Question

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.

Scientists have found out that the radiation（輻射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.

Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage(損壞).

Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.

A. rubbish B. danger

【解析】

試題分析：隨著空間科學(xué)的發(fā)展，人類已經(jīng)了解越來(lái)越多的太空知識(shí)。太空不僅令人驚嘆，而且危險(xiǎn)。在太空中工作時(shí)，航天員面臨危險(xiǎn)以及成功�？茖W(xué)家們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)輻射是宇航員在太空中最大的危險(xiǎn)。對(duì)于航天員來(lái)說(shuō)太空垃圾也被認(rèn)為是一個(gè)大的危險(xiǎn)。在不久的將來(lái)，人們可能通�；◣滋�住在太空旅館。我們甚至可以選擇離開地球，在太空生活幾年。所以我們應(yīng)該關(guān)心空間和做一些事情來(lái)幫助改善空間環(huán)境。

1.Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.”可知太空中充滿了危險(xiǎn)，故選B。

2.About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish.”可知60%是太空垃圾，故選D。

3..Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years.”可知人們希望進(jìn)入太空，故選C。

4.An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size.”可知前面提及的是爆炸，因此形成了碎片，故選A。

5.主旨大意題。通讀全文知道作者告訴我們太空中充滿了危險(xiǎn)，又指出輻射和太空垃圾是比較大的危險(xiǎn)，故選D。
