Availability：In Stock
DESCRIPTION
Certainly, life on Earth will come to an end, whether because of climate disasters, world wars, or the death of the sun in a few billion years.To avoid dying out, we will have to find a new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to live.
In this challenging and interesting book, Christopher Mason argues that we have a duty to do just that.We have a responsibility to act—not only for us human beings but for all other creatures on which we depend.
Mason argues that our technology that has enabled us to build rockets and land on other planets can be applied to redesigning biology so that we can live on those planets.And he makes a 500-year plan for carrying out the huge project.
As they are today, our weak human bodies could never survive travel to another planet.Mason describes the bad effects that long-term space travel had on astronaut Scott Kelly, who returned from a year on the International Space Station with changes to his blood, bones, and genes(基因)．
Mason suggests a ten-period,500-year program that would engineer our body so that humans can stand the extreme environments of outer space—with the final goal of achieving human settlement of new solar systems.He makes a road map of which solar systems to visit first, and uses biotechnology and genetics to offer a unique vision of the universe to come.

It's easy for consumers to buy food and drinks like a bowl of hot rice and cake online or from neighbourhood shops，but for astronauts such things were impossible in the past.
Members of China's Shenzhou manned space flight in 2021，however，were able to enjoy such food，thanks to Joyoung，a Chinese firm.Joyoung created a mobile space kitchen for the astronauts.A drinking water machine，an air heater and a soybean milk maker were all accessible in the kitchen through a smart app.Tang Hongbo，who was a member of the Shenzhou manned spacecraft，said in the news that during his three-month trip，he could eat hot food with just half-hour efforts，a contrast to the past when similar attempts required several hours.“If we had time，we would also use equipment to eat homemade yogurt.We could also control the equipment in the space kitchen through mobile phone apps，” he said.
In the past，most foods couldn't be directly heated in a microwave oven in the space.Conduction equipment often caused uneven(不均匀的) heating.An astronaut had to spend as long as four hours to heat some vegetables in the space kitchen.To solve the problem，Joyoung has developed equipment that gives out hot air to heat vegetables in a 360-degree way.That enables astronauts to eat steaming-hot fish-flavoured pork and Gongbao chicken，a spicy，stir-fried Chinese dish.
Besides Joyoung，a group of companies，including Xiaomi Corp and Huawei Technologies，have contributed their technologies to the development of the space station.A vacuum(真空) cleaner enabled haircuts on the spacecraft possible.NOLO VR，a Chinese virtual reality manufacturer，has helped astronauts develop an experimental equipment through which laboratory technicians on the ground can see and experience what astronauts are doing in the space.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的企业将技术创新应用于空间站，为空间站的发展贡献了力量。
24．What do astronauts think of Joyoung's mobile space kitchen？

25．How does the author show the convenience on Shenzhou manned spacecraft？
A．By making contrasts.
B．By analyzing results.
C．By providing pictures.
D．By answering questions.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，在过去，在太空中加热食物费时费力且效果不好，但有了九阳开发的设备，宇航员能够吃到热气腾腾的可口饭菜，由此可知，作者通过对比来展示神舟载人飞船上的便利性。故选A。
26．What does the last paragraph want to show？

