In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravityHowever，there are also plenty of things that astronauts cant do because of their weightless environment，and thats very sadWhats worse，they cant even let their sadness showbecause its impossible to cry in zero gravityOf course，astronauts can still produce tearsBut crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in JanuaryWithout gravity，tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on EarthThis means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to gothey just stick to your eyesIn May 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks”Tears，”he said，”dont fall off of your eyesThey just kind of stay there”Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical painBack on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyesBut thats not the case in spaceThe space environment dries out astronautseyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort”My right eye is painful like crazy”Feustel told his teammate during the walkSince gravity doesnt work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tearsFeustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears awayAnother choice is to just wait“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around，”astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic There are lots of small thingsthings like cryingthat we are so used to on EarthWe usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like spaceThere，astronauts cant talk to each other directlyThey also cant eat or drink in normal waysThey cant even burp(打嗝)，because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomachIf they do burp，they just end up throwing up(呕吐)everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space CenterThus，perhaps its only space explorers who can honestly say：”Gravity，youre the best”24According to the text，which of the following is right?AAstronauts will never feel sad in space BTears produced in space dont flow downwardCAstronauts produce bigger tears in spaceDTears produced in space cant be wiped away25What effect do tears have on astronauts in space?AThey cause them physical pain BThey make them see much clearerCThey float around and cause dangerDThey bring them comfort to their eyes.26Whats mainly talked about in paragraph 7?AThings that humans cant do without gravityBHow to cure burping and throwing up in space.CSuggestions on how to stay comfortable in spaceDOther basic things that are difficult to do in space27The text is probably taken from_Aall education report Ba school bulletin.Ca science magazineDa local newspaperCBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your lifeRelationships with family，friends，neighbors，even pets，will all do the trick，but the biggest longevity(长寿)boost seems to come from marriage or an equiva1ent relationshipThe effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr，who wrote that widows(丈夫去世的女士)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peersStudies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womansThe effect holds for all causes of death，whether illness，accident or self-harm Even if the odds are stacked against you，marriage can more than compensateLinda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heartLikewise，a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smokeTheres a flip side，however，as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death，and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problemsEven so，the odds favor marriageIn a 30-year study of more than l0，000 people，Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects So how does it work? The effects are complex，affected by socioeconomic factors，health-service provision，emotional support and other more physiological(生理的)mechanismsFor example，social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system，leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress betterThen there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partnerA life partner，children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to l 00The ultimate social network is still being mapped out，but Christakis says：“People are interconnected，so their health is interconnected”28William Farrs study and other studies show that_.Amarriage can extend ones lifetime a lotBbeing sociable can improve ones quality of life.Cwomen benefit more from marriage than menDsocial life can help one recover from illness.29Linda Waites studies support the idea that_Asmoking does no harm to married men Bmarriage can help make up for ill health.Cthe married are happier than the unmarriedDunmarried people are likely to suffer more in life.30What does Nicholas Christakis say about social networks?AThey serve as the best way to handle stressBThey provide timely support for those in need.CThey help develop peoples community spiritDThey have similar positive effects as a marriage.31What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AWe should share our social networks with each otherBTo stay healthy，one should have a proper social networkCA good relationship can ensure your living to 100DOne can develop relationship more easily with childrenDTraffic problems are an everyday concern in many cities，including Washington，DCA growing number of Washingtonians are turning to bicycles to get to and from workIn fact，the number of commuters who use bicycles has doubled in the city since 2007Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University，popularly known as Virginia TechHe has written a book about urban biking，called City CyclingHe says there is a reason why urban bike tiding is now becoming more popular“Over the last 60 to 70 years，cities in America have adapted to the automobile”“Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate highway system，from the federal government，starting in 1956There was a 90 percent federal match(补贴)so the cities only had to put up 10It was very tempting”In the years after World War Two，many Americans moved to suburban communities，just outside major citiesThey decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbsTheir cars became a symbol of freedomBut today，many people believe they can save money by living in the cityGreg Billing is with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association“When a person makes a change from using a car to using a bike，heshe is saving anywhere between 8 or $9，000 a year”Ralph Buehler says governments save money when people use bicycles“Building bicycling facilities is much cheaper than building and maintaining road facilities or public transport”Washington，DC has also taken steps to protect bike ridersIt approved a safe passing law and created areas on the road between cars and bikesThe United States Census Bureau says 4of the citys workers ride to work by bikeThe only city on the East Coast with more bike commuters is New York32What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?AMore people in Washington，DC go to work by bikeBBikes lead to new problems in Washington，DCCWashington，DC has taken steps to protect bike riders DPeople in Washington，DC prefers cars to bicycles33What can we know from Ralph Buehlers statement?AA lot has been invested to build bicycling facilities in citiesBThe federal government supported building public transportCCities didnt use the money from the government wiselyDUrban biking has been popular in the last 60 to 70 years34In the years after World War Two，many Americans prefer to_Ago to and from work by bike B1ive out of the major citiesCtravel long distances a lot Drent houses rather than buy ones35What do Ralph Buehler and Greg Billing agree with?APublic transport develop too rapidly recent yearsBGovernment should build more bicycle facilitiesCThe cost of living in cities is lower than in the countryDMore people using bicycles can save money第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A garden thats just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you，where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和)of its parts?
