Imagine a hotel not on Earth, but on the moon! A young man named Skylar Chan is working to make this a reality.

GRU Space, a startup set up by 21-year-old Skylar Chan, wants to open the world’s first moon hotel by 2032. It is already taking deposits (订金) from rich space lovers who dream of staying on the moon. The hotel will have basic facilities like bedrooms and windows for guests to enjoy the view of Earth.

The total cost of the rooms is not yet known, but Chan says it will be over $10 million. Luckily, people don’t have to pay all the money at first. The company now asks for deposits between $250,000 and $1,000,000, based on different choices such as room size and stay duration. GRU Space is not the first company to say it will build a moon hotel, but what makes it special is its way to realize the plan.

Instead of sending building materials and machines to the moon, it will use robot systems. These robots will make strong blocks from moon soil and put them together to build structures that can stand the bad lunar environment. The hotel’s construction is expected to start in 2029 if it gets official approval.

1.1.What is the main goal of GRU Space?

A To train young astronauts.

B To sell space research robots.

C To offer cheap space trips.

D To build the first moon hotel.

解析：选D。D细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句 “GRU Space, a startup set up by 21-year-old Skylar Chan, wants to open the world’s first moon hotel by 2032.” 可知，GRU Space 的核心目标是在 2032 年前开设全球首家月球酒店。选项 A（培训年轻宇航员）、B（销售太空研究机器人）、C（提供廉价太空旅行）在文中均未提及，属于无中生有，因此选 D。

2.2. How can people book a room in the moon hotel now?

A By paying the full price at once.

B By paying a certain amount of deposit.

C By joining a special space training.

D By winning a worldwide competition.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。文章第二段提到 “It is already taking deposits from rich space lovers who dream of staying on the moon”，第三段进一步补充 “people don’t have to pay all the money at first. The company now asks for deposits between $250,000 and $1,000,000”。这两处信息明确说明，现在预订月球酒店房间的方式是支付一定金额的订金，而非全款。选项 A（一次性支付全款）与原文矛盾；选项 C（参加特殊太空训练）、D（赢得全球竞赛）在文中没有相关表述，因此选 B。

3.3. What makes GRU Space’s building plan special?

A Using robot systems.

B Hiring human workers.

C Choosing cheap materials.

D Cooperating with big companies.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的 “what makes it special is its way to realize the plan. Instead of sending building materials and machines to the moon, it will use robot systems.” 可知，GRU Space 建造计划的独特之处在于，它不向月球运送建筑材料和设备，而是采用机器人系统来建造酒店。选项 B（雇佣人类工人）与原文 “用机器人系统” 的表述相反；选项 C（选择廉价材料）、D（与大公司合作）在文中未提及，因此选 A。

4.4. What does Skylar Chan believe about the future?

A Space travel will be cheaper soon.

B Moon hotels will be common soon.

C Humans may live on other planets.

D Robots will take over space projects.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。文章最后一段直接引用了 Skylar Chan 的观点：“they are in a special time when humans can live on other planets in their lifetime”，即他认为人类在有生之年可以在其他星球生活。选项 A（太空旅行很快会变便宜）、B（月球酒店很快会普及）、D（机器人将接管太空项目）均不是 Chan 提出的观点，属于主观臆断，因此选 C。

5.5. What is the passage mainly about?

A A moon hotel project.

B A young pilot’s dream.

C Robot systems on the moon.

D The future of space travel.

解析：选A。A 主旨大意题。全文围绕GRU Space公司计划建造第一家月球酒店展开，详细介绍了其目标、预订方式、建造技术和未来展望。选项B未准确概括全文核心（Chan是创业者而非飞行员）；选项C和D仅为文章部分细节，不足以概括全文。因此正确答案为A。
