三、阅读理解。
Space tourism(太空旅游业) is no longer a thing of science fiction(科幻小说). There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. Space X is one of the most famous companies offering trips to space. So far, it has had over 100 customers. And in April, 2022, it sent 4 people into space. Now, what can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples.
See the Earth from Space
Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives
most people a sense of both achievements and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth).
Stay in a Space Hotel
Hotels are directly connected with tourism, right? So if there's space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold up to 6 people at a time.
Eat in Space
Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a
quick fact! You aren't allowed to burp(打嗝) in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.
Visit the Moon and Other Planets
Space tourism companies are racing to launch(发射) the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our lifetime. And who knows, maybe we'll even see hotels on the moon.
With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around_the_corner,_and it might come much faster than we think. Who
knows what the future might be like? Will you be the next person to travel to space?
( )1.How many people did Space X send into space in April, 2022?
A.Three. B.Four.
C.Five. D.Six.
B
( )2.Space tourists are not allowed to burp in space because ________.
A.sending people into space is still a thing of science fiction
B.it is no good to sending tourists to stay in their “space hotel”
C.it stops them from getting a sense of achievements and wonder
D.bubbles will come out of their mouth and it might be dangerous
D
( )3.The underlined words “around the corner” in the last paragraph probably mean “__________”.
A.very slow B.very near
C.very difficult D.very traditional
( )4.The text is probably from the column(栏目) of __________ in a magazine.
A.Travel B.Health
C.Sports D.Education
B
A
