Exciting new research suggests there could be living things in the clouds above Venus, whose orbit brings it closer to the Earth than any other planets. A study of Venus’ atmosphere shows a type of gas is in its atmosphere. The gas, on the Earth, is only produced by very small creatures. If such creatures are found on Venus, it might be the first evidence of life existing somewhere else in the universe.
Scientists found the gas in thick clouds about 35 miles above Venus’ equator. On the Earth, the gas is produced by special forms of life that live in airless environments such as swamps (沼泽). It can also be made in factories but neither explanation helps scientists to understand what the gas is doing on Venus.
To get to the bottom of the mystery, the scientists have now made their data public in the hope that others may be able to find a clue that they have missed. Professor Greaves explained that the gas might be produced by some non-living natural process that we haven’t yet discovered, but for now, the idea of life on Venus has to be considered. She added, “In my whole career, I have been interested in the search for life elsewhere in the universe, so I’m just blown away that this is even possible. We are sincerely encouraging other people to tell us what we might have missed. This is how science works.” If scientists on the Earth are unable to find an explanation, then a future mission to Venus might be needed to prove whether or not life exists there. The US space agency NASA is already planning an exploration that they would float on a balloon through the clouds of Venus, and this could be launched sometime in the 2030s.
1．What can we know about Venus according to Paragraph 1
A．The thickness of its clouds.
B．The existence of a kind of gas.
C．The distance from it to the Earth.
D．The exact temperature of its atmosphere.
2．Why have the scientists made their data public
A．To seek others’ help to find the truth.
B．To change the wrong conclusion before.
C．To prove the existence of life on Venus.
D．To announce their successful experience.
3．What does the underlined phrase “blown away” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Impressed. B．Upset. C．Grateful. D．Doubtful.
4．Where does the text probably come from
A．A travel brochure. B．A medical report.
C．A science magazine. D．A museum handbook.

How is eating in space different from eating on Earth
If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). 1 Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.
2 If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill (洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. 3 A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
4 The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. 5 Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A．Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
B．Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission.
C．Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D．Taste is also important.
E．For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board.
F．Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider.
G．Finally, weight is an important concern.
五、语法填空：
The Smart Dragon3 1 (make) its first fight on December 9, 2022. The rocket (火箭) too off at 2:35 pm from a ship in the Yellow Sea and sent 14 satellites during its fight. With its 2 (success) fight, the Smart Dragon3 is now the 3 (large) and strongest in China’s solid-propellant (固体推进器) rocket. It is capable 4 sending many satellites.
The model is the second Chinese rocket with the ability 5 (take) off both on land and at sea. China had 6 (previous) carried out two ship-based rocket launches using its Long March 11 solid-propellant rocket.
A new type of launch service ship is under research and 7 (develop). It will be able to carry many rockets and conduct several launches in a single flight.
Now we have started designing the Smart Dragon 4, 8 will be larger and more powerful. We are also studying the possibility of bringing liquid-propellant rockets to the sea for launch.
9 (compare) with traditional land-based launches, a sea task has a lower risk of causing trouble. The method also allows launches to be made near the equator(赤道), and that increases the rocket’s carrying capacity, lowers launch costs10 increases the life of satellites.
