Question

【題目】 Astronauts (宇航員) have very busy lives. Each day they are carefully planned by mission (任務(wù)) control. The 12-hour working day on the International Space Station (ISS) begins with a wake-up call. After a quick wash with a wet cloth, the crew (全體乘務(wù)員) have breakfast and run through the jobs for the day.

Space stations are like large houses that need much care and attention. Much of the crew’s time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments.

At least two hours each day is spent on exercise. It is necessary to keep the crew healthy. In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a deserted island. A crew of two or three astronauts has to survive far from home for weeks or months.

If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team. Crew members have to learn to share jobs, such as cleaning and repairs. They also have to talk about problems and discuss how to deal with them.

Astronauts first feel the influence of weightlessness (失重) when the rocket engines are turned off. Straight away, they begin to float (漂浮), held down only by seat belts. Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear. superhuman strength. They can lift objects that would be far too heavy to move on the earth.

Without the influence of gravity (重力), astronauts become weak. To stay fit, they have to exercise several hours each day. In a space station, there is no up or down. There is no difference between a floor and a ceiling (天花板). This can make astronauts feel sick until they get used to this strange environment.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從A、B、C、D四個選項中選擇一個最佳答案。

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【5】A

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了宇航員在太空站的忙碌生活。他們的時間安排、團(tuán)隊合作、鍛煉以及失重的影響。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句“The 12-hour working day”可知一天工作12小時。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Much of the crew’s time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments”可知乘務(wù)員的時間主要用于做科學(xué)實驗。故選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段“In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a deserted island”可知在太空站就像在荒島上一樣，需要每天鍛煉保持健康努力活下去。survive的含義是“生存”。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team”可知他們需要團(tuán)體合作，A表示正確。根據(jù)第五段“Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear superhuman strength”失重讓宇航員看起來有超人的力氣，但不是真的強(qiáng)壯，B選項的“makes astronauts become strong”表述錯誤。根據(jù)最后一段“In a space station, there is no up or down”可知C表述錯誤。根據(jù)第三段“At least two hours each day is spent on exercise”可知D選項“exercise one hour each day”表述錯誤。故選A。

【5】標(biāo)題概括題。文章主要講述的是宇航員在太空站的生活，講到了時間安排、團(tuán)隊合作、鍛煉以及失重的影響�？删C合概括的出標(biāo)題是astronauts’ lives in the space station。故選A。

文章的標(biāo)題與文章的主旨有關(guān)。此文的主旨句是第一段第一句“Astronauts have very busy lives”，后文具體介紹了宇航員在太空站的生活；他們的時間安排、團(tuán)隊合作、鍛煉以及失重的影響。所以標(biāo)題需要總體地概括文章內(nèi)容，即astronauts’ lives in the space station宇航員在太空站的生活。
