As you may expect, life in space is much different from life on earth. So of course people need some time to get used to it. How do they live, work and play up there?

  Space food keeps getting more like the food we eat at home on the earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens and fridges. So astronauts can eat more usual kinds of food, like fruit, vegetables and ice cream!

  All people in the ISS(国际空间站)have their own rooms. There’s no gravity, so they have to attach themselves to their beds, or they’ll float away! That may seem like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say that sleeping in space is actually not too bad.

  This is more important in space than on Earth. There’s not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscles don’t have to work much. They exercise on bikes and other machines for about two hours every day while they’re in space. In this way, they can still keep strong and healthy when they get back home.

  Easy things like brushing your teeth can be hard in space with low gravity. Water doesn’t flow out of a tap, it floats in a bubble(水泡)! Astronauts used a special hose(软管)to take showers. And when they’re finished, they use a vacuum(真空的)hose to suck the dirty water off of their bodies. How do you go to the toilet in space? They use a special “air toilet”. It uses air, not water, to take everything away.

  What do astronauts do when they aren’t working? They read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mail to their friends and family. Sometimes they just sit and look out the window. Doesn’t sound like much fun? But what if you could see planet Earth out of your window, with a sunset or sunrise every 45 minutes?

1. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?

  A. Life In Space.  B. Space Food.    C. Showers In Space. D. A Visit To Space

2.From this passage we know that _______.

  A. astronauts eat quite different food in space from what they eat on the earth

  B. astronauts ate only fruit in space in the past

  C. astronauts can only eat freeze-dried food now

  D. astronauts can only eat fruit and vegetables now

3.Astronauts attach themselves to bed so as to ________.

  A. keep themselves warm        B. prevent themselves from floating away

  C. have a good sleep          D. feel better

4.Astronauts have to do exercise for two hours every day because ________.

  A. they have nothing to do in space      B. they are told to do so

  C. they do so to keep healthy         D. they do so to prevent them from sleeping

5.From the last paragraph we can guess that ________.

  A. the sun moves fast around the earth

  B. the earth circles round the sun very fast

  C. the earth is very small

  D. the spaceship circles round the earth once every 90 imnutes

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.  

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.  

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.  

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.  

  64. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?

  A. Cycling around a lake.

  B. Motor racing in the desert.

  C. Playing basketball in a gym.

  D. Swimming in a sports center.

  65. What do we know about golf from the passage?

  A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.

  B. It causes water shortages around the world.

  C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.

  D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.

  66. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because______.

  A. it is an outdoor sport

  B. it improves our health

  C. it uses fewer resources

  D. it is recommended by experts

  67. The author writes the passage to_______.

  A. show us the function of major sports

  B. encourage us to go in for green sports

  C. discuss the major influence of popular sports

  D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
(A)
Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”
