• 1．In America，we often regard Sally Ride as the first female astronaut.But the first woman in space is actually a Soviet astronaut who beat out 400 applicants to pilot the Vostok 6 spacecraft in 1963—twenty years before Ride took her historic spaceflight.
     There was nothing in Valentina Tereshkova's early life that showed she would become a space pioneer.Tereshkova finished school at age 16 and went to work to help support her family.She seemed to follow her mother's footsteps as a textile factory worker，except one interest：skydiving.By the time she was 22，she was jumping out of a plane pretty regularly.And then came the space race.
     By 1962，the competition to get into space had been starting between the Soviet Union and the United States for about seven years.The two countries，in an effort to do better than the other in exploring space，had each launched men into space.
     During the space race，the Soviet Union and the U.S.constantly tried to be better.After putting a man in space，the obvious next step was to send a woman into space.The Soviet Union's lead spacecraft designer，Sergey Korolyov，is said to have been helpful in the decision.There are rumors（傳言） that the Soviet Union knew that the U.S.jye.ai planning to send a woman to space and wanted to beat the Americans.
     Inspired by Gagarin's flight，Tereshkova wrote to the Soviet authorities （當局） hoping for any future training program for female astronauts.The authorities answered and in early 1962 she became one of just five women accepted for astronaut training.On June 16，1963，Tereshkova took off，eventually circling the Earth 48 times over the course of almost three days and securing her place in history as the first woman to leave the Earth's atmosphere.
  
  （1）When did Sally Ride go into space？

  
  A．In 1963.
  B．In 1973.
  C．In 1983.
  D．In 1993.
  （2）Why did Tereshkova choose to be a textile factory worker？

  
  A．Because she thought highly of her mother.
  B．Because she had to give a hand to her family.
  C．Because she wanted to save money for the space race.
  D．Because she was allowed to do skydiving.
  （3）What did Tereshkova do on knowing a woman to be sent to space？

  
  A．She suggested some training program for women.
  B．She refused the Soviet authorities' invitation.

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

  
  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？

  
  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？

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

• 4．At age 5，I had my future clearly planned：At age 18，I would become a hairdresser like my mom's friend Jane，who was the prettiest woman I had ever seen.I would live in a huge house and own four dogs，five cats，and a horse.However，time and three dead hamsters （倉鼠） have taught me that pets need a lot of time and care. （1）

  I've also realized that I wouldn't become a good hairdresser.

  Please read on.
     A couple of years ago，my uncle Pierre was in intensive care （重癥監(jiān)護） for some time.I ended up spending quite a few hours in hospital looking curiously at the machinery that was keeping my uncle alive and even more curiously at the nurses who worked so quietly yet efficiently at it.The first time I went to see my uncle，I disliked the hospital.The smell of the place was bad enough. （3）

  Therefore，I decided I would never want to set foot in a hospital again.
     （4）

  As my uncle got better，I started to realize what an important job the nurses there did.I realized how great they were.I also wanted to do something that counted；I also wanted to give people a word of encouragement that would lift their spirits. （5）

  
  
  A.But my thoughts changed later.
  B.I know I can't always afford them.
  C.So I dream of becoming a nurse now.
  D.So what's my dream for the future now？
  E.I'm looking forward to having many pets.
