Building the International Space Station is the same. The difference is that the workers are astronauts. They walk in space and use robots’ arms and hands to do the work. In the space station, astronauts are comfortable. The temperature there is about 21℃. But outside of the station, it can be too hot or cold for people. In the sunlight, it’s about 120℃. In the shadow (暗处) of the station, it’s about -85℃. So when astronauts walk in space, they have to wear heavy clothes—spacesuits. These suits also keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish in space. Each time people go into space, they leave rubbish there. So astronauts should be careful because there’s a lot of rubbish, and some rubbish goes many times as fast as a plane! Space walking is not easy, and it can be dangerous. So getting ready for it takes a lot of time to learn. Astronauts will need to do 160 space walks to finish their work in the space station. That will take about 1,900 man-hour work. 36. How do the astronauts build the space station? A. With scientists’ hands. B. With some machines. C. With robots’ arms and hands. D. With workers’ hands. 37. What’s the temperature in space station? A. About 21℃. B. About 120℃. C. About -85℃. D. We don’t know. 38. Why do astronauts need to wear spacesuits when walking in space? ①To keep astronauts from too hot or cold temperature. ②To help astronauts flying in space. ③To keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish in space. ④To help astronauts take food with them. A. ①② B. ②④ C. ①③ D. ③④ 39. How do astronauts feel about space walking according to the passage? A. It is easy and safe. B. It is difficult but safe. C. It is easy but dangerous. D. It is difficult and dangerous. 40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. In the shadow of the station, the temperature is about 85℃. B. Astronauts can wear their own clothes to walk in space. C. Rubbish cannot fly as fast as a plane in space. D. Astronauts need to do 160 space walks to finish their work. (D) Each country has its national flag. Usually there is a story behind each national flag. The national flag of the United Kingdom has an interesting story, too. Do you want to know the interesting story? Just read on. The UK has four parts. They are England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The four parts have their own flags and the flags are all different. When Wales became part of England in 1542, the flag of England was the one used. Nothing was changed. However, in 1603, when Scotland joined England to form (组成) a new country, the two national flags were put together to form a new flag. The last member, Ireland, joined the kingdom in 1801. In that year, the new flag appeared. That is the flag we see today. In 1992, however, parts of Ireland left the kingdom to become a new country. It also started to use its own flag. 根据短文内容，判断句子正 (T) 误 (F)。 41. The UK has five parts. 42. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland don’t have their own flags. 43. Wales became part of England in 1542. 44. Scotland joined England in 1630. 45. The new flag appeared in 1801. (E) Sometimes it seems impossible to get along with your parents. 46 If you are having problems with your parents right now, try to understand them. Make time with your parents. Your parents won't always be around, so spend time with them while you are able to. This doesn't mean just sitting in front of the TV together. Instead, find activities to do together. 47 .It will keep things light and hopefully tension(紧张) free. 48 To understand your parents better, you have to spend time having a conversation with them. Use this time to learn about their different hobbies and opinions. For example, you can ask them to tell you about their own childhood. You can also ask them how they felt when they found out they were going to have you. Listen to them actively. This may seem easy, but it is often harder than you think. When you are communicating(交流) with your parents, make sure you are listening. 49 And you should speak politely when responding(回应) Make your parents feel proud. There are many, many ways that you can impress your parents. Try your best. 50 They can begin to discuss things with you less as a child and more as a young adult. And you'll get on better. 阅读短文， 把A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 A. This means looking at them when they are talking. B. In doing this, you will learn more about your parents. C.
