Unit 6 Space and beyond
一、阅读理解(本大题共4小题,共8.0分)
A
For centuries, human beings have dreamed of travelling into space, orbiting our little blue planet. It seems that our dream will finally come true, as US startup Orion Span announced on April 5 that it planned to launch the first hotel in space in 2021. It will be ready to welcome guests the following year.
The space hotel, Aurora Station, will orbit 230 miles above Earth, circling it every 90 minutes. It can house two crew members and four guests. The crew members will likely be former NASA astronauts who worked on the International Space Station. However, there's a catch: Each guest must pay at least $ 9.5 million for a 12-day stay at the hotel.
Guests can do many exciting things aboard Aurora Station. According to Orion Span, guests can enjoy the excitement of zero gravity as they fly throughout the space hotel. They can watch 16 sunrises and sunsets every day and view the northern and southern auroras (极光) through the windows. They can take part in research experiments like growing food, and even take it home as a souvenir.
But most importantly, the trip will offer a real sense of what it's like to live in space. " The premise (前提) of Aurora Station is for guests to live and feel what it's like to be an astronaut," Frank Bunger, CEO of Orion Span, told the Robb Report. "The food and drinks are freeze-dried products. It's not going to be five-star dining...Fire and gas don't work the same way in space as they do on Earth."
To better prepare guests for space travel, the company will require a health screening and provide a three-month training program that helps guests understand basic spaceflight, orbital mechanics and life in the pressurized environment of space.
"Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease (转租) their space apartment," Bunger said in a news release. "This is an exciting frontier and Orion Span is proud to pave the way."

二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)
Volunteering in your community gives you a chance to give back. You'll feel a sense of pride when you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. If you want to start volunteering, the following tips will help.
Treat the application like a job. While some volunteer opportunities will be relatively low-key when it comes to the application process, others will want many of the same things an employer would want. For instance, many will have you fill out an application. They'll likely want to talk with you, as well as check your references. (1) . Be ready to talk about yourself, your background, and what you have to offer to the organization.
Ask what's expected of volunteers. Organizations are going to have certain requirements for their volunteers. Some may require training or a certain number of hours per week. (2) . The important thing is that you know what you're getting into ahead of time.
Complete any needed training. For some organizations, training will be minimal. You may need to attend a short orientation course, for instance. (3) . Certain organizations, for instance, require the volunteers to take a training course and get the certification that costs money, though you may be able to get assistance with the cost.
(4) . You can always back out, but it's better to commit just a little bit of time at first to see if you like volunteering at the organization. Once you've volunteered there for a short period and decided you like it, you can commit a longer period of time.
Move organizations if needed. You shouldn't stay in a volunteer position you're unhappy with. If you are unhappy, try asking whether your work could be shifted within the organization. (5) .
A. Start volunteering slowly
B. Review your weekly schedule
C. In other organizations, it may be more extensive
