The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler elevendegrees or so in the north.And now, lets move on to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend.Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather.Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool seventeen degrees.Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods.And when the sun does come out, temperatures could rise up to twenty-three degrees.第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away.Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep.Its position presents its own challenges.The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag.If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet (芭蕾) dancer. “Im an inside guy, ”Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange.The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars.It also has no seat.With no gravity, its just as easy to pedal violently.You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want.But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long.Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around your head.You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks youre falling.Meanwhile your eyes are telling you youre standing straight.That can be annoyingthats why some people feel sick.” Within a couple of daystruly terrible days for someastronauts brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous.For instance, astronauts lose bone mass.Thats why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule.The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy.NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a roundtrip to Mars.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，从不同角度介绍了在太空中生活时所面对的各种挑战。21What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space？_A_ADeciding on a proper sleep position.BChoosing a comfortable sleeping bag.CSeeking a way to fall asleep quickly.DFinding a right time to go to sleep.解析：细节理解题。第二段谈到宇航员在太空的睡眠，说睡姿是一个很大的问题(Its position presents its own challenges.)，然后以胳膊是否应该放在睡袋里为例解释说明。由此可知宇航员在太空中睡觉时面临的最大问题是睡姿的问题。22The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _C_.Athey circle around on their bikesBthey use microcomputers without a stopCthey exercise in one place for a long timeDthey watch a movie while pedaling解析：细节理解题；第三段讲到宇航员面临的另外一个问题就是在锻炼的时候，由于没有重力帮助循环空气，宇航员呼出的二氧化碳有可能在头顶形成隐形的云朵，此时宇航员就会出现二氧化碳状态下的头疼，因此选C。23One of NASAs major concerns about astronauts is _B_.Ahow much exercise they do on the stationBhow they can remain healthy for long in spaceCwhether they can recover after returning homeDwhether they are able to go back to the station解析：细节理解题。最后一段讲到美国国家航空航天局(NASA)关心宇航员的身体健康，他们关心宇航员回到家里之后的恢复期，更重要的是，如何让宇航员在进行火星探测的两年半或更长时间内保持身体健康，这与B项描述是一致的。B(2019·全国卷)Bacteria 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 (解决方案)“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 (影响) 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.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国一所中学与NASA合作的联合科研项目，解决国际空间站中的细菌问题。这类语篇对于启发与培养学生良好的思维品质有积极的引导作用。24What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station？_A_AThey are hard to get rid of.BThey lead to air pollution.CThey appear in different forms.DThey damage the instruments.解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The microorganisms from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.”可知，来自我们身体的微生物在太空站的表面长得很快，宇航员每周得花很长时间清理它们，由此断定太空站里的细菌很难清除。故答案为A。25What is the purpose of the HUNCH program？_D_ATo strengthen teacher-student relationships.BTo sharpen students communication skills.CTo allow students to experience zero gravity.DTo link space technology with school education.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers.”可知，HUNCH项目的目的是把学校教育与航天技术联系在一起，故答案为D。26What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program？_A_ACheck their product.BGuide project designs.CAdjust work schedules. DGrade their homework.解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句“Engineers come and really do an in-person review.Its a hard business review of your product.”可知，NASA工程师亲自检查那些高中学生的产品，故答案为A。27What is the best title for the text？_B_ANASA: The Home of AstronautsBSpace: The Final Homework FrontierCNature: An Outdoor ClassroomDHUNCH: A College Admission Reform解析：标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了一个项目：把高中的教室教学与太空的研究联系起来，使学生得到NASA工程师们的指导。因此在选标题时既要有太空，还要有学生，选项B将其完美地结合起来，故答案为B。CUS Space Agency Returns to Mars with InSight LanderThe American space agencys lander InSight is to arrive on Mars at the end of November,2018.Unlike NASAs Curiosity rover，InSight will not move across the planets surface.Instead it will become the first spacecraft (航天器) used only for exploring underground.It will study the geography of Mars，searching for signs of Martian (火星的) quakes.InSight is a project of US and Europe.It is 6 meters long and 1.5 meters wide.It weighs 360 kilograms.InSights 1 .8-meter robotic arm will put two experiments in place.Both are designed to explore underground of Mars to learn about the inside.Bruce Banerdt is the lead scientist for InSight.He viewed the spacecraft as a robot that can take care of itself.“Its got its own brain.Its got an arm.It can listen and feel things.It pu
