2．
细节理解题。根据“Zhai Zhigang ... having dne it when he was a missin cmmander during the Shenzhu VII missin in September 2008.”可知翟志刚参与了2008年9月神舟七号任务。故选C。
3．
推理判断题。根据“China launched the Shenzhu XIII manned spacecraft at 12:23 a.m. n Octber 16, 2021”可知本文与载人飞船和宇航员有关，最有可能出现在科学报纸上。故选C。
On Dec. 9, 2021, three Chinese astrnauts gave a science lecture 400 kilmeters abve Earth. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, wh are wrking abard the Tiangng space statin, shwed millins f students their life there. They als did sme fun science experiments. Let’s take a lk at sme f them.
Use it r lse it
The human bdy grws with the pull f Earth’s gravity（重力）. But in space, ur bnes and muscles（肌肉） dn’t need t sustain ur bdy’s weight. This will cause bne and muscle lss. NASA says that astrnauts can lse up t 20 percent f their muscles after just a cuple f weeks. That is dangerus because they will be t weak t wrk.
Astrnauts have different ways t prevent this. During the lecture, Zhai intrduced a special unifrm Ye was wearing. It’s called a “penguin suit”. There are many elastic bands（弹力带） inside the suit. Wearing it, astrnauts use their muscles t stretch（拉紧） the bands. This keeps their muscles strng.
▲
During anther experiment, Wang made a water film（膜）. Then she added mre water which drps nt the film t make it a water ball. This can never happen n Earth. Why?
We need t first understand the surface tensin（表面张力） f water. It is like a “skin” f water. The “skin” is there because water mlecules（分子） are drawn t each ther. Mst f the time, gravity is t strng and it breaks the “skin”. But with zer gravity in space, the “skin” stays strng and the water ball will nt break.
Water in space acts differently frm water n Earth in ther ways. Fr example, water will nt flw dwnward if yu try t pur it int a cup. That’s why astrnauts usually drink water thrugh straws（吸管） in clsed bags.
4．What can we learn abut the lecture frm space?
A．It is a part f the astrnauts’ daily wrk.
B．It tk place 4,000 kilmeters abve Earth.
C．It tk place in the Tiangng space statin.
D．It is ne f the astrnauts’ ways t ask fr help.

【答案】4．C
5．D
6．A
7．D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述中国宇航员在400千米的地方举行的太空讲座。
4．
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, wh are wrking abard the Tiangng space statin, shwed millins f students their life there.”可知这个太空讲座是在天宫太空站上进行的。故选C。
5．
词句猜测题。根据第二段倒数第二句“NASA says that astrnauts can lse up t 20 percent f their muscles after just a cuple f weeks.”可知这些宇航员在一两周后失去高达20%的肌肉量，而这是很危险的，因为宇航员们会因为太虚弱以致不能工作，说明“they”指的是宇航员。故选D。
6．
主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句“Water in space acts differently frm water n Earth in ther ways.”可知这一段通过举例说明太空中的水和地球上的水的行动方式是不一样的，因此选项A“太空的水是不一样的”符合题意。故选A。
7．
推理判断题。根据文章第一句“On Dec. 9, 2021, three Chinese astrnauts gave a science lecture 400 kilmeters abve Earth.”可知本文围绕2021年12月9日三位宇航员在天宫太空站给学生们做的讲座这一话题进行详细地说明，由此可知这篇文章意在介绍了宇航员们主讲的这一场太空讲座。故选D。
Wang Yaping, tgether with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went int space abard the Shenzhu XIII n Octber 16th. The 41-year-ld Wang became the first female astrnaut (女航天员) t enter Tiangng space statin.
Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astrnaut Yang Liwei int space. At that time, Wang was a pilt in the Chinese army. After having safe flights fr 1,600 hurs ver nine years, Wang was a strng candidate t becme an astrnaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The space envirnment wn’t change because yu are a wman,” she tld Xinbua.
The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) machine, Wang wuld becme blind fr a while because her brain was shrt f bld. “There’s a red buttn (按钮), said Wang.” If yu can’t bear it, yu can press it t stp.” But Wang never used it. “There is n such red buttn in my heart.” That strng spirit finally made her dream cme true in 2013. She jined the team fr the Shenzhu X missin.
Wang said that as astrnauts, wmen have their wn advantages (优势). “Wmen may be mre patient and can better deal with lneliness. Wmen’s hearts are als easier t adapt (适应) t the weightless envirnment, making them mre suitable fr lng-term missins.”
Wang Yaping went a lng way befre becming the first wman t enter the Tiangng space statin. She sets a gd example fr all wmen wh dream f ging t space.

