Big Space Events To Put In Your Calendar For 2022
MAY—CHINA’S SPACE STATION GETS BIGGER
May will see the launch of a new module for the Tiangong space station, China’s “Palace in the sky”. Its first core module, Tianhe was launched last April. The next module will be Wentian, a laboratory expected to launch between May and June. It will also serve as a backup core module and the place where future spacewalks from the taikonauts will take place. It will be followed by a second laboratory module, Mengtian, in August-September.
JUNE—INDIA’S SPACECRAFT TAKES ITS FIRST FLIGHT
ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organization, has announced that Gaganyaan (which translates to Sky Craft) will have is first unscrewed fight in June. The craft is panned to be a key vehicle in the Indian Human Spaceflight Program and, all going well in this test; it will be followed by a crewed test next year.
JULY—RUSSIA EYES THE MOONAGAIN
Russia’s Luna program had many successes with landers, rovers, and even sample returns, and Luna 25 is expected to follow in that tradition according to Russian Space Agency, Roscomos. The mission this fine is just a lander expected to touch down near the Lunar South Pole with instruments designed to study the soil. The location might be a possible area of interest for a permanent base on the Moon.
AUGUST—MORE LUNAR MISSIONS
August will see the launch of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, a panned lunar orbiter by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). This will be the first Korean Lunar Mission, a technology demonstration for KARI.
1．Which country will carry out multiple space tasks this year
A．China. B．India. C．Russia. D．Korea.
2．What do we know about Luna 25
A．It will operate in low lunar orbit. B．It will take a land on the Moon.
C．It will serve as a permanent base. D．It will take its first crewed flight.
3．When is the first Korean Lunar Mission scheduled
A．In May. B．In June. C．In July. D．In August
B
Human beings’ curiosity about outer space hasn’t declined in the past decade, and with Jeff Bezos’ historic commercial flight to the edge of space this past summer, dreamers are that much closer to experiencing the Galaxy for themselves.
It’s reported that one company is aiming to make space a reality for people, and is pioneering a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future vacation choice. The project, now called Voyager Station, is run by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a construction company led by head of the Gateway Foundation and former pilot, John Blincow.
Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build the world’s first space hotel named “Voyager Station”, which is expected to open in 2027. With a date in close sight, the hotel’s architects and engineers are hard at work, aiming to design an out-of-this-world experience. They plan to decorate the suites with elegant bars and restaurants with a touch of space, as well as Earth-viewing lounges and unique space food treats. The team is also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can’t normally do on Earth.
Gravity will remain in the rooms and bars though because Voyager Station’s scientific design makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel that will steadily move and create simulated gravitational force, much like when a glass of water is spun around, the water doesn’t pour out. The hotel’s guests won’t feel much different than being on a huge ship steadily moving.
4．What do we know about the Gateway Foundation
A．It aimed to build a space hotel.
B．It made space a reality for people.
C．It promoted space tourism greatly.
D．It planned a historic commercial flight.
5．What will the Voyager Station team use the reduced gravity to do
A．Provide unique space food.
B．Let guests do space sports.
C．Offer recreational activities.
D．Decorate suites more easily.
6．Why does gravity exist in the rooms and bars
A．To prevent liquid from pouring.
B．To make guests feel comfortable.
C．To avoid guests’ travel sickness.
D．To keep things in normal positions.
7．What’s the text mainly about
A．Time for Space Travel.
B．Space tourism gaining popularity.
C．First-ever commercial flight to space.
D．First space hotel set to open in 2027.
C
Humans have been living and working on the space station for 20 years. Their meals are packaged, though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions. The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample each one. The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili (辣椒) grown in space. The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate, so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn’t have to be cooked. They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing—as well as smelling and caring for—leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,” said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment.” We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”
8．What does underlined “kicking off” in the 2nd paragraph mean
A．Launch. B．Complete. C．Quit. D．Announce.
9．What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments
A．The technology. B．Growing process.
C．The varieties of plants. D．Growing time required.
10．Why are peppers added to the menu for astronauts
A．They are delicious. B．They restore their appetite.
C．They help kill diseases. D．They improve their memory.
11．What is the suitable title for the text
A．The Fun in the Space Life
B．The Common Goal in the Space Mission
C．The First Chili Peppers Grown in Space
D．A Research Finding from the Space Mission

You are probably very hungry I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot...” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I ’m sorry, mom, please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.

52．Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favourite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized that I should return home immediately and say sorry to my mother.
When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts. However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said :“oh, honey, thank God, you’re back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot...” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I ’m sorry, mom, please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.
