题目内容
14.Space travel is nothing new.The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961.Since then,people have not only traveled to space,but many of them have also lived there in space stations for sometime.The Soviet Union sent the first space station into space in 1971.this space station was called Salyut 1.Salyut 1was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiment.The first group of astronauts lived there for 23days.The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations.At about the same time,the United Stations built its own space station,called Skylab.
Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time.However,it wasn't until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time.Mir stayed in space from 1989until 2001,when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.
Living in space stations seems to be fun,but astronauts face many problems.One of them is food.All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle.Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months),a lot of it has to be stored in cans.The space station does not have a fridge,but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh.Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care.
Without the help of gravity,sitting down to eat can be tough.Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating.They also have to be very careful so that food does not float away.
31.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word"observed"in Paragraph 2?C
A.Discovered B.Checked C.Watched D.Fixed
32.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?B
A.Astronauts can never have a chance to eat fresh food when they live in space stations.
B.The Soviet Union sent a total of 9space stations into space in the 1970s and 1980s.
C.Astronauts could live in the Mir space station for no more than three weeks.
D.Space travel has quite a long history of more than 60years.
33.What is the best title of this passage?D
A.Exploring Space B.Space Travel C.Living in Space D.Space Stations.
分析 宇宙旅行不是什么新鲜事了.第一艘载人宇宙飞船在1961年送入太空.从那时起,人们不仅仅去太空旅游,他们中的许多人同时还住在太空一段时间.
苏联1971年发射了第一个空间站Salyut 1进入了太空,Salyut 1设计成一个人们能居住的能观察太空能做实验的地方.第一个宇航员小组在那住了23天.苏联继续又建造了七个苏联空间站.同时,美国也建立了自己的空间站,叫做Skylab.
宇航员在空间站参观居住很短的时间,然而,直到19世纪80年代苏联发射Mir太空站,人们才开始在那住更长的时间.和平号空间站在太空从1989年待到2001年,当这个空间站太旧了不能再安全的居住了的时候.
住在太空似乎很有趣,但是宇航员面临着许多问题,其中一个就是食物,在太空站所有的食物在地球上放在一起,然后由航天飞机送去太空站.因为食物需要保持一段时间(有时候要保持三个月),其中的很多食物需要用罐头储存.太空站没有冰箱,但是它有一间凉爽的屋子让水果蔬菜保鲜.宇航员也吃其他的食物,例如风干肉,不需要特别的保管.
没有重力,坐下来吃东西是困难的,宇航员吃饭的时候有时候将自己绑在墙上,他们还必须非常小心,那样食物才不会漂走.
解答 31:答案:C.词义理解题.结合Salyut 1was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiment联系上下文,可知此处是说在太空做实验,观察太空,故选C.
32:答案:B.推理判断题.根据第二段The Soviet Union(前苏联) sent the first space station into space in 1971.…The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations.描述,可知建立了第一个太空站之后又建了七个,it wasn't until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time在十九世纪八十年代又发射了一个和平号空间站,故一共9个,可知选B.
33:答案:D.标题判断题.这篇短文主要描述了空间站的发展历史和科研人员在空间站的工作生活情况.故选D.
点评 本文浅显易懂,层次分明,学生很容易把握文章中心内容.答题中注意带着问题阅读短文,一般就能顺利找出答题依据.对于不能直接找到根据的问题注意联系上下文,根据短文中心总结出正确答案.