【解析】本文介绍了第一位进入天宫空间站的女宇航员——王亚平，她是如何通过自身努力实现自己的梦想的。
8．
词义猜测题。根据下文“She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men.”可知，她努力训练自己，接受和男人一样的训练。由此推断，王亚平成为2010年宇航员的有力候选人后，接受了和男人一样的训练。因此画线部分单词candidate是“候选人”的意思。故选C。
9．
推理判断题。根据“Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astrnaut Yang Liwei int space.”可知，王亚平的太空梦想始于2003年，选项B“2003年，王亚平梦想成为一名宇航员。”表述正确，故选B。
10．
细节理解题。根据“Wmen may be mre patient and can better deal with lneliness. Wmen’s hearts are als easier t adapt (适应) t the weightless envirnment, making them mre suitable fr lng-term missins.”可知，作为宇航员，女性有自己的优势：女性可能更有耐心，能够更好地应对孤独。女性的心脏也更容易适应失重环境，使其更适合长期任务。故选A。
11．
推理判断题。根据“She sets a gd example fr all wmen wh dream f ging t space.”以及整个文章的理解可知，王亚平通过自身的刻苦努力，经过多年的训练，终于圆了她的太空梦。由此推断，她的故事告诉我们：世上无难事，只怕有心人。故选D。

That is why Kelly and his partner Kjell Lindgren perfrmed activities, utside the statin n Wednesday. The peratin began at 8:03 am and lasted fr mre than seven hurs. It was the first spacewalk fr bth men.
The ISS has been in cntinual use fr 15 years, and has hsted ver 200 peple. including astrnauts and private turists. During their activities, Kelly and Lindgren did basic electrical wrk, such as attaching new wires that will prvide pwer t dcking prts（接轨舱门）n the statin. The prts will be used when ther peple arrive at the ISS in2017. Als, the tw astrnauts fixed a thermal(热的)cver n a key scientific instrument n the statin t prtect it frm the freezing temperatures f space.
As the mre senir astrnaut, Kelly led the spacewalk. Hwever, Lindgren dealt with sme f the mre challenging parts f the jb as he has lnger arms than Kelly.
During a spacewalk, the simplest wrk becmes a difficult task. Kelly and Lindgren spent mnths training and practicing fr the peratin. The preparatin began in NASA’S Neutral Buyancy Lab(NBL).Here astrnauts are made t wrk in an envirnment similar t the ne utside the space statin
Even getting the space suits ready can take days. While each suit is built t fit perfectly n the astrnaut wh will wear it, adjustments(调整)need t be made right up t the time when the spacewalk begins. The adjustments address any changes in the astrnauts’ bdies that have ccurred as a result f being in a gravity-free envirnment.
30．What is the main idea f the third paragraph?
A．Hw the ISS is wrking prperly.B．Why the dcking prts are useful
C．What the tw astrnauts did in the spacewalkD．Hw the astrnauts perfrmed the spacewalk.

Althugh visiting uter space is still a far dream fr anyne wh isn’t an astrnaut, a day trip t stars is already pen fr peple t rder!
A new cmpany, Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans t run up t 500 flights frm different places acrss the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the uter side f space culd be as easy as flying abrad in a few years’ time. Spacemen and passengers will travel in Neptune, a capsule (航天舱) tied t a huge balln.
They will mve slwly upwards right t the side f space, 30 km away frm the Earth. There, space turists will be able t lk back at the Earth and ut t dark space and the sight f millins f stars. Because the capsule remains within the Earth’s atmsphere (大气层), special clthing r training is nt needed. It means that lder peple r thse with health prblems will be included.
One prblem may be the methd f landing back n the Earth. The balln mves back dwn frm space until it falls dwn in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, the capsule and the balln are then sent back by ship.
Nw Neptune faces cmpetitin frm the Stratllite, a balln being develped by a cmpany called Wrld View Enterprises, while the super-rich Richard Bransn, Jeff Bezs and Eln Musk are all puring mney int develping business space flying machines. The advantage f the balln is that it will be cheaper than a space plane.
Space travel may sn be a reality, but hw visitrs get there is still a very pen questin.
