【世纪金榜】2015年高考英语大一轮复习 unit 4 astronomythe science of the stars课时作业 新人教版必修3. 阅读理解awho owns the moon?within the next ten years, the u. s. , china, israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. so if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property(财产)rights? a nasa working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: who owns the moon? the answer, of course, is no use. the outer space treaty, the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies(天体)are the province of all mankind. no doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the middle ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs. but ownership is different from property rights. people who rent apartments, for example, dont own where they live, but they still hold rights. so with all of the upcoming missions(派遣团)to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush. “this is a very relevant discussion right now. weve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world, ”said william marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at nasa, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by nasas co lab, a collaborative(协力完成的)public-private working group. he was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency. to be sure, the united states aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. china and israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. and for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the google lunar x prize. some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission. 【文章大意】本文介绍了世界范围内的登陆月球热, 以及作者对这种现象的担忧。1. in the passage the writer seems to be worrying that. a. the us will live on the moon foreverb. the moon will not be able to hold all mankindc. the potential land rush will become more and more frequentd. no one can answer the question“who owns the moon? ”【解析】选c。细节理解题。根据第三段space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush一句可知太空行业认为领导人们正严肃地问自己如何应对潜在的登陆热, 这也表达了作者的担心。2. “the google lunar x prize”aims to. a. encourage private groups to land on the moonb. help nasa host a discussion about land rush on the moonc. help some developing countries to complete their lunar projectsd. reward some countries or private groups which havent stepped on the moon【解析】选a。细节理解题。根据最后一段several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the google lunar x prize一句可知google lunar x prize用来鼓励私人团体登陆月球。3. the underlined word“that”in the first paragraph refers to. a. the outer space treatyb. if and when they plant a flagc. the nasa working groupd. monks from the middle ages【解析】选b。词义猜测题。that代指前句中的if and when they plant a flag。本句意为: 如果当他们在月球上插上一面国旗时, 这会赋予他们领土所有权么?
