Question

【题目】 Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone（里程碑） in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe（探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon. After a 26-day journey, it touched softly down on a crater. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind's space exploration.

The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see. We don't know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal (理想的 ) place for scientific research.It may have unique minerals (矿物质 ) and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.

Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data (数据 ) collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang'e 4 mission (任务 ) is a major achievement for China's space program.

China launched its lunar (月球的 ) exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e. Chinese scientists set three goals—“orbiting (环绕运行 ) , landing and sample (样本 ) returning”. Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.

Following the success of the Chang'e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system (太阳系 ) . China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.

【1】Chang'e 4 is the first space probe in the world to land ．

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述嫦娥四号成为历史上第一个登录月球背面的重要事件，标志着我国深空探索进入了新的阶段，随着嫦娥任务的成功，科学家正在进一步探索我们的太阳系，中国第一个火星任务将在2020年完成。

【1】细节理解题。根据On Jan 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe（探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon可知，嫦娥四号是世界上第一个登录到月球背面的探测器，故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal (理想的 ) place for scientific research可知，它是科学研究的理想场所，故选C。

【3】词义猜测题。根据It may have unique minerals (矿物质) and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there可知，它可能有独特的矿物质和其他的资源，而且科学家能够对深空进行更清晰的观察，所以observation的意思为观察，故选B。

【4】细节理解题。根据Chinese scientists set three goals—“orbiting (环绕运行 ) , landing and sample (样本 ) returning”可知，中国科学家制定了三个目标：环绕运行、登录和采集样本返回三个阶段，所以第二阶段是登录月球，故选A。

【5】主旨大意题。根据全文可知，本文主要讲述嫦娥四号登录到月球背面这一重大事件，并且讲述月球探险项目的目标以及此次事件的意义。都是围绕探险月球展开的，故选B。

解答词义猜测题时，可以使用如下技巧：1、根据上下文来猜测词义；2、通过同义词或近义词来猜测词义；3、通过构词法来猜测词义；4、通过定义或释义来猜测词义；5、通过句法功能来猜测词义；6、通过转折和因果关系来猜测词义；7. 通过生活常识来猜测词义。对于这类题采取“代入法”也非常有效，即将备选答案逐一代入文中，哪一个选项能使句子的意思通顺、连贯，且与上下文的内容一致，哪一个选项就是该题的正确答案。例如第3题。
