Today, he is a student at Florida International University (FIU) studying sharks and has made his first appearance(出现) on National Geographic􀆳s SharkFest, a TV play that offers four weeks of programming about the lives of sharks. Strickland, in his 20s, lived in Florida and loved going to the beach and aquarium. He went to a special high school with an oceanic science programme where he also played footbal. At FIU, he was able to continue with both of those strong hobbies. He was captain of the footbal team and studied oceanic biology. Now he is at FIU studying for his doctorate(博 士学位) in shark environmental science. His opportunity(机 会) to appear on SharkFest came about because he is part of a research team led by Mike Heithaus that studies the actions of the hammerhead and bul sharks off the beach of Florida. The SharkFest episode Strickland is in is named “Bul Shark vs. Hammerhead”. He is shown adding tags to bul sharks to folow their movement in the ocean. At first, Strickland didn􀆳t know he would be in the episode. “I was super excited to be in the show,” he told reporters. Thinking back of his years of playing footbal while studying to become a scientist, Strickland said he got much from balancing (平衡) the two hobbies. In footbal, he picked up on “how to operate as a team and pay attention to facts”. Those skils carry over into studying. He said, “You􀆳re just using them differently.” (素材来源: The Week Junior USA) 1. 创新考法·组合选择 What do you know about Davon Strickland? ① He was interested in shows about sharks. ② He has taken part in a TV play about sharks. ③ He is teaching students something about sharks. ④ He wil leave the university to become an actor.

Fifty-five years later, humans are stil discovering space. 1 It has landed a spacecraft on the far side of the Moon and even taken fish to the Chinese space station to see how they get used to space. How do you become an astronaut? Lots of people want to be astronauts. In Europe, more than 22,000 people applied to join European Space Agency􀆳s astronaut corps. There are a few requirements(需求) that people must meet to become an astronaut. 2 It􀆳s also helpful if, as wel as speaking fluent English, they can speak a bit of Russian. This is because both English and Russian are used on the International Space Station(ISS) where, at the moment, most astronauts go to work. Astronauts usualy have a university degree (学位) in a science subject such as biology, chemistry, engineering, maths, medicine or physics. 3 Astronauts go through lots of training before their first trip to space. In fact, they􀆳l train for three to four years. New members wil learn al about space technology, medical skils and how the ISS works. America has a ful size model of the ISS where its astronauts can train. New members also have to get used to the feeling of weightlessness. There is very little gravity(重力) in space, so astronauts float(飘浮) around in spacecraft or on stations like Mir and the ISS. Astronauts on the ISS usualy spend between six months and a year in space, but the longest time someone has spent in space continuously is over 300 days. Astronauts prepare for these trips by going on special aircraft flights(飞 行) that recreate weightlessness. 4 So they can get used to it. These low-gravity conditions can also be recreated underwater, so new members often work in special pools. What is life like in space? Astronauts have lots to do when they􀆳re in space. They need to carry out scientific experiments and maintain the spacecraft that they􀆳re flying in. Being in space can have some bad influence on the human body, so astronauts must exercise for two hours a day to make sure they stay fit and healthy. In the next few years, space agencies plan to send humans to the Moon. 5 (素材来源: The Week Junior UK) 根据短文内容,从方框中选出能填入空白处 的最佳选项,选项中有两项是多余的。 A. How do astronauts prepare? B.