What do Neil Armstrong, Ed White and today's astronauts have in common They all wear a white spacesuit.Beyond NASA，space programs in countries like Russia and China also use white suits.This basic color has saved countless astronauts’ lives.NASA didn't always have white spacesuits.Their very first manned spaceflight，Project Mercury，used silver suits，but none of those astronauts actually explored the vacuum(真空) of space.And that's the key because out there，spacesuits have to be highly reflective.And the best color for that isn't silver，but white.
Here on Earth，our atmosphere protects us from 77% of the sun's radiation(辐射)．But astronauts in space don't have that natural protection，making them easily hurt by extreme temperatures，severe sunburn，and even cancer-causing cell damage.So to prevent that，they wear white suits that reflect the sun's harmful radiation.
But those white EVA suits aren't the only garment(衣服) in an astronaut's closet.When heading into space or coming home，NASA astronauts wear a bright orange suit similar in color to the safety vests Air Force pilots wear，and it's for similar reasons that loud orange stands out against the blue ocean and sky and is perfect for attracting attention.
That being said，times are changing.Nowadays we have more ways of finding out astronauts in need of rescue like GPS，so space agencies are now free to get creative with their color choices.NASA and other programs are already starting to use other colors like deep blue and mustard yellow.In the future，they could look a lot different because NASA is heading to Mars.It will be the longest crewed space mission to date，taking as long as three years from start to finish，and during that time，astronauts could suffer from boredom or depression.That's where colorful spacesuits could be useful.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了太空服并不总是白色的，随着时代和科技的进步，它们也可以是其他颜色。
28．What is the benefit of wearing white spacesuits？
A．Providing protection against sunlight.
B．Building team spirit among astronauts.
C．Avoiding damaging the vacuum of space.
D．Guarding astronauts from solar radiation.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段末句可知，穿白色太空服的好处是保护宇航员不受太阳辐射的伤害。故选D。
29．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3？
A．Astronauts in bright orange are easy to spot for rescue crews.
B．Astronauts have to prepare white EVA suits diverse in pattern.
C．Loud orange is the color of choice for dangerous space missions.
D．The safety vests Air Force pilots wear are popular with astronauts.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“...loud orange stands out against the blue ocean and sky and is perfect for attracting attention.”可知，亮橙色非常引人注目。由此推知，穿亮橙色太空服的宇航员比较容易被救援人员发现。故选A。
30．Why will NASA use colorful spacesuits for the space mission to Mars？
A．To set a new trend of spacesuits.
B．To brighten up the dull space life.
C．To show astronauts’ creative minds.
D．To meet the demand of space agencies.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...astronauts could suffer from boredom or depression.That's where colorful spacesuits could be useful.”可推知，美国宇航局把火星任务的太空服制成彩色的是为了照亮单调的太空生活。故选B。
31．What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．Do Spacesuits Always Stay White
B．How Do Spacesuits Protect Astronauts
C．Do Colorful Spacesuits Have Advantages
D．Why Is White So Popular with Astronauts
解析：A 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段和最后一段内容可知，本文主要介绍了太空服并不总是白色的，随着时代和科技的进步，它们也可以是其他颜色。故A项“太空服总是白色的吗？”适合作为本文标题，符合文章主旨，并引起读者注意。故选A。

What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture You take a selfie(自拍照)．But what about selfies in space Last year, NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, said that he took the first selfie in space during the Gemini Ⅻ mission in 1966.
“For me, it needs to be digital to be a selfie，” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.According to Levasseur, the idea of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and the human wish to interact(互动) on social platforms.“The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it，” she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s, and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way.Astronauts had to pull the film magazines(胶卷暗盒)out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions had a weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after the sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia, which broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003.“Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work quickened the pace for digital，” Levasseur says.
Today, astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true space selfies taken by digital cameras.Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day.The first astronaut selfie that went viral(迅速传播) on the Internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宇航员在太空自拍时储存方式的变化，最初是用胶卷，现在开始使用数码相机拍摄并可以在社交媒体分享。
32．What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's words？
A．It hardly makes any sense.
B．It develops the technology of space selfies.
C．It is different from public opinions.
D．It needs to be further proved.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段可知Jennifer Levasseur 认为，自拍必须是数码的，而且自拍的想法与互联网文化和人类在社交平台上互动的愿望直接相关。由此可推断，Jennifer Levasseur认为Aldrin的话没什么意义。故选A。
33．Why were cameras left in space on early space missions？
A．To lighten the weight of the spaceship.
B．To test cameras in the special environment.
C．To prepare for the next space exploration.
D．To take more pictures in space.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“当宇航员返回地球时，他们必须拿出胶卷暗盒，把相机留在那里，因为早期的太空任务在返回途中有重量限制”可知，早期太空任务中照相机被遗留在太空是为了减轻飞船的重量。故选A。
34．What pushed space camera technology？
A．The invention of new films.
B．The fear of falling behind in the space race.
C．The concern about the loss of valuable data.
D．The popularity of space selfies.
解析：C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，哥伦比亚号航天飞机出事后，太空相机技术发生了重大变化。由于担心他们永远无法将胶卷从太空带回地球，从而失去所有的努力，他们加快了数字化的步伐。因此，担心失去宝贵的数据促进了太空相机技术的发展。故选C。
35．What is the best title for the text？
A．The Exploration of Space
B．The History of Selfies in Space
C．The Change in Camera Technology
D．The Development in Space Technology
解析：B 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段美国国家航空航天局宇航员巴兹·奥尔德林在1966年拍了第一张太空自拍，第三段自20世纪60年代以来，宇航员一直在太空飞行器上携带相机，并在途中给自己拍了很多照片和最后一段可知，如今，宇航员可以在太空中访问互联网和社交平台，发布用数码相机拍摄的真实太空自拍。由此可知，文章主要介绍了宇航员在太空自拍的历史变迁。所以“The History of Selfies in Space(太空自拍的历史)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。

