On February 6, 2020, American astronaut Christina Koch arrived back on Earth after 328 days in space. Her time in space is just one of the records set by herself. That’s the longest spaceflight ever made by a woman, and just one of the many things Ms. Koch achieved in space.

Ms. Koch took off from Earth for the International Space Station (ISS) on March 12, 2019. While in space, she made 5, 248 trips around the Earth, travelling 2, 237 million kilometers, which is roughly the same as 291 trips to the Moon and back. During her 11 months on the ISS, Ms. Koch took part in six spacewalks, spending over 42 hours in all outside the station. In October of 2019, Ms. Koch led the first ever all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir.

But for most astronauts, space travel isn’t about setting records. It’s about doing science. Ms. Koch took part in a wide variety of special experiments, including studying how crystals (晶体) grow in space, how atoms (原子) behave in extreme cold and learning more about growing plants in low gravity. Growing plants in space could be an important way to provide food on future trips. She also tested a new way of separating liquids from gases. This experiment could lead to simple methods of cleaning water and air in space, which could be very important for future space travel.

Ms. Koch isn’t just a scientist and an astronaut. She is also being studied. She’s part of a NASA program studying how astronauts are affected by being in space for long periods of time. Her trip was only 12 days shorter than the American record set by Scott Kelly in 2016. As they did with Mr. Kelly, NASA scientists are looking carefully at ways Ms. Koch’s body has been affected by her time in space. That research is important for the longer space trips NASA hopes to make in the future, such as for a base on the moon or a trip to Mars.

1.Which of the following is an achievement Ms. Koch has made?

A.Making the longest spaceflight by herself.

B.Leading the first women-only spacewalk.

C.Cleaning water and air successfully in space.

D.Staying outside the ISS continuously for 42 hours.

2.What does the author want to tell us with so many detailed figures in Paragraph 2?

A.Koch made historic breakthroughs in space.

B.Koch went through a life-threatening space trip.

C.Koch completed admirable tasks in the space travel.

D.Koch is the most experienced astronaut in NASA.

3.Which statement agrees with the text?

A.Astronauts are competing to set new records.

B.Koch’s team produced their own food in space.

C.NASA has founded a scientific base on the moon.

D.Koch’s research is significant for space exploration.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Record-Setting Astronaut Koch Returns to Earth

B.US Astronauts Carried out Experiments in Space

C.Spacewalks Have Successfully Been Done on the ISS

D.NASA is Studying Astronauts for Longer Space Trips

A crew of six teenage girls completed a nine-day sailing trip in the US recently，after braving seasickness and strong winds.

For the past three years，the Sea Cadet teenagers who set sail were all male.Roger Noakes，who captained the boat，said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.

The girls asked for an a11-girls trip in August this year.The crew set sail along with three adults，Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives.The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts(轮流换班)along the coast and then return.Things turned out differently，however. “The first night was rough because the wind was really hard.The waves were going up and down，”said Abby Fairchild，16.“Everybody got seasick.”Noakes gave the girls the option of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water.“But they decided they were going.”

The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts.“We’ve learned everything from steering(掌舵)the boat itself to putting up the sails to cooking while we have rough seas，”said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.

The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts.They didn’t make it to their original destination in Maine，where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner，due to the weather and winds.They said they weren’t disappointed，however，as they’d learned a lot.“They learned about boating，and above all，they built confidence and character，”said Noakes.

They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers）. It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.
