题组53

Ⅰ　阅读

(2025·贵州省部分学校高三联考)Wang Haoze, a crew member of the Shenzhou XIX mission and China's first female spaceflight engineer, studied energy and power engineering at Southeast University before receiving a bachelor's degree in 2012 and then continued to take part in a three­year postgraduate program in thermal engineering at the same school. Before her graduation, Wang submitted her resume to the Beijing Aerospace Propulsion Institute.

At the institute, Wang was part of the research and development of new models of rocket engines, a new field that she had never been involved in. Faced with new challenges and knowledge, she enjoyed learning and overcoming difficulties, which appeared as an intriguing game to her. Hard work and perseverance always pay off. She gradually became the backbone of her team. Three years after working on rocket engines, she was told by human resources colleagues that the country would recruit the third generation of astronauts.

Wang and 17 male candidates were selected and divided into three groups: seven spacecraft pilots, another seven spaceflight engineers and four mission payload specialists.

At the Astronaut Center of China, Wang has faced grueling challenges. She has spent tough times with teammates in survival drills in deserts and at sea, and has endured a 72­hour sleepless test. Despite the difficulties, she said she has never considered quitting.

Looking into her first orbital journey, the astronaut said: “I want to float inside Tiangong to experience the excitement of weightlessness. I also hope that I can complete each and every task successfully and make our ‘space home’ better.”
