Ⅰ.阅读理解
Do astronauts get space sick when they travel from Earth to the International Space Station (ISS)? Yes, astronauts can get space sick travelling to the ISS.It is less likely travelling in the cramped (拥挤的) Russian Soyuz spacecraft used to transport astronauts there now, than the old Space Shuttle that was used until 2011.The ability to move around in the Space Shuttle increased the chance of space sickness happening.
As you probably know, gravity is lower inside the ISS.The low gravity in space allows astronauts to float around, which looks like fun, but it can help cause space sickness.
Recent experiments show that space sickness is related to our inner ear.Two separate parts of the inner ear respond to sudden changes in direction.If you shake or move your head very quickly, you can get dizzy.However, this normally passes very quickly.This normal response is upset under low gravity: your inner ear thinks you are constantly moving.It takes some time to adapt to the new condition of weightlessness.It is made worse if you move your head while your body is still adapting.This is why previous astronauts travelling in the larger Space Shuttle were likely to suffer from space sickness more than the current astronauts travelling in the cramped Soyuz spacecraft.The astronauts were less likely to move their heads around very much in a narrow space.
Space sickness was not talked about in the early space missions (任务).The original Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were, like the current Soyuz, cramped.The astronauts were less likely to get sick, so space sickness no longer became a concern of NASA.
In 1983 the first detailed study was carried out aboard a Space Shuttle flight (STS7) by astronautdoctor Norm Thagard.His and all later studies were hampered by the astronauts themselves.None of them wanted to admit being space sick.They were worried that mission control might remove them from space walking opportunities, or even worse, that they might not get included on later space missions.
1.What was the problem with the Space Shuttle?
A.It was too slow.
B.It was too small.
C.It broke down often.
D.It had too much space.
2.How does low gravity hurt astronauts?
A.It fools their inner ear.
B.It causes pain in their head.
C.It stops them shaking their head.
D.It prevents them measuring their weight.
3.Why wasn't NASA worried about space sickness until later missions?
A.The condition had been kept secret to the public.
B.There were few detailed studies on it.
C.The old spacecraft were better equipped.
D.The astronauts were less likely to get sick.
4.What does the underlined word “hampered” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Changed. B.Improved.
C.Blocked. D.Compared.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。宇航员会得太空病吗?文章介绍了会造成太空病的原因。
1.D [细节理解题。根据第一段中的It is less likely travelling in the cramped Russian Soyuz spacecraft used to transport astronauts there now, than the old Space Shuttle that was used until 2011.The ability to move around in the Space Shuttle increased the chance of space sickness happening.可知,先前使用的太空飞船空间太大,增加了宇航员得太空病的几率。故选D项。]
2.A [推理判断题。根据第三段中的This normal response is upset under low gravity: your inner ear thinks you are constantly moving.It takes some time to adapt to the new condition of weightlessness.It is made worse if you move your head while your body is still adapting.可知,在太空低重力的环境中,内耳应对突然改变的方向的能力受到了干扰,会将宇航员漂浮的状态视作对方在不断移动,进而造成宇航员的晕眩,如果宇航员摇头,晕眩会加剧。故选A项。]
3.D [推理判断题。根据第四段中的The original Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were, like the current Soyuz, cramped.The astronauts were less likely to get sick, so space sickness no longer became a concern of NASA.可知,先前使用的“水星”号飞船和“双子星座”号飞船与现在使用的“联盟”号飞船的空间一样狭窄,所以宇航员不易得太空病。再结合第一段中的It is less likely travelling in the cramped Russian Soyuz spacecraft used to transport astronauts there now可知,若飞船空间狭小,则宇航员不易得太空病,这也是为什么美国国家航空航天局之前未将太空病视作忧患的原因。故选D项。]
4.C [词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句后的None of them wanted to admit being space sick.They were worried that mission control might remove them from space walking opportunities, or even worse, that they might not get included on later space missions.可知,宇航员们不愿意承认自己曾遭受太空病的侵扰,担心这会影响自己的职业生涯,这妨碍了对太空病的研究。由此推知,划线词hampered意为“阻碍,妨碍”。故选C项。]
Ⅱ.语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Throughout history, mankind has been working hard on the space ___1___ (explore) to learn more about the universe though it was thought ___2___ (possible) before the mid20th century.However, so many scientists were ___3___ (determine) to make the human dream to explore space ___4___ (realize).With the first satellite launched and orbiting around Earth ___5___(success), Yuri became the first astronaut ___6___ (send) into space in 1961.After that, American astronaut Neil Armstrong succeeded in stepping onto the moon.Although the failure of Challenger was ___7___ (disappoint), human beings went on with their desire to explore the universe, the International Space Station being the best example.
___8___ (follow) Russia and America, China became the third country in the world to send humans into space ___9___ (independent) in 2003, ___10___ Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth.From then on, China has made great progress in space exploration.Shenzhou 6 and 7 were sent into space, the Tiangong 2 docked with Tianzhou 1, and Chang'e 4 landed on the moon.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类探索宇宙的几个具有历史意义的重大事件。
1.exploration [考查名词。句意:纵观历史,人类一直致力于太空探索,以了解更多关于宇宙的知识,尽管这在20世纪中期之前被认为是不可能的。分析句子结构可知,设空处应填名词作介词on的宾语,故填exploration。]
2.impossible [考查形容词。句意:同上。结合句意“尽管在20世纪中期前它被认为是不可能的”可知,此处应填形容词,作为主语补足语,impossible“不可能的”,故填impossible。]
3.determined [考查固定短语。句意:然而,如此多的科学家决心使人类探索太空的梦想实现。此处考查短语be determined to do sth.“决心做某事”,故填determined。]
4.realized [考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,此处realize与the human dream之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此应该用过去分词realized作宾补,故填realized。]
5.successfully [考查副词。句意:随着第一颗卫星成功发射并绕地球运行,尤里在1961年成为第一位被送入太空的宇航员。此处应填副词作状语,修饰动词,故填successfully。]
6.to be sent [考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。结合句意并分析句子结构可知,此处考查“序数词+名词+不定式”的结构,其中不定式是名词的后置定语,且astronaut和send之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用不定式的被动形式,即to be done,故填to be sent。]
7.disappointing [考查形容词。句意:虽然挑战者号的失败是令人失望的,人类继续他们探索宇宙的愿望,国际空间站是最好的例子。此处应填形容词作表语,主语是名词failure,应用ing形式的形容词,故填disappointing。]
8.Following [考查非谓语动词。句意:继俄罗斯和美国之后,2003年杨利伟成功绕地球轨道飞行,中国成为世界上第三个独立载人进入太空的国家。分析句子结构可知,此处应填非谓语动词,China和follow是逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词作状语,故填Following。]
9.independently [考查副词。句意:同上。此处应填副词来修饰动词send,故填independently。]
10.when [考查定语从句。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词,先行词2003,在从句“...Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth.”中充当时间状语,用关系副词,故填when。]
Ⅲ.写作
假设你是红星中学学生会主席李华。你了解到国际部学生对首次乘天宫Ⅱ号做太空探索的宇航员陈东很感兴趣,因此你邀请了陈东近期到你校做一次演讲。请你用英文给国际部的学生写一封邮件并发到班级公邮,向同学们告知此事。内容包括:
1.事由;
2.告知演讲的相关信息(例如:时间、地点等);
3.欢迎参加。
注意:1.词数80左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。

As scheduled, the activity will be held in our school hall on December 12th.It will start from 14:30 and last for 2 hours.The lecture is supposed to be a great source of encouragement to you, which surely won't make you disappointed.So it's really something you can't miss.
