It's 51 years since man first stepped on the moon, and were still dreaming of escaping life on Earth for the mysteries of space. If a career as an astronaut isn’t interesting for you, perhaps the promise of a stay in a space hotel might be attractive.

Californian company The Gateway Foundation has released plans for the Von Braun Station, a ship-style hotel floating among the stars. The aim is to get the hotel off the ground by 2025 and make it fully operational for travel by 2027. According to the video and images released by the Gateway Foundation, the station looks like a rotating(旋转)wheel, made up of 24 parts, circling the Earth. Tim Alatorre, senior designer at the Gateway Foundation, says the wheel can create a simulated(模仿的) gravity.

The Gateway Foundation’s hotel design is named for Wernher Von Braun, an aerospace engineer who pioneered rocket technology, first in Germany and later in the United States.

Space tourism is an expensive game-a stay in its space hotel will cost $9. 5 million. The Von Braun Station will sleep 352 people with a maximum capacity of 450.

So what will Von Braun Station be like inside? On board. there’ll be warm suites with carpets and stylish touches and bars that wouldn't look out of place back on Earth, just with star -observing views. There will also be plenty of fun amusement activities for guest to enjoy, says Alatorre. “We’re going to have a number of different amusement activities and games that’ll highlight the fact that you're able to do things that you can’t do on Earth,” he says. “Because of the weightlessness and the reduced gravity, you’ll be able to jump higher, be able to lift things, be able to run in ways that you can't on Earth.”

Given the design is still exactly that just a design there are some questions that remain unanswered about how the space hotel will work in reality. The construction on the Gateway Foundations project is set to begin on October 1, 2021.

1.What can we know about the new hotel according to the second paragraph?

A.It will be put into use by the year of 2025.

B.There will be no gravity in the new hotel.

C.The first customers of the hotel are astronauts.

D.The wheel-like hotel will go around the earth.

2.Why is the new hotel called Von Braun Station?

A.Because is named after the designer of the hotel.

B.Because it is in honor of a great space engineer.

C.Because it is the first space hotel in the world.

D.Because it is the symbol of international cooperation.

3.Which of the following best describes the inside of the hotel?

A.Surprising and risky. B.Creative but uncomfortable

C.Funny and creative D.Interesting and fancy.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.The construction of the hotel has started.

B.The project on the earth will be finished by 2021.

C.There are some problems which need to be solved.

D.Some people question whether the hotel should be built.

People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.

In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense, a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea. Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).

Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).

The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.

According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).

Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.

Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”

Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.

1.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _______________.

A. where “Prison Inside Me” is located

B. what people can do in “Prison Inside Me”

C. how “Prison Inside Me” came into being

D. when “Prison Inside Me” was completed

2.Which of the statements is true?

A. people in South Korea prefer living under great pressure

B. Mr. Kwon had intended to let guests stay at “Prison Inside Me” for over two days

C. most people in South Korea can not afford to stay at “Prison Inside Me”

D. the 28 cells are well furnished, but with no toilets in them

3.We can know from the passage that _______________.

A. many people have been kept in such a prison at least three times

B. it is not a good idea for people to focus only on themselves

C. people find it not difficult to breathe though the prison is small

D. some still felt a bit unsatisfied as the conditions weren’t poor enough

4.Who should go to the “Prison Inside Me”?

A. A successful businessman

B. A criminal at large

C. A primary student

D. A stressed man

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Many South Koreans voluntarily go to “prison” to reduce stress.

B. Many South Koreans can hardly bear the stress of daily life.

C. South Koreans should spend more time alone thinking about life.

D. South Koreans have found the best way to deal with everyday pressure.

The next great land area that man hopes to control is the moon. In size it is nearly equal to the area of North and South America. However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures range +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade (摄氏). There is no air, and no water.

Today there is considerable scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface is still not determined. But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters (临时住所). These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the settlers themselves from the earth. Finally, settlements that are self-supporting will be founded.

The main job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. They will have to plant crops under huge domes (圆顶屋) to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial (商业的) development and to make discoveries important to science. The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing (制造业). Operations requiring a vacuum (真空) or extreme cold are examples. Therefore, industrial diamonds might be produced on the moon.

