Space suits don't just make astronauts look cool. Without these 11 suits, astronauts wouldn't be able to leave their spaceship. That is to say, they wouldn't be able to 12 on the Moon or work outside the International Space Station.
Space is a 13 place for human beings. Firstly, there is no air to breathe. Secondly, space also has high levels of radiation(辐射) that can pass 14 our bodies and make us sick. Thirdly, some parts of space are really cold 15 other parts are very hot. So astronauts could die in just a few seconds 16 they step outside their spaceship without their suits. With a space suit, though, astronauts can move around in 17 for several hours.
Space suits keep astronauts safely sealed(密封的)inside. A backpack sends O2 in to let astronauts breathe 18 . At the same time, the CO2 that astronauts breathe out is sucked away. The suit also 19 them from harmful radiation and fast-moving space dust. Under the space suit is another suit that looks like a pair of tight pajamas(睡衣)with little pipes running through them. Water runs through these pipes to 20 astronauts because wearing a space suit can make astronauts very hot!
As space suits are developing all the time, man's understanding of space never remains at the same level.

When Emily Cummins was four years old, her grandfather gave her a hammer(锤子). She loved using it, and started to learn how to make toys from old things.
When she was a teenager, she thought a lot about making inventions to help other people. Emily's another granddad got an illness and had a lot of pain in his hands and fingers.

Her latest project is a simple fridge using only the energy that comes from the sun. There are now thousands of families in villages in Zambia and South Africa that use it to keep milk, food and medicine cool.
Emily is now a young woman. She is the winner of several prizes for her inventions. She was named one of the world's top ten young people.

C(2021·江西中考改编)
About eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 7 meters high. At its base(基座)was a life-size model elephant. Every half hour, something amazing happened. The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons and people started to move.
The clock's inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him "the father of modern-day engineering".
We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. They include clocks and hand-washing machines. The book also has drawings that show how each machine works.
Many everyday things today — from toys to car engines(发动机) — still use al-Jazari's ideas. Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots.
Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari's elephant clock looked like. A full-size working model is in Dubai's Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari's most amazing invention comes to life once again.
How Does the Elephant Clock Work
A bowl with a small hole floats(浮) in a water tank(水箱) inside the elephant's body. As the bowl slowly sinks(下沉), it pulls a rope that moves a human figure. His moving pen shows the number of minutes past the hour.
Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. This causes a ball to fall from the top of the clock. The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound.
The ball then drops out of a falcon's mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon. The weight of the ball causes the dragon's head to move down, and the dragon's tail pulls the water bowl back up.
Finally, the ball drops out of the dragon's mouth and into a vase. As the ball lands in the vase, the elephant driver moves and makes a sound. The cycle begins again until there are no more balls on the top of the clock.
( )30.Why is al-Jazari called "the father of modern-day engineering"
A. His ideas are still widely used in machines.
B. The elephant clock is an amazing invention.
C. His inventions include some parts of modern robots.
D. His book about machines is still popular with readers.
( )31.Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank " " in Paragraph 3.
A. He became famous when he was a young man.
B. He invented a lot of everyday machines in history.
C. It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes.
D. People in Turkey enjoy reading his books in their free time.
( )32.What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 7 refer to
A. The pen moves.
B. The ball drops.
C. The bowl sinks completely.
D. The bowl pulls the rope.
( )33.How does the elephant clock work Put the steps in the correct order.
a.The ball drops into the vase.
b.The ball drops into the dragon's mouth.
c.The elephant driver moves and makes a sound.
d.After 30 minutes, a ball starts to fall from the top.
e.The bowl moves down in the water and pulls on the rope.
A. b-d-a-c-e B. e-d-b-a-c
C. a-e-b-d-c D. c-a-d-e-b

Curiosity is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers to tons of questions. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching them because they want to find out what happens around them. And curiosity also provides many practical benefits.
34. People wondered how processes worked or how certain tasks could be done more quickly. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology.
Even if you don't plan to be an inventor or a researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. 35. And you'll be good at your subjects because you enjoy the process of learning. Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you an able worker.
What will you do if you're not curious 36. If you act like you're curious, you'll quickly start to feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes.
As you learn about a topic, get information from as many sources as possible. Read all kinds of books, watch or listen to speeches and ask questions. 37. Instead, learn to understand the facts that different people know and the different opinions that they express.
38. Instead, search for other possibilities and points of view. Remember, someone knows something that you don't know. Find out what it is and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes other people happy by letting them show off their knowledge.
A. Don't think you already know what you need to know.
B. Many of the greatest discoveries in history were made by curious people.
C. Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved.
D. Don't always get your information from the same source.
E. If you develop the curiosity for learning, classes will become more fun.

