    China sends its first astronaut (宇航员), Yang Liwei, into space in 2003. Now, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are doing the Shenzhou XIlI mission (任务) in space. Do you want to be an astronaut like them?

    Keep healthy

    To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. You have to see clearly and it is important for you not to have some small problems. For example, a bad tooth could get worse in space.

    Be strong

    In China, you must be good at flying planes before you can be an astronaut. You must fly over 25 days safely. What's more, you need to make your body strong like players by running, swimming and doing other sports. Because you will wear a 200-kilo coat and do work underwater for nearly half a day with no food and drinks. This is like going on a spacewalk.

    Learn science

    Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 subjects to get ready for a mission, such as math, English, art, geography and many more. So they will know what to do when there are accidents in the mission.

    Do you know?

    Though (尽管) you are really great to be an astronaut, maybe you will never go to space. In the Shenzhou XIII mission, for example, only three astronauts can go into space. There are another 13 astronauts that go, but they are still important to the space programme.

    (1)、Who is the first Chinese astronaut into space?
    A、Ye Guangfu B、Wang Yaping C、Zhai Zhigang D、Yang Liwei
    (2)、The underlined word "knowledge" probably means "______________".
    A、study B、future C、programme D、money
    (3)、What can we know about the astronaut from the passage?
    A、Astronauts need to take a lot of new subjects in space. B、To be an astronaut, you need to be healthy and strong, C、Before being an astronaut, you must wear a 200-kilo coat D、All the astronauts can go into space if they are really great.
    (4)、The writer writes the passage to tell us ______________.
    A、how to be astronauts in space B、how astronauts keep fit in space C、what astronauts do in space D、when astronauts work in space

    Many people may wonder what the three Chinese astronauts' life was like when they were working in space. In fact, they did many of the things as we do on Earth.

    They brush their teeth, wash their hair and go to the bathroom. However, because of the microgravity (失重) environment, they take care of themselves in different ways. They wash their hair by using the no-rinse shampoo to get it clean because there are no real showers in the spaceship.

    Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. But how much they eat depends on the astronauts. A small woman astronaut often needs only about 1,900 calories (卡路里) a day, while a large man requires about 3,200 calories. So there are many kinds of foods ready, such as fruits, nuts, chicken, beef and seafood. They can also drink coffee, tea and orange juice.

    Astronauts can have much fun, too. They look out of the window, enjoying the wonderful sunsets and sunrises which happen every 45 minutes. Very often, they play with their food or even play jokes on their workmates. Believe it or not, astronauts can even spend weekends, when they can watch movies, play music, read books and talk to their families.

    After a long day at work,  ▲  . Just like on Earth, an astronaut goes to bed at a certain time, then wakes up and prepares for work again. But there are a few differences. Astronauts have to sleep in sleeping bags in special cabins (柜子). Generally, astronauts are planned to have eight hours of sleep. Like on Earth, they may wake up in the middle of their sleep to use the toilet. And astronauts also have dreams.

    As for Wang Yaping, she had another experience—preparing for lessons for the Chinese students far down on Earth.

    (1)、The passage mainly talks about ________.
    A、how astronauts work in space B、what it is like inside a spaceship C、what kind of people can be astronauts D、astronauts' daily life in the spaceship
    (2)、From the passage we can learn that astronauts ________.
    A、have to take showers every two days B、are not allowed to play jokes in space C、can have many kinds of foods for their meals D、seldom have dreams when they sleep in space
    (3)、Which of the following can be put in the  ▲  in Paragraph 5?
    A、it is time to make a phone call B、reading is what an astronaut needs C、listening to music sounds like a good idea D、nothing is better than a good night's sleep
    (4)、What was Wang Yaping's special experience in space?
    A、Making different kinds of foods. B、Taking care of the other astronauts. C、Writing a report about space travel. D、Giving a lesson to students on Earth.

  • 7. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出最佳答案。

    On Nov 8, Wang Yaping, a female astronaut of Shenzhou XIII mission, became China's first and the world's 16th female space walker. The expected six-month journey in space has left many curious about the differences between male and female astronauts, especially in terms of performing extravehicular (舱外的) activities (EVAs). Despite (即使) physical challenges, female astronauts have unique (独一无二的) advantages.

    Understanding between astronauts is very important for carrying out EVAs, which is based on excellent communication skills. Women are superior (更好的) in communication and language expression, and this helps female astronauts do extravehicular activities, according to Yang Yuguang, vice chair of Space Transportation Committee of the International Astronautical Federation.

    Men and women are different in body size, which also gives women unique advantages for spacewalks. "Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as women will be able to control their weight better and perform a wider variety of tasks," Pang told China Daily.

    Women in general weigh less, eat less food, consume less oxygen (氧气), and therefore required less fuel (燃料) to get into space. An astronaut must weigh between 55 kilograms and 70 kilograms to ft in the cabin of spacecraft and consume less fuel, according to CGIN.

