1. Wild is ______ one-hour documentary on CCTV. I have never seen such ________ exciting programme.
A. a; an B. an; a C. a; a D. an; an
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意:Wild是中央电视台一小时的纪录片。我从来没有看过这么激动人心的节目。documentary是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,one-hour是辅音音素开头,因此第一空用不定冠词用a;programme是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,exciting是元音音素开头,因此第二空用不定冠词an,故选A。
2. Suzhou is very famous _____ the Chinese-style gardens. They are all _____ the Chinese style .
A. as ; in B. for ; in C. in ; in D. by ; of
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:苏州以中国式园林而闻名。它们都是中国风格的。分析句子可知,第一空考查be famous for表“因……而出名”,为固定搭配;第二空考查in...style表“别具……风格”,为固定搭配。故选B项。
3. I can’t hear _____ you were saying _____ the noise.
A. how;because of B. whether;because C. that;though D. what; because of
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句和介词短语。句意:由于噪音,我听不清你在说什么。分析句子以及结合选项可知,第一空考查宾语从句,且从句中缺宾语,这里表示说“什么”,所以应用连接代词what;第二空后面为名词,所以此空应用介词短语because of。故选D项。
4. —Do you like the movie ________ is called The Battle at Lake Changjin
—Sure. I think no movie is ________ than it.
A. that; more touched B. what; less touching C. that; more touching D. which; less touched
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和形容词比较级。句意:——你喜欢《长津湖之战》这部电影吗?——当然。我认为没有哪部电影比它更感人。第一空处引导限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词movie是电影,因此第一空用关系代词that/which,第二空用形容词作表语,主语movie是电影,用ing结尾的形容词touching修饰,意为“感人的”,此处是否定词no和比较级连用表最高级,意为“我认为没有哪部电影比它更感人”,因此空格处是“更感人的”,是more touching,故选C。
5. —They have little time to do after-school activities, ________
—__________. They are all busy preparing for the exam.
A. do they; Yes B. do they; No C. don’t they; Yes D. don’t they; No
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查反义疑问句及回答。句意:——他们几乎没有时间做课外活动,是吗 ——对。他们都忙着准备考试。分析句子结构可知,第一空为反义疑问句,陈述部分为否定意义,所以反问部分应使用肯定形式,主语是they,且为一般现在时,所以第一空应为do they;第二空为答语,根据下文中的“They are all busy preparing for the exam.”可知,此处指的是“他们忙着考试”,由此可知,此处的回答应是对上文的肯定,因上文为否定意义,所以此处应使用否定词“No”表示“对的”。故选B项。
6. This red bicycle ________ be Linda’s, because she rides it to school every day.
A. can B. would C. must D. might
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词辨析。句意:这辆红色自行车一定是琳达的,因为她每天都骑着它上学。由because she rides it to school every day以及句意可知,这里表示肯定推测,所以应用must。故选C项。
7. Guan Dong saved an old lady out of the Yangtze River. _____ great courage he showed!
A. What a B. What C. How a D. How
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查感叹句。句意:官东从长江里救了一位老太太。他表现出多么大的勇气啊!结合选项可知,句子为感叹句,空后为名词短语great courage,且courage是不可数名词,因此应用“What+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语”的结构。故选B。
8. —I hope I can take part in the game show Who is Still Standing and win something.
—Stop daydreaming. You will win nothing ________ you spend a few months preparing for it.
A. since B. unless C. if D. because

—Well, this sweater that one is fit for her. They’re too big.
