For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.We don’t have beds in the spacecraft, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the ‘bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we’ve chosen to sleep. On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft’s computers call us on the radio. On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit (轨道) the sun “rises” and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it “sets” as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks. It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut (宇航员) sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float (漂浮) up to the flight deck (驾驶舱). Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.36.When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened______.A.on the wallB.to their seatsC.onto the flight deckD.anywhere they like正确答案:A37.Why can all the astronauts sleep at the same time?A.They have to follow the same timetable.B.The radio will take care of the aircraft for them.C.There are enough sleeping bags in the spacecraft.D.There is no need for them to watch over the spacecraft.正确答案:D38.To relax himself before sleep, the writer often______.A.makes a bedB.gets into his bagC.listens to musicD.wears a sleep mask正确答案:C39.How long does it take the spacecraft to go round the Earth?A.Forty minutes.B.Fifty minutes.C.Ninety minutes.D.Twenty-four hours.正确答案:C40.The best title for this passage is______.A.Traveling in SpaceB.Sleeping in the SpacecraftC.Equipment Used by AstronautsD.The Earth Seen from Outer Space正确答案:BTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.
