Armenian musician Astrid Poghosyan, a 28 year-old violinist, takes great pride in the Chinese name she picked for herself, Ma Xingxing. This summer, she has been busy making preparations for a series of in-person and online music events and cultural exchange programs. Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects which she takes part in, whether they are online or online events, as she believes that every little effort will help her realize her music related dreams.
“I believe music knows no borders (边界), and cultural exchanges through music are especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病),” she said. Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand, skilled at the country’s language and culture. Such a multicultural background has certainly helped her stand out at her present job. For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is a far cry from when she first came to China in 2009 to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. At that time, Poghosyan could not speak a word of Chinese. “And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.”
She has a strong desire for Chinese movies, traditional festivals and history stories, all of which helped her through the difficult language-learning process. As she gradually buried herself in the Chinese language and culture, she also started to make Chinese friends and explore the energetic city life of Shanghai.
“Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been impressed by the kindness of the people here,” she said. “Even when I couldn’t speak Chinese, in the first days, everyone I met gave me a big smile. Their smiles have made me feel the warmth of the city.”
4. What do we know about Astrid Poghosyan
A. She is proud of her talent in music.
B. She came to China when she was 16.
C. She spoke Chinese well when young.
D. She usually has music lessons online.
5. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. Every country has its unique music and culture.
B. COVID-19 pandemic prevented music spreading.
C. Poghosyan’s life is quite different from that in the past.
D. Poghosyan’s high-school-level English helped her a lot.
6. What helped Poghosyan go through the hard language-learning process
A. Her love for Chinese culture. B. Her wonderful social ability.
C. Her exploration of the city. D. Her teacher’s encouragement.
7. What does Astrid Poghosyan think of Shanghai people
A. Energetic. B. Selfish.
C. Humorous. D. Friendly.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Armenian musician Astrid Poghosyan, a 28 year-old violinist, takes great pride in the Chinese name she picked for herself, Ma Xingxing.（亚美尼亚音乐家Astrid Poghosyan，一位28岁的小提琴手，为她给自己取的中文名字感到非常自豪，马星星。）”和第二段“Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand, skilled at the country’s language and culture.（在中国学习和工作了12年后，Poghosyan现在已经成为一个真正的中国通，精通中国的语言和文化）”可知，28-12=16，她16岁的时候来到中国。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is a far cry from when she first came to China in 2009 to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.（对于Poghosyan来说，她现在的生活与她2009年第一次来中国在上海音乐学院学习小提琴时大不相同。）”可推知，Poghosyan现在的生活与过去大不相同。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“She has a strong desire for Chinese movies, traditional festivals and history stories, all of which helped her through the difficult language-learning process.（她对中国电影、传统节日和历史故事有着强烈的渴望，所有这些都帮助她度过了艰难的语言学习过程。）”可知，中国电影、传统节日和历史故事都是中国文化的代表，所以是她对中国文化的热爱帮助她度过了艰难的语言学习过程。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been impressed by the kindness of the people here.(自从我第一次来到上海，我就一直被这里人们的友善所打动)”可知，在Poghosyan眼里，上海人是很友好的。故选D项。
C
Are you really boring Or is it just in your head The first crucial step, which you absolutely mustn’t skip, is to question this idea that you are boring, check it rationally (理性地), and try to determine if indeed it’s true.
You see, of all the people I’ve coached over the last 7+ years who believed they’re boring, getting to know them and their conversation style, for well over half of them I’ve concluded that this belief was just in their head. It was a false, limiting belief; and they came to see that too. So, statistically, there is at least a 50% chance that you’re not really boring. Think about this, very seriously.
If indeed you discover that the idea you’re boring is mostly a limiting belief, then it’s important to begin ignoring it and change your behavior accordingly. Try to open up, talk to people more and be more social, reminding yourself it’s okay to do so.
More important thought is to understand that the limiting belief you’re boring reflects a lack of confidence, and work on fixing this deeper issue. Only by learning to believe in yourself and gaining self-confidence will you be able to fully and permanently dismiss the perception that you are boring.
