Many countries worked together to build different sections of the station. One section, called the Service Module, was built by Russia and sent into space in 2000. It was the third module of the station and the first living space for astronauts. It not only provides key support such as air, water, power, but also helps to control the ISS's position. It's important for space exploration, letting scientists study long­term space living and preparing for missions to the moon and Mars. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 (A)1.What do astronauts sleep closest to according to the material?

Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars. It would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey to Mars might only take about 20 minutes in a spacecraft that travels at the speed of light. However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can't live without water, air or food. But so far, nobody knows whether there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be in the form of pills(药片)and would not be tasty. Compared with life on Earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do a lot of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would study at online schools with “e­teachers”． Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging. However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—Earth! 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 (A)6.People would move to Mars because . A．the earth is crowded and polluted B．they want to challenge themselves C．flying to Mars would be fun D．plants could grow better there (C)7.What challenges might people face living on Mars? ①People might have food in the form of pills(药片). ②Mums don't have to do much housework. ③Children could have bigger bedrooms of their own. ④People might get sick travelling in the future spacecraft. ⑤Specially made clothes have to be worn while floating. ⑥Students might be able to have e­classes just at home. A．①②③ B．②③⑥ C．①④⑤ D．④⑤⑥ (B)8.What would the flight to Mars be like by the year 2100? A．Fast and enjoyable. B．Fast but uncomfortable. C．Slow and boring. D．Slow but comfortable. (D)9.What can we learn from the passage? A．There would be enough water and air on Mars for people. B．Food on Mars would be more delicious than that on Earth. C．People would be busy with work on Mars. D．The writer thinks living on Mars would be full of challenges. (C)10.What's the best title for the passage? A．Schools on Mars B．Food on Mars C．Life on Mars D．Environment on the Earth C 11．C There are two big reasons. First, it costs a lot of money to send food from Earth to space. Growing food in space can save money. Second, fresh food makes astronauts feel happy and healthy. When they eat fresh vegetables, they work better and miss home less. 12．D They use special small boxes called “space gardens”. These boxes have LED lights that look like sunlight. They also have water with important vitamins and minerals. Astronauts don't use soil—they use a special cloth that holds water and nutrients. This way, plants can grow without gravity pulling them down. 13．A What do astronauts grow in space? They grow many kinds of vegetables, like lettuce, carrots and tomatoes. They also grow herbs like basil(罗勒)and mint. In 2026, astronauts on the ISS grew their first space strawberries! The strawberries were small but very sweet. Astronauts shared photos of the strawberries with people all over the world. 14．E How does space food help astronauts? Fresh vegetables give astronauts important vitamins that they can't get from dried food. When astronauts eat fresh food, they feel more energetic. They also learn new skills by growing food in space. This helps them solve problems on the space station. 15．B What's the future of space gardens? Astronauts hope to grow more kinds of food in space, like potatoes and rice. They also want to grow enough food to feed all the astronauts on the ISS. By 2030, they hope to grow 80% of their own food in space. This will make long space trips to Mars possible. (a)根据短文内容，从方框中选出主旨大意，其中有一个选项是多余的。 A．The kinds of food astronauts grow in space. B．The future plans for space gardens. C．Why astronauts grow food in space? D．How astronauts grow food in space?
