Question

【題目】

Living in space is common to astronauts. But what if it is a task of nearly a year? US astronaut Scott Kelly was in the International Space Station (ISS) for 340 days. It is the longest time a US astronaut has spent in space at a time. Kelly's stay is part of the Twins Study. When Scott Kelly spent nearly a year in the ISS, his twin brother Mark Kelly lived on Earth. They gave scientists more ways to study human space flight. Usually living in the ISS for such a long time is boring. Was it the same for Kelly? Let's take a look.

Good morning, everyone!

It's time to enjoy a sunrise. But for Kelly, it was one of the 16 sunrises he saw each day in the ISS. Isn't that cool?

Work comes first.

During his stay, Kelly and his partners did about 400 science experiments. One of them was about planting vegetables. And they did it! Growing vegetables will be helpful for longer space journeys.

Moving with microgravity (微重力).

As we all know, space is a place with microgravity which influences human bodies. So Kelly did exercise more than 700 hours in the ISS. That is about two hours of exercise a day. Microgravity also makes some easy things difficult. Kelly often slept in a sleeping bag, or his arms would float (瓢浮)in front of him all the time.

Boring? Why not do something for fun?

Kelly loved taking photos from space and sharing them with the world online. Even President Obama is his fan. Under one of his photos, Obama wrote, "Hey, loving the photos. Do you ever look out of' the window and just freak out(嚇壞了)?" "I don't freak out about anything, Mr. President except getting a question from you." Kelly replied.

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章記錄凱利參加雙胞胎計劃，在國際太空站的精彩生活。他可以一天看到16次日出；在太空站成功地種植蔬菜；他需要在微重力下活動；拍照片并分享到網(wǎng)上，甚至得到奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的留言回復(fù)。

【1】題意：凱利在國家太空站待了多久？

根據(jù)第一段“US astronaut Scott Kelly was in the International Space Station (ISS) for 340 days”可知在國際太空站待了340天。回答“how long”的問題用for+一段時間，故答案為For 340 days.

【2】題意：科學(xué)家為什么開始雙胞胎研究？

根據(jù)第一段“Kelly's stay is part of the Twins Study. When Scott Kelly spent nearly a year in the ISS, his twin brother Mark Kelly lived on Earth. They gave scientists more ways to study human space flight”雙胞胎參加研究是因為科學(xué)家需要更多的方式研究載人航天項目。故答案為They need more ways to study human space flight.

【3】題意：因為微重力凱利不得不做什么？

根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“So Kelly did exercise more than 700 hours in the ISS”凱利不得不在國際太空站做超過700小時的鍛煉。故答案為Kelly did exercise more than 700 hours in the ISS.

【4】題意：奧巴馬總統(tǒng)喜歡凱利的照片么？

一般疑問句回答用yes或者no。根據(jù)最后一段“Even President Obama is his fan”和“l(fā)oving the photos”可知奧巴馬喜歡凱利的照片。故答案為Yes.

【5】題意：你覺得凱利在太空站的生活怎么樣？

根據(jù)第二段“But for Kelly, it was one of the 16 sunrises he saw each day in the ISS. Isn't that cool”凱利一天看到16次日出。第三段“One of them was about planting vegetables. And they did it!”在太空站成功地種蔬菜。最后一段“Kelly loved taking photos from space and sharing them with the world online”可知凱利很喜歡太空站的生活，甚至拍照片發(fā)在網(wǎng)上和大家分享。由此可見他的生活很精彩很酷。故答案為Cool/wonderful.
