On February 6，2020，American astronaut Christina Koch arrived back on Earth after 328 days in space.Her time in space is just one of the records set by herself.That's the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman，and just one of the many things Ms.Koch achieved in space.
Ms.Koch took off from Earth for the International Space Station （ISS）on March 12，2019.While in space，she made 5，248 trips around the Earth，travelling 2，237 million kilometers，which is roughly the same as 291 trips to the Moon and back.During her 11 months on the ISS，Ms.Koch took part in six spacewalks，spending over 42 hours in all outside the station.In October of 2019，Ms.Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.
But for most astronauts，space travel isn't about setting records.It's about doing science.Ms.
Koch took part in a wide variety of special experiments，including studying how crystals grow in space，how atoms behave in extreme cold and learning more about growing plants in low gravity.Growing plants in space could be an important way to provide food on future trips.She also tested a new way of separating liquids from gases.This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space，which could be very important for future space travel.
Ms.Koch isn't just a scientist and an astronaut.She is also being studied.She's part of a NASA program studying how astronauts are affected by being in space for long periods of time.Her trip was only 12 days shorter than the American record set by Scott Kelly in 2016.As they did with Mr.Kelly，NASA scientists are looking carefully at ways Ms.Koch's body has been affected by her time in space.
That research is important for the longer space trips NASA hopes to make in the future，such as for a base on the moon or a trip to Mars.
（1）Which of the following is an achievement Ms.Koch has made？ BB
A．Making the longest spaceflight by herself.
B．Leading the first women-only spacewalk.
C．Cleaning water and air successfully in space.
D．Staying outside the ISS continuously for 42 hours.
（2）What do the figures in Paragraph 2 suggest？ CC
A．Koch made historic breakthroughs in space.
B．Koch went through a life-threatening space trip.
C．Koch completed admirable tasks in the space travel.
D．Koch is the most experienced astronaut in NASA.
（3）What do we know from the text？ DD
A．Astronauts are competing to set new records.
B．Koch's team produced their own food in space.
C．NASA has founded a scientific base on the moon.
D．Koch's research is significant for space exploration.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？ AA
A．Record-Setting Astronaut Koch Returns to Earth.
B．US Astronauts Carried out Experiments in Space.
C．Spacewalks Have Successfully Been Done on the ISS.
D．NASA is Studying Astronauts for Longer Space Trips.

2．Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids（小行星） and comets，as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons，delivered by stars like Bruce Willis，to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality，if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock，the safest and best answer might be something more subtle，like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening，when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous，which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared，the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned，they said，with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell，our first planetary defense test was a success，" said Elena Adams，the mission systems engineer，who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test （DART） ，a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months，scientists said，before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course，probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks，especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully，none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered，and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson，NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
（1）How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully？
A．The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B．They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C．The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D．They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
（2）What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft？
A．To search for evidence of alien life.
B．To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C．To save the world and deliver a drama.
D．To test technology for defending Earth.
（3）What can be inferred about Dimorphous？
A．It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B．It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C．It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D．It is expected to blow up after the impact.
（4）Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with？
A．Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B．NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C．Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D．NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布：2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷：6引用：4難度：0.5 -
