二、阅读理解
Most people have a place called "home" on Earth. What about in outer space The International Space Station (ISS) became our first "home" in space in 2000. It welcomed its first astronauts that year and paved the way(铺平道路) for 20 years of future research.
"You just find that we're all citizens(公民) of not a country, but of the planet," NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. "We are working together for the future of the humans."
Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, with 241 people from 19 countries. They have gone on spacewalks, done research and even grown plants in space.
The station's development is good for people on the earth. For example, the way how the station makes water clean helps poor villages to get better drinking water. The station also helps to tell us something terrible before it happens, such as earthquakes.
However, after being our home in space for over 7,000 days, the station is starting to get old. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to the earth and most of it will be burned up. Other debris (残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.
In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station, smaller than the ISS, near the moon.
11.What is the first "home" to astronauts in outer space

D. Astronauts think they are just common people like us on the earth.
13.How does the development of ISS help people on the earth
A. People will take a trip on the moon one day.
B. People learn how to work better in a science lab.
C. People in poor villages can get clean drinking water.
D. People will be able to grow plants as well as astronauts in space.
14.What will happen to ISS in the future
A. It will become a space station near the moon.

D. It will come back to the earth and most of it will be burned up.