Now, confidence building is no invaluable process. It involves certain steps and actions, which if done correctly, lead to visible progress at a rapid pace. I lack the space here to go deeper into this topic, but I have created a special presentation in which I discuss it in detail.
Go here to watch the presentation and learn my step-by-step process for improving yourself-confidence and social confidence, which has been used successfully by hundreds of people before you. And make sure you watch it all the way.
8. Why does the author ask two questions in the first paragraph
A. To criticize the phenomenon. B. To introduce the topic interestingly.
C. To ask readers to answer them. D. To show the author’s questions.
9. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. When we feel boring, then we are really boring.
B. The belief that we are boring just doesn’t exist.
C. Over a half people who are boring are not really boring
D. The statistics show that people actually don’t feel boring.
10. Why do we hold the limiting belief that we are boring
A. Because we have plenty of time and have nothing else to do.
B. Because we lack confidence and deeper work on the issue.
C. Because we don’t work on fixing this deeper issue.
D. Because we should dismiss the perception of being boring.
11. What is the presentation mentioned in the last paragraph about
A. Certain steps and actions to improve one’s self and social confidence.
B. Some step-by-step process to lead to quick progress in learning.
C. Some step-by-step process to lead to success in the future.
D. Tips to help bored people to relieve their stress in lack of confidence.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了关于感到无聊的问题，分析了无聊背后的原因以及如何改变这一情况。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Are you really boring Or is it just in your head The first crucial step, which you absolutely mustn’t skip, is to question this idea that you are boring, check it rationally (理性地), and try to determine if indeed it’s true.(你真的很无聊吗？还是只是你的幻觉？关键的第一步，你绝对不能跳过，那就是质疑你很无聊的想法，理性地检查一下，并试着确定它是否真的是真的)”结合下文对人们是否真的感到无聊的陈述可推知，作者在第一段问了两个问题是为了有趣地介绍这个话题。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“You see, of all the people I’ve coached over the last 7+ years who believed they’re boring, getting to know them and their conversation style, for well over half of them I’ve concluded that this belief was just in their head. It was a false, limiting belief; and they came to see that too. So, statistically, there is at least a 50% chance that you’re not really boring. Think about this, very seriously.(你看，在过去7年多的时间里，我指导过的所有认为自己很无聊的人，在了解他们和他们的谈话风格之后，我得出的结论是，超过一半的人都认为自己很无聊。这是一种错误的、局限的信念；他们也明白了。所以，从统计学上来说，至少有50%的可能性你不是真的无聊。认真想想这个问题)”可知，第二段主要告诉我们半数以上无聊的人并不是真的无聊。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“More important thought is to understand that the limiting belief you’re boring reflects a lack of confidence, and work on fixing this deeper issue.(更重要的是要明白，你无聊的限制性信念反映了缺乏自信，并努力解决这个更深层次的问题)”可知，我们会认为自己很无聊是因为我们在这个问题上缺乏信心以及更深入解决这个问题。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Go here to watch the presentation and learn my step-by-step process for improving yourself-confidence and social confidence, which has been used successfully by hundreds of people before you. (去这里观看我的演讲，学习我的一步一步提高你的自信和社交自信的方法，在你之前已经有数百人成功地使用过了)”可知，最后一段提到的演讲主要关于提高自我和社会自信的某些步骤和行动。故选A。
D
Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
12. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.
C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
13. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds.
C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes.
14. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A. How far they are able to see.
B. How they track moving objects.
C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-Sorters
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种原产于澳大拉西亚的会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. ”（虽然人们不知道这些鸟在野外会使用工具，但事实证明，它们在关在笼子里时就能熟练地使用工具）根据第二段第三句“In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. ”(在实验中，戈芬的鹦鹉能够在大多数情况下仅通过视觉识别来选择合适的工具。)可知，凤头鹦鹉在实验中用工具从盒子里取坚果。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age ”(在人类身上，婴儿从一岁左右就可以把一个圆形的物品放进一个圆形的洞里)可知，一岁儿童最有可能完成“将一个球放进一个圆形的洞里”的任务。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues, or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.”(根据研究人员的说法，下一步是尝试弄清楚凤头鹦鹉是完全依靠视觉线索，还是也使用触觉来选择形状)可知，后续测试的目的是了解凤头鹦鹉在测试中是否使用触觉。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Coffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. ”(戈芬的凤头鹦鹉是一种原产于大洋洲的小鹦鹉，它的形状识别能力与两岁的人类相似)可知，文章主要介绍了一种会识别形状的凤头鹦鹉。故选D。

