【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。中国成功发射“天问一号”火星探测器，该探测器肩负什么重任？这次发射又引发了什么热潮呢？
1. to reach　考查非谓语动词。 本句使用了短语expect sb./sth. to do “预计某人/某物做……”的被动结构，故填to reach。
2. harder　考查形容词的比较级。根据语境和空后的compared to“和……相比”可知，此处要用形容词的比较级harder。
3. designed　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，mission后是非限制性定语，design与mission是逻辑上的动宾关系，且此处表示动作已经发生，故用动词的­ed形式。
4. has progressed　考查时态和主谓一致。 根据句中的时间状语in the past years 可知， indicates后的宾语从句要用现在完成时。宾语从句的主语是the country's space science and technology，应视为单数，故填has progressed。注意：此处的progress是动词，意为“进步，进展”。
5. scientific　考查形容词。本空作定语修饰名词truth，故用science的形容词形式scientific“科学的”。
6. it　考查形式主语。 根据语境可知，and后的句子是“it is ＋过去分词＋that从句”句型，其中it是形式主语，that从句是真正的主语。故填it。
7. curiosity　考查名词。本空与后面的thirst并列作主语，故用名词curiosity。
8. obviously　考查副词。本空所填词修饰谓语动词，应该用副词obviously“显然，明显地”。
9. for　考查介
