Ⅲ.阅读理解(20分)
Almost everyone has a question, or two about living in space. What is life really like in space? And what do astronauts(宇航员) do there?
Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene needs as people do on the earth. When they wake up, they wash their hair, brush their teeth and go to the bathroom as well. However, because of microgravity(微重力), astronauts take care of themselves in different ways. For example, they use a kind of special matter to wash their hair and leg restraints(腿部固定装置) to position themselves when they use the toilet.
Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some food can be eaten in the natural form such as fruit. Other foods require adding water such as noodles. There are no fridges in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid going bad.
Besides morning routine(常规) and eating in space, astronauts perform many tasks including checking the machines, updating computer equipment(更新电脑设备), etc. At the same time, the control centre on the earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email with new instructions to assist them in their daily routines.
What's more, living in space is not just all work and no play. A popular way of
6
relaxation is looking out of the window. And they can also enjoy themselves by watching movies, reading books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.

22.As for eating in space, which statement is NOT true?
A.Astronauts eat three meals a day as people do on Earth.

C.Food can be kept fresh in fridges.

A.Eating in space.
B.Working in space.
C.Relaxing in space.
24.Besides checking the machines and updating computer equipment, astronauts also need to ________ in their daily work.
A.communicate with friends on the earth
B.control the people at the control centre on the earth
C.receive the messages and follow the instructions from the control centre on the earth

When you look up at the sky at night, and see something moving and shining, it might be a comet. A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It receives sunlight and shines. Like the earth, a comet goes around the sun. If a comet isn't a star, what is it then? Some scientists think it

is perhaps a big piece of rock. Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However, no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few are close enough for us to see.