(1)理解文章内容。不仅要弄懂字面意思,更要知道潜在的含义,通过作者所给的提示,进行合理的推理和判断。
(2)以原文为依据。要在原文内容的基础上进行合理推测,不能掺杂个人观点。
(3)排除法。推理判断题通常有一定的难度,可以采用排除法,逐一排除错误选项,最终做出选择。
【B篇短文大意】 为了帮助他人,埃米莉发明了挤牙膏装置、运水装置以及不用电的冰箱,同时,她还激励青少年用奇思妙想来将世界变得更好。
25.B 细节理解题。通读全文可知,本文共提到了埃米莉的三项发明,分别是:挤牙膏装置、运水装置以及用太阳能的冰箱,故选B。
26.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Emily's another granddad...Emily saw that he had problems getting toothpaste out of the tube (软管). She made an invention that helped him with this"可知,埃米莉发明挤牙膏装置是为了帮爷爷挤牙膏,故答案为C。
27.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的"women and children often walk many kilometers a day to get water""They can only carry one bucket(桶) a time, and they usually put the bucket on their head"及"This makes it possible for women to transport up to five buckets each time. They don't have to carry the bucket on their head"可推知,正是因为一些非洲国家的人们取水困难,埃米莉才发明了运水装置,故选A。
28.D 推理判断题。为了帮助他人,埃米莉发明了一些实用的物品,由此可推知,她乐于助人且有创造力,故选D。
29.A 标题归纳题。本文主要是围绕埃米莉的三项发明展开的,这三项发明都是为了改善人们的生活,再结合最后一段中的"She wants to create change for the better"可知,A项最适合作本文的标题。
【C篇短文大意】 本文介绍了al-Jazari对现代工程的影响,以及他所发明的大象水钟的工作原理。
30.A 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,现在的很多日常物品——从玩具到汽车发动机——仍然在用al-Jazari的想法,如果没有他发明的那些带着活动部件的机器,我们可能不会有现代机器人,由此可推知,他的想法仍然被广泛应用在机器上,因此他被称为"现代工程之父"。故选A。
31.C 句子回填题。本段讲的是al-Jazari写的一本书,根据设空后的"They include clocks and hand-washing machines"可知,设空处是说书里描述了很多机器。故选C。
32.C 代词指代题。根据画线词前的"Every half hour, the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely"可知,This指代"the water bowl...sinks completely"。故选C。
代词指代题的解题技法
代词指代题是阅读理解中常见的题型。这类题目一般可在代词之前的一到两句话中找到答案。选定内容后,可将所选内容代入代词的位置进行检验,最终确定答案。
33.B 排列顺序题。根据最后四段的内容可知,碗慢慢下沉,拉动可以移动人像的绳子,30分钟后,碗装满了水,完全沉没,球从钟表顶部掉落,之后球从猎鹰的嘴里掉进龙的嘴里,然后掉进花瓶里,最后骑大象的人动起来并发出声音,因此B项顺序正确。
【D篇短文大意】 本文主要讲了好奇心的作用以及我们应该如何培养好奇心。
34—38 BECDA
【解析】 做这种题目的时候,基本顺序为:先总体了解篇章大意,再细致分析句子之间的衔接。我们读到的文章,常见的为"总—分"结构,或"总—分—总"结构。(1)如果需要还原的句子是这个自然段的首句,一般来讲,这个句子就是这段话的topic sentence(主题句),接下来几个句子是supports(事实或例子)。就本文来说,第34和38小题,就是所在自然段的首句,第36小题虽然是第二句,但因为第一句提出问题,其实空处就是所在段落的主题句。(2)如果需要还原的句子处于段落中间,就反过来思考。先读这段话的主题句,然后选择与这个主题句有关、能够提供阐释信息的句子。本文中的第35和37小题,用的就是这个技巧。
