So, of course, people need some time to get used to it. How do they eat, sleep and have fun there? Eating Space food is more like the food we eat here on Earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only small pieces of dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens (微波炉) and fridges. So astronauts can eat more everyday food, like fruit, vegetables and ice cream. Sleeping All the people in the ISS (国际太空站) have their own rooms. There’s no gravity, so they have to tie themselves to their beds, or they’ll float away! That seems like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say that sleeping in space is really not too bad. Having fun What do astronauts do when they aren’t working? They read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mails to their friends and family. Sometimes they just sit and look out of the window. Doesn’t that sound fun? But is it much funnier if you could see the Earth out of your window with a sunset or sunrise 45 minutes? 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 41.

Astronauts can’t eat everyday food in space. B. You can get your own room when you are in the ISS. C. Astronauts can’t keep in touch with their friends in space. 45. What is the purpose (目的) of the passage? A. To tell us what the ISS is. B. To tell us how to live a good life. C. To tell us how astronauts live in space. 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. B 45.

At the friend’s home, her friend took out a square box and said, “I asked someone to buy the tea from China. It’s said that there are five tastes.” Then, her friend opened the box slowly, took out a spoon of tea carefully, put it into a teapot (茶壶) gingerly, and then poured in boiled water softly. Only one minute later, the friend poured out a cup of tea and asked Gina to taste it. Gina drank it but nearly puked (吐) it out. She shouted, “Is this tea? It tastes like medicine!” The friend just smiled. She re-poured boiled water into the teapot. After a minute, the friend poured out another cup and asked Gina to try the second one. Gina took a drink and found it was not as terrible as the first one but still bitter (苦的). This time she didn’t shout. When Gina drank the fifth cup, a sunny smile shone on her face. She said, “It tastes good! I’ve never tasted such a wonderful flavor (味道).” The friend said, “Life is just like this! Only when we taste it patiently can we feel happy.” 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 36.

How do they eat, sleep and have fun there? Eating Space food is more like the food we eat here on Earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only small pieces of dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens (微波炉) and fridges. So astronauts can eat more everyday food, like fruit, vegetables and ice cream. Sleeping All the people in the ISS (国际太空站) have their own rooms. There’s no gravity, so they have to tie themselves to their beds, or they’ll float away! That seems like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say that sleeping in space is really not too bad. Having fun What do astronauts do when they aren’t working? They read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mails to their friends and family. Sometimes they just sit and look out of the window. Doesn’t that sound fun? But is it much funnier if you could see the Earth out of your window with a sunset or sunrise 45 minutes? 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 41. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to (指的是)？ A. Life in space. B. Life on earth. C. The space. 42. Why do astronauts tie themselves to beds during their sleep? A. Because they would fall out of the ISS. B. Because they may float away. C. Because they like this special way of sleep. 43. How does the writer think of sitting and looking out of the window in the spaceship? A. Terrible. B. Sad. C. Interesting. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. Astronauts can’t eat everyday food in space. B. You can get your own room when you are in the ISS. C. Astronauts can’t keep in touch with their friends in space. 45. What is the purpose (目的) of the passage? A To tell us what the ISS is. B. To tell us how to live a good life. C.