1.The area of the moon is _________.

A. about the same as that of North and South America

B. larger than that of North and South America

C. hardly equal to that of North and South America

D. far smaller than that of North and South America

2.According to this passage, the settlement of the moon ________.

A. will soon be realized

B. can be done under the moon surface

C. is being experimented by many scientists

D. sounds entirely impossible

3.To stay alive on the moon, the early settlers must first of all be able to ________.

A. develop commerce

B. get enough food, oxygen and water

C. make discoveries important

D. explore the possibilities of industrial development

4.Though the environment on the moon is bad for human staying alive, it is very good for ________.

A. making such things as industrial diamonds   B. all kinds of manufactured goods

C. medical operations                      D. commercial development

From now, if all goes well, a high-tech spacecraft will land in the South Pole of the moon. There, it will drill 66 feet down into the surface(表面) and collect samples of the mantle(地幔样本) to bring back to the earth.

But before it leaves, it will have a two-part time capsule(时光胶囊): a public part, full of the Earth’s history, and a private part, full of digital(数码的) memory boxes created by individuals(个人). These memory boxes can hold digital files — records of family trees, videos or actual DNA in the form of human hair. Not everyone can have a digital memory box, though. The boxes are only delivered for the people who donate the money to the project.

The project, called Lunar Mission One, has already raised more than half of its ￡600,000 goal since its launch(启动) just a few days ago. The founders thought that it would succeed because of the attraction of both exploring the moon surface and leaving a time capsule behind. The mission was a technical action, but it was also an emotional one, bringing the excitement of knowing that something humans built on the Earth reached somewhere else in space.

Still, it does seem risky(冒险的) for a person to donate￡60 to keep a digital memory box for a project that won’t come true until 2024. What if the project never takes off? What if the technology isn’t good enough? What if those digital memory boxes break on the moon’s surface? And how will anybody ever even know if that happens? Ian Crawford, a professor at Birkbeck College in London and scientific advisor to the mission, says it is not necessary to worry about these. The plan to leave a time capsule on the moon isn’t really about physically leaving something on the moon — it’s more an opportunity to encourage people’s interest in space.

1.Who can have a digital memory box on the moon?

A. A person who donated￡60 to the project.

B. A person who has records of family trees.

C. A person who is in charge of the project.

D. A person who is interested in exploring the moon.

2.What can be learned about Lunar Mission One from Paragraph 3?

A. The spacecraft was successfully launched just a few days ago.

B. It will explore the moon surface and leave a time capsule on the moon.

C. It was created because of the excitement of knowing something in space.

D. It was a technical action because it was designed with rich emotion.

3.Why does it seem risky to donate￡60 to keep a digital memory box?

A. Because the spacecraft won’t be sent on time.

B. Because the technology isn’t good enough.

C. Because the project won’t come true until 2034.

D. Because there are various possibilities in such a long time.

4.What can be concluded from the last sentence of the passage?

A. Everything about the project will be OK.

B. The time capsule on the moon is not meaningful.

C. The plan to leave a time capsule on the moon is scientific.

D. The message of the project is to call people’s more attention to space.

It is interesting how NASA(美国航空航天管理局)chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men 26  the age of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them, Many were 27  air pilots. 28were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose; told him the plans and the 29  they might get in. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut. “How could any man 30 such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous 31 most exciting”

The health and physical condition of 32 was, of course, very necessary. 33  those in very good health and physical condition were chosen.

While being trained to be astronauts. They went through many 34 . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary 35  astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the 36 of the moon. They were all 37 to fly in helicopters （直升飞机）。These helicopters landed 38 down to give them some experience of the way the spaceship would 39 land on the moon , They were also taught the 40  facts about the conditions in space. They learnt all the technical details of the spaceships and rockets. They visited the scientists and engineers who 41 them. They visited the factories where they were 42. They learnt how every 43 of a space-ship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control 44 .

In a word, to be chosen as an astronaut. One must be in good health, 45  in science and good at piloting.
