The Artemis program represents a watershed moment in space exploration, marking humanity’s return
to deep space after a hiatus of more than five decades. 56
The long gap between these missions is largely the result of shifting political priorities. Unlike the
short-term nature of electoral cycles, deep-space exploration requires sustained national commitment over
decades. 57
Beyond political constraints, the technical challenges of lunar missions remain substantial. The Moon
is still a hazardous destination, as reflected in the historically high failure rate of landing attempts. Artemis
is not a simple revival of Apollo but a more advanced and complex program. 58 Moreover,
while advances in computing have greatly enhanced robotic exploration, they have not significantly reduced
the cost or risk associated with human spaceflight.
The long-term goals of the Artemis program also differ markedly from the “flags and footprints”
approach of the 1960s. Rather than brief visits, the aim is to establish a sustainable presence on the Moon.
59 A key element of this strategy is closer collaboration with the private sector; NASA
increasingly acts as a client, working with companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin within a competitive
commercial landscape.
Recent progress has been supported by data from earlier robotic missions, which have identified water
ice at the lunar poles—an essential resource for sustaining long-term human activity. At the same time, the
geopolitical context has evolved. 60 As China advances its own lunar program with a target
of around 2030, the prospect of a renewed space race is becoming increasingly plausible, highlighting the
continuing importance of leadership in lunar exploration.
(AB) In practice, frequent changes in direction under successive presidential administrations have disrupted
the continuity necessary for such ambitious undertakings.
(AC) Commercial commitments, international commitments and now the government—all three working
together is what’s really enabled humans to get to this point.
(AD) The United States’ former rivalry with the Soviet Union has transitioned into a more complex
competition involving a diverse array of nations with their own strategic lunar objectives.
(AE) While Artemis II is a lunar flyby rather than a landing, it marks a significant milestone: the first crewed
mission to the lunar vicinity since the Apollo program in 1972.
(BC) Much of the industrial infrastructure and specialized expertise that supported the Apollo missions no
longer exists, making a direct replication of 1960s technology impractical.
(BD) The protracted interval between these landmark missions is fundamentally a byproduct of oscillating
political will and shifting national priorities.
(BE) This shift requires the development of durable habitats and adaptable landing systems capable of
operating in the lunar environment for extended periods.

61. While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Housing policy is a significant issue that local governments deal with, as making sure everyone has a decent place to live is an important general priority.
• Many regions have a shortage of affordable housing—the full time (40 hours a week/52 weeks a year) "housing wage" that a person would need to earn in order for a two-bedroom rental unit to be affordable by the official government standard is far higher than average wages.
• An "affordable dwelling" varies from city to city but is defined as one that a household can obtain for 30% or less of its income.
• Two basic types of policies that could make a difference in housing affordability are the government directly giving money or discounted housing to low-income families and increasing the number of dwellings in a given area by relaxing restrictions on the size of buildings that can be built, or by relaxing restrictions that mandate minimum sizes of individual dwelling units. Most cities tend to have several zoning rules that artificially restrict the supply of housing.

The student wants to emphasize the potential role of local government in creating affordable housing. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
(A) Everyone deserves a decent place to live and affordable housing uplifts residents, encourages social connections, reduces overcrowding, and local governments are the ones who should take the lead to provide it.
(B) For a home to be "affordable," it should not cost more than 30% of the household income to buy or rent.
(C) Local governments can pass measures to increase the opportunities for affordable housing by creating policies that work for their constituents.
(D) The definition of affordable housing is not the same from state to state because the cost of living varies from state to state, so local governments must work to find out the numbers for their own town's residents.
62. In the realm of microbiology, bacteriophages, or phages, play a pivotal role in a specialized biomedical application known as phage therapy. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria, and their unique ability to target specific bacterial strains makes them valuable tools for combating bacterial infections. Phage therapy involves utilizing these viruses to treat bacterial infections in a highly targeted manner, offering an alternative to traditional antibiotics. This specialized biomedical intervention has gained renewed interest as researchers explore personalized medicine, tailoring bacteriophages to individual patients based on the specific bacterial strains causing infections. The potential of phage therapy lies in its specificity and ability to evolve alongside bacteria, presenting a promising avenue in the ongoing battle against antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Which of the following statements best explains why doctors are increasingly interested in phage therapy?
(A) Phage therapy is a valuable tool for combatting bacterial infections.
(B) It is based in microbiology and makes use of bacteriophages.
(C) It is the only way to combat illnesses caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
(D) Phage therapy can be personalized to address the needs of individual patients, making it a potential solution for unique or difficult-to-fight infections.

[Reading Text]
Throughout history, grand architecture has served as a symbol of national identity and power. Two of the most significant examples are the Louvre in Paris and the Palace Museum in Beijing. Both have undergone a remarkable transformation from exclusive royal residences into massive public museums. Today, these palace museums serve as essential gateways to understanding the art and cultural heritage of their respective nations.

The Louvre: Situated on the banks of the Seine in central Paris, the Louvre is the world's largest art museum. It houses a vast collection of nearly 300,000 items across hundreds of galleries. It initially served as a medieval fortress to protect the city from Viking raids. King Charles V later transformed part of the structure into a royal library. By 1624, King Louis XIII had expanded the palace to four times its previous size. The masterpieces were reserved exclusively for the monarchy until after the French Revolution. On November 8, 1793, the museum officially opened its doors. Today, it is renowned for its blend of architectural styles, most notably the iconic glass pyramid designed by I. M. Pei.

The Palace Museum: Located in the center of Beijing, the Palace Museum is housed within the Forbidden City, the world's largest palatial complex, spanning 720,000 square meters with nearly 10,000 rooms. For five centuries, the Forbidden City was a strictly prohibited zone where the emperor lived largely isolated from ordinary citizens. Built in the early 1400s during the Ming Dynasty, the palace was designed according to ancient feng-shui principles. In 1925, following the end of the monarchy, the gates were opened to the public. While it houses over 1.8 million exquisite artifacts, the wooden architecture itself remains the primary attraction. Today, leading digital technologies such as VR, AI, and 3D modeling have been employed to digitize over one million artifacts, enabling high-quality, immersive, interactive user experiences.
Essay: Managing Anonymous Dissent

You recently assigned a complex writing project to your students. A few days later, you discover an anonymous post on a popular student social media forum criticizing the assignment as "burdensome" and "pointless," a sentiment that has gained significant support from other students. As their teacher, how would you address this situation professionally and pedagogically? Please write an essay to discuss your immediate response, communication strategy with the class, and reflective process regarding your instructional design.
