30、4.If you concentrate all your energies5Last but not least.【语篇解读】本文是一篇具有科幻性质的记叙文，两个小孩通过电脑里的一个程序意外穿越到了另外一个星球火星。1C细节理解题。第四段第二句出现了“curiosity”，第五段第三句出现了“curious”，由此可以判断，Mark因感到好奇而被电脑深深吸引了。故选C项。2C推理判断题。第一段最后一句提到Mark喜欢做实验并希望成为像他父亲一样的科学家。第五段第一句又提到，这台计算机是父亲从他工作的实验室带回来的，由此可以推出答案为C。3A细节理解题。根据第六段的“Its a compute
31、r game.”可知，Mark误以为这是一款电脑游戏。4B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“DESTINATION(目的地)：MARS.”可知，这两个小孩子最后被送到了火星上。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在太空中的生活有多神秘？这可能是你想象不到的。本文从不同角度介绍了在太空中生活时你要面对的各种挑战。5A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句Its position presents its own challenges.可知，在太空中睡觉时，首先要面对的就是睡觉的姿势问题，这与A项中的position吻合。其他三个选项都表述片面，不能概括position一词，所以选择A项。6C推理判断题。根据第三段中
32、的But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long.You can end up with what astronauts call a carbondioxide headache.可知，如果在一个地方待的时间太长，没有了重力帮助空气流通，呼出的二氧化碳就有可能在你的头附近形成隐形的云朵，你就会得“二氧化碳”头疼症，这与C项的表述吻合。A、B、D三项描述的都不是长时间在一个地方的活动，所以不会产生“二氧化碳”头疼症。7D推理判断题。根据第四段中的Your inner ear thinks
33、youre falling.Meanwhile your eyes are telling you youre standing straight.That can be annoyingthats why some people feel sick.可知，在太空中，你的内耳认为你要倒下，而眼睛却告诉你你在直立，也就是内耳和眼睛输出的信息是矛盾的，所以有些人会感到恶心，故选择D项。在太空中宇航员的感官不会停止工作，所以A项错误；B项是对文意的错误理解；C项表述的情况在太空中可能会发生，但是这种情况不会使宇航员们感到恶心(feel sick)，所以与题干不符，故排除。8B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的NASA is worried about two things.可知，NASA担心的是宇航员回家之后需要的恢复时间和怎样在两年半或更长时间的绕火星的旅行中保持体力和健康，这与B项中的remain healthy for long in space吻合，由此可知应该选择B项。A、D两项在原文中并没有提及，C项是对原文的错误理解。.15EDBAG
