四、阅读理解
Have you ever seen people building houses To build a house, you need workers. They use their hands, tools (工具) and machines to put things together. Building the International Space Station (国际空间站) is the same. The difference is that the workers are astronauts. They walk in space and use robots’ arms and hands to do the work.
In the space station, astronauts are comfortable. The temperature there is about 21℃. But outside of the station, it can be too hot or cold for people. In the sunlight (暗处) of the station, it’s about -85℃. So when astronauts walk in space, they have to wear heavy clothes—spacesuits.
These suits also keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish in space. Each time people go into space, they leave rubbish there. So astronauts should be careful because there’s a lot of rubbish, and some rubbish goes many times as fast as a plane!
Space walking is not easy, and it can be dangerous. So getting ready for it takes a lot of time to learn. Astronauts will need to do 160 space walks to finish their work in the space station. That will take about 1,900 man-hour work.
24．What’s the temperature in space station
A．About 21℃. B．About 120℃.
C．About -85℃. D．We don’t know.
25．The astronauts build the space station with ________.

A．太空服 B．防弹衣 C．雨衣 D．防护服
28．Why do astronauts need to wear spacesuits when walking in space
①keep astronauts from too hot or cold temperature
②help astronauts flying in space
③keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish in space
④help astronauts take food with them
A．①② B．②④ C．①③ D．③④
①A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you will see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot.
②Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future For sure, and the main reason is that we have more and more technology (科技), and it’s changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.
③In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more. But we will get weaker (弱的) in more than one way. Our muscles (肌肉) will not be as strong as now, because we won’t do lots of physical work.
④We are already using our feet less, and our hands more (think about cars and computers). So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller. At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. And our fingers and eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together.
⑤What about the mouth It will get smaller, because we needn’t talk so much with the help of technology. And last but not least—people won’t have much hair on their bodies as now, because we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm anymore.
⑥Will all these things happen And if so, when These are questions that no one can answer for sure.
