Artemis is NASA’s new lunar exploration program. Through the Artemis program，NASA will use new technology to study the Moon in new and better ways，and prepare for human missions to Mars.
NASA’s new rocket will carry the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit. Then，astronauts will dock（对接）Orion at a small spaceship called the Gateway，from which the crew will take trips to the lunar surface in a new human landing system，and then return to the Gateway. The crew will return to Earth aboard Orion.
NASA will test the rocket and the spacecraft in flight，and then send a crew for a test flight:
Artemis 1 will be a test flight of the SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft with no crew.
Artemis 2 will fly SLS and Orion with a crew past the moon, then circle it and return to Earth. This trip will be the farthest any human has gone into space.
Artemis 3 will send a crew with the first woman and the next man to land on the moon by 2024.
The Artemis 3 crew will visit the moon’s South Pole. No one has ever been there. On the Moon, astronauts will:
Search for the Moon’ s water and use it.
Learn how to live and work on the surface of another celestial body (天体) where astronauts are just three days from home.
Test the technologies we need before sending astronauts on missions to Mars.
The Moon is a good place to learn new science NASA will learn more about the Moon. Earth and even the Sun. The Moon is a “test bed” for Mars. The Moon is a place to show that astronauts will one day be able to work away from Earth on Mars for long periods of time.

（2020山东烟台高二联考）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
There were three boys, Martin, Tom and Jack, who like camping very much. One day, Jack told Martin and Tom that he knew a very good place to go. They set off for a new adventure together when they got ready.
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness，but it could not prevent the damp and the cold of Dennis’s Swamp（沼泽地）creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”
“OK, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack and he began his tale.
Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“You are clearing too much land,” warned one old man. “The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.”
“Such a fool,” said Dennis to himself. “If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
Paragraph 1:
“The land hit back-just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged.
Paragraph 2:
Few minutes later，Tom woke up slowly.
参考答案：
I. 语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了NASA新的月球探索计划 Artemis。通过 Artemis计划，美国将用新技术以更好的方式研究月球，并为前往火星做准备。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，Artemis是NASA新的月球探索计划。通过 Artemis计划，NASA将使用新技术以新的、更好的方式研究月球，并为人类前往火星的任务做准备，故选B。
2. A 细节理解题。根据文中的 The Artemis3 crew will visit the Moon’s South pole可知选A。
3. C 细节理解题。根据文中的 Search for the Moon’s water and use it.可知选C。
4. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，月球是学习新科学的好地方。NASA将更多地了解月球、地球，甚至太阳。月球是火星的“试验台”。月球是一个表明宇航员有朝一日能够远离地球在火星上工作很长一段时间的地方。由此可推断出 Artemis计划对火星探索有很大帮助。故选D。
Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文中列举了保护自己免受病毒侵袭的方法。
1. G 该空的作用是承上启下，根据下文列举的预防方法，G项符合逻辑，是一个过渡句。

3. C 由该空所在的位置可以判断，此处应该是一个主题句。且其后项目都是有关洗手的，所以答案是C。
4. E 结合该空所在的段落可以看出，其与公共场合如医院、火车站和飞机场等有关，在这些公共场合应该戴口罩，因此答案为E。
5. B 由文章的结构判断，此处应该是祈使句，并与家禽、家畜等有关，因此答案为B。
Ⅲ.写作指导
在续写前，学生首先应该理清文章的脉络。本文先写到三个爱野外露营的男孩在一片沼泽地露营的特殊经历，主要提到了一个由于 Dennis贪婪而毁坏环境，即这片沼泽如何形成的故事。学生可以从环境保护的话题续写，确保情节合理即可。在写作过程中，可适当用一些衔接词，以使内容连贯；还可使用些复杂句式，来提高作文的档次。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1
“The land hit back-just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him under water. His body was never found.” “What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and lost consciousness. The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
Paragraph 2:
Few minutes later, Tom woke up slowly. Having though about what happened and the amazing story, Tom made up his mind to change the environment here. He wanted the crystal-clear river back. He shared his idea with the other two boys. They began to tell that story to their classmates and friends. More and more people joined them. A lot of trees and flowers were grown on the land. After many years, the land was back to life because of the great efforts everyone made.
