Astronauts on board the International Space Station（ISS）once made history by taking bites of red romaine lettuce（長(zhǎng)葉萵苣）.They became the first humans to eat food that was grown in space.The lettuce was planted on the ISS in a small greenhouse called "Veggie"，which uses LED lights to help plants grow in space.
First，the astronauts cleaned the lettuce with special sanitizing wipes（消毒紙巾）and then ate it with some salad dressing.
"It was one small bite for man，one giant leap（ 飛躍）for ...our journey to Mars，" one astronaut，Scott Kelly，later posted on social media.
Space vegetables are a part of the NASA experiment called "Veg-01"-a study on how plants grow without the effects of Earth's gravity（重力）.It will allow astronauts to grow and eat their own food during long space explorations.
"If we're ever going to go to Mars someday，we're going to need a spacecraft that is much more self-sustainable （自給自足的） in is food supply，" said Kelly.
Growing fresh plants on a spacecraft may also provide oxygen and help keep astronauts alive，NASA said.
Veg-01 started in May 2014.The first batch （一批） of vegetables took 33 days to grow in space before they were taken back to Earth for a safety check.After making sure they were safe to eat，astronauts planted a second batch on July 8.They let the plant grow for another 33 days and were then able to eat it.Astronauts usually only get vegetables when a supply ship comes to the ISS.Now with vegetables grown in space，they can eat them whenever they want.

1．Whales are the largest living organisms （生物）living on the surface of the earth.An adult blue whale weighs up to 173 tonnes with 30 meters in length.When a whale dies in the ocean，its body usually falls to the sea floor and a special deep-sea ecosystem will be formed in a long time.Scientists give a name to this：the whale fall.
Recently，some scientists on a Chinese research ship called Tansuo-1 found a whale fall at the depth of 1，600 meters in the South China Sea.Whale falls are seldom found by humans.This is the first time China has found this type of ecosystem.So far，less than 50 modern natural whale falls have been found by humans around the world.
The whale fall is really important to deep-sea animals，as it provides food for them.Usually，the whale fall goes through three stages.The first stage comes just after the whale dies.The body attracts lots of big sea animals such as shark and they come to eat the body.This stage lasts from months to years.At the second stage，smaller animals come for the whale's bones and leftovers.This stage can last one or two years.Bacteria （細(xì)菌）play a role at the third stage.They break down what has been left.This stage can last as long as 100 years.
The whale fall found in the South China Sea is 3 meters long.It is still at the first stage.The scientists said it would take them a long time to study the whale fall because they knew it would help them understand the deep-sea ecosystem better.
（1）When whales die in the ocean，most of their bodies usually.
A．a(chǎn)re saved by scientists
B．a(chǎn)re found on the beach
C．float on the ocean surface
D．sink to the bottom of the ocean
（2）The Chinese meaning of the underlined word "ecosystem" is.
A．經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)
B．生態(tài)系統(tǒng)
C．電子信息
D．環(huán)保體系
（3）The whale fall goes through the following stages，and the correct order is.
①Bacteria break down the rest of the whale.②Smaller animals eat the whale's bones.
③The whale dies in the ocean.④Big sea animals eat the whale's body.
A． ③④①②
B． ④③①②
C． ③④②①
D． ④③②①
（4）According to the passage，we know that.
A．a(chǎn)n adult blue whale weighs up to 173 tons
B．some scientists found a whale fall in the South China Sea
C．a(chǎn)t the first stage，smaller animals come for the whale's bones
D．the whale fall found in the South China Sea is in the third stage
（5）The best title for this passage maybe "".
A．The Whale Fall
B．A Chinese Research
C．Whales in the Ocean
D．The Deep-sea Ecosystem發(fā)布：2024/12/27 17:30:2組卷：13引用：3難度：0.5 -
2．Imagine using your coat to look through the internet，send and receive messages，and even read a map.Yes，you read that correctly-your coat.
It may sound silly，but it's something scientists are working on.Researchers at Shanghai's Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display（顯示屏）.
Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make"digital cloth".After testing different combinations，they chose two materials but worked：a silver-plated yarn（鍍銀紗）that can light up and a kind of thread（紡線）that conducts（傳導(dǎo)）electricity.
The results have been admirable.It's not only wearable and fold able，but also washable.After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10，000 times，the cloth remained almost unchanged.
Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things.For example，it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around.It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers（障礙）or disabilities.
In one test，Peng's team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating.The waves were then translated into messages like "anxious" or "relaxed"and shown on the cloth.This could help deaf-mute（聾啞的 ）people "talk" to each other in the future.
"We hope that new materials will shape next-generation electronic devices by changing the way we interact with them."said Peng.
（1）The researchers have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a.
A．digital camera
B．digital display
C．digital method
D．digital communication
（2）The underlined word "meditating" in Paragraph6 meansin Chinese.
A．爭(zhēng)沙
B．打架
C．冥想
D．討論
（3）Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE？
A．The new cloth remained unchanged after it is washed or folded.
B．New materials may shape next-generation electronic devices.
C．The new cloth could help people who have language barriers or disabilities communicate better.
D．The "feeling" shown on the cloth couldn't help deaf-mute people"talk" to each other.發(fā)布：2024/12/31 19:0:6組卷：2引用：1難度：0.3 -
3．①Recently，I have finished four space tasks.I stayed in space for more than 43 days，and complete six spacewalks for 43 hours and 13 minutes，so I have a lot of experience there.Today，I want to share some information unusual：what it's like to eat in space.
②People often ask me if Tang- -a kind of orange drink mix--is still taken in space.Don't laugh，but we still drink it.Today's space foods look like foods we're used to eating every day.Foods，like nuts （堅(jiān)果） or brownies （布朗尼蛋糕），can be taken on board as much as possible.But things like macaroni （通心面） or noodles would be specially prepared，then kept and packaged （打包） to stop them going everywhere .It's a difficult but necessary process.However，food on a space task can be quite rich and various，can't it？
③The microgravity （微重力） on the space station changes things in some ways.For one thing，there is no"up" or "down" in space.It also changes how things taste.On Earth，most of your blood is usually below your heart.In space，you're weightless，so the sharing of blood in your body changes.One result is lowering your sense of taste，at least at first.This happened to me on one task.When I took sugar candy，I wasn't able to taste it until the ninth day.
④Food can be a real happiness in space.For us，eating is more than just getting power and energy.Familiar foods and tastes can remind us of home and keep us feeling that we still keep in touch with Earth.
（1）What is the passage about？
A．Life in space.
B．Eating in space.
C．Exercise in space.
D．Sleeping in space.
（2）Who might the writer be？

C．An astronaut.
D．A police artist.

A．Be of much money.
B．Be of similar taste.
C．Be of the same color.
D．Be of different kinds.
