【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 hree men and three women who have no access to fresh food and limited access to Inter that requires 20minute intervals between click and response, as it might be in deep space. They are allowed to step outside their igloolike enclosure — which measures 11 meters in diameter and six meters tall — only if wearing a space suit. ―We are surrounded by basaltic lava(玄武巖火山石 ) and living on the slopes of Mauna Loa where there is little evidence of plant or animal life,‖ wrote crew member Jocelyn Dunn, a doctor at Purdue University‘s School of Industrial Engineering, after her first day in the dome on October 17. ―The training wheels are ing off as our new reality is setting in,‖ Dunn wrote on her blog, which she plans to update throughout the mission. NASA is spending $ million on a series of three such projects known as Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HISEAS) to determine the potential risks of sending people together to spend long periods on a distant pla. NASA is aiming for a human mission to Mars by the 2030s, but experts are still not sure if humans can withstand the radiation that the journey would involve. It could take eight months to reach the Red Pla, not to mention time spent on it with a thin atmosphere and no known food source, followed by an attempt at returning to Earth. One recent study found that with the current limits of technology, adventurers to Mars would start dying in 68 days. Another study this week said the risk of radiationinduced cancer would limit any trip to one year. NASA considers it just as important to study whether people‘s mental states could hold up under the pressure of a Mars journey, said principal investigator Kim Binsted. Both crew psychology and radiation are considered ―red risks‖ for Mars, ―which means essentially, until we solve these problems, we are not going,‖ Binsted told AFP. Binsted is coordinating the experiment from the outside the dome. Those inside are healthy, educated people in their 20s and 30s, each with a keen interest in science and space. ―It is kind of the opposite of a reality show. We select against drama.‖ explained Binsted. ―We try to pick a crew that will get along with each other. We pick generally levelheaded and easygoing people.‖ They include Allen Mirkadyrov, an aerospace engineer for and Neil Scheibelhut, a microbiologist and former soldier in Iraq. Sophie Milam is an expert in robotics who is pursuing a master‘s degree in engineering, and Zak Wilson is a mechanical engineer. The mander is Canadianborn Martha Lenio, who earned a doctor degree in engineering and has worked in the sustainable building industry, according to her biography. As time wears on, experts want to see how they get along with each other, and how they relate to mission control. One potential problem may e late in the game, when a depression known as ―thirdquarter syndrome‖ kicks in. There is also the issue of munication breakdown between the crew and ground control, which happens often in these kinds of missions, Binsted said. 32. ―A white dome‖ in Paragraph 1 is the same place as _______. A. ―deep space‖ in paragraph 2 B. ―their igloolike enclosure‖ in Paragraph 3 C. ―the slopes of Mauna Loa‖in Paragraph 4 D. ―Purdue University‘s School of Industrial Engineering‖ in Paragraph 4 33. What is the aim of Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HISEAS)? A. To reduce the time to reach Mars to less than 8 months. B. To make sure if humans can withstand the radiation involved in the journey. C. To find out the possible risks of having people travel to Mars and stay there. D. To aim for a human mission to Mars by the 2030s. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. it is likely to take a year for adventurers to have a toandback trip of Mars B. most adventurerstobe are healthy, educated people in their 20s and 30s, each with a keen interest in science and space C. If possible, the crew will have a Canadianborn manmander, Martha Lenio D. Should the ―red risks‖ not be solved, NASA would never try the exploration of Mars 35. The passage is intended _______. A. for informing us of a new research project B. as an introduction of some great adventurers C. for informing us of the exploration of Mars D. as a report of the latest space voyage 第二節(jié) （共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為 多余選項(xiàng) Homework Do arithmetic problems 15 through 25.