第二节 (共5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How is eating in space different from eating on Earth
If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). ____16____ Providing junk food to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts unhealthy.
____17____ If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission(task) want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack (缺少) of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill(洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. ____18____ A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
____19____ The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. ____20____ Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A. Taste is also important.
B. Finally, weight is an important concern.
C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D. Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E. Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider.
F. For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board.
G. Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. B 20. C

【18题详解】
本段主旨句“The lack (缺少) of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space.”(宇宙飞船缺乏重力(拉力)也决定了在太空中什么食物可以吃，什么食物不能吃)说明了重力也是宇航员饮食中需要考虑的因素之一；后文“A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.”说明了刀在太空舱到处弹跳是危险的；F选项“同样的原因，锋利的刀和人在船上从不使用”中的knife与后文的knife相对应，the same reason就是指开头的The lack (缺少) of gravity (pull) ，符合题意。故选F项。
【19题详解】
后文“The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. ”(必须计算航天器中每个物体的重量，以确保有足够的燃料和动力将航天器安全送入太空并返回地球)说明了重量也是宇航员饮食中要考虑的因素；B选项“最后，重量是一个重要的问题”与后文的weight相对应，且finally与前文也形成了并列关系，符合题意。故选B项。
【20题详解】
后文“Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.”(大多数食物都储存在塑料袋里，而且这些食物经常是脱水的。当宇航员准备吃东西时，就会把热水加到饭里并把它加热)说明了宇航员食物的包装方式；C选项“食品包装要尽可能的轻”中的packing与 后文的stored相对应，light与本段的论点weight相对应，符合题意。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the fanciest restaurant in town, Emily’s most recent date, Nathaniel, talked about his boats, horses, and real estate (房地产) collection. He was exactly the kind of man her parents wanted her to marry, but she was unimpressed. Suddenly, a quarrel at the door caught her attention.
“Please, I just want some fries!” an old woman in cheap clothing begged. Emily fixed her eyes on her bare feet and frowned. Being barefoot was unacceptable at any restaurant. The waiter was displeased and tried to drive her out, but something in Emily’s heart told her to stand up. “Wait a second,” she said to the waiter. “She’s with me.”
The waiter’s eyes widened as Emily gestured for the woman to join her table. Nathaniel’s face turned red. “What are you doing, Emily ” he demanded, whispering although the old woman could hear him.
“I’m inviting this woman to sit with us. Is that a problem ” she asked sweetly. The old woman introduced herself as Martha.
“Yes, it is!” Nathaniel replied, throwing his cloth napkin on the table, standing up quickly and going out angrily.
“Bye!” she waved at him as she sat down. Her voice termed sympathetic and kind as she looked at Martha. “Now, what’s going on Can you tell me why you’re here And why are you barefoot ”
“Oh, madam. You didn’t have to invite me to your table,” Martha shook her bead. “I just wanted some fries for my grandson. He’s just been so sick, and I can’t get him to eat anything. He told me he only wants some fries. So I sold my shoes to a man walking by and he gave me enough for some.”
“May I ask, why not go to a fast food place ” Emily said gently.
“Well, this place was closer. It’s too hot outside for me to walk much farther without shoes,” Martha answered. The woman continued telling her story. She and her grandson had been living on the streets for a few years since her daughter died, and they couldn’t afford rent because no one would hire her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Emily’s eyes watered as she took off her shoes.

The other guests put their shoes back on.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Emily’s eyes watered as she took off her shoes. “First of all, take my shoes. You can’t walk around barefoot,” Emily said, trying to hold herself together. “No, let me give her my shoes,” another customer at the restaurant told Emily, who had approached their table. Then, Emily noticed with wide eyes that everyone else had been looking at them and heard the entire conversation. All of them had their shoes in their hands. Finally, Martha put on Emily’s shoes — a simple pair of flats.
The other guests put their shoes back on. They collected money and gave it to Martha. The waiter came with an order of fries packed in a box and a few other boxes with more food. He apologized to Martha. Emily decided to do more for them. She helped Martha get her grandson admitted into a hospital and ensured they would give him as many fries as he wanted during his stay. She later got Martha a job at one of the local supermarkets. The scene in the restaurant was the most moving display Emily had ever seen. At that moment, she felt hopeful for the world.

Armenian musician Astrid Poghosyan, a 28 year-old violinist, takes great pride in the Chinese name she picked for herself, Ma Xingxing. This summer, she has been busy making preparations for a series of in-person and online music events and cultural exchange programs. Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects which she takes part in, whether they are online or online events, as she believes that every little effort will help her realize her music related dreams.
“I believe music knows no borders (边界), and cultural exchanges through music are especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病),” she said. Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand, skilled at the country’s language and culture. Such a multicultural background has certainly helped her stand out at her present job. For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is a far cry from when she first came to China in 2009 to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. At that time, Poghosyan could not speak a word of Chinese. “And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.”
She has a strong desire for Chinese movies, traditional festivals and history stories, all of which helped her through the difficult language-learning process. As she gradually buried herself in the Chinese language and culture, she also started to make Chinese friends and explore the energetic city life of Shanghai.
“Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been impressed by the kindness of the people here,” she said. “Even when I couldn’t speak Chinese, in the first days, everyone I met gave me a big smile. Their smiles have made me feel the warmth of the city.”
4. What do we know about Astrid Poghosyan
A. She is proud of her talent in music.
B. She came to China when she was 16.
C. She spoke Chinese well when young.
D. She usually has music lessons online.
5. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. Every country has its unique music and culture.
B. COVID-19 pandemic prevented music spreading.
C. Poghosyan’s life is quite different from that in the past.
D. Poghosyan’s high-school-level English helped her a lot.
6. What helped Poghosyan go through the hard language-learning process
A. Her love for Chinese culture. B. Her wonderful social ability.
C. Her exploration of the city. D. Her teacher’s encouragement.
7. What does Astrid Poghosyan think of Shanghai people
A. Energetic. B. Selfish.
C. Humorous. D. Friendly.

