Question

【題目】 Attitude towards Space Trip

Do you want to spend a 10-day visit at the International Space Station? We have interviewed teenagers from around the world. They have different opinions about space trip.

Simon from England “There are so many beautiful places to see on the earth. I'd like to visit these places first before spending lots of money going into space. I think it should be cheap enough for everyone to go, not just the rich and famous.”

Ben from Canada “I think space travel is really bad for the space environment. We are sending more objects into space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk floating around. It's very dangerous for the tourists to travel in spaceship! ”

Maria from Germany “Whether you like it or not, space trip is going to be an important thing in the future. It's a great idea to travel in space. I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be common. I'd really love to do it.”

Yoko from Japan “Why do we want to travel into space? I'd rather go on holiday and stay in a hotel. It must be very boring to sit for hours in that small space shuttle（艙）. I'd like to take a plane and go to another place on the earth.”

本文講述了4位來自世界各地的青少年對太空旅行的看法。來自英國的西蒙，他覺得先去地球上美麗的地方，然后去太空；來自加拿大的本，他覺得保護太空環(huán)境比較重要；來自德國的瑪麗亞覺得非常期待太空旅行；來自日本的Yoko，覺得太空旅行很無聊；

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“I'd like to visit these places first before spending lots of money going into space”我想先去這些地方，然后花很多錢去太空，所以他覺得去外太空很貴，故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“…We are sending more objects into space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk floating around”它們會變成更小的碎片,變成漂浮在太空中的垃圾，所以保護太空環(huán)境是重要的，故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Maria from Germany”這一段中“I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be common. I'd really love to do it”我希望在50年的時間里，在太空度假是很常見的。我真的很喜歡做這件事，所以是Maria，故選C。