A. both; and B. either; or
C. neither; nor D. not only; but also

【解析】
【详解】句意:-你妈妈觉得你的母亲节礼物怎样?-哦,这件毛衣和那一件都不适合她,太大了。A .both; and……和……两者都 ;B. either; or或者……或者……;C. neither; nor……既不……也不;D. not only; but also……不但,……而且。由后句:它们太大了,可以推测出两件都不适合她,故选C。
考点:考查连词辨析。
10. Why is _______ leader like him supported by ________few workers
A. such an honest ; so B. so honest an ; such
C. such a honest; so D. so honest a ;such
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:为什么像他这样诚实的领导只有那么几个工人支持?such+a/an+形容词+名词=so+形容词+a/an+名词,意为“如此……的……”,honest是元音音素开头,前面用an,因此C选项错误;leader是辅音音素开头,因此B选项错误;“so few+名词”意为“如此少的……”,因此第二空是so,故选A。
11. —How did you feel when Daniel scored a winning goal and helped your team win
—I felt __________. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
A. scared B. worried C. amazed D. mad
【答案】C
【解析】

C. when I can buy the air ticket D. when can I buy the air ticket
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句连词和语序。句意:——我想知道怎样才能买到便宜的机票。——您可以通过我们的官方APP预订。空格处是宾语从句,宾语从句中用陈述句语序,B和D是疑问句语序,因此排除;由“You can book one through our official APP”可知,第一个人问的是怎么才能买到便宜的票,“怎么”是how,故选A。
13. Wars are disasters. A large number of people will lose their homes if a war_________.
A. breaks out B. is broken out C. breaks up D. is broken up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析和谓语动词。句意:战争是灾难。如果战争爆发,许多人将失去家园。A. breaks out爆发(主动);B. is broken out(错误形式,“爆发”无被动)C. breaks up解散,分手;D. is broken up解散(被动)。分析句子结构可知,此处应为从句的谓语动词,主句为一般将来时,条件状语从句应使用一般现在时表示将来,所以此处使用一般现在时,且break out无被动,与主语为主动关系,且主语为第三人称单数。故选A项
14. His watch is broken, he wants to have it ________.
A. repairing B. repaired C. to repair D. to be repaired
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他的表坏了,他想请人修理。此处为have+宾语+宾补结构,且it与repair构成被动关系,故为过去分词作宾补。故选B。
15. —I’m sure that I can come first in the English exam.

B
It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn’t seen for years, and was really excited.
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem—I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But … where was my mobile phone I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I’d left it at home.
No mobile phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don’t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I’m not alone: two-thirds of us experience “nomophobia (无手机恐惧症)”, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
That’s according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and that 18—24-year-olds, especially girls, are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
Do you have nomophobia
● You never turn your phone off.
● You frequently check for texts, missed calls and emails.
● You always take your phone to the bathroom with you.
● You never let the battery run out.
It’s funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessmen carrying their large, plastic “bricks”. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said there would be more mobile phones than people across the world by the end of 2020.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it’s time to ask who really is in charge Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you
So, what happened with my university friend When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: “You haven’t changed at all—still always late!” And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no desire to check my phone.
Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe I’ll leave it at home on purpose next time.
19. The underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. energetic B. nervous C. brilliant D. amazed
20. What’s the author’s attitude towards using mobiles
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Neutral (中立的). D. Negative.
21. According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted to (对……上瘾) mobiles
A. A successful manager. B. A 21-year-old girl.
C. A 21-year-old boy. D. A lonely middle-aged person.
22. What does the passage talk about
A. The history of mobile phones.
B. The story of meeting an old university friend.
C. The attraction of playing mobile phone.
D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.
