Question

【題目】Amelia Lee is an astronaut who will soon be leaving for Mars. Conard Spark interviewed her for Space Tomorrow magazine.

Conrad: Amelia, you’ll be leaving for Mars next Friday. How are the preparations going?

Amelia: Very well. We’ve done years of training to get ready for this journey.

Conrad: How many people are in the crew?

Amelia: There are five of us. The journey to Mars will take nine months, so the five of us will be working and living together in our spaceship for all of that time.

Conrad: That’s a long time!

Amelia: Yes, it is, and in our training, we’ve learnt how to keep our bodies and minds healthy for that length of time. When we arrive on Mars, we’ll meet the people who are living in the Mars Colony.

Conrad: How long will you stay on Mars?

Amelia: We’ll stay there for a year and a half. We’ll do scientific experiments there, and we’ll explore the area around the colony. Then we’ll return to Earth. That will take nine months, too.

Conrad: So, next week, you’ll be saying good bye to your family and friends for three years!

Amelia: Yes. That will be sad, but we all agree that I’m doing a good thing.

Conrad: How do you think you’ll feel next Friday? Will you be nervous?

Amelia: Well, I might feel a little nervous. But mostly I’ll be concentrating on the things I have to do. I have to make sure everything is safe and the spaceship is working properly.

Conrad: I wish you good luck and safe travels.

本文講述了康納德·斯帕克為《太空明天》雜志采訪了阿米莉亞·李。這位宇航員是一名即將前往火星的宇航員，他們有五個人，這次火星之旅將花費9個月的時間，他們會在那里呆一年半。他們將在那里做科學實驗，將探索殖民地周圍的地區(qū)，然后返回地球。這也需要九個月的時間，所以是要離家三年。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Conard Spark interviewed her for Space Tomorrow magazine.”康納德·斯帕克為《太空明天》雜志采訪了Amelia Lee。所以Conard Spark是新聞工作者。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Amelia, you’ll be leaving for Mars next Friday.”及“But mostly I’ll be concentrating on the things I have to do. I have to make sure everything is safe and the spaceship is working properly.”下周五就要去火星了，所以此處是關心飛船和它的工作情況。故選D。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“We’ll stay there for a year and a half.…you’ll be saying good bye to your family and friends for three years!”所以將會離開三年，故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。A. Some people have travelled to Mars before Amelia.有些人在艾米莉亞之前就去過火星；B. Amelia will travel to Mars with five other people. Amelia將和另外五個人一起去火星旅行；C. Conard Spark would like to travel to Mars.Conard Spark想去火星旅行；D. Amelia’s family members are afraid of Amelia.阿米莉亞的家人都怕阿米莉亞；根據(jù)“There are five of us. The journey to Mars will take nine months, so the five of us will be working and living together in our spaceship for all of that time.”所以是五個人，排除B；根據(jù)“We’ll do scientific experiments there, and we’ll explore the area around the colony”我們將在那里做科學實驗，我們將探索殖民地周圍的地區(qū)。排除C；選項D應該是擔心而不是害怕，根據(jù)“When we arrive on Mars, we’ll meet the people who are living in the Mars Colony.”可知是有人在Amelia之前去過，故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Then we’ll return to Earth. That will take nine months, too.”然后我們將返回地球。這也需要九個月的時間，所以指的是回地球，故選B。

【6】最佳標題。根據(jù)“Conard Spark interviewed her for Space Tomorrow magazine.”康納德·斯帕克為《太空明天》雜志采訪了Amelia Lee。所以此處是采訪了一個宇航員，故選B。
