A company called Space Perspective is planning to use its new balloon, called Spaceship Neptune, to take tourists on a trip to the edge (边缘) of space. Although the balloon won’t completely enter space, this won’t matter much to the tourists. That’s because at 20 miles above the earth, they will feel like they’re in space. The balloon uses hydrogen (氢气). Hydrogen is lighter than the air so the balloon can go up. The balloon can come to a stop about 20 miles above the earth, because here the air is no longer heavier than the hydrogen inside the balloon. The company has tested Neptune without tourists and will take its first paying clients in 2024. Of course, the tickets are expensıve. The trip will take up to eight tourists two hours to travel up there, two hours to enjoy the stay and two hours to travel back. The five-metre-wide tourists’ room is below the balloon. It has special windows and they can stop tourists getting too hot from the sunlight. The tourists will be able to enjoy food and drinks there while enjoying the trip. Space Perspective says its balloon is environmentally friendly. Jane Poynter, who set up Space Perspective, says the company is trying to make more common people reach space, not just highly trained astronauts. 26. Why does the balloon come to a stop about 20 miles above the earth? A. Because it is too hot there. B. Because it is best to enjoy the earth there. C. Because the hydrogen can get into the air there. D. Because the hydrogen inside the balloon can only take it there. 27. What does the underlined word “clients” probably mean? A. Customers. B. Gentlemen. C. Astronauts. D. Strangers 28.

On the first day, we visited the famous West Lake. We took a boat ride and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The next day, we went to Lingyin Temple, a historic Buddhist temple. On the last day, we explored the tea plantations in Longjing Village. We learned about the tea-making process and even got to taste some fresh tea. This trip was not only fun but also educational. I learned a lot about the history and culture of Hangzhou. I hope to visit Hangzhou again in the future. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