【答案】19. B 20. A 21. B 22. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者去看望大学同学时,无意中把手机落在了家里,让他非常恐惧,由此引出了文章讨论的话题:nomophobia(无手机恐惧症),讲了这种恐惧症的症状和作者对此的担忧。
【19题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“feeling anxious(感到焦虑)”和“worried(担心的)”可知,手机不在身边的时候,很多人会非常紧张和担忧。短语“on edge”与“worried”是并列关系,表示相近的含义,worried的意思是“担心的”,因此on edge的意思是“担心的”,和nervous意思相近。故选B。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it’s time to ask who really is in charge Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you (当世界上的手机数量超过人口数量时,也许是时候问一下谁才是真正的掌权者了?是你在控制你的手机,还是你的手机在控制你?)”可知,作者很担心当手机的数量超过人类的数量时,究竟是谁来控制谁,说明作者对使用手机是非常担心的。故选A。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and that 18—24-year-olds, especially girls, are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.(报告称,我们每天查看手机34次,而18 - 24岁的人,尤其是女孩,最有可能因为没有手机而感到恐惧:77%的人表示,他们无法离开手机超过几分钟。)”可知,18—24岁的女孩子和手机的联系最紧密,她们最可能患上“无手机恐惧症”,因此最可能对手机上瘾的是一个21岁的女孩。故选B。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“No mobile phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don’t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I’m not alone: two-thirds of us experience “nomophobia (无手机恐惧症)”, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.(没有手机。我相信我不是唯一一个在没有手机的时候感到焦虑、紧张和担心的人。事实上,我知道我并不孤单:我们中有三分之二的人都有“无手机恐惧症”,即害怕没有手机联系。)”可知,本文主要讲的是无手机恐惧症,因此主旨是D选项“The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.(没有手机的可怕感觉。)”。故选D。
C
So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances to a rather unexpected COVID-19 virus. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you’re someone who prefers to type out messages, you may want to reconsider. A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social relationships than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure relationships. In one, they asked 200 people what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked them to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a stronger relationship with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they did not feel more awkward,” said Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says, “People tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can communicate information exactly in the way they want without unexpected additions by the other person.”
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking about the endless possible meanings behind words.”
23. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By comparing. B. By reasoning. C. By imagining. D. By discussing.
24. What does the underlined word “anticipated” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Ensured. B. Refused. C. Expected. D. Disagreed.
25. People prefer to text rather than call because they think ________.
A. texting makes them feel more connected
B. they feel awkward when making a phone call
C. texting helps communicate their information exactly
D. calling helps determine the true meaning behind the conversation
26. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Texting does harm to social relationships.
B. Voice communication brings people closer.
C. A phone call does more good than a text message.
D. People prefer a text message rather than a phone call.
【答案】23. A 24. C 25. C 26. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的研究发现如果想和交谈的人感觉更亲近,应该给他们打电而不是发短信。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的““People reported they did form a stronger relationship with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they did not feel more awkward,” said Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business.(麦库姆斯商学院(McCombs School of Business)市场营销学助理教授阿米特·库马尔(Amit Kumar)说:“人们报告说,与发邮件相比,他们确实通过电话与老朋友建立了更牢固的关系,而且他们并不觉得更尴尬。”)”可知,人们报告说,与发邮件相比,通过电话和老朋友建立了更牢固的关系,根据第四段中的“In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by text. (在另一项实验中,研究人员让陌生人通过发短信、视频聊天或只使用音频聊天来联系。他们发现,两种形式的语音交流——无论是视频还是音频——都比文字交流更能让陌生人感觉到彼此之间的联系。)”可知,在另外一项实验中发现,两种形式的语音交流都比文字交流更让陌生人感觉到彼此之间的联系,由此可知,研究人员是通过对比的方式开展研究的。故选A项。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的although可知,主从句之间为转折关系,结合划线单词后的“hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.(听到别人的声音实际上让体验变得更好。)”可知,听到别人的声音实际上会让通话感觉更好,划线单词后的宾语从句“that a phone call would be more awkward(打电话会更尴尬)”可知,前后应为对比关系,即人们想的和真实情况并不相同,由此可知,划线单词的意思与“预计、认为”的意思相似。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says, “People tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can communicate information exactly in the way they want without unexpected additions by the other person.”(哈佛大学心理学家萨布丽娜·罗曼诺夫(Sabrina Romanoff)说:“人们倾向于发短信或发电子邮件,而不是打电话,因为方便,因为他们认为这是一种可控的交流方式,他们可以以自己想要的方式准确地交流信息,而不会被对方意想不到的添加。”)”可知,人们更倾向于使用文本来进行交流的原因是他们认为这样可以帮助他们更好、更确切地传递信息。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social relationships than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.(发表在《实验心理学杂志》(Journal of Experimental Psychology)上的一项新研究发现,包括电话或视频聊天在内的语音交流,比短信或电子邮件等打字交流,能建立更牢固的社会关系。)”以及下文中的对相关研究试验的介绍可知,本文主要讲述了科学研究发现,通过现代科技用语音进行交流的交流方式更能够促进形成牢固的社会关系。故选B项。

Gui Haichao, the 36-year-old from Yunnan province has become the first Chinese civilian to fly in space.
