【解析】

本文是新闻报道。报道了美国宇航员Christina Koch 和Jessica Meir走出国际空间站。这是历史上第一次两位女性一起进行的 太空行走。

【1】

考查时态。句意：这是历史上第一次两位女性一起进行太空行走。句型 It was the first time that …. 意思为“那是第几次做……”，that从句需用过去完成时。故填had done。

【2】

考查不定式。句意：Koch 和Meir预计将在空间站外花5个多小时更换失效的电源控制器。短语expect sb. to do… “期待/预计某人做……”，此处是被动形式（sb.）be expected to do …，后接不定式作主语补足语。故填to spend。

【3】

考查副词。句意：这次对话标志着第一次现任的总统直接与在太空中宇宙飞船外的宇航员谈话。修饰谓语动词spoke，应用副词形式。故填directly。

【4】

考查现在分词作状语。句意：总统也对这两名宇航员表示了祝贺，说他们在空间站服务，是非常勇敢的人。句子主语the president和say之间为逻辑上的主动关系，此处用现在分词作状语，表示补充说明。故填saying。

【5】

考查固定短语。句意：Meir告诉总统，她和她的同事都把太空行走视为他们的工作。根据句意，此处是短语as well as，连接并列的主语，意思为“也，不仅……而且……”。故填as。

【6】

考查可数名词单复数。句意：他们遇到了许多困难，但最后还是成功了。difficulty是可数名词，前面有many，应用复数形式。故填difficulties。

【7】

考查固定短语。句意：她们遇到了许多困难，但最后还是成功了。根据句意，此处是短语in the end，意思为“最后，最终”。故填the。

【8】

考查形容词。句意：她们认识到这是一项很有意义的成就。修饰名词achievement，应用形容词形式。mean是动词，形容词为meaningful，意思为“有意义的”。故填meaningful。

【9】

考查从属连词。句意：梅尔说，有众多的女性科学家、探险家、工程师和宇航员，她们追随她们的脚步，把她们带到现在的位置。分析句子结构，“____they were”在句中是地点状语；根据句意，用where引导，意思为“……地方”。故填where。

【10】

考查名词。句意：Meir和Koch希望他们所做的能够鼓励每个人，而不仅仅是女性。在谓语动词give后应该是名词作宾语；encourage是动词，名词为encouragement。故填encouragement。
