[语篇综合训练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The ISS orbits Earth at an average of 250 miles from the surface of Earth and completes 15.5 circles per day, once every 92 minutes.In other words, the astronauts see the sunrise and sunset 16 times every day!
The station is inhabited by astronauts conducting research in various fields, while also using it as an observatory to explore Earth and outer space.It is also intended to be a transportation center for spacecrafts that are bound for the Moon, Mars and other interplanetary voyages.
The crew is not only responsible for the scientific experimentation and research being conducted onboard, but also the upkeep and maintenance of the vessel, a vessel that is continuously in motion and exposed to the worst possible elements.Such conditions are significant area of study for researchers.
The most common effect of space is the initial contact — getting used to such an alien environment. Astronauts are often seen to display anxiety or depression as they adjust to the novelty of space, according to postpsychiatric screenings of astronauts. Other causes of stress are the high pressure of work while being under frequent public observation, being away from home and family, and missing important events.
Sleep is another major factor that affects the mood and efficiency of the astronauts. Due to the irregularity in life and the constant rotation (转动) of sunrise and sunset, the circadian rhythm (生理节律) of the astronauts goes completely haywire, resulting in poor quality of sleep. The shuttle itself is noisy, with essential equipment always in operation to sustain the vessel. Half of all the astronauts onboard rely on sleeping pills to get some rest and manage to get an average 2 hours less sleep than when they're back on Earth.Sleep is so critical for functionality that 50% of all medicine taken by astronauts in orbit is to help them sleep better. Low-Earth Orbit living is a restless endeavor, indeed.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在国际空间站生活对宇航员精神方面的挑战。
1.Which of the following is most likely to affect the astronauts' mood
A.Scientific experiments onboard.
B.Observation of outer space.
C.Interplanetary voyages.
D.Exposure to extreme conditions.

解析:推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可推知,暴露在太空的极端环境中最有可能对宇航员的情绪产生影响。
2.Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase in the last paragraph
A.Return to normal.
B.Become out of control.
C.Go unnoticed.
D.Remain unchanged.

解析:词义猜测题。从画线部分前文中的“irregularity in life and the constant rotation(转动)”和其后结果状语“resulting in poor quality of sleep”可推知,此处指宇航员的生理节律紊乱或失去控制。
3.How can we describe the astronauts' life in the ISS
A.Highly-pressured.   B.Trouble-free.
C.Safe and sound. D.Quiet and beautiful.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第一句及第四段第二、三句以及第五段首句可知,国际空间站的宇航员要适应一个全新的环境,还要做各种实验和研究等,因此他们的压力是很大的。

4.What is mainly discussed in the passage
A.The functions of the ISS.
B.The missions of the astronauts.
C.The mental challenges of living in the ISS.
D.The splendid view of the space.
解析:主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后两段可知,本文主要讲述了在国际空间站生活对宇航员精神上的挑战。

When the weather starts to warm up, we love heading to the beach for a few days. During one such trip, after a few days of being 5 on the beach and spending too much time walking the boardwalk, we decided to go for a 6 .
We 7 a car for the day and drove to Key West. Our 8 was to enjoy a scenic drive on Highway 1 and maybe try some pie and head back, but the day 9 to be more memorable than that.
It was a breathtaking drive and we kept our eyes glued to the window. The scenery was 10 and felt like we were driving over water. When we were closer to Key West, 11 my husband — stopped the car, grabbed his camera, and ran out looking up at the sky — 12 me looking at him confused (困惑的).

Ⅲ.语法填空
The first creature to orbit our planet was just three years old, saved from the streets of Moscow only more than a week 1 her historic travel. Her name was Laika. Her 1957 flight paved the way for space exploration at the time 2 scientists didn't know if spaceflight was deadly for living creatures.
Man is a born explorer. Since before the dawn of civilization, we've been trying 3 (go) over the horizon to find food or more space, or just to see what's beyond those trees or mountains or oceans. Our 4 (able) to explore has reached new heights in the last hundred years. Airplanes could 5 (simple) our travel, shorten distances and show us Earth from a new angle. By the middle of the last century, we aimed even 6 (high).
Laika 7 (follow) into orbit three years later by the first human, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. It was our first step into space. Then we turned our sights to the moon and the solar system. Manned space stations began shining brightly in the sky.
Space travel is 8 like that in the movies. Getting from planet to planet (or moon) across the solar system requires complex calculations 9 (involve) inertia (惯性) and gravity — literally, rocket science. Space is also 10 (safe). More than 20 astronauts have died, doing their job. However, that hasn't stopped people from signing up and going into space.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了人类的太空探索历史。
1.before 考查介词。此处表示“在它历史性的旅行前一个多星期,它刚被人从莫斯科的街头救起”,因此用before,表示“在……之前”。
2.when 考查定语从句。此处表示“在科学家还不知道太空飞行是否对生物有致命危害的时候,它1957年的太空之旅为太空探索铺平了道路。”空前是主句,空处引导定语从句,修饰前面的先行词time,空处在从句中作时间状语,故用when引导该定语从句。
3.to go 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,此处表示“从文明出现前起,我们就一直努力越过地平线去寻找食物和更多的空间,或者只是看看那些树、那些山或那些海的那边有什么”。因此,此处应填不定式,构成try to do sth.“试图/努力做某事”。
4.ability 考查名词。根据空前的Our和空后的to explore以及谓语has reached可知,空处要填名词作主语,故填ability“能力”。
5.simplify 考查动词。空前是情态动词,空后是名词our travel,因此本空应填动词原形。simplify意为“使简化,使简易”。
6.higher 考查比较级。前面提到“has reached new heights in the last hundred years”,此处提到“到20世纪中期,我们的目标更高”,因此空处应该用副词的比较级higher。空前的even也是暗示。
7.was followed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处描述了一个过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时;且根据语境可知,此处应该用被动语态;主语为Laika。故填was followed。
8.nothing/not 考查代词或副词。此处表示太空旅行不像电影里的那样,它需要复杂的计算。nothing like“完全不像”,此处也可以用not表示否定意义。
9.involving 考查非谓语动词。空处是非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰calculations,被修饰词与involve“包含”是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作定语。
10.unsafe 考查语境辨义。根据后一句“More than 20 astronauts have died, doing their job.”可知,此处表示太空旅行也很危险,即不安全,故此处应该用safe的反义词unsafe“不安全的,危险的”。5 / 5