Fifteen years ago, Gui was a senior at the School of Astronautics (航天) under Beihang University, formerly known as the Beijing University of Aeronautics (航空) and Astronautics, majoring in spacecraft design and engineering.
“In 2008, I was still a university student. I watched the live broadcast of our nation’s first spacewalk that was carried out by Jing Haipeng,” he said during a recent interview. “I just couldn’t even imagine at that time that I would become a member of his and train and live in the same place. And now we will fly together to the space station,”said Gui, now a professor and doctoral supervisor (博士生导师) at Beihang University.
In the summer of 2014, Gui graduated with a doctor’s degree in spacecraft design. In 2016, Gui took a research on the technology for spacecraft movement. He returned to Beihang in 2017 to teach as an associate professor at the School of Astronautics.

“I have been a fan of space exploration for many years and sometimes dreamed about doing my research in space, so I was excited hearing this news and immediately came to the school’s administrative office to fill in the application form,” Gui said.
After several physical checks and professional tests, Gui started training at the Astronaut Center of China. The physical training at the astronaut center was a huge challenge to Gui. But he didn’t give up and managed to pass all tests. Thanks to his perseverance (坚持), Gui made great progress and was chosen for the Shenzhou XVI mission. During the flight, Gui will be responsible for science equipment. He said he feels lucky to become the first civilian to fly in space.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。因为和美国的男孩有点不同,所以如果你想去美国,你最好做好充分的准备。文章主要列举了一些去美国前需要做的事情。
【31题详解】
根据上文“HEY boys, attention please! If you want to go to the US, you’d better be fully prepared, because, well, you and the boys in the US are a bit different.(嘿,男孩们,请注意!如果你想去美国,你最好做好充分的准备,因为,嗯,你和美国的男孩有点不同)”结合后文提到了一些去美国前需要做的事情,故B选项“在我看来,你最好试着做以下几件事”符合语境,故选B。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Firstly, know how to knot a tie. In the US, every boy above school age wears suits when they go to weddings.(首先,知道如何打领带。在美国,每个超过学龄的男孩去参加婚礼时都穿西装)”可知,上文提到了男孩去参加婚礼时穿西装的习俗,可推知本句应承接上文说明这么做的原因是:表明对他人的尊重。故D选项“我来自弗吉尼亚的朋友麦迪逊说这是对他人的尊重。”符合语境,故选D。
【33题详解】
根据上文“Secondly, be a gentleman. I know in China some boys are still proud of being strong. But in the US, a good man should also be polite.(第二,做一个绅士。我知道在中国一些男孩仍然为自己的强壮感到骄傲。但在美国,一个好男人也应该有礼貌)”可知,本段主要是关于做一个绅士的问题,且本句为本段最后一句,应当承接上文,举例说明做绅士的例子。故G选项“这里有两个例子:为你身后的人扶门和在公共汽车上给老人让座”符合语境,故选G。
【34题详解】
根据上文“Chinese boys like ping-pong, basketball and soccer, but American boys love football and baseball. They get very happy when they play and watch these sports.(中国男孩喜欢乒乓球、篮球和足球,但美国男孩喜欢足球和棒球。当他们玩和观看这些运动时,他们非常高兴)”以及后文“But in order to watch the sports with other boys, at least learning some rules would help.(但是为了和其他男孩一起看比赛,至少学习一些规则会有帮助)”可知,上文提到了美国男孩对足球和棒球的喜爱,而下文用but进行转折,可推知本句旨在说明中国男孩不要为了让自己对足球和棒球感兴趣而成为球迷或终日观看这些比赛,且F选项中a fan of football可对应上文中love football。故F选项“没有必要成为一个足球迷或者把你的电视频道固定在棒球比赛上”符合语境,故选F。
【35题详解】
根据后文“We sometimes need to know the importance of another culture, but don’t feel you have to know that if it makes you uncomfortable.(我们有时需要了解另一种文化的重要性,但如果它让你感到不舒服,你就不必了解了)”结合上文提到的是一些去美国需要做的事情,可推知本句与上文形成转折,说明美国的方式也不一定总是正确的,如果其中的文化让人感觉不舒服,就不必去了解了。故E选项“然而,所有这一切并不意味着美国的方式总是正确的方式”符合语境,故选E。

It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn’t seen for years, and was really excited.
