The most useful items by far in space would appear to be the tape and tissues. Both are light and do not take up much space,and neither of them can cause a mess which is difficult to clear up.

Talk about life in space
02 Max is interviewing Captain Brown about his life in space. Listen to the
interview and answer the questions.
He was often busy doing different experiments.
He played the guitar and chess.
He looked forward to having a weekly video call with his family most.
●What do they eat
●How do they keep themselves clean
●How do they sleep
If you interview an astronaut about space life, what
questions do you want to ask
Discussion
Interviewer：Hello，Captain Brown. You’re back on Earth now. Are you happy to be back
Captain Brown：Well，yes and no. It’s great to see my family again，but I also miss the International Space Station. I’ve gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
Interviewer：So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult
Captain Brown：Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space， and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it.
Interviewer：Cool. Well，I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away，so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean.

Listening
Captain Brown：Oh，we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste.
Interviewer：Gosh，I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission
Captain Brown：I was there for more than five months.
Interviewer：Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there
Captain Brown：I was usually busy doing different experiments.
Interviewer：Did you have any free time Do astronauts get time off
Captain Brown：Yes. When I was free，I played the guitar. That’s right—I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do，though，was to have my weekly video call with my family.

四、阅读理解
BEIJING—Wang Yaping, a taikonaut onboard China’s space station core module (舱), offered people on Earth a zero- gravity musical performance on Tuesday evening to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The space show was shared via a video released at an annual TV gala for the festival celebration. In the video, Wang was seen floating in the space module while playing a guzheng, or Chinese zither. She played a segment of the popular Chinese folk song “Jasmine Flower”.
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. People usually hang colorful lanterns, play riddle games and express their wishes and hopes for the future.
The crew members, who traveled to the space station core module on the Shenzhou-13 mission, kept some festive traditions alive as they continued to rotate around the mander Zhai Zhigang wrote riddles on red paper scrolls with a brush pen. He displayed the calligraphy together with taikonaut Ye Guangfu and extended festival greetings to the audience. They also sent blessings to athletes at the ongoing Beijing Winter Olympics: “We hope that you all achieve success, gain friendship and harvest your best Olympic experience.”
The video of the space performance was received with much enthusiasm after it was shared on social media platforms. It drew nearly 2 million clicks in one hour after several national media outlets posted it on the Chinese micro-blogging site Sina Weibo. The Weibo account of Zhurong, China’s first rover on Mars, reposted the video, commenting, “The music was so beautiful, and it made me homesick, too.”
The Lantern Festival also marks the last day of the lunar New Year celebration. Though far from home, the festive sentiments in space are the same. The China Manned Space Agency released a video on social media platforms on Tuesday, showing that the taikonauts had decorated the orbiting core module with red lanterns, Chinese knots and paper-cutting decorations. Wearing new clothes, the trio (三人小组) enjoyed the traditions of eating dumplings and posting spring couplets on walls. During the Chinese New Year holiday, they were also spotted watching the Winter Olympics and doing workouts in orbit.
1．How did the mass enjoy the musical performance according to the text
A．By watching a video coming from a TV gala.
B．By logging on the Internet through computers.
C．By watching the Lantern Festival gala at the scene.
D．By watching a video posted online by Wang Yaping herself.
2．What does the underlined word “rotate” mean according to the context

M: This week, in the local activity part of the show, we’re taking a look at Science World. During your visit you’ll be able to find out about all the latest developments in science, as well as trying lots of experiments on your own. This is no ordinary museum, I promise you! There’s a program of special events, which next week includes an Electricity Workshop on Monday afternoon, and a chance to do some experiments with water on Wednesday morning. Of special interest is the Saturday evening talk: next week Science World welcomes a famous American scientist who is going to talk about space travel.
While you’re at Science World, you’ll be able to enjoy a snack in the Newton cafe-it’s a bit small, but the food is good. It’s open all day and it has a lovely view because it’s beside the beach. Still not sure Well, why not give Science World a call at 284311 If you say you heard about Science World on this program, they will send you one free ticket to next month’s show which is about computers. It’s suitable for families and school parties.

M: Space Camp, Florida, which is right next to NASA’s famous Kennedy Space Center, is a place where people can go to learn about space travel. Many activities are offered which provide visitors with the excitement of being in space. One of the many attractions is the “Gravity Chair”, which lets you see exactly how difficult walking in space really is! There is also a project which gives you the opportunity to build your own rocket. Then you can see the rocket take off, stop a few moments in the air, go down and land in less than two minutes! Camp programmes are designed for children and adults who want to experience an astronaut’s life. The “Space Habitat” is a place where you can eat freeze-dried food and sleep in a special bed, just like a real astronaut! Regrettably though, children who are under nine years old are not allowed to take part in these programmes which last five days. The cost for adults is $875 and the kids $300 cheaper. There is a family ticket price of $1, 500. It is a little expensive, but it is really worth it.
二、选用适当的单词或短语补全句子
1．in case
2．are keen on
3．on behalf of
4．be ashamed of
5．paid regard to
【解析】
1．
考查连词短语。句意：他准备好他的相机，以防他看到可以拍出好照片的东西。分析句子可知，空格处为连词，连接前后两个小句，且句意上后半句是前半句的目的，in case符合句意。故填in case。
2．
考查形容词短语。句意：客户热衷于高品质的产品以及优质的服务和按期快速交货。分析句子可知，空格处为谓语，后半句high-quality products and also excellent service and fast delivery on an agreed schedule（高品质的产品以及优质的服务和按约定的快速交货）描述的是好的事物，可知客户很喜爱，be keen on符合句意，又主语是复数，且整个句子在陈述事实，故用一般现在时。故填are keen on。

考查形容词。句意：上小学时，他曾以母亲的工作为耻。但现在，他为此感到自豪。有but可知前后意思相反，后句说“感到骄傲”，前句应该说“感到不骄傲”，即“感到羞耻”，ashamed of符合句意，又used to接动词原形。故填be ashamed of。
5．
考查动词。句意：他们采访了这对老夫妇，并查看了他们的房子，以确保他们没有危险。分析句子可知，空格处为谓语，make sure可知他们小心注意，确保安全。pay regard to符合句意，又整句的时态是一般过去时。故填paid regard to。

members, who traveled to the space station core module on the Shenzhou-13 mission, kept some festive traditions alive as they continued to rotate around the Earth.(在神舟13号任务中前往空间站核心舱的机组人员，在继续\旋转的同时，保留了一些节日传统)”可知，文章主要讲述了在空间站执行任务的中国宇航员为庆祝元宵节而呈现了一场零重力表演，使得元宵节的传统得以在太空再现。故D项“中国宇航员在空间站里延续了元宵节的传统”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
