and formed a circle around the cemetery, bowed their heads and waited. Donna read a eulogy:

"Friends, it is an honor to have you here today for the funeral of Mr. 'I Can't'. When he was alive, he seeped into our lives and influenced us even more than anyone else. His name was on our lips almost every day in a variety of settings: such as schools, city halls, councils and even the White House."

"Now, may Mr. 'I Can't' rest in peace and have his tombstone and epitaph inscribed. The dead are gone, and it is hoped that your siblings 'I Can' and 'I Will' will carry on your work. Though they are not as famous and influential as you, if you are alive, please help them to be more influential to the world."

"May Mr. 'I Can't' rest in peace and may his death encourage more people to stand up and move forward. Amen!" She then led the students back to the classroom, where they all celebrated their unraveling of "I can't" by eating cookies and popcorn together.

Donna cut out paper in the shape of a tombstone and wrote "I can't" with "Rest in peace!" in the center. Then fill in the date. Donna hangs the paper tombstone in her classroom. Whenever a student unintentionally says the words "I can't ......", Donna simply points to the symbol of death and the children remember that "I can't" is dead. The children would then remember that "I can't" was dead and come up with a positive solution.

The 31 students in Donna's class went on to become very successful in their careers, some becoming leaders in politics and economics.

1, Donna as a teacher, like students to fill out their "can not do", she wanted to use this way to tell students what? What is the role? (2 points)

2. Why didn't Donna have her students write all the "can't do's" before she turned them in? Why did she have each child take a turn digging in the dirt? (2 points)

3. What is meant by "not being able to do it" in the text? (Give 2 examples) 2 points

4. "I can't" what other good "brothers and sisters" like "I can" and "I will"? "? (list 3 more) 2 points

16.(4 points) Possible, the reason is: Mars location, size and environment is most similar to the Earth, is the best place for human space immigration (2 points); more than 40 years initiated the Mars exploration program, obtained pictures, data and information for the realization of the dream of space immigration to lay a solid foundation (2 points)

(3) 1, tell students that the teacher also have "can't do". Or: Teachers also want to bury their "can't do". The effect is that the teacher's actions can eliminate the students' feelings of inferiority. 2.

The form is too fake and contains too many elements of drama to achieve the effect
