8.Most people,when they travel to space,would like to stay in orbit for a few days or more.And this stands to reason,if you're paying﹩20,000for your trip to orbit(轨道)!So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there's going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels.What would a space hotel actually be like to visit?Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel---private rooms,meals,bars.But they'll also offer two unique experiences:impressive views---of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly---from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date.It's actually surprising that as later as 1997,very few designs for space hotels were published.This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven't expected launch(发射) costs to come down far enough to make them possible.
Lots of people who've been to space have described vividly what it's like to live in zero gravity.There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing,gymnastics,and zero-G sports.Luckily,you don't need to sleep much living in zero gravity,so you'll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.
Of course all good things have come to an end,unfortunately.And so after a few days you'll find yourself heading back though you'll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrive.You'll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.

分析 文章主要讲述了有关太空宾馆的设想和设计,其中包括:太空宾馆的特色和人们的娱乐活动,文章还在第二段讲述了为什么很少有关太空宾馆的设计的原因.
解答 24~26 ABD
24.A 细节理解题.文章第一段叙述了人们想要多待一些时间,并说明:And this stands to reason,if you're paying$20.000 for your trip to orbit!由此推断,其原因为高额的费用促使人们想得到更多的实惠.其他原因没有涉及到.
25.B 细节理解题.文章提到太空宾馆的两大独特之处:But they'll also offer two unique experiences:impressive views…and the endless entertainment; of living in zero gravity…由此判断答案为B.
26..D 主旨大意题.文章主要从太空宾馆的设计和设想描述入手,讲述了它的特征以及其中的娱乐活动设计,所以选D.文章没有把主要篇幅放在太空旅游的描述上,B和C选项的内容太片面.
点评 阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.
