Section Ⅰ　“Reading”的课文习读环节 [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The Next 500 Years — Engineering Life to Reach New Worlds ￥203.00 Hardback： 256 pages　Published： 20/04/2021 Availability：In Stock DESCRIPTION Certainly, life on Earth will come to an end, whether because of climate disaster, world wars, or the death of the sun in a few billion years.To avoid dying out, we will have to find a new home planet, perhaps even a new solar system, to live on. In this challenging and interesting book，Christopher Mason argues that we have a duty to do just that.We have a responsibility to act — not only for us human beings but for all other creatures on which we depend. Mason argues that our technology that has enabled us to build rockets and land on other planets can be applied to redesigning biology so that we can live on those planets.And he makes a 500－year plan for carrying out the huge project. As they are today, our weak human bodies could never survive travel to another planet.Mason describes the bad effects that long－term space travel had on astronaut Scott Kelly, who returned from a year on the International Space Station with changes to his blood, bones, and genes (基因)． Mason suggests a ten－period, 500－year program that would engineer our body so that humans can stand the extreme environments of outer space — with the final goal of achieving human settlement of new solar systems.He makes a road map of which solar systems to visit first, and uses biotechnology and genetics to offer a unique vision of the universe to come.

Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel.So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind. “I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search，” Smeeton said.“She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.” “My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world，” Dobek says. Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in.It also includes the SGF or Self－Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars. Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design.A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment.Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes. “I want to tell other kids to follow their passions，” Dobek said.“Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小学生Emilia Dobek设计火星太空站，并赢得挑战的故事。 4．Dobek first became interested in space when ________. A．she was still a seventh grader B．she studied at a junior high school C．she lived on the top of their house D．she watched an eclipse of the moon 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，Dobek对太空感兴趣是从她在三年级时的一个晚上观看一次月食开始的。 5．Why did Smeeton recommend that Dobek take the challenge? A．She knew Dobek liked challenges in life. B．She had no other students interested in Mars. C．Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts. D．She was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段中Smeeton说的话可推知，她对Dobek很了解，对其可以接受这项挑战并能出色完成任务充满信心。 6．What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station? A．The environment on Mars. B．The safety of the supplies. C．The activities for astronauts. D．The comfort of the astronauts. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“make sure their comfort is out of this world”并结合倒数第二段的内容可推知，Dobek的设计包含身体和休闲活动，让宇航员在太空中也感到舒适。 7．What is the best title for this text? A．New Space Station Design B．Leisure Activities for Astronauts C．7th－grader Won National Prize D．Patient Teacher Motivated Innovation 解析：选C　标题归纳题。根据全文内容特别是第二段可知，本文讲述了七年级学生Dobek设计前往火星的空间站，赢得国家探索教育“超越挑战”奖的故事。故C项“七年级学生获得国家奖”适合作文章标题。 C What does it take to become an astronaut? It's a question that's been asked since the start of the Space Age in the 1960s.In those days, pilots were considered the most well－trained professionals, so military fliers were first in line to go to space.More recently, people from a wide range of professional backgrounds — doctors, scientists, and even teachers — have trained to live and work in near－Earth orbit.Even so, those selected to go to space must meet high standards. People who want to become astronauts must be in top physical condition.Each country's space program has health requirements for its space travelers.They usually assess a candidate's fitness to withstand some pretty tough conditions.For example, a good candidate must have the ability to endure the rigors of lift－off and to function in weightlessness.All astronauts must have good visual acuity (视敏度) and normal blood pressure.Beyond that, there is no age limit.Most astronaut trainees are between the ages of 25 and 46, although older people have also flown to space later in their careers. People who go to space are usually self－confident, risk－takers, adept at stress management and multitasking.They also need to be able to work as part of a team for any given assignment.On Earth, astronauts are usually required to perform various public relations duties, such as speaking to the public, working with other professionals, and sometimes even testifying before government officials.So, astronauts who can relate well to many different kinds of people are seen as valuable team members. Often, astronauts have a background as scientists and many have high－level degrees, like PhDs.Others have military training or space industry expertise.Regardless of their background, once an astronaut is accepted into a country's space program, he or she goes through rigorous training to actually live and work in space. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了成为一名宇航员需要具备的条件。 8．Which of the following is of least importance to an astronaut? A．Normal blood pressure.　　 B．Good eyesight. C．Tough body. D．Young age. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Beyond that, there is no age limit.”可知，相比其他条件，年龄对于宇航员是最不重要的。 9．According to the text, who is likely to be an astronaut? A．One who is strong and healthy. B．One who has self－confidence. C．One who can work under great pressure. D．All of the above. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段前三句可知，宇航员需要健康和强壮的身体；根据第三段中“People who go to space are usually self－confident, risk－takers, adept at stress management and multitasking.”可知，宇航员要充满自信且能承受高压；综合以上信息，故选D项。 10．Why are astronauts asked to perform public duties? A．To make them famous among people. B．To relieve their feeling of tension. C．To raise their awareness of teamwork. D．To promote public interest in the aerospace. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中“They also need to be able to work ...seen as valuable team members.”可知，宇航员被要求履行公共职责是为了锻炼他们的团队合作能力，提高他们的团队合作意识，使他们成为团队中有价值的成员。 11．What could be the best title for the text? A．Everyone Can Be an Astronaut B．The Professional Qualities of an Astronaut C．Training Astronauts Is Much Easier Nowadays D．It's Not Mysterious to Be an Astronaut 解析：选B　标题归纳题。文章第一句“What does it take to become an astronaut？”以设问的方式引起下文，是文章的主旨句，接下来具体分析了成为一名宇航员需要具备的专业素质，包括身体素质、心理素质、专业知识等。故B项“宇航员的职业素质”概括了文章内容，适合作为标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts.However，the hard reality is that only a select few will make it.__12__Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts, and they all sound just as cool.One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer (嗅探员)”．NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spacecraft. __13__A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it.“Once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells，” said Aldrich.More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts' health. Another job, the “space tour guide”， may seem a little ahead of its time — after all, what's the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren't any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips.__14__ Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey.__15__ Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist” is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely. Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research, said, “__16__ Things we've seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities.” A．But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space? B．Modern astronauts feel less helpless when working as a group. C．It is impossible that normal people will be able to be a space travel. D．It may not be long before space becomes a top travel destination. E．Tour guides also need to be good storytellers to help space travel. F．We're crossing the boundaries between science fiction and reality. G．Using your nose at work sounds a little strange, but the job is very important. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三种除了宇航员之外的航空工作岗位。 12．选A　上文提到，成为宇航员很困难。再结合下文的“Not necessarily.”可知，空处应是一个问题。故A项“但这是否意味着你永远没有机会在太空工作？”承上启下，符合语境。 13．选G　下文提到，宇宙飞船体积有限，温度也相对较高，这使得飞船内部的气味更强烈。G项“在工作中运用你的鼻子可能听起来有点奇怪，但实际上这项工作是非常重要的”指出嗅探师这个工作岗位很重要，下文是对这一重要性的解读。 14．选D　上文提到，太空旅行越来越盛行。故D项“也许不久太空就会成为一个顶级旅游目的地”承接上文，符合语境。 15．选E　根据上文可知，本段介绍的是成为一名太空导游的高要求。E项“导游还需要能够讲好故事，以帮助太空旅行”与上文一致，也是在阐述对这一工作岗位的要求。 16．选F　根据下文可知，科学家们正致力于让科幻小说中的情节变为现实。故F项“我们正在跨越科幻小说和现实之间的边界”衔接下文，符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
