However, according to a study conduct

13、ed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on the International Space Station (ISS), crystalline protein structures form regularly in microgravity(微重力) conditions, which allows for targeted drugs designed to “double these boys lifespans (壽命)”.And you want to talk about feeding the hungry?

By the way,as far as I am concerned,as for feeding the hungry, food distribution is the issue rather than the food supply.Space exploration is one of the best things that humanity has ever done.1.What do people want to know by asking the question in Pa

19、s.Taking seeds and plants along on a trip isnt a new idea. As space trips become longer, it will be necessary to grow food in space. 1 Because of this, its 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.

20、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 spacecraftthe only air the astronauts can breathe.3 Due to the lack of gravity in space, the oxygen that the plants produce stays aro

21、und the plants. This can actually kill them, so fans are needed to circulate the air. Without gravity, roots dont “know” how to grow down, leaves dont “know” how to grow up, and water doesnt easily travel up the roots to the leaves. 4 Besides, soil is too heavy to send to space, and special liquid g

26、nada geese flying into the clouds. They live to be around 25 years old and are very loyal. They never forget their first home.No one knows this more than my family.In 2000, when I was seven, my parents and I came back from a T-ball game one late spring afternoon. To our surprise, two adult geese and

27、 a baby goose were in our driveway(私人車道).The adults were shocked by us and flew away, but their baby was too young to fly and couldnt follow.We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid contact with the baby, hoping he could join his parents.Hours passed, and night fell. The tiny

28、 little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen.It was clear that the baby needed protection, warmth, and food to make it to the morning, so we brought him onto our back porch and set up a wire fence to enclose and protect him.We all pretty much slept with one eye open till

29、 morning. And then another morning. And another. Each day, we tried eagerly to get the baby back to his parents, who kept coming to our yard. He wouldnt go to them.The baby goose had clearly decided we were his new family and we gave him a namePeeper, because he would follow us around the yard makin

Every day, my dad would clear his droppings with water and throw him up into the air, so he could fly in a loop around the house, coming ba

31、ck again once the porch was clean.注意:讀寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。Paragraph 1:One evening, my uncle came, and my dad wanted to show him Peepers loop. Paragraph 2:It came as a shock 20 years later when an aging adult goose made his way back to my yard. 參考答案與解析基礎(chǔ)知識過關(guān).1.monitor2.oxygen3.pattern4.resources.1.is supposed

36、e.when millions of people in their country are living below the poverty line?(當(dāng)數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的人生活在貧困線以下時(shí),國家在太空計(jì)劃上投資數(shù)十億美元是否有意義?)”可知,人們問這個問題是想知道太空計(jì)劃是否有益于地球上的人們。故選D。2.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“It affects almost only boys (它幾乎只影響男孩)”可知女孩似乎不會得這種病。故選A。由第二段中的However,according to a study conducted by the Japan Aerospace Explor

37、ation Agency (JAXA) on the International Space Station (ISS).which allows for targeted drugs 可知晶體蛋白的形成是關(guān)鍵,而非ISS,排除B項(xiàng);還是由第二段中的crystalline protein structures form regularly in microgravity(微重力) conditions, which allows for targeted drugs可知在微重力條件下,這種病并不會變得嚴(yán)重,排除C項(xiàng);由第二段中的“Theyre wheelchair-bound by age 1

38、2”可知,D項(xiàng)錯誤。3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“And you want to talk about feeding the hungry.which means you can make a lot of lettuces in space.(你想談?wù)勎桂B(yǎng)饑餓的人嗎?我們有太空生菜,它的結(jié)構(gòu)和營養(yǎng)相當(dāng)于地球上的生菜。太空里幾乎什么都有,這意味著你可以在太空制造很多生菜。)”可知作者對在太空中種植食物的態(tài)度是贊同的,故選B。4.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知許多人提出一個問題,作者幾乎厭倦了回答;第二段就杜氏肌肉營養(yǎng)不良癥做出解釋,第三段就為饑餓者提供食物做出解釋,第四段是一個簡短的總結(jié),

39、同時(shí)也是作者對于第一段提到的問題給出的一個答案。所以該篇文章是摘自一個問問題和給出優(yōu)質(zhì)答案的網(wǎng)站。故選B。.語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了宇航員在太空種植植物的原因和好處以及種植方法。1.D根據(jù)空后“Because of this, its not practical to send everything needed for a long journey, only to be used once and thrown away.”可知,把長途旅行所需要的東西都送出去,只用一次就扔掉是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。此處應(yīng)介紹空后一句的原因,故D項(xiàng)“將任何物體帶入太空的成本約為每公斤22,000美元?！?/p>

40、符合語境。2.F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,植物可以幫助改善空氣質(zhì)量,因?yàn)樗鼈兛梢援a(chǎn)生氧氣。據(jù)此可知,空處應(yīng)是介紹在太空種植植物的好處,且承接上文,即宇航員將歡迎在他們的干糧中加入水果和蔬菜,故選F。3.B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,在太空種植果蔬有一定的困難,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)“然而,在太空種植植物也有挑戰(zhàn)。”符合語境。4.E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,水分也不容易從根部傳到葉子上;而空后一句介紹了解決土壤問題的辦法;據(jù)此可推知,空處應(yīng)是介紹解決上述問
