[课时作业] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A China has launched three astronauts into orbit to begin occupation of the country's new space station.The three men—Nie Haisheng，Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo—are to spend three months aboard the Tianhe module some 380km(236 miles) above the Earth. It will be China's longest crewed space mission and the first in nearly five years.On Thursday，their Shenzhou­12 spacecraft successfully took off on its Long March 2F rocket.Lift­off from the Jiuquan satellite launch centre in the Gobi desert was at 09：22 Beijing time(01：22 GMT). The launch and following mission are another evidence of China's growing confidence and capability in the space science.In the past six months，the country has returned rock and soil samples to Earth from the surface of the Moon，and landed a six­wheeled robot on Mars—both highly complex. What will the crew do in space? The primary goal for Commander Nie Haisheng and his team on the Shenzhou­12 mission is to bring the 22.5­tonne Tianhe space station into service.“I have a lot of expectations，” Mr.Nie said ahead of the launch.“We need to set up our new home in space and test a series of new technologies.So，the mission is tough and challenging.I believe with the three of us working closely together，doing thorough and accurate operations，we can overcome our challenges.We have the confidence to complete the mission.” Tianhe space station was launched in April.It is the first and core part in what will eventually be a near 70­ton space station，including living quarters，science labs and even a high­tech telescope to view the universe.The various elements and staff will be launched in the next couple of years.The construction will be accompanied by regular goods deliveries，as well as 　Taikonauts　，conducting spacewalks outside the space station to accomplish the task.
