Shortly after I graduated from college， I moved to a new state to start a full-time job. One day at work， I found myself wanting to go traveling. Once Id saved up enough money， I decided it was the perfect opportunity to travel by myself for the first time in my life. So I quickly started doing research on where Id like to go.

I had never traveled alone before， so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going to Thailand. This gave me a sense of security. It felt like a great way not only to try being alone and meeting strangers but also doing something that sounded really fun for two weeks.

The Thailand trip forced me out of so many comfort zones that ended up being one of the big turning points of my life. The time I spent in Thailand finding my way around airports and taxis alone， meeting a group of strangers， and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country， ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. Up until this point I had always been shy and very careful to avoid danger and mistakes， but this travel experience inspired me to become different. It showed me a brave， strong， and independent side of myself that went on to influence my life greatly when I returned home.

When I got back， I pretty much dedicated my life to spending as much time as possible doing activities like climbing， hiking， or backpacking especially things that I once thought I wasnt “capable of” or was “too scared of”. Today， about 6 years later， Im an outdoor empowerment coach and backpacking educator.

My trip to Thailand was just what I needed to make that change. It showed me what was possible. It changed the path of my life.

C. He had a hard time.? ? ? ? ? ? ? D. He felt tired on the trip.

27. How has the author changed after the trip？

A. He made friends more easily. B. He fell in love with traveling.

C. He became a brave outdoor type. D. He started staying away from danger.

Bacteria （細菌） are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms （微生物） from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station， so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem？ Its turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms， like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport， New York.

HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years， Gordons students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity， and they think theyre close to a solution. “We dont give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers，” says Florence Gold， a project manager.

“There are no tests，” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades， other than ‘Are you working towards your goal？ Basically， its ‘Ive got to produce this product and then， at the end of the year， present it to NASA. Engineers come and really do an in-person review， and… its not a very nice thing at times. Its a hard business review of your product.”

Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I dont teach.” And that annoying bacteria？ Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem， readying a workable solution to test in space.

28. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station？

A. They are hard to get rid of. B. They lead to air pollution.

C. They appear in different forms. D. They damage the instruments.

29. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program？

A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships. B. To sharpen students communication skills.

C. To allow students to experience zero gravity. D. To link space technology with school education.

30. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program？

A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs.

C. Adjust work schedules. D. Grade their homework.

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. NASA： The Home of Astronauts B. Space： The Final Homework Frontier

C. Nature： An Outdoor Classroom D. HUNCH： A College Admission Reform

The surface of Mars is etched （蝕刻） with ancient river valleys and lake basins. Some researchers think that liquid water once flowed on the Red Planet. Today， Mars is too cold for much， if any， liquid water to exist. And 3.8 billion years ago， when the flowing water formed， the sun was fainter than it is today， making it even harder to imagine a warm Martian climate. Thats why many researchers think Mars may have gone in and out of deep freezes.

Some researchers have suggested that early Mars only melt when large asteroid （小行星） impacts or volcanic eruptions temporarily warmed the planet. But Kasting， a geologist at Pennsylvania State University thinks warm windows from such dramatic events would have been too brief to carve the vast valleys that exist on Mars. Now， Kasting and his colleagues have come up with an alternative explanation： They think Mars may have experienced a series of climate cycles caused by changes in the strength of the greenhouse effect.

The idea goes like this： When Mars was cold and frozen， volcanoes continued to erupt the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere. There， the gas blanket trapped heat and warmed the planet up until liquid water began to flow， forming Mars rivers and lakes. However， warm temperatures and abundant （充裕的） water would also have sped up certain chemical reactions that consumed carbon dioxide， mitigating the greenhouse effect and cooling the planet back down again. Then the cycle would repeat.

Kasting shared his theory with other astronomers at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco， and in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. So far， Kastings team has only shown that such an explanation is possible. But the researchers say field trips could help test the idea by looking for evidence of multiple warm events， and their duration.

32. What made researchers believe that liquid water once existed on Mars？

A. The color of the planet. B. The natural climate of Mars.

C. The temperatures of the sun. D. The geological features of Mars.

33. What is Kastings theory based on？

A. Large asteroids had no impact on Mars. B. Volcanic eruptions were frequent on Mars.

C. Valleys couldnt be formed in a short time. D. Carbon dioxide was abundant in the atmosphere.

34. What does the underlined word “mitigating” in Paragraph 3 mean？

A. Imitating. B. Reducing. C. Predicting. D. Enhancing.

35. Which of the following might confirm Kastings theory？

A. The future Mars missions. B. The publication of the journal.

C. The design of the climate model. D. The cooperation with astronomers.

Since humans successfully put their first object into space， its been much easier to launch a satellite， but a lot messier once were up there. 36 There are around 5，000 satellites in orbit with fewer than half actually working. When a satellite stops functioning， it keeps orbiting at very high speeds， making a great threat to the useful ones.

So space sustainability has become a big concern. 37 One suggested solution is to refuel the dead satellites and bring them back to life. Another concept is to use a robot with four arms to catch a dead satellite before pulling it into the atmosphere to burn it up.

38 Operating a robot from hundreds of miles away is tough. And the world hasnt yet reached a consensus （共識） on why we should clear the space junk and there are no real rules that govern how we work out there.

First why should we keep things clean in orbit？ We use satellites to check the weather， find our way around， and for financial purposes. Space data gives us not just beautiful pictures of the Earth， but also information about climate change， natural disasters and other things that can help humans with earthbound challenges. 39

Then how can we humans think as one big community？ Governments should make powerful regulations. Companies ought to engage in shared practices and scientists are expected to think up practical methods. 40 Only in this way can we keep those orbital highways open for the next generation and beyond before they are deadly blocked by space junk.

A. They provide services closely related to our life.

B. This is hard both technically and politically， though.

C. Anyway， we should quicken the pace of clearing up.

D. Space is getting increasingly crowded and dangerous.

E. So we depend largely on space and it needs to be tidied up.

F. Scientists are struggling for strategies to tackle the problem.

G. All of these have been made into the solutions we really need.

Similar 65 a spinning bike， the bike has been fixed on the side of a wall. The astronauts cycle hard against resistance （阻力） generated by electromagnetic （電磁的） force or other means 66 （exercise） their legs and keep their bones and muscles strong during the long-term orbital flight.

The space treadmill has been equipped with gravity 67 （simulator） so that the astronauts can exercise in normal gravity， just as on Earth， which builds up their muscles and compresses the bones to stimulate bone 68 （reconstruct）.

The astronauts also use pull bands for daily exercises. They work out for about two hours daily and each of their exercises are 69 （careful） designed to stimulate and exercise the bones and muscles.