Are you really boring Or is it just in your head The first crucial step, which you absolutely mustn’t skip, is to question this idea that you are boring, check it rationally (理性地), and try to determine if indeed it’s true.
You see, of all the people I’ve coached over the last 7+ years who believed they’re boring, getting to know them and their conversation style, for well over half of them I’ve concluded that this belief was just in their head. It was a false, limiting belief; and they came to see that too. So, statistically, there is at least a 50% chance that you’re not really boring. Think about this, very seriously.
If indeed you discover that the idea you’re boring is mostly a limiting belief, then it’s important to begin ignoring it and change your behavior accordingly. Try to open up, talk to people more and be more social, reminding yourself it’s okay to do so.
More important thought is to understand that the limiting belief you’re boring reflects a lack of confidence, and work on fixing this deeper issue. Only by learning to believe in yourself and gaining self-confidence will you be able to fully and permanently dismiss the perception that you are boring.
Now, confidence building is no invaluable process. It involves certain steps and actions, which if done correctly, lead to visible progress at a rapid pace. I lack the space here to go deeper into this topic, but I have created a special presentation in which I discuss it in detail.
Go here to watch the presentation and learn my step-by-step process for improving yourself-confidence and social confidence, which has been used successfully by hundreds of people before you. And make sure you watch it all the way.
8. Why does the author ask two questions in the first paragraph
A. To criticize the phenomenon. B. To introduce the topic interestingly.
C. To ask readers to answer them. D. To show the author’s questions.
9. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. When we feel boring, then we are really boring.
B. The belief that we are boring just doesn’t exist.
C. Over a half people who are boring are not really boring
D. The statistics show that people actually don’t feel boring.
10. Why do we hold the limiting belief that we are boring
A. Because we have plenty of time and have nothing else to do.
B. Because we lack confidence and deeper work on the issue.
C. Because we don’t work on fixing this deeper issue.
D. Because we should dismiss the perception of being boring.
11. What is the presentation mentioned in the last paragraph about
A. Certain steps and actions to improve one’s self and social confidence.
B. Some step-by-step process to lead to quick progress in learning.
C. Some step-by-step process to lead to success in the future.
D. Tips to help bored people to relieve their stress in lack of confidence.

Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped “keys” to choose from. Inserting the correct “key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
12. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.
C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
13. Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds.
C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes.
14. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A. How far they are able to see.
B. How they track moving objects.
C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos: Skillful Shape-Sorters

If you’ve ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn’t feel well, you’ll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission(task) want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack (缺少) of gravity (pull) in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won’t spill(洒落/溢出) into the cabin (one of the areas inside a spacecraft). Water or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it. ____18____ A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
____19____ The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated (计算) in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and back home again. ____20____ Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (使脱水). When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A Taste is also important.
B. Finally, weight is an important concern.
C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D. Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E. Nutrition and practicality(实用) are important things to consider.
F. For the same reason, sharp knives and folks are never used on board.
G. Keeping astronauts’ physical health is a top task for any space mission.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the fanciest restaurant in town, Emily’s most recent date, Nathaniel, talked about his boats, horses, and real estate (房地产) collection. He was exactly the kind of man her parents wanted her to marry, but she was unimpressed. Suddenly, a quarrel at the door caught her attention.
“Please, I just want some fries!” an old woman in cheap clothing begged. Emily fixed her eyes on her bare feet and frowned. Being barefoot was unacceptable at any restaurant. The waiter was displeased and tried to drive her out, but something in Emily’s heart told her to stand up. “Wait a second,” she said to the waiter. “She’s with me.”
The waiter’s eyes widened as Emily gestured for the woman to join her table. Nathaniel’s face turned red. “What are you doing, Emily ” he demanded, whispering although the old woman could hear him.
“I’m inviting this woman to sit with us. Is that a problem ” she asked sweetly. The old woman introduced herself as Martha.
“Yes, it is!” Nathaniel replied, throwing his cloth napkin on the table, standing up quickly and going out angrily.
“Bye!” she waved at him as she sat down. Her voice termed sympathetic and kind as she looked at Martha. “Now, what’s going on Can you tell me why you’re here And why are you barefoot ”
“Oh, madam. You didn’t have to invite me to your table,” Martha shook her bead. “I just wanted some fries for my grandson. He’s just been so sick, and I can’t get him to eat anything. He told me he only wants some fries. So I sold my shoes to a man walking by and he gave me enough for some.”
“May I ask, why not go to a fast food place ” Emily said gently.
“Well, this place was closer. It’s too hot outside for me to walk much farther without shoes,” Martha answered. The woman continued telling her story. She and her grandson had been living on the streets for a few years since her daughter died, and they couldn’t afford rent because no one would hire her.