    A different body shape requires a different spacesuit. A tailor-made spacesuit was prepared for' Wang's extravehicular activities, which was lighter than the males'. Designers optimized the pattern of this spacesuit in the lower limb (下肢) area to make it more suitable for astronauts with slimmer figures.

    According to Pang, many studies have found that female astronauts are more suitable for space missions and have advantages over male astronauts in qualities such as attention to detail and thinking comprehensively (全面地).

    Men tend to excel in shorter-term, goal oriented (目标导向的) situations while women are better in longer-term habitation-type (居住类) circumstances, according to National Geographic.

    Women's participation in EVAs is an integral (不可缺少的) part of space missions, and we are witnessing history thanks to Wang's bravery, according to Yang.

    (1)、What do we know about Wang's extravehicular activities?
    A、She is the first ever female space walker. B、The mission was planned to show gender equality.      C、She performed some tasks that her male partners couldn't do. D、The spacesuit she wore was specially designed.
    (2)、What does the underlined word "optimize" mean in this passage?
    A、make something better B、make something worse    C、make something colourful D、make something colourless
    (3)、Which of the following is an advantage females have over male astronauts?
    A、Females have better communication skills. B、Females deal with goal-oriented situations better than males. C、Female bodies are stronger and more flexible. D、Females can adapt to space more quickly.
    (4)、What's the main idea of the article?
    A、The challenges female astronauts face during a spacewalk.      B、The importance of females doing extravehicular activities.      C、The advantages of females doing extravehicular activities.      D、The preparations for the females to carry out space mission.

    The Feitian Spacesuit

    Here is the introduction about the Feitian spacesuit. Spacewalks can be dangerous with no air in space, but the spacesuit can keep astronauts safe. It costs million yuan. There are layers in it. Layer 1 is the closest to astronauts' bodies. It collects astronauts' urine (尿液). Layers 2—5 are used to inside the suit. Layer 6 protects astronauts from radiation. Astronauts can take pictures during spacewalk with a camera in the suit. Astronauts can connect with through the headphone and speakers.

  • 9. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):

    Musk, the richest man in the world, is good at Chinese. When he was at a meeting on global food crisis(危机), Musk quoted(引述)Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, " Pods burned to cook peas, Peas weep in the pot, Grown from same root, Why boil us so hot? "

    Besides Musk, it's amazing to know that an Italian astronaut working on the International Space Station wrote on her social media, "The universe is so big and has so much stuff(事物)to watch, and it's great to see and know and drink."

    Before she came to China, she had learned to speak Chinese. She quoted the Preface to the Works of Lanting《兰亭集序》because she had a good friend who was a Sinologist(汉学家). Before the flight, her Sinologist friend suggested that she quote this line from the Preface to the Lanting Collection.

    Chinese belongs to an elite(精英的)culture in European and American countries. Ordinary people in Europe and America have no interest in Chinese. They think Chinese is really too difficult for them to learn. However, in the elite circles of Europe and America, it is different. No matter in business and space, or science research. Not only the European astronauts have to learn Chinese, but also the workers of the Saudi Arabian who work closely with China. Even American astronauts need to learn Chinese ahead of time(提前).

    More and more European and American elites start to learn Chinese because the future of China's global influence will be bigger and bigger. They plan ahead and plan ahead for their children.

    Learning Chinese is necessary if astronauts from around the world want to work on China's space station. This is why the Italian astronaut learned Chinese.

    The goal of China's plan to land on the moon is to build a permanent base(永久基地) on the moon. Any astronaut needs to learn at least two languages, either in an American or Chinese spaceship. There is no third choice in the future. Chinese is directly connected to the career and future. Therefore, the elite of Europe and America think they really can't fit the situation if they do not learn Chinese.

    (1)、What did Musk quote when he was at a meeting on global food crisis?
    (2)、Who advised the Italian astronaut quote the line from the Preface to the Lanting Collection?
    (3)、Why do ordinary people in Europe and America have no interest in Chinese?
    (4)、Why do more and more European and American elites start to learn Chinese?
    (5)、How many languages does the astronauts need to learn?
    (6)、What do you think Chinese will be like in the future? Why?

四、语法填空

    Recently, Russia (make) a robot, which can walk, lift heavy weights, use power tools and even drive. It will also be an astronaut to go to the International Space Station and then land on the moon. The amazing robot (call) Fedor.

    Fedor stands 6 ft and weighs 106~160 kg. It (take) and leave the driver's seat in a car, use tools, and stand up after falling down.

    Russian President Putin has said that Fedor will make the first landing on the moon within 15 years. The robot needn't (wear) a spacesuit when working, and it can live not only in a crew vehicle (太空舱), but even outside it.

    Experts say during space walking tasks and on other planets, astronauts (rely) on robots. And in some ways they can even do better than humans.

    Engineers have high hopes for Fedor, and have humorously named it "Robo-Gagarin". Yuri Gagarin, a Russian pilot and astronaut, (be) the first human to travel into outer space.
