Before we left, I was told the force of gravity would change three time on our journey. Then we took up. As we left the earth, I became very heavily. Gradually the weight lessen. When I was in space, it was disappeared. We floated weightlessly in the cabin and I cheered up. When I was on the moon, I was surprise to find even walking needed lots of practice now that gravity changed. The returning of the earth was very frightened. We were amazed to watch fire broke out on the outside of the ship.答案Last month I paid a visit the moon with my friend.

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 Self­Growing 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 (模擬裝置) 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.”【語篇解讀】本文主要介紹了小學(xué)生Emilia Dobek設(shè)計(jì)太空站，并贏得挑戰(zhàn)的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。1Dobek first became interested in space when Ashe was still a seventh graderBshe studied at a junior high schoolCshe lived on the top of their houseDshe watched an eclipse of the moonD細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moona total lunar eclipse(月食)on the roof of their house”可知，Dobek對(duì)太空感興趣是從她在三年級(jí)時(shí)的一個(gè)晚上觀看一次月食開始的。2Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because Ashe knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeBshe had no other students interested in MarsCDobek knew how to research bone density of astronautsDshe was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performanceD推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Smeeton的話可推知，她對(duì)Dobek很了解，對(duì)其可以接受這項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)并出色完成充滿信心。3What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?AThe environment on Mars.BThe safety of the supplies.CThe activities for astronauts.DThe comfort of the astronauts.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段中的“make sure their comfort is out of this world”并結(jié)合對(duì)倒數(shù)第二段的整體理解可推知，Dobek的設(shè)計(jì)包含身體和休閑活動(dòng)，讓宇航員在太空中也感到舒適。B(2019·長(zhǎng)春市質(zhì)量監(jiān)測(cè)一)I was waiting for my train and on the subway station's floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man's knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question iswhat act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。作者在地鐵站臺(tái)看到有個(gè)醉漢坐在地上，于是把對(duì)方攙扶起來并陪他坐上地鐵，臨下車的時(shí)候?qū)Ψ饺o作者一百美元，作者準(zhǔn)備用這筆錢繼續(xù)幫助別人。4Why was the man sitting on the subway station's floor?ABecause he wanted to go home.BBecause he was seriously ill.CBecause he was drunk.DBecause he was waiting for the train.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句中的“I put the thought.with a drunken man”可知，這個(gè)人坐在地鐵站的地上是因?yàn)楹茸砹恕?Seeing the money left by the man, the author first felt AashamedBgratefulCdelightedDfrustratedA細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)尾段第一句中的“My initial reaction.was of shame”可知，作者看到這筆錢最初的反應(yīng)是感到羞愧，因此選A。6How will the author possibly deal with the money?AGive it back.BBuy something favorable.CLeave it on the seat.DGive it to people in need.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)尾段最后一句“Now, my question is.do with these 100 dollars”可推知，作者下一步要用這筆錢去幫助他人，因此選D。7What can we infer from the passage?AI helped the man the moment I saw him.BI accompanied the man to take the stairs.CI thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.DA young woman ran after me and gave me the note.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段可知，作者先是把不應(yīng)該單獨(dú)與這個(gè)醉漢同行的念頭趕走，并在電梯里陪著他，因此C項(xiàng)正確。.閱讀七選五(2019·湖南省六校聯(lián)考)Gardening 380 Kilometers above EarthAstronauts have to go through physical, psychological, and technical training. They also go through training in how to care for plants. These“astronaut gardeners” share their work and living space with plants.Taking seeds and plants along on a trip isn't a new idea. As space trips become longer, it will be necessary to grow food in space. 1 Because of this，it's not practical to send everything needed for a long journey, only to be used once and thrown away.Plants can serve many uses on a space journey. They can provide more fresh things. 2 Also, plants can help to make air quality better because they produce oxygen. They can improve the quality of the air inside the spacecraft the only air the astronauts can breathe. 3 Due to the lack of gravity in space, the oxygen that the plants produce stays around the plants. This can actually kill them，so fans are needed to circulate the air. Without gravity, roots don't“know”to grow down，leaves don't “know” to grow up，and water doesn't easily travel up the roots to the leaves. 4 Besides, soil is too heavy to send to space, and special liquid gels(凝膠) are used to help plant growth.Scientists are also working on the plants themselves. They are trying to make plants grow more rapidly and grow with less water and light in space，and they are looking for ways to make plants more resistant to disease. 5 Imagine that deserts may one day provide lots of fresh food for local people, saving transportation costs. Similarly, plants that are resistant to disease could provide an important food supply. With the world's population now at about 7.7 billion people，our astronaut gardeners may help discover ways to feed those billions.AEvery plant grown in space must have several uses.BHowever, there are challenges with growing plants in space.CSuch methods may result in improvements back here on Earth.DThe cost of taking anything into space is about $22，000 per kilogram.ESpecialized containers are being developed to help the plants grow correctly.FAstronauts will welcome the addition of fruits and vegetables to their diet of dry foods.GCurrently all oxygen is taken aboard in tanks.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了宇航員在太空種植的原因和好處以及種植方法。1D空后是說將所有所需東西帶上太空是不切合實(shí)際的；據(jù)此可推知，空處應(yīng)是介紹空后一句的原因；故D項(xiàng)“帶任何東西到太空的花費(fèi)大約是每千克22 000美元”符合語境。2F根據(jù)空前一句可知，植物可以為宇航員提供新鮮的東西；根據(jù)空后一句可知，植物還可以改善太空站的空氣質(zhì)量，因?yàn)槠淇梢援a(chǎn)生氧氣；據(jù)此可推知，空處應(yīng)是介紹太空種植植物的好處，即宇航員也喜歡在他們的干糧中有新鮮的果蔬食物，故F項(xiàng)正確。3B上文介紹了太空種植的好處，即為宇航員提供新鮮的果蔬、改善太空站的空氣質(zhì)量等；結(jié)合下文可知，種植太空果蔬有一定的困難；據(jù)此可知，空處承上啟下，與上文形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故B項(xiàng)正確。4E根據(jù)上文可知，在失重的情況下，植物的根和葉不知道如何生長(zhǎng)，水分也不容易從根部傳到葉子上；而空后一句介紹了關(guān)于土壤的解決方法；據(jù)此可推知，空處應(yīng)是介紹解決上述問題的方法，故E項(xiàng)“正在研制專門的容器去幫助植物正確地生長(zhǎng)”符合語境。5C根據(jù)空前一句可知，科學(xué)家們正在尋找各種讓植物少使用水，在太空快速生長(zhǎng)，而且可以抵抗病害的方法；且下文又提到改良后的植物對(duì)地球的影響；據(jù)此可推知，空處應(yīng)是說明這些方法可以在地球上運(yùn)用以帶來改善，故C項(xiàng)正確。.語法填空(2019·貴陽市適應(yīng)性考試一)China's space program has become the first to land a spacecraft on the 1.
