Module 3 Journey to space
单元话题语法填空
一、填空题
When you talk about astronauts, maybe you want (know) how they live in space. Many people think their lives are very interesting. Life in space is pretty different that on the earth.
In the past, astronauts (can) eat only small pieces of dried food. But now astronauts are able to eat (much) everyday food like fruit, vegetables and ice-cream than before.
All the people in the ISS (国际空间站) have their own rooms. They have to tie (系) (they) to their beds, or they'll fly away! That seems like strange way to sleep, astronauts say sleeping in space is really not too bad.
Exercising is very important in space. Astronauts exercise on bikes and other (machine) for about two hours every day. That way, they can still be (health) when they get back home.
Astronauts are hard-working whether in space or on the earth. Although the work sometimes is difficult, they are still (interest) in it and love the job.
Mars has recently welcomed a new guest, In Sight spacecraft (洞察号宇宙飞船). NASA (美国国家航空航天局) sent it there last November. It (land) on Mars on Nov 27. It is the eighth spacecraft to (success) land on Mars. The (seven) one was NASA's Cuiosity rover (火星船) in 2012. But InSight is different. It is the fist lander (study) things inside the red planet.
InSight was planned to spend about one Martian year on the planet. So far, it has been there for over 4 months, and it (spend) the next 20 months there. (it) main job is to stand on one place and dig deep inside Mars. This way, it can collect data (数据) that could probably (tell) us how Mars formed. This data may also help (science) learn more about the origins (起源) of Earth."
"We're digging into Mars, that's because we want to (well) understand not just Mars, but Earth itself." Bruse Banerdt from NASA said to ReuteRs.
In Sight is a pioneer (先锋) for future studies of Mars. NASA wants to send (astronaut) to Mars by the mid-2030s, according to NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.
Failing for Great Inventions
How strange it is! Most inventors work hard for months or years (improve) their products. However, sometimes, great ideas come up with by accident.
One example is Popsicle (棒冰). It was "invented" by Frank Epperson, American boy.
Back in 1905, kids were making DIY drinks (active). One day, Epperson made a fruit-flavored soda drink. However, he left it overnight-with the stick still in the cup. It was a cold night. The next morning, Epperson went out of the house and (discover) that the drink had frozen (结冰的) around the stick. He pulled it out of the cup and smelled it—"Yummy!"
Epperson didn't realize he had invented would spread to the world. Seventeen years later, made the frozen drinks at a party. They were so very popular he enjoyed more success after they (sell) at an amusement park a year later.
Epperson invented more (taste). He called his products "Eppsicles." His children, however, didn't like the name. They liked "Popsicles better." Epperson agreed with his kids and changed the name.
Anne Zhang is a 21-year-old girl from Hangzhou, China. She studies in a college in Britain. One day, when she was taking a train from London to Oxford, she (hear) loud noises on the train.
Before, the train had been very quiet. Some people were resting while others (read) books or listening to music. Suddenly, a goup of Chinese people laughed loudly as they played a game of cards.
As it becomes easier for Chinese people (get) chances to foreign countries, more and more of them are traveling abroad. However, their bad manners (give) them a bed reputation (名声) already.
Chinese always talk loudly in places like cafes and museums. They also spit and litter whenever they want and jump queues. Some Chinese tourists also like to write or draw pictures on famous buildings. In Singapore, Chinese tourists (punish) because they were smoking in Non-smoking areas.
Some people may say that they (do) everything that they want because they spend money in the country. In fact, this is not true. Besides (enjoy) ourselves, we should respect local customs and take care of the environment.
Sophie is a high school student. Every day she (have) a lot of things to deal with (处理). Ten years ago she (set) up her won organization, Beary Merry Christmas. Since then she (volunteer) to serve poor kids and families. Sophie and other volunteers (already, do) many good and useful things. In the past two years, they (give) out hundreds of toy bears and they (send) lots of clothes to poor people. They (ever, cook) meals for people who need them.
Sophie (make) future plans already. In the future, they (build) a public food bank. They (provide) a self-development class for the students in her school who will soon go into college.
Once upon a time, there (live) a girl named Arachne. She was quite talented in weaving (织绣). Everyone said that Minerva, the goddess of weaving, must have given her this talent. However, Arachne said she was even better weaving than Minerva. "In fact, I am ready to compete with her," said Arachne. When Minerva heard about that, she thought it was (possible) for a human being to beat a goddess. One day, Minerva appeared in front of Arachne and (remind) her of what she said. In no time, the competition began. Both Arachne and Minerva started to weave. Their (finger) moved very quickly. When they finished their work, everyone was (shock). Guess what! Arachne's blanket was much more beautiful than Minerva's. Minerva was very jealous (嫉妒的). "From now on, you will do all your weaving in the air!" she said angrily and turned Arachne a spider (蜘蛛). That's the spider came to the world.
I then decided to start volunteering in a hospital. The volunteers were making a team and chatting, and I thought I'd like (help) patients in that way too. In the Chapel (小礼拜堂), we take it in turns to do prayers (祷告) for patients, we each have a room where we go and talk to patients. In hospital, usually I make the tea and speak to patients especially if I see the patients who are sitting there on (they) own or don't have visitors. I go to the Chapel every Wednesday afternoon and go to work in the hospital the second Monday in a month.
There are so many good things about volunteering—meeting a lot of new people and building a friendship with them I get as much as the patients do. I feel (use) now and it's terrific to think I am making a (different) to somebody. Some people are looking forward to (see) you the next week. Volunteering is the (good) thing I've ever done. I hope everybody can join in.
These days, a new kind of restaurant is becoming popular. People who go there can have (wonder) food. They can enjoy (play) games and have fun with their family and friends as well. Of course it (be) a perfect place if you are on your own. Wink is the name of this restaurant. It is in Los Angeles.
First there are no waiters or waitresses around you, just runners in Wink. The screens (replace) them already. (Two), the service is much (fast) than before. You can give an order by touching the screen in front of you and runners will get it. While you (wait) for your food you can surf the Internet.
Wink is one of the (interesting) restaurants. It hosts "Bingo Games". All (table) in the restaurant can have a competition at the same time. You can (easy) control your meal and your fun there.