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem—I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But … where was my mobile phone I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I’d left it at home.
No mobile phone. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don’t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I’m not alone: two-thirds of us experience “nomophobia (无手机恐惧症)”, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
That’s according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and that 18—24-year-olds, especially girls, are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
Do you have nomophobia
● You never turn your phone off.
● You frequently check for texts, missed calls and emails.
● You always take your phone to the bathroom with you.
● You never let the battery run out.
It’s funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessmen carrying their large, plastic “bricks”. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said there would be more mobile phones than people across the world by the end of 2020.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it’s time to ask who really is in charge Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you
So, what happened with my university friend When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: “You haven’t changed at all—still always late!” And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no desire to check my phone.
Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe I’ll leave it at home on purpose next time.
19. The underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. energetic B. nervous C. brilliant D. amazed
20. What’s the author’s attitude towards using mobiles
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Neutral (中立的). D. Negative.
21. According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted to (对……上瘾) mobiles
A. A successful manager. B. A 21-year-old girl.
C. A 21-year-old boy. D. A lonely middle-aged person.
22. What does the passage talk about
A. The history of mobile phones.
B. The story of meeting an old university friend.
C. The attraction of playing mobile phone.
D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.
C
So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person, from busy schedules to long distances to a rather unexpected COVID-19 virus. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you’re someone who prefers to type out messages, you may want to reconsider. A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social relationships than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure relationships. In one, they asked 200 people what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked them to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.
“People reported they did form a stronger relationship with their old friend on the phone compared with email, and they did not feel more awkward,” said Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business.
In another experiment the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard psychologist, says, “People tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can communicate information exactly in the way they want without unexpected additions by the other person.”
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking about the endless possible meanings behind words.”
23. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By comparing. B. By reasoning. C. By imagining. D. By discussing.
24. What does the underlined word “anticipated” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Ensured. B. Refused. C. Expected. D. Disagreed.
25. People prefer to text rather than call because they think ________.
A. texting makes them feel more connected
B. they feel awkward when making a phone call
C. texting helps communicate their information exactly
D. calling helps determine the true meaning behind the conversation
26. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Texting does harm to social relationships.
B Voice communication brings people closer.
C. A phone call does more good than a text message.
D. People prefer a text message rather than a phone call.
D
Gui Haichao, the 36-year-old from Yunnan province has become the first Chinese civilian to fly in space.
Fifteen years ago, Gui was a senior at the School of Astronautics (航天) under Beihang University, formerly known as the Beijing University of Aeronautics (航空) and Astronautics, majoring in spacecraft design and engineering.
“In 2008 I was still a university student. I watched the live broadcast of our nation’s first spacewalk that was carried out by Jing Haipeng,” he said during a recent interview. “I just couldn’t even imagine at that time that I would become a member of his and train and live in the same place. And now we will fly together to the space station,”said Gui, now a professor and doctoral supervisor (博士生导师) at Beihang University.
In the summer of 2014, Gui graduated with a doctor’s degree in spacecraft design. In 2016, Gui took a research on the technology for spacecraft movement. He returned to Beihang in 2017 to teach as an associate professor at the School of Astronautics. In 2018, Gui was told that China’s manned space authorities had decided to select astronauts, including the first spaceflight engineers.
“I have been a fan of space exploration for many years and sometimes dreamed about doing my research in space, so I was excited hearing this news and immediately came to the school’s administrative office to fill in the application form,” Gui said.
After several physical checks and professional tests, Gui started training at the Astronaut Center of China. The physical training at the astronaut center was a huge challenge to Gui. But he didn’t give up and managed to pass all tests. Thanks to his perseverance (坚持), Gui made great progress and was chosen for the Shenzhou XVI mission. During the flight, Gui will be responsible for science equipment. He said he feels lucky to become the first civilian to fly in space.
