When the first person looked up at the sky, the imagination of the space began. In China, there are many stories about the exploration of space.
Thousands of years ago, there was a lady named Chang’e who flew to the Moon and lived there. It’s a story just living in myths (神话). In the Ming Dynasty, a man named Wan Hu used the machine which was made of a chair, some fireworks and a kite as a rocket. He wanted to go into the space but failed. He was considered as the first human to try to explore the space.
In 2003, when Shenzhou V successfully set off, Yang Liwei’s words “ask for instructions to go to the war” brought tears (眼泪) to our eyes. Carrying the flying dream of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, the first “space visitor” of China, excellently completed his task. It started the space age for the Chinese. In 2008, Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng returned to space by Shenzhou VIl. Zhai achieved the success of the first Chinese spacewalk. “I am out of the capsule (太空舱), I feel good,” he told the world proudly.
In the following years, China kept on making its way to explore more about the space. Especially in the recent two years, China has launched (发射) Shenzhou XIII and Shenzhou XIV. Six astronauts have been sent into the space.
From 2003 to 2022, China’s manned space-flight has gone through about twenty years of hard, but successful journey. With the take-off again and again, Chinese people go farther and farther in space, but our dream is getting closer and closer.
In the near future, Chinese people will be sent to the Moon and land on it.

Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space on October 16th, 2021. Wang became the first Chinese woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station.
Wang was born in January 1980. Her 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 (候选人) 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 said.
The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) 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 stand 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 (任务).
Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages. “Women may be more patient and can better deal with loneliness.”
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.
9.How old was Wang Yaping when she first enter Tiangong space station
A.19. B.38. C.40. D.41.
10.What was Wang Yaping’s job in 2003

A.The space environment is easy to change.
B.Only men can go to space station in the world.
C.Men and women will face the same difficulties in space.
D.Both men and women astronauts can go to space bravely.
12.Why would Wang become blind for a while when training
A.Because she was in a dark room.
B.Because her brain was short of blood.
C.Because there was something wrong with her ears.
D.Because she is a woman, she couldn’t stand the training.
13.Which of the following is TRUE
A.Wang is the first woman astronaut in the world.

The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down
There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellites. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), whi h tries to pull the satellites towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.

In 2010, Liu Yang served as a pilot in the air force. Over a period of around 10 years, she achieved a surprising record of safe flights—1,680 hours. Her excellent performance made her stand out among the 15 pilots, and she was chosen to become an astronaut.
It took Liu Yang the next two years to finish some very difficult astronautics courses and hard physical training. One of the most difficult exercises was the rotating chair (旋转椅), which helped astronauts get used to traveling in space. To get full marks, astronauts should stay in the chair for 15 minutes, but Liu Yang was uncomfortable and sick in the first five minutes. She told herself to keep trying harder. She tried her best not to think about the terrible sick feeling, and finally, she made it.
In 2012, Liu Yang made history as China’s first woman astronaut. During the Shenzhou 9 mission (任务), she spent 13 days in space, performing scientific experiments. She also helped the other two astronauts to connect the spaceship with the Chinese space station, Tiangong.
Following her return to the Earth, Liu Yang went to university to study further while balancing the responsibilities for bringing up her two children and continuing her space training. In June 2022, Liu Yang was chosen as one of the three astronauts for the Shenzhou 14 mission. This time, she started her journey with greater confidence and relaxation. Along with her workmates, Liu Yang spent half a year in space, completing several space activities, such as robot arm tests and experimental tasks.
Liu Yang’s second space mission provided her with another wonderful experience, allowing her to show her courage once again. She remains a brave woman astronaut who shows that dreams can come true with determination (决心) and hard work.

In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang,Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three them. They carried out lots of important missions. Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them How did they get there
To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example, a decayed tooth (蛀牙) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts, as Pang Zhihao, a space scientist, told the Beijing Morning Post.
You also need to become stronger with hard training. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. Besides, you need to build your muscles as strong as athletes by running and swimming. You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk.
Knowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design, physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies (突发事件) happen during the mission (任务).
28.Among all the 13 Chinese astronauts, ________ is the first astronaut into space.
A.Yang Liwei B.Zhai Zhigang
C.Wang Yaping D.Ye Guangfu
29.Among the four students below, who has the most chances of becoming an astronaut
A.Mary—She is healthy and just has a decayed tooth.
B.Tom—He flies 1000 hours with only one accident.
C.James—He is able to do tasks underwater for more than eight hours with no stop.
D.John—He is good at music and physics.

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.
33.What’s the temperature in space station
A.About 21℃. B.About 120℃.
C.About -85℃. D.We don’t know.

Online classes in space got lots of interests in Chinese students. The “classroom” in space station is about 400 kilometers away from the earth. The space classes make the young be proud of our country. As a special “teacher”, they all think Wang Yaping is “the most beautiful astronaut”.
Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects and sports. Luckily, at the age of seventeen, the Air Force (空军), Changchun Flight Academy, accepted her.
Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a man astronaut. When will China have a woman one ” At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours during nine years in the training center, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, her space dream came true. Shenzhou-10 sent her to space. She joined the team of Shenzhou-13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time.
However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain (痛苦) that most people can’t stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman.” She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. That finally made her dream come true.
“You are on the way to success as long as you stick to (坚持) your dreams,” Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young.

