China successfully landed its first Mars rover Zhurong in 2021. What do you know about this achievement or other achievements China has made in space exploration
I know about China’s Tianwen-1 Mars probe which was launched successfully on 23 July 2020. In February 2021 it entered the Mars orbit and sent back its first picture of the planet. The name “Tianwen” comes from one poem written by Quyuan, literally meaning “Questions to Heaven”. The Mars rover Zhurong carried a variety of instruments and cameras to help with its scientific research. Zhurong successfully landed on the Red Planet on 15 May 2021 and then sent back its first images from the surface of Mars. Tianwen-1 is China’s first Mars mission and it is the first phase of the country’s deep space and interplanetary exploration. It is setting the stage for China’s future interplanetary missions to near-Earth objects and the Jupiter system.

What other major breakthroughs in space exploration do you know about
I know about the first image of a black hole that was released in April 2019. In 2017 a network of linked radio telescopes around the world made observations of a distant galaxy that contained a massive black hole at its centre. No human had ever seen an actual picture of a black hole before, so these observations resulted in this historic image. It was the first time that we had been able to determine what a black
hole might look like and the discovery also revealed more support for Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

Another proper title of the text is “__________”.

1. How do astronauts sleep in space
They usually sleep in private quarters or sleeping bags.
2. What routine tasks do astronauts do on the space station
They conduct scientific research and do a lot of maintenance.
Questions 1, 2, 3 & 4 in A2
3. What do spacesuits allow astronauts to do
They allow them to breathe in space.
Questions 1, 2, 3 & 4 in A2
4. How do astronauts drink water or any other liquids

A. Sleeping. B. Conducting experiments.
C. Spacewalking. D. Feeding and drinking.
In the author’s opinion, which is the most dangerous in space

5. Why do astronauts need to spend some time in the gym
The near absence of gravity makes them lose muscle and bone mass and going to the gym helps prevent this.
Question 5 in A2
A. Preparations for a spacewalk.
B. Experiments and equipment.
C. All kinds of activities in space.
D. Performing tasks outside the station.
In the second sentence of paragraph 4, what does the word “circumstances” refer to

1. What do you think of daily life on a space station Use details from the lecture transcript to support your opinion.
I think that daily life on a space station can be challenging but also exciting.
Normal daily activities that are done without effort by us down on the Earth present a challenge to the astronauts on the space station. For example, the lecturer describes how to sleep in space: “... we have to attach ourselves so that we don’t float around.” and “It’s strange that we try to sleep with no pressure against our back ...”, which shows it is very inconvenient and uncomfortable to sleep in a low-gravity environment.
A3
In addition, “It’s a luxury to eat fresh food” and the astronauts eat “dried or freeze-dried” food. Also, they “must drink water or any other liquids out of a bag through a thin tube of plastic”. This shows eating on the space station greatly differs from that on the Earth. However, the idea that astronauts can do something most people could never do is mind-blowing. The spacewalk is described by the lecturer as “probably the most dangerous work, with potential risks such as electric shocks”, but living in space with the feeling of freedom must be a life-changing experience. Besides, they are able to enjoy the splendid view of the Earth below their feet!

2. Choose the best answer.
A. Visiting Disneyland.
B. Wearing attractive clothes.
C. Acting Mickey Mouse.
D. Dressing up and walking around.
(2) Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed. What does the word “This” refer to
A. Jazz becoming more accessible.
B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young.
D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
(3) Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. What does the word “that” refer to