Someone argues that it wastes trouble and time to plant and grow things just for some vegetables and flowers.However, it offers us a lot. 36. There are also more advantages.
It's a fun workout.It's wonderful to get out in the garden on a beautiful day.Planting seeds, pulling up weeds and other gardening tasks actually provide a whole-body workout for adults over 65 years old. 37. Thus, it might keep your interest longer than traditional exercise.
It sharpens your mind. 38. Researchers once measured the part of brain related to memory and found the participants, all seniors, had their levels of memory increased greatly after they created a vegetable garden.
It benefits your heart and weight.Gardening can contribute to reducing the risk of a heart attack by 30 percent.That is because “playing in the dirt” helps reduce stress.In addition, one goal of doing exercises is to stay in shape. 39. According to American research, gardeners have a significantly lower risk of being overweight or obese than non-gardeners.
40. An experiment conducted by NASA found that planting and nurturing seeds improved astronauts' moods and eased their stress in the outer space.Since gardening can do that for astronauts, it can also benefit us.
A．It lifts your spirit.
B．It is a professional practice.
C．Gardening can help achieve it.
D．Gardening provides a workout for your brain.
E．Young children, even adults, enjoy playing in the dirt.
F．Even better, whatever your age, it is an activity with a potential harvest.
G．Working in a garden can improve your immune system, helping you stay fit.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Daniel got a job as a delivery man to work his way through college.His parents couldn't save up all the money he needed to get into law school，so since he was 15，he would take summer jobs and find some other jobs between studies to earn extra cash.
The boy was determined and every day he would wake up at 5 a．m.，summer or winter，riding on his old bike to deliver parcels.It wasn't an easy job，especially during winter.Besides that，his old bike was slow，making things harder.But that wasn't a problem for Daniel.
Daniel's schedule was always the same every day and people in the neighborhood already knew him.
He called them by their names，and they would often wave and greet him as he passed.
It was a normal day and Daniel was delivering parcels as usual.“Morning，Daniel! Check out my brand-new mountain bike！” called out a man whose home Daniel visited frequently.“Morning，Mr Warren! That's a really fancy bike！” Daniel screamed back at him as he rode towards his first delivery.He couldn't help imagining what it would feel like to own a bike like the one Mr Warren had just shown him.“My deliveries would double with that，” he thought longingly.
Suddenly，Daniel lost balance and fell on the road.He got up and leaned the bike against the wall to see what had happened.He found a nail stuck in the back tire(轮胎) and he unluckily had a flat tire.
As he turned around and tried to think of what to do，he saw something unusual.A strange man Daniel had never seen before furtively(鬼鬼祟祟地) looked around and placed a package under his jacket.“Hey！” Daniel shouted at the man.“Hey there! What are you doing That's not yours！” The man heard Daniel and started to run as fast as he could.
注意：续写词数应为150 左右。
After having a look at his bike's flat tire，Daniel quickly started to run after the man.
Mr Warren arrived on his new bike，and then helped pin(按住) the thief down.

After having a look at his bike's flat tire，Daniel quickly started to run after the man.“Stop! Thief！” Daniel cried out as he ran.The man was fast，but Daniel was faster.Daniel was gaining on the thief with every step he took.The desperate thief had to look over frequently to check the distance between them.Suddenly he tripped over a stone and fell.Daniel immediately caught him by the arm.The thief struggled to his feet，waving his fist toward Daniel in an attempt to escape.Daniel was holding the thief tight when he heard someone shouting “Here I come！”
Mr Warren arrived on his new bike，and then helped pin the thief down.Daniel told Mr Warren what had happened and called the police.Shortly afterwards，a policeman arrived and took the thief away.When Daniel was about to leave，Mr Warren stopped him and offered his new bike to Daniel and told him it was a gift for him.When Daniel tried to refuse such a generous gift，Mr Warren insisted he take the bike，saying that it was actually a reward for Daniel's bravery.Tears in his eyes，Daniel said，“Thank you so much! I'm glad to be of any help to you guys！”
