Making beer on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many,but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego,there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth's surface.
   The Lab2 Moon competition,held by TeamIndus,is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.
   Taking craft beer to the next level,the students want to test whether it's possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon.However,they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts,it's also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing foods,like bread.
   "The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends," said Neeki Ashari,a fifth-year bioengineering student at UC San Diego. "We all appreciate the craft of beer.When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would appear on India's moonlander,we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality(可行性) of yeast in outer space. "
   The preparation work for the beer—up to the stage of adding yeast—will all be done on Earth,and rather than separating the fermentation(發(fā)酵) and carbonation stages of making beer,the team plans to combine them.
   This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process,which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
   If selected,Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space,and the fermentation will take place in a vessel no bigger than a soda can.
   All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore,India.
   Sadly,you won't be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon,as no samples will be brought back.However,this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables behave in different environments.

(1)How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment?
A
A

A.Excited.
B.Nervous.
C.Confident.
D.Casual.
(2)What does the underlined word "This" in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A
A

A.The mixing of two stages.
B.Adding yeast on Earth.
C.The preparation work on Earth.
D.Fermentation and carbonation.
(3)What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
D
D

A.It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B.It's quite competitive compared with other designs.
C.Its design has already been approved by TeamIndus.
D.Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.
(4)What does the author think of the students' idea?
C
C

A.It seems like a pipe dream.
B.It's extremely complicated.
C.It's meaningful and hopeful.
D.It's creative but impractical.

  • 1.Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating (不請客就搗亂) for candies.But for some kids,eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
       That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(過敏癥).They are allergic to ingredients(成分)in many Halloween candies,such as peanuts,tree nuts,milk,eggs,and beans.If they eat these foods,they will get sick or even die.
       "I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight-year-old Conlen said.Conlen is allergic to peanuts,tree nuts,and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.She has been trick-or-treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
       But this year,Conlen,Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween.That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project(TPP),which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education(FARE).FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies.Through the project,the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小飾品) and toys.
       To take part in the project,people buy a teal(藍綠色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house.The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there.The households also add their home addresses to an online map,making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.
       Kylie loves the idea."The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said."It makes me feel like a normal kid,and it makes everyone feel included."

    (1)To Conlen and Kylie,the past Halloween were

    A.upsetting and dangerous
    B.interesting and special
    C.sick and terrible
    D.important and exciting
    (2)According to the passage,we know that FARE

    A.helps people with food allergies recover
    B.helps the households take part in the TPP
    C.takes action to change kids' bad eating habits
    D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
    (3)The households help kids with food allergies by

    A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
    B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
    C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
    D.a(chǎn)sking them for home addresses and sending them gifts
    (4)Where is the passage most probably taken from?

    A.A magazine about the history of festivals.
    B.A news report on cultures and customs.
    C.An advertisement for an organization.
    D.A research paper on kid's health.

  • 3.Besides the excitement of travel,one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,holidays,foods,art,music,and politics first-hand.
       "I learned the language and am now fluent,but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures,people,and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family,not from the tourist's point of view," says Andrew,who studied in Poitiers,F(xiàn)rance.
       Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas,Venezuela,a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
       Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(過渡)to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同齡人). "After having gone abroad in high school,I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
       Most of all,it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.

    (1)What is the passage mainly about?

    A.Learning a language.

    C.Living in a foreign country.

    (2)What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?

    A.It can change our habits.
    B.It can offer us opportunities.
    C.It can increase our knowledge.
    D.It can build our confidence.
    (4)What do the underlined words "a breeze" in paragraph 4 probably refer to?
