26、 If you've ever wondered what the process of becoming an astronaut is like, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (KSCVC) now has an experience that puts visitors in the shoes of a space explorer in training. The center's Astronaut Training Experience (ATE), features four simulations (模拟). They all require teamwork and good communication.
Dee Maynard, manager of education programs at KSCVC, said the experience was designed to keep visitors involved the whole time. 'When we were designing this, one of our concerns was that we wanted to be having an experience and not waiting around, ' Maynard said. 'Also, astronaut training is very much a team effort. '
Although astronauts go through thousands of hours of training before taking off for space, this training does include some parts that are similar to those of real NASA training.
One simulation helps visitors learn what it takes to launch NASA's Space Launch System rocket. Six people step into the role of launch control and communicate with six others on the Orion capsule.
Visitors take turns reading and passing instructions and sets of data from both sides. In mission control (地面指挥中心), they can step into roles including flight director and spacecraft systems officer. Inside the capsule, people try their hand at such jobs as flight engineer and commander.
Across the room, there are chairs that are similar to the kind of zero gravity chair. With the press of a switch, the chairs fly across a special floor, giving astronauts-in-training an experience that somewhat simulates the zero gravity environment of space. This part of the experience also offers visitors a chance to learn about the management about sleeping, using the toilet and working in space.
Two simulations help participants experience what life on Mars might look like.
【1】What are the qualities most required for the astronaut training at KSCVC?
①Working together. ②Reading skills.
③Data analyzing. ④Communication skills.
A.①③ B.①④ C.②③ D.②④
【2】How might people feel when they take part in ATE?
A.Busy. B.Bored. C.Worried. D.Comfortable.
【3】We can conclude in the paragraph that follows ________.
A.the readers will get to know more about roles in space.
B.the zero gravity environment of space will be described.
C.the author might introduce NASA's Space Launch System.
D.the 'land and drive on Mars' simulators might be talked about.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Explore the Future of Space
B.Realize Your Dream at KSCVC
C.Experience Life as an Astronaut
D.Make Yourself a Great Astronaut
27、Pandemic (流行病) lock-downs (封锁) might be common, but not all our movements are limited. This has led to a rise in dance, as people search for connection. Live classes online have increased rapidly, headed by the likes of dance legend Debbie Allen. Living rooms are becoming party scenes thanks to live-streaming (视频直播) dance parties by celebrity dancers Diplo and D-Nice.
Because of the recent increase in virtual events, geographically separated groups of strangers are moving in the same direction to the same rhythm without speaking a word. Recent research has shown that even our earliest ancestors (祖先) recognized the social benefits of dance.
According to a recent study published in the Public Library of Science’s Genetics Journal, creative dancers share two similar genes with good social communicators. These researchers believe our prehistoric ancestors who were good dancers used those skills for a close relationship and social interaction. We dance to celebrate harvests, ask for much-needed rain and bring healing.
In the Guadeloupe Islands, dance was once one of the only means of communication for an entire population. West Africans were brought over to the French Caribbean as slave (奴隶) labor. Members from various places speaking different languages began to find common ground in rhythms and dances. This art form became Gwoka. Each Gwoka rhythm shows a specific human experience, such as love, sadness and the celebration of Carnival (狂欢节).
I learned to speak a bit of this language at a Guadeloupean folk dance school. Gwoka shared similarities to the Bomba dance that I had tried in Puerto Rico. Bomba, in turn, had reminded me of the tambu in Aruba. As I continue to dance with more people, I build more links in a global chain of movement and rhythm.
So, in this new times of COVID -19, I’m not surprised how dance has been the solution for hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
【1】What mainly leads to the popularity of dance during pandemic lock-downs?
A．People’s thirst for connection.
B．Worldwide geographical limitation.
C．Online classes given by famous dancers.
D．Live-streaming parties thrown by celebrities.
【2】Why did our prehistoric ancestors dance according to the researchers?
A．To show an experience.
B．To build relationships.
C．To share genetic qualities.
D．To celebrate important events.
【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The origin of Gwoka.
B．The celebration of Carnival.
C．Slave trades in the French Caribbean.
D．Means of communication of West Africans.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to dance in COVID-19?
A．Doubtful.
B．Astonished.
C．Carefree.
D．Understandable.
28、 For many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before. He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare species.
That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.
In December 2015, he and a team of Australian scientists explored an isolated rainforest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people to enter the region. “As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground, there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.
Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeater — the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.
The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species — 13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms. “We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”
The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas — primitive egg-laying mammals — let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.
Bexler thinks the animals weren’t frightened because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people,” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviors of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”
Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Bexler and his team did not have enough time to study the area completely. They hope to return to record more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface,” Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”
【1】Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?
A.Modest. B.Adventurous.
C.Optimistic. D.Confident.
【2】What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says the scientists “were like kids in a candy store”?
A.They didn’t have enough food and were hungry.
B.They were very excited about what they saw.
C.They were behaving like naughty children.
D.They knew that if they kept searching, they’d find sugar.
【3】Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?
A.The scientists seemed to be very friendly.
B.The scientists were good at handling animals.
C.The animals had been well-trained by the local people.
D.The animals had no experience or fear of people.
【4】What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?
A.The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.
B.The area has not been visited by scientists for many years.
C.The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.
D.The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.
