阅读下面短文, 选出最佳答案。(共10小题, 计15分)
A
Many people dream of traveling into outer space. However, spending too much time inspace may cause health problems, according to NASA. That's why astronauts shouldn't spend
more than six months on the International Space Station (ISS) at a time.
Muscle (肌肉) and bone loss
In a weightless environment, astronauts don't need to use their muscles to support
themselves, so their muscles start shrinking. To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to
exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS.
Sleep disorder (混乱)
In space, the sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this light-
dark cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall,
and it is uncomfortable.
Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods (分离舱) that help shut out some of the
light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even
though they should have eight and a half hours.
Brain changes
Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during the spaceflight. It can
affect how the brain deals with how we see, stay balanced and move around. That's why some
astronauts can't control their movement and balance after returning to the Earth. Scientists have
also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But
they still need to do more research.
41. According to the passage, astronauts may have the following health problems EXCEPT
____.
A. bone loss
B. brain changes
C. sleep disorder
D. headaches
42. Astronauts may have muscle problems after returning to the Earth because ____.
A. they seldom walk while in space
B. they are too busy to exercise in space
C. they don't have enough room to exercise in space
D. they don't need to use their muscles to support themselves in space
43. Astronauts sleep in individual sleeping pods to ____.
A. stay warm at nightB. shut out light
C. enjoy a quiet place
D. avoid moving around
B
Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17, he travelled across Europe and
Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. Finally they arrived in Beijing.
They were guests at the Emperor's Palace. Although Marco Polo was young, he was very
clever and could speak some foreign languages. The Emperor was impressed by him. He asked
Marco Polo to serve in his court (宫廷) and sent him to do many important tasks across the
country.
Marco Polo was amazed by the beautiful China. He was impressed by Beijing and the
Emperor's Palace, especially the Summer Palace which he described as “The greatest palace
that ever was... The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large that it
could easily seat 6, 000 people for dinner.”
There were inventions and developments in China which were not used in Europe at that
time. He was puzzled(困惑的)by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The
black stones were coal, but Marco Polo had never seen coal before!
In 1295, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. He was
then a very wealthy man. A writer wrote down the stories that Marco Polo told him in a book
called The Travels of Marco Polo.
Although people enjoyed reading the book, many of them thought that Marco Polo's
stories about China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco Polo always stood by his tales.
Just before he died in 1324, Marco Polo was asked the question. “Were they all true?” And this
was his answer, “I have only told half of what I saw!”
44. Marco Polo and his father went to China to ____.
A. go on a trip
B. be asked as guests
C. do business
D. study Chinese
45. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How beautiful China was!
B. How developed China was!C. How big China was!
D. How strong China was!
46. We can learn from the passage that ____.
A. Marco Polo used two examples to describe Chinese developments
B. only a few people didn't believe what Marco Polo said
C. the Emperor forced Marco Polo to serve him
D. Marco Polo was 70 years old when he died
47. Where can we probably read the passage?
A. In a poster.
B. In a guide book.
C. In a fairy tale.
D. In biography(传记作品).
C
Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our life.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the
past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to
travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and we can take many other fast
and comfortable vehicles, such as cars and highspeed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools
we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and
machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no
bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like
refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communication has become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch
with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose
from, such as making a phone call, sending emails or messages and chatting online. Moreover,
we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones,
and we can see each other while chatting online.
Thanks to the developing technology, especially the Internet, our life has become much
easier and happier than before.
48. Why were planes not so popular many years ago?A. Because they were not big enough.
B. Because they were not able to fly long.
C. Because they were very expensive.
D. Because they were not fast enough.
49. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Many families have TV sets and washing machines nowadays.
B. There were no bathrooms or running water before.
C. Living conditions have been improved.
D. Many people can take baths at home now.
50. The writer's last example for great changes in people's life is about ____.
A. traveling

Stephen Hawking, one of the world's most famous scientists, believed that humans
will one day have to move into space, “Once we step into space, our future should be
safe, ” he said.
Today, many countries are all planning to send astronauts to Earth's closestneighbor: the moon. Some of these countries want to create space stations there within
the next 10 years. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or
other earth like planets.
Many people say it's too expensive. Most space trips are not short. A oneway trip to
Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People traveling this kind of distance
could face many health problems. Besides, these first people would find life difficult in
space. On the moon's surface, for example, the sun's rays are very dangerous. People
would have to stay indoors most of the time.