The astronauts started work at 8: 00 a. m. Beijing time on Friday. They finished a check of the spaceship and collected trace elements (微量元素) in the air in four hours. Then, they had two hours for lunch and rest.
Afternoon work began at 2 o’clock. On arriving at the center at about 4 p. m. , Nie Haishang and Tang Hongbo replaced the device to clean up CO2. This can give astronauts a better living place and support life in the space station.
Later in the afternoon, astronauts did some exercises. It is one of the most useful ways to keep healthy in space. While Liu Boming exercised on the space bike and Tang was on the treadmill, Nie reported to the crew on the ground about the day’s work and plans for the next day.
After dinner, they started watching “Xinwen Lianbo”, the most-watched daily TV news program in China. The team on the ground send news programs to the astronauts on time every day. It is one of the most important ways to help them know about things happening on the ground. Then, such as watching movies, playing music, talking to their families and so on. They went to sleep at about 10 o’clock.
This is a day in China’s space station Tiangong.

Many people dream of traveling into outer space, However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA.That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station (ISS) at a time.
Muscle and bone loss
In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves, so their muscles start shrinking. To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS.
Sleep disorder
In space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this light-dark cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall, and it is uncomfortable. Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods (分离仓) that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.
Brain change
Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during space flight. It can affect how the brain deal with how we see, stay balanced and move around. That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to the Earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more space flights. But they still need to do more research.
45.According to the passage, astronauts may have the following health problems EXCEPT ________.
A.bone loss B.sleep disorder C.brain changes D.headache
46.The underlined word “shrinking” in the second paragraph means ________.
A.改变 B.颤抖 C.萎缩 D.膨胀

Wukong, Tiangong, Tianwen... Do you know where the name s of Chinese space programs come from
Wukong, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer satellite (暗物质粒子探测卫星), is named after a Chinese superhero the Monkey King. According to Journey to the West, the Monkey King has a pair of sharp (锐利的) eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as the Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space.
The name of the space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace (天宫)”. In Chinese myths (神话), this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong Space Station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together.
Tianwen, China’s Mars mission (火星任务), gets its name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet (诗人) from ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth. Perhaps the Tianwen mission will end up answering some of Qu Yuan’s questions.
If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long-cherished (珍藏已久的) space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programs is taken very seriously.
50.The underlined word “evil” means “________”.
A.诚恳 B.善良 C.邪恶 D.丑陋
51.What is Tiangong used for
A.It’s used for searching dark matter. B.It’s used as a home for the astronauts in space.

A Universty Professor Turns Into an Astronaut
Gui Haichao is a young professor at Beihang University. On May 30, 2023, he arrived at China’s space station by Shenzhou XVI spacecraft. He has become an idol for numerous people in China overnight. As a payload expert (载荷专家), he mainly conducted space science experiments. Gui’s story is very inspiring. It shows that dreams can be reached by efforts.
Gui grew up in a rural family in Shi Dian County, Yunnan Province. He loved science as a child. He kept a set of encyclopedias from which he gained a lot of knowledge about space. In his second year of high school, he listened to the campus radio and got the news of Yang Liwei’s first space flight for China. Suddenly, he felt excited, and his interest in exploring (探索) space began. After his college entrance examination, Gui placed first in science in his county, and he was admitted to Beihang University.
Gui studied aircraft design and engineering at university. He got a doctor’s degree after nine years of study. He then went overseas for further study. After returning to China, he taught at his alma mater (母校). He had a dream of moving his beloved scientific work into space.
“I wasted no time in applying,” Gui remembered the moment when he found the notice. In 2018, China made a plan to recruit its third group of astronauts. After several rounds of selection for more than two years, Gui stood out among about 2,500 candidates and became one of the four selected payload experts.
Over the past few years, Gui has got survival training (生存训练) in deserts and been trained to handle those complex equipment (设备). He learned to do experiments in the space environment. The training was a great challenge for him. “I felt very dizzy often,” said Gui. “So I added exercises and used some methods used by pilots.”
As a teacher, Gui was strict about studying. When reviewing essays for students, he would always give the right advice in detail. Gui would sometimes list 30 to 40 suggestions, even pointing out incorrect images. In the eyes of his students, Gui is positive (乐观的) and open-minded, seldom affected by a bad mood. In the face of setbacks (挫折), he quickly cheers himself up and gets back to his work with passion.
Gui has done space experiments in many fields. “I believe that we can finish the mission with our team’s efforts,” he said proudly.

Tang Hongbo: The first person to return to the “Tiangong”
On September 16, 2021, before the Shenzhou-12 crew (班组) left the core module (核心舱) of the space station, Tang Hongbo returned to the capsule (舱) and took a turn, secretly promised to himself, “I must come back in the near future”.
Just 2 years and 1 month later, Tang Hongbo’s wish came true—on October 25, 2023, Tang Hongbo appeared at Wen Tian Hall for the second time to meet with Chinese and foreign media reporters.
The difference is that this time he was the leader of the Shenzhou-17 crew to space. From the first manned flight of the space station stage to the second manned flight in the new stage of space station application and development, Tang Hongbo became the first astronaut to return to the “Tiangong” and the Chinese astronaut with the shortest interval (间隔) between two missions so far.
“At this moment, my mood is calm and firm. Always being ready to go to space for the motherland is my dream and responsibility when I joined the astronaut team. It has never changed, and I have never been lazy for a second.” Tang Hongbo said.
