They need to solve them in order to stay alive. They are in a spaceship far from the earth, and they need to take care of everything themselves. They need to be sure they have what they need to live there, because the astronauts may be in space for weeks. Here is how they solved the food problem. At first, the astronauts took tubes of semi-liquid (半流质的) food with them into space. They look like the toothpaste (牙膏) you use when you brush your teeth. The food did not taste great, but because astronauts did not need to take dishes with them, they had no dishes to wash. Today’s spaceships have a bigger menu. Astronauts can eat from bowls. In fact, they take cereal (谷类食物) and other foods with them. The foods are kept in a special way to stay fresh. They have a kitchen in the spaceship. Its oven can heat food to 170 degrees. The kitchen has water and sets of meals that come on plates. The astronauts choose their menu before they go into space. They take a lot of food with them. How do they keep the kitchen clean? They do not have to worry about mice or other rodents (啮齿动物). They make sure that there are no rodents before the ship leaves. But sometimes mice travel on the ship. Those mice are part of experiments. They live in cages. How do astronauts keep their plates clean? That is another health problem the astronauts solve. They need to stay healthy in space. To carry a lot of water to wash plates would be much heavier. They take wet wipes (纸巾) in bags. They use them to clean plates. Therefore, their kitchen is clean and they stay healthy. 13. What can we know about astronauts? A. They want to live far from the earth. B. They like to take care of themselves. C. They have to live in space for weeks. D.

To show us the ways to have healthy food in space. D. To introduce how astronauts solve their problems in space. 【答案】13. D 14. B 15. C 16.

I am a 13-year-old girl and for as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a pilot. I would spend hours watching the planes at the airport take off the runway. I love the feeling of packing my bags, traveling to some places that I have never explored (探索) before. I just love airplanes and flying. The idea to fly people around the world always makes me excited. I’m just not sure if it’s the right job for me. My dad says I need to make a quick decision because now is the right time to start training. It’s true. I want to start early. It sounds funny, but I want to be young and energetic when I’m flying a Qantas Boeing 737, or even an A380! I have so many questions about it—do you get paid well? I want to have a pretty good income (收入). I want to have a big family and house when I grow up. And it will need a lot of money. Is it fun? Is it safer than being a doctor or a teacher? Will I regret it? I hate regretting things I’ve done. Is it really hard? I’m also a girl, so will I be looked down upon? And I would also like to know, if I definitely (明确地) want to become a pilot, where and when should I start training if I want to start early? Thanks so much Captain! Regards, Mary Anne 41. What does Captain Lim do? ______________________________________________________________ 42. Why does Mary Anne want to be a pilot? ______________________________________________________________ 43.

Passage 4 In space, astronauts have to solve (解决) two problems: How to get food and how to keep their spaceship clean. They need to solve them in order to stay alive. They are in a spaceship far from the earth, and they need to take care of everything themselves. They need to be sure they have what they need to live there, because the astronauts may be in space for weeks. Here is how they solved the food problem. At first, the astronauts took tubes of semi-liquid (半流质的) food with them into space. They look like the toothpaste (牙膏) you use when you brush your teeth. The food did not taste great, but because astronauts did not need to take dishes with them, they had no dishes to wash. Today’s spaceships have a bigger menu. Astronauts can eat from bowls. In fact, they take cereal (谷类食物) and other foods with them. The foods are kept in a special way to stay fresh. They have a kitchen in the spaceship. Its oven can heat food to 170 degrees. The kitchen has water and sets of meals that come on plates. The astronauts choose their menu before they go into space. They take a lot of food with them. How do they keep the kitchen clean? They do not have to worry about mice or other rodents (啮齿动物). They make sure that there are no rodents before the ship leaves. But sometimes mice travel on the ship. Those mice are part of experiments. They live in cages. How do astronauts keep their plates clean? That is another health problem the astronauts solve. They need to stay healthy in space. To carry a lot of water to wash plates would be much heavier. They take wet wipes (纸巾) in bags. They use them to clean plates. Therefore, their kitchen is clean and they stay healthy. 13. What can we know about astronauts? A. They want to live far from the earth. B. They like to take care of themselves. C. They have to live in space for weeks. D. They need to keep the spaceship clean. 14. Which picture can best show the meaning of the underlined word “tube”? A. B. C. D. 15. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Astronauts need to grow their own food in space. B. Astronauts can not brush their teeth in the spaceship. C. Astronauts needn’t worry about mice or other animals in space. D. Astronauts use water to wash their plates in space. 16. What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To invite us to have a trip to the spaceship. B. To teach us how to keep our kitchen clean. C. To show us the ways to have healthy food in space. D To introduce how astronauts solve their problems in space. 第二节（共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Hobbies let you explore (探索) interests outside your line of work.

I am a 13-year-old girl and for as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a pilot. I would spend hours watching the planes at the airport take off the runway.