The ISS orbits Earth at an average of 250 miles from the surface of Earth and completes 15.5 circles per day, once every 92 minutes.In other words, the astronauts see the sunrise and sunset 16 times every day!
The station is inhabited by astronauts conducting research in various fields, while also using it as an observatory to explore Earth and outer space.It is also intended to be a transportation center for spacecrafts that are bound for the Moon, Mars and other interplanetary voyages.
The crew is not only responsible for the scientific experimentation and research being conducted onboard, but also the upkeep and maintenance of the vessel, a vessel that is continuously in motion and exposed to the worst possible elements.Such conditions are significant area of study for researchers.
The most common effect of space is the initial contact — getting used to such an alien environment. Astronauts are often seen to display anxiety or depression as they adjust to the novelty of space, according to postpsychiatric screenings of astronauts. Other causes of stress are the high pressure of work while being under frequent public observation, being away from home and family, and missing important events.
Sleep is another major factor that affects the mood and efficiency of the astronauts. Due to the irregularity in life and the constant rotation (转动) of sunrise and sunset, the circadian rhythm (生理节律) of the astronauts goes_completely_haywire,_resulting in poor quality of sleep. The shuttle itself is noisy, with essential equipment always in operation to sustain the vessel. Half of all the astronauts onboard rely on sleeping pills to get some rest and manage to get an average 2 hours less sleep than when they're back on Earth.Sleep is so critical for functionality that 50% of all medicine taken by astronauts in orbit is to help them sleep better. Low Earth Orbit living is a restless endeavor, indeed.
1.Which of the following is most likely to affect the astronauts' mood
A.Scientific experiments onboard.
B.Observation of outer space.
C.Interplanetary voyages.
D.Exposure to extreme conditions.
2.Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase in the last paragraph
A.Return to normal.
B.Become out of control.
C.Go unnoticed.
D.Remain unchanged.
3.How can we describe the astronauts' life in the ISS
A.Highly pressured.   B.Trouble free.
C.Safe and sound. D.Quiet and beautiful.
4.What is mainly discussed in the passage
A.The functions of the ISS.
B.The missions of the astronauts.
C.The mental challenges of living in the ISS.
D.The splendid view of the space.

6.选C 根据下文“We ________ a car for the day and drove to Key West.”可知,作者他们开车出去玩了。
7.选B 根据下文“for the day”可知,作者他们只用了一天,所以这辆车应该是借的。
8.选A 根据下文“but the day ________ to be more memorable than that”可知,实际上这一天的情况应该是跟原来计划的不一样。
9.选D 根据上文“but”可知,上下文是转折关系,所以应该是结果跟计划的不一样。
10.选B 根据下文“and felt like we were driving over water”可知,景色应该是很美的。
11.选A 根据下文“grabbed his camera, and ran out looking up at the sky”可知,作者丈夫的行为是很匆忙的,所以应该是突然停车。

Ⅲ.语法填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了人类的太空探索历史。
1.before 考查介词。此处表示“在它历史性的旅行前一个多星期,它刚被人从莫斯科的街头救起”,因此用before,表示“在……之前”。
2.when 考查定语从句。此处表示“在科学家还不知道太空飞行是否对生物有致命危害的时候,它1957年的太空之旅为太空探索铺平了道路。”空前是主句,空处引导定语从句,修饰前面的先行词time,空处在从句中作时间状语,故用when引导该定语从句。
3.to go 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,此处表示“从文明出现前起,我们就一直努力越过地平线去寻找食物和更多的空间,或者只是看看那些树、那些山或那些海的那边有什么”。因此,此处应填不定式,构成try to do sth.“试图/努力做某事”。
4.ability 考查名词。根据空前的Our和空后的to explore以及谓语has reached可知,空处要填名词作主语,故填ability“能力”。
5.simplify 考查动词。空前是情态动词,空后是名词our travel,因此本空应填动词原形。simplify意为“使简化,使简易”。
6.higher 考查比较级。前面提到“has reached new heights in the last hundred years”,此处提到“到20世纪中期,我们的目标更高”,因此空处应该用副词的比较级higher。空前的even也是暗示。
7.was followed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处描述了一个过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时;且根据语境可知,此处应该用被动语态;主语为Laika。故填was followed。
8.nothing/not 考查代词或副词。此处表示太空旅行不像电影里的那样,它需要复杂的计算。nothing like“完全不像”,此处也可以用not表示否定意义。
9.involving 考查非谓语动词。空处是非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰calculations,被修饰词与involve“包含”是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作定语。
10.unsafe 考查语境辨义。根据后一句“More than 20 astronauts have died, doing their job.”可知,此处表示太空旅行也很危险,即不安全,故此处应该用safe的反义词unsafe“不安全的,危险的”。
