三、阅读理解(每小题2分, 共10分)
Almost everyone has a question or two about living in space. What is life really like in space? And what do astronauts do there?
Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene needs as people do on Earth. When they wake up, they wash their hair, brush their teeth and go to the bathroom as well. However, because of microgravity(微重力), astronauts take care of themselves in different ways. For example, they use a kind of special matter to wash their hair and leg restraints(腿部固定装置)to position themselves when they use the toilet.
Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some food can be eaten in the natural form, such as fruit. Other foods require adding water such as noodles. There are no fridges in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid going bad.
Besides morning routine(常规)and eating in space, astronauts perform many tasks including checking the machines, updating computer equipment(更新电脑设备), etc. At the same time, the control center on the earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email with new instructions to assist them in their daily routines.
What's more, living in space is not just all work and no play. A popular way of relaxation is looking out of the window. And they can also enjoy themselves by watching movies, reading books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.
21. The underlined word “hygiene” in this passage probably means “________” in Chinese.
A. 医疗 B. 饮食 C. 心理 D. 卫生
22. As for eating in space, which statement is NOT true?
A. Astronauts eat three meals a day as people do on Earth.
B. Fruit can be eaten in the natural form.
C. Food can be kept fresh in fridges.
D. Meals are served by themselves.
23. What's the main idea of Paragraph Four?
A. Eating in space. B. Working in space.
C. Relaxing in space. D. Studying in space.
24. Besides checking the machines and updating computer equipment, astronauts also need to ________ in their daily work.
A. communicate with friends on the earth
B. control the people at the control center on the earth
C. receive the messages and follow the instructions from the control center on the earth
D. send messages to friends on the earth
25. From this passage, we learn that ________.
A. living in space is different but interesting
B. life in space is exactly the same as life on the earth
C. astronauts have little free time in space
D. astronauts living in space eat only two meals a day

When she was named as the First Woman Spaceship Commander in 1998, Eileen smiled and said, “When I was a child, I dreamed about space.

24. C 点拨: 细节理解题。由第四段第二句“…the control centre on the earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email with new instructions to assist them in their daily routines. ”可知, 地球控制中心会通过声音或邮件将新的指示发送给宇航员, 协助他们日常的工作。故选C。
25. A 点拨: 推理判断题。全文不仅描述宇航员在太空生活与在地球生活的差异, 还介绍了在太空工作与娱乐的具体内容。B选项 “exactly the same”偷换概念。C选项由最后一段可知, 宇航员在太空生活他们是有空闲时间来放松娱乐的, 并非 “little free time”。D选项由第三段可知, 宇航员在太空每日也是吃三餐, 而不是每日只吃两餐。故选A。

七、范文:
We had an argument about whether it was necessary to carry out outer space explorations at a class meeting recently.①
Some students thought it was important to research the outer space because①, first of all③, people can get a better understanding of the outer space. Second③, we can find new resources for human use. Third③, explorations can possibly bring about② new living space for human beings.
However, others thought very differently. They said this kind of exploration cost too much money. Besides③, it is very dangerous for astronauts to do such work.①
In my opinion②, people should research the outer space. With further space research, we may solve the population problem and pollution by moving to other planets one day. And such explorations into the outer space are worth trying out.②
名师点评: ①We had an argument about whether it was necessary to carry out outer space explorations at a class meeting recently. 是一个由whether引导的宾语从句; Some students thought it was important to research the outer space…这句话用了it作形式主语; it is very dangerous for astronauts to do such work. 这句话也用了it作形式主语。
②文中还使用了固定短语 bring about创造; In my opinion在我看来; be worth trying out值得试验。
③范文还使用了 first of all, second, third, besides这样的关联词, 使文章更加连贯。
本文的添彩点: 这篇短文中作者使用了一般过去时和一般现在时, 文章的上下文的联系合理, 文章层次清楚。
