IV.阅读理解(每小题2分，共20分)

A

The rockets take astronauts and man­made satellites(卫星)into space.The satellites are used for communication，weather monitoring and research.But how do satellites stay up without falling down?

There are two opposite forces(力量)acting on the satellite.One of them is the force of gravitation(地心引力)，which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth.The other force is created by the rotation(旋转)of the satellite around the earth.This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth.With these two forces，the satellite goes round and round.The gravitational pull of the earth(the force which pulls everything towards the ground)is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.

Everything that goes up has to come down.It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth.As time goes by，the satellite loses its speed，which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away.This makes the satellite crash(坠落)down to the earth.

(　　　　)1. Which of the following uses of satellites is not mentioned?

A．Communication.

B．Monitoring the weather condition.

C．Doing some research.

D．Taking pictures.

(　　　　)2. The force that tries to take the satellite away from the earth is created by ________．

A．the earth   B．the satellite itself 

C．the rotation of the satellite  D．the rope

(　　　　)3. Why can't the satellite fly away?

A．Because of the force from the earth.

B．Because the satellite is too big.

C．Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.

D．Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellite tightly.

(　　　　)4. The satellite will finally crash down to the earth ________．

A．when it flies faster 

B．when its speed slows down

C．when people cut the rope

D．when there is no electricity in it

(　　　　)5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．There are four forces acting on the satellite.

B．The force of gravitation makes the satellite go around and around.

C．As time goes by，the satellite will finally fall down.

D．The satellite will stay in space forever.

B

On Dec.28，a small satellite was launched(发射)into space from Taiyuan，Shanxi.It was big news for students at Beijing Bayi School.After all，they designed the satellite.

With the help of space scientists，more than 30 students built this satellite(12 cm long，11 cm wide and 27 cm tall)．This is the first satellite designed and built by middle school students in China.

This August，the school worked with the China Center For Aerospace Science and Technology International Communications(CCASTIC中国航天科技国际交流中心)and started the satellite program.It allowed space experts to teach students about basic knowledge of satellites.

After several months of hard work，students designed their own satellite.Their main achievement was the design of the satellite's functions(功能)in space.“We worked together and came up with more than 10 ideas.But after tests and experiments，we settled__on four，” Zhu Xun，16，told Beijing Evening News.

Indeed，they have to consider the weight of the satellite.The satellite will stay in space more than 180 days.Its functions include taking pictures of Earth，radio communication and sending information to Earth.The students hope that the satellite can take photos of smog，typhoons(台风)and other weather conditions.

The students were divided into five groups.The group members worked closely to make satellite models.“Every time we think the satellite we are designing will fly into space，we are so excited and try to do experiments，” said Shen Shulang，17.They also visited the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other organizations to get inspiration(灵感)．

(　　　)6. ________ designed the small satellite.

A．Students from Beijing Bayi School

B．Some space scientists

C．Some space experts

(　　　)7. The satellite can NOT ________．

A．take pictures of Earth

B．send information

C．predict the weather

(　 　)8. The underlined words “settled on” means ________ in Chinese.

A．计算  　　B．确定  　　　　　C．总计

(　　)9. ________ helped the students build the small satellite.

A．The school  　　B．Space scientists  　　　　　C．CCASTIC

(　　)10. What's the main idea of this passage?

A．The first student­designed satellite was launched into space.

B．Space experts taught the students about the basic knowledge of satellites.

C．Students visited some science organizations to get inspiration.

V.任务型阅读 (每小题2分，共10分)

What was living in the ISS like?

Living in space is common to astronauts. But what if it is a task of nearly a year?

US astronaut Scott Kelly was in the International Space Station (ISS) for 340 days. It is the longest time a US astronaut has spent in space at a time. Kelly's stay is part of the Twins Study. When Scott Kelly spent nearly a year in the ISS, his twin brother Mark Kelly lived on Earth. They gave scientists more ways to study human space flight.

Usually living in the ISS for such a long time is boring. Was it the same for Kelly? Let's take a look.

Good morning, everyone!

It's time to enjoy a sunrise. But for Kelly, it was one of the 16 sunrises he saw each day in the ISS. Isn't that cool?

Work comes first.

During his stay, Kelly and his partners did about 400 science experiments. One of them was about planting vegetables. And they did it! Growing vegetables will be helpful for longer space journeys.

Moving with microgravity(微重力).

As we all know, space is a place with microgravity, which influences human bodies. So Kelly did exercise more than 700 hours in the ISS. That is about two hours of exercise a day. Microgravity also makes some easy things difficult. Kelly often slept in a sleeping bag, or his arms would float (飘浮) in front of him all the time.

Boring? Why not do something for fun?

Kelly loved taking photos from space and sharing them with the world online. Even President Obama was his fan. Under one of his photos, Obama wrote, “Hey, loving the photos. Do you ever look out of the window and just freak out(吓坏了)？” “I don't freak out about anything, Mr. President. Except getting a question from you, ” Kelly replied.
