From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations， human beings have been putting great effort into space research． And so far， we have achieved many successes． But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress．
The international space station （ISS） is an important step we should take in space exploration． It is not only helpful but also essential． It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time． It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe． It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars． In a word， if we want to explore space more， the first thing we should do is to set up a space station．
As the space station costs a lot of money， it is hard for one country alone to establish one． The USA seem to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone， and it has tried to do so， but not very successful． So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together． Though it is still extremely expensive， it is much cheaper than doing it alone． It is really a job that needs everyone's effort and will benefit everyone．
Led by the U．S． and Russia， the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16countries． Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation， the ISS has come to the end of a ten﹣year's hard work in construction． China has applied for participation in （taking part in） the project many times． Unfortunately all the applications were rejected， which drove China onto the path of independent development． As the Long March Ⅱ﹣F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off （leave the ground） and successfully carried the Tiangong﹣1into space on September 29， 2011， China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era．
Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong﹣1 would disturb the balance of global space power， raising concerns about "China threat"． China's space project is not designed for military purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind's well﹣being．
1.From Paragraph 2we learn that ．
A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now
B. many experiments have been done in the international space station
C. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more
D. people have traveled to Mars from the international space station
2.Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries' cooperation in building the international space station？
A. That it requires a lot of money．
B. That it needs everyone's effort．
C. That it will benefit every participating country．
D. That it is too far away from the earth．
3.The underlined word "aggregated" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by " "．
A. united
B. scolded
C. allowed

4.China wants to build its space station in order to ．
A. break the balance of global space power

Since people first sent rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spaceship. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.
Some things we send into space fall back toward the earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.
But space junk falling on housetops (屋顶) is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting (绕轨道飞行) the earth. Two big things become many smaller things. They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.
So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet? Marco Castronuovo, an Italian researcher, talks about sending a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere.
Mr. Castronuovo has proposed (提议) using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite would jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.
Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.
1.Much of the space junk _____.
A．was thrown by the astronauts
B．is from broken spaceship
C．is made up of small pieces of things
D．returns to the earth piece by piece
2.Scientists are most worried that the space junk _____.
A．will stop the future space vehicles
B．will do harm to the atmosphere
C．will fall on the housetops
D．will burn up in space
3.What does Marco Castronuovo think of his system?
A．It can remove space junk completely.
B．It can save a large amount of money.
C．It can create a large amount of space.
D．It can develop robotic technology.

I was used to carrying a penknife in my pocket， and over the years I moved up in size from a small single knife to a Swiss Army knife and then eventually to a Leatherman multi-tool （多刃刀具）．
This wasn't a problem for many years． However， after the 9/11， the world changed． I was traveling from JFK to LAX， so I took the knife out of my pocket and put it in my bag． But when I got to the airport， I had completely forgotten about it， so I just quickly went through safety check． This was not long after 9/11， so safety check was extremely strict． But somehow， the X-ray screener missed the knife in the bag， and I walked on through．
I was sitting in the gate area waiting for boarding， when I noticed a second security screening process right next to the gate， with another X-ray machine and what looked like anti-terrorist soldiers． I suddenly remembered that I had this knife in my bag! I really didn't know what I should do． If I did nothing and they caught the knife during the second security screening， I'd be dead； if I told them I accidentally got the knife through the first screening， they would certainly re-screen every passenger on the plane； if I dropped it in a garbage can， it would be found by a cleaner in a secure area （警戒区），and probably result in something scary! I was anxious and like a cat on hot bricks． Suddenly， I noticed a skycap， someone whose job is to carry passengers' bags at an airport． I had an idea． I then began to ask every skycap I saw， "Hey， how would you like a ﹩60 multi-tool as a present？"
Finally， a guy looking happy but confused took it off my hands． I then went through the second safety check with no knife．
1.The author carried a knife in his pocket ______ ．
A. out of habit B. B． as a present
C. out of self-protection D. as a souvenir （纪念品）
2.In the end， how did the author deal with the knife？ ______
A. He put it in the bag． B. He gave it to others．
C. He threw it away secretly． D. He handed it to a policeman．
3.The passage is mainly about ______ ．
A. the history of penknives
B. the strict safety check in JFK
C. a meaningful gift from the airport
D. an embarrassing experience in the airport

On October 17, 2016 the Shenzhou-11 manned spaceship was sent into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu. Two days later the spaceship successfully connected with the space laboratory Tiangong-2. It meant China got closer to its plan of building a space station in 2020.
The spaceship took two Chinese astronauts to space this time. Jing Haipeng was an experienced astronaut who flew on Shenzhou-7 in 2008 and Shenzhou-9 in 2012. But it was Chen Dong’s first space flight.
Jing and Chen were given a 30-day task on Tiangong-2. They tested new technology and did experiments to prepare for future space station tasks. The astronauts themselves were also the subject (对象) of those experiments. The life support devices (设备) they used and how they lived inside the space laboratory were studied. No Chinese astronaut had stayed in space for that long before.
A month-long space task was not easy, so Chinese scientists and engineers had come up with lots of new technologies to allow astronauts to stay more safely and more comfortably in space. One of the new technologies tested during this task was a device called “space hospital”. The space hospital was two little silver boxes tied around the two astronauts, legs. Through the “space hospital”, scientists and doctors on the Earth could watch the astronauts, heart rate and temperature. When the astronauts felt tired, the “space hospital” could even massage (为…按摩) them.
After this task, China was expected to send an unmanned cargo spaceship (无人货运飞船) in mid-April the next year. It docked with Tiangong-2 and took new fuel to the space laboratory.
1.The spaceship connected with the space lab oratory Tiangong-2 on .
A. October 17 B. October 19 C. November 19 D. November 20
2.How many times has Jing Haipeng been to space?
A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times.
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. China will build its own space station in 2020.
B. In October, 2016 Chen Dong took his first space flight.
C. The two astronauts themselves did experiments in space.
D. In 2020 another cargo spaceship will take new fuel to the space laboratory.
