A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human history.Mars is about 225 million kilometres away,so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there.However,it only takes a few days to get to the moon. Space travel has danger and it takes a lot more health risks to travel in space for a long time.For one thing,staying in space for long periods makes human body weak.Also,it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. Then there's space radiation (to worry about.It might raise the risk of health problems, especially for astronauts who have long journeys.Scientists are working out the problems.They have found taking certain vitamins(维生素)can help,. Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the Earth.But they won't be able to get things they need like astronauts on the space station do.Astronauts on the space station practice for this by growing vegetables and other food in space.Engineers are developing 3-D printing skills which could allow future Mars astronauts to build tools as needed. 41.Why do some countries want to send astronauts to Mars? 42.How long would it take astronauts to reach Mars? 43.Please list two health risks of staying in space for a long time. 44.Do you want to travel in space in the future?Why or why not?Write 30 words or more. ·63· 得分评卷人 V.书面表达（满分20分） 45. 假如你是李华，你校英文报The Unknown World栏目向全校学生征稿，请你根据下面的提 示，以“My Favourite Space Hero”为题，写一篇介绍航天员刘洋的稿件。要点如下： 个人信息 1.刘洋1978年10月出生于河南，1997年8月入伍； 2.2012年6月15日，刘洋作为中国首名女航天员，与景海鹏、刘旺乘坐神舟九号飞船进入太 经历与 空，在太空停留了13天； 贡献 3.2022年6月5日，刘洋与陈冬、蔡旭哲乘坐神舟十四号飞船进入太空，将在太空停留180天； 你的感受 要求：1.须包含所有提示信息，语言通顺，行文连贯，内容充实； 2.词数：80词左右（开头已给出，不计入总词数）。 参考词汇：join the army入伍，female astronaut女航天员，Shenzhou-9 spacecraft神舟九号飞船 My Favourite Space Hero Chinese astronauts have made great contributions to our country's space industry.They are our heroes.Now I'd like to introduce my favourite space hero Liu Yang. .64raise people's awareness of protecting endangered giraffes.
