题目

阅读理解The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA)is making progress on its rover(月球车)for a joint mission with India to the south pole of the moon. JAXA and the Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO)agreed to the cooperative project back in 2019. ISRO, which recently made India the fourth country to soft-land on the moon, will build the mission's lander, while JAXA will be responsible for the launch and a lunar rover. The mission is expected to launch no earlier than 2025 on Japan's new H3 rocket. The agency is meanwhile in the basic design phase of the rover with teams running tests in sand designed to simulate the fine dust that covers the moon's surface. The tests will check if the vehicle can perform its key science objectives on the moon. "The project will investigate the quantity and quality of water on the moon. We hope to use this data as a basis for considering sustainable human activities on the moon in the future," Natsu Fujioka, who is part of the team developing the rover, said in a JAXA statement. The rover will be autonomous and will drive to seek out water. It will also be able to drill into the lunar surface to collect samples which will then be analyzed by the rover's instruments. Each of these capabilities is a feat(壮举)in itself, but combining these and within weight restrictions, presents a serious task. "If water can be found in these regions, it could be used as an energy source for future human activities on the moon. For this reason, many countries are making efforts," continued Natsu Fujioka. India launched the successful Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing mission this year, while Russia failed with its Luna-25 landing mission. Next year, NASA is scheduled to launch Artemis 2 in November 2024 to send astronauts around the moon. China meanwhile seeks to collect the first ever samples from the far side of the moon and bring them to Earth in 2024. （1） Which can best replace the underlined word "simulate" in Paragraph 3? A . clean up. B . break down. C . act as. D . look into. （2） What task will the rover perform on the moon? A . To set up data base. B . To hunt for water. C . To explore the whole moon. D . To conduct the fourth soft-land. （3） What can we infer from the last paragraph? A . International competitiveness is severe. B . The moon will become a focus of the world. C . Many countries are hoping to move to the moon. D . Many countries are actively pursuing lunar exploration. （4） What is mainly talked about in the text? A . A joint mission to the moon. B . A successful landing on the moon. C . Japan's first cooperation with India. D . Human's progress in exploring space. 答案： C B D A
