On November 11, the Mars rover(漫步者) (name) Curiosity started its journey into space. After eight months flying in a rocket, Curiosity covered more than 566 million kilometers and finally landed on Mars — according to BBC reports.
The rover is there to find out there is, or ever was, life on the cold, desert-like planet.
The place Curiosity landed is called Gale Crater, a huge hole on Mars. Scientists believe that there (be) once water and even life there.
In order to do its job, Curiosity is packed with many (use) tools, though it is only three meters long, about the size of a small car.
It has a robot arm that can collect soil and drill into rock. It also carries own laser gun. The gun can turn a small amount of rock into gas, so that Curiosity can study what the rock (make) up of.
the help of these tools, Curiosity will act as a robot geologist. For the next two years, it will stay and travel inside Gale Crater, (collect) and studying rock and soil.

Answer 1

【答案】hopefully；named；if/whether；where；was；useful；its；is made；With；collecting
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述火星“漫游者”Curiosity的故事。

⑴考查副词。hopefully表示“有希望地”，作状语。所以答案是hopefully。

⑵考查非谓语动词。过去分词named在句中作定语，修饰“the Mars rover”，此处表示“一个名叫Curiosity的火星漫游者”。所以答案是named。

⑶考查名词性从句。根据语境可知，这里应该是一个由whether引导的宾语从句。所以答案是whether。

⑷考查定语从句关系词。The place作先行词，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，所以答案是where。

⑸考查时态。句意：科学家认为那里曾经有水甚至生命。表示过去的状态用一般过去时态，所以答案是was。

⑹考查形容词。形容词修饰名词，所以答案是useful。

⑺ 考查物主代词。own前面用形容词性物主代词，根据主语it可知答案为its。

⑻考查动词时态与语态。be made up of是固定搭配，意为“由……组成”。根据语境可知此处应用一般现在时的被动语态。所以答案是is made。

⑼考查介词。with the help of...表示“在……的帮助下”。所以答案是With。

⑽考查非谓语动词。根据与主语it是主动关系，故此处用现在分词表伴随状态，所以答案是collecting。
