18.Space is a lonely place.Thousands of kilometers from home,astronauts have a hard life.It's reasonable that,once in a while,they need to have a good cry.But this is a lot harder than it sounds.
We still know little about space and about living in zero gravity.In fact,we are discovering new things every time astronauts take to the sky.As The Atlantic reported,crying is not so simple in space.This is because when a person usually cries,gravity makes their tears move downwards.But in a spaceship,that just isn't so.Here,there is no gravity,which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating around.This means that,strangely,when you cry your tears have nowhere to go.As a result,they just stick to your eyes.
In 2011,astronaut Andrew experienced this."Tears of your eyes,"as he said,"don't fall off…they just stay there."This can be quite painful.In space,your eyes get very dry,and the added water is irritating.Sometimes,things get even stranger.The astronaut Ron told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough,they"break free of the eyes and float around".
No one can be quite sure why we cry.Why should water in our eyes have anything to do with feeling sad?If you stop to think about it,crying is a very strange thing indeed.And now,thanks to the wonders of space,it just gets even stranger.
61.The first paragraph mainly tells us thatC.
A.living in space is lonely 
B.it's easy to feel sad in space
C.it's hard to cry in space 
D.nobody wants to live in space
62.If astronauts cry in a spaceship,their tears willD.
A.move downwards 
B.move upwards
C.go out of the window 
D.stick to their eyes
63.What can we learn from the passage?B
A.In space our eyes are very wet.
B.Tears will float around if they are big enough in space.
C.People know everything about living in zero gravity.
D.Gravity makes people's tears move upwards in space.
64.Astronauts feelA if tears are always in their eyes.
A.uncomfortable B.sad C.comfortable D.happy
65.What is the best title for the passage?D
A.The Wonders of Space 
B.Space,a Lonely Place
C.Zero Gravity in Space 
D.No Tears in Space.

分析 這篇文章說的是關(guān)于太空的知識,離家千公里之外,宇航員的生活艱難,有時候需要哭泣是理所當(dāng)然的,但是哭很困難.當(dāng)人們哭的時候,重力會讓淚水往下流,但在太空,因?yàn)闆]有重力,宇航員是漂浮的,淚水也沒有地方去,只能粘在眼睛周圍.2011年,宇航員安德魯說眼淚掉不下來,那樣更痛苦.淚水會變干,當(dāng)淚水足夠大,它們會漂浮在周圍.沒人確定我們?yōu)槭裁磿,為什么眼中的水與傷感有關(guān)系.現(xiàn)在,由于空間的神奇,它變得更加陌生.

解答 61.答案:C.段意理解題.結(jié)合they need to have a good cry.But this is a lot harder than it sounds.可知是在說在太空哭很難,故選C.
62.答案:D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第二段when you cry,your tears have nowhere to go.As a result,they just stick to your eyes.,當(dāng)你哭時,眼淚無處可去,粘在眼睛周圍.故選D.
63.答案:B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第三段The Atlantic that when tears get big enough,they"break free of the eye and float around".當(dāng)眼淚在太空變得足夠大,他們漂浮在周圍.故選擇B.
64.答案:A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第三段Tears,"as he said,"don't fall off of your eye…they just kind of stay there."This can be quite painful.在太空眼中有淚是很疼的.Sad.難過的,Comfortable.舒服的,Happy.高興的,Uncomfortable不舒服的,與painful意思差不多.故選A.
65.答案:D.標(biāo)題判斷題,結(jié)合第一段But this is a lot harder than it sounds.可知本文是說在太空中哭也不是一件很簡單的事情,在太空由于沒有重力,宇航員都是漂浮著,所以即使是哭,淚水也掉不下來,粘在眼睛周圍,故選D太空沒有眼淚.
