Question

【题目】 Attitude towards Space Trip

Do you want to spend a 10-day visit at the International Space Station? We have interviewed teenagers from around the world. They have different opinions about space trip.

Simon from England “There are so many beautiful places to see on the earth. I'd like to visit these places first before spending lots of money going into space. I think it should be cheap enough for everyone to go, not just the rich and famous.”

Ben from Canada “I think space travel is really bad for the space environment. We are sending more objects into space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk floating around. It's very dangerous for the tourists to travel in spaceship! ”

Maria from Germany “Whether you like it or not, space trip is going to be an important thing in the future. It's a great idea to travel in space. I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be common. I'd really love to do it.”

Yoko from Japan “Why do we want to travel into space? I'd rather go on holiday and stay in a hotel. It must be very boring to sit for hours in that small space shuttle（舱）. I'd like to take a plane and go to another place on the earth.”

本文讲述了4位来自世界各地的青少年对太空旅行的看法。来自英国的西蒙，他觉得先去地球上美丽的地方，然后去太空；来自加拿大的本，他觉得保护太空环境比较重要；来自德国的玛丽亚觉得非常期待太空旅行；来自日本的Yoko，觉得太空旅行很无聊；

【1】细节理解题。根据“I'd like to visit these places first before spending lots of money going into space”我想先去这些地方，然后花很多钱去太空，所以他觉得去外太空很贵，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“…We are sending more objects into space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk floating around”它们会变成更小的碎片,变成漂浮在太空中的垃圾，所以保护太空环境是重要的，故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据“Maria from Germany”这一段中“I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be common. I'd really love to do it”我希望在50年的时间里，在太空度假是很常见的。我真的很喜欢做这件事，所以是Maria，故选C。
