三、课文语法填空
Living in space is every would-be ____________(astronaut) dream. My six-month stay on a space station has come to an end, and it has been a ____________ (challenge) but magical adventure. I bet you'd love to know ____________ daily life is like up in space and how it differs from ____________ on the Earth—the low gravity ____________ (definite) makes ordinary things strange!
在太空生活是每个想成为宇航员的人的梦想。我在空间站待了六个月已经走到了尽头，这是一次充满挑战但又充满魔力的冒险。我敢打赌，你一定很想知道太空中的日常生活是什么样子的，以及它与地球上的生活有何不同——低重力绝对会让平凡的事情变得奇怪!
The ____________(strange) of living in space is apparent from the moment we sleep. Due to the near ____________(absent) of gravity in space, we have to attach ____________(we) so that we don't float around. We usually sleep in ____________ (privacy) quarters, ____________ are more like large cupboards, or in sleeping bags attached ___________ the walls or the ceiling. It's strange that we try to sleep ____________ no pressure against our back, but the unusual beds don't bother us any more. After about eight ___________(hour) of sleep, we start our day of work.
从我们睡觉的那一刻起，生活在太空中的陌生感就显而易见了。由于太空中几乎没有重力，我们必须把自己固定起来，这样才不会到处飘。我们通常睡在私人房间里，更像一个大橱柜，或者睡在贴在墙上或天花板上的睡袋里。奇怪的是，我们试图在没有压力的情况下睡觉，但不寻常的床不再打扰我们了。大约八个小时的睡眠后，我们开始一天的工作。
The routine tasks that occupy most of the day are ____________(demand), ____________ they can also extremely rewarding. Our main mission is ____________(conduct) scientific research. We need to evaluate the effects of low gravity ____________ animals and plants. Creatures such as ____________(mouse), fish and mosquitoes have also been sent to the station! In a low-gravity environment, we can learn more about changes in cells ____________ microorganisms under the microscope. As well as ____________(do) these biological experiments, we carry out experiments in other research fields. I ______________(work) on one experiment which locates and tracks lightning over large regions of the Earth. ____________(hope), it will cast new light on the Earth's climate and lead to better lightning protection. With so much ____________(go) on, the space station needs a lot of maintenance, so we constantly check support systems ____________ do some cleaning.
日常工作占据了一天的大部分时间，要求很高，但它们也可以是非常有益的。我们的主要任务是进行科学研究。我们需要评估低重力对动植物的影响。老鼠、鱼和蚊子等生物也被送到了车站!在低重力环境下，我们可以在显微镜下更多地了解细胞和微生物的变化。在做这些生物实验的同时，我们还进行其他研究领域的实验。我一直在做一个实验，在地球的大范围内定位和追踪闪电。希望它能给地球气候提供新的线索，并带来更好的防雷技术。有这么多的事情发生，空间站需要大量的维护，所以我们不断检查支持系统，做一些清洁。
The most challenging work takes place ____________ we need to perform tasks outside the space station, such as testing new equipment, monitoring scientific experiments ____________ repairing the space station. In the circumstances, it's time ____________ a spacewalk. First, we put on our spacesuits, ____________allow us to breathe in space and protect us from ____________(expose) to the cold and radiation. Then we head out, and sometimes perform tasks for hours at a time, with the beautiful Earth visible below. Splendid ____________ the view of the Earth is, spacewalking is not as exciting as you might think. It's ____________(probable) the most dangerous work, with potential risks such as electric shocks. That's ____________ every spacewalk is carefully planned.
最具挑战性的工作发生在我们需要在空间站之外执行任务的时候，比如测试新设备、监测科学实验或修复空间站。在这种情况下，是时候进行太空行走了。首先，我们穿上宇航服，宇航服可以让我们在太空中呼吸，保护我们免受寒冷和辐射的伤害。然后我们出发，有时一次执行几个小时的任务，看到下面美丽的地球。虽然地球上的景色很壮观，但太空行走并不像你想象的那么令人兴奋。这可能是最危险的工作，有潜在的危险，比如触电。这就是为什么每次太空行走都是经过精心策划的。
In view of the low-gravity environment, eating ____________(be) also different in space. Most food is dried or freeze-dried. It's a luxury to eat fresh food, ____________ fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables can only be delivered to the space station from the Earth every couple of months. Salt and pepper ____________(be) only in liquid form, so that they will not float away and block the air pipes. ____________, liquids can't be easily controlled in space. We must drink water or any other liquids out of a bag through a thin tube of plastic. ____________, to keep our body healthy, we must ensure a ____________(balance) supply of nutrients by taking pills.
考虑到低重力环境，在太空中进食也有所不同。大多数食物是干燥的或冷冻干燥的。吃新鲜的食物是一件奢侈的事情，因为像水果和蔬菜这样的新鲜农产品只能每隔几个月从地球送到空间站。盐和胡椒只以液体的形式存在，所以它们不会漂浮而堵塞空气管道。然而，液体在太空中不容易控制。我们必须通过一根细塑料管从袋子里喝水或其他液体。此外，为了保持我们的身体健康，我们必须通过吃药来保证营养的均衡供应。
____________(spend) some time in the gym is of vital importance to astronauts' health. Did you know that in just five months, astronauts could lose a ____________(significance) amount of muscle and bone mass ____________(Consider) these negative effects low gravity has on the human body, we discipline ourselves to do at least two hours of exercise every day. Exercise in space is not your average workout. We have to be tied onto specially ____________(design) exercise equipment to stop ourselves ____________floating around.
花些时间健身对宇航员的健康至关重要。你知道在仅仅5个月的时间里宇航员就可能会失去相当多的肌肉量和骨量吗 考虑到低重力对人体的这些负面影响，我们严格要求自己每天至少锻炼两个小时。在太空中锻炼跟平常的锻炼不一样。我们必须被绑在特殊设计的运动器材上，以防止自己四处飘浮。
During our leisure time, there's nothing we like ____________(much) than to sit back with the rest of the crew and watch our remarkable planet go by, ____________(take) pictures for our family and friends back home. As the space station travels ____________ a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour, we get to see the sunrise every 90 minutes. In these precious ____________(moment), all the challenges of life in space seem worth it.
在闲暇时间，我们最喜欢做的就是和其他宇航员一起舒服地坐下来，看着我们非凡的星球从身边经过，为在地球上的家人和朋友拍些照片。由于空间站以每小时约17，500英里的速度运行，每隔90分钟我们就能看到一次日出。在这些珍贵的时刻，太空生活的所有挑战似乎都是值得的。
