Ⅰ 阅读
Many people dream of traveling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA.
Muscle and bone loss
In a weightless environment, astronauts don't need to use their muscles to support themselves, so the muscles start shrinking. To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the International Space Station.
课时作业(三)
Sleep disorder
In space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this lightdark cycle when they sleep. Now they have individual sleeping pods (分离舱) that help shut out some of the light. Sill, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.
课时作业(三)
Brain Change
Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during space flight. It can influence how we see, stay balanced and move around. That's why some astronauts can't control their movement and balance after returning to the Earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more space flights. But more research is still needed.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在太空度过太多时间可能会导致的健康问题。
课时作业(三)
1.What does the underlined word “shrinking” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Becoming longer. B.Becoming thicker.
C.Becoming weaker. D.Becoming stronger.

课时作业(三)
3.What might the scientists research about next according to the last paragraph?
A.Space brain change. B.Space exercise.
C.Weightless environment. D.Lightdark cycle.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句“Scientists have found ... and move around.(科学家发现,在太空飞行过程中,大脑的位置会发生变化。它可以影响我们如何看事物、保持平衡和行动。)”和第四句“Scientists have also ... is still needed.(科学家还发现,宇航员在进行更多的太空飞行后,可能会习惯这种变化。但仍需要更多的研究。)”可推知,科学家们下一步可能研究太空大脑变化的问题。故选A。
课时作业(三)
