三、阅读单选
A
Wang Yaping, together with ZhaiZhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on October 16th. The 41-year-old Wang became the first female astronaut to enter Tiangong space station.
Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she told Xinbua.
The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. “There’s a red button,” said Wang. “If you can’t bear it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.” That strong spirit finally made her dream come true in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission.
Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages. “Women may be more patient and can better deal with loneliness. Women’s hearts are also easier to adapt to the weightless environment, making them more suitable for long-term missions.”
Wang Yaping went a long way before becoming the first woman to enter the Tiangong space station. She sets a good example for all women who dream of going to space.
21．What do Wang’s words mean in Paragraph 2
A．The space environment is easy to change.
B．Only men can go to space.
C．Men and women will face the same difficulties in space.
D．Both male and female astronauts can go to space.
22．What does the underlined word candidate in the second paragraph probably mean
A．成员 B．伙伴 C．候选人 D．飞行员
23．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Wang is the first female astronaut in the world.
B．Wang dreamed of being an astronaut in 2003.
C．It was a short time before Wang made her dream come true.
D．Wang pressed the red button when she became blind after the high-G training.
24．What advantages does a female astronaut have according to Wang
a. More patience. b. Less weight.
c. More problem-solving skills. d. Better ability to deal with loneliness.
A．ad B．ab C．bc D．bd
B
Thumbs-up for Zhang Jing!
“This is not the way to deal with Chinese people,” said Chinese interpreter(口译员) Zhang Jing calmly.
Recently, China and the US held an important meeting. Zhang’s translation impressed(印象深刻) the US side. One US leader even joked that she deserved a raise(加薪). Zhang’s translation work also won her lots of fans on social media.
Providing translation at important events like this is very difficult. It tests not just a person’s English skills. He or she must be able to take quick notes and think fast, too. For Zhang, however, it all seems to be a piece of cake.
But Rome wasn’t built in a day. When she was in middle school, Zhang wanted to be a diplomat(外交官). She was always working hard. Every morning, Zhang got up early to listen to the news in English. She spent lots of time doing translation exercises. She would always ask herself, “Could I have done better ” The girl kept making progress. Finally, her dream came true.
Do you want to be as good at speaking English as Zhang Work hard towards your goals and never give up. That’s exactly the key to success.

A．Zhang is a very good Chinese interpreter.
B．The US side didn’t have a good interpreter as Zhang.

26．What does the underlined word “It” refer to(指的是) in the third paragraph
