Zero gravity looks cool.But what about the thing no one likes to talk about？Yes，that is right: going to bathroom.Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge.Astronauts have to be toilettrained all over again.
The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips.A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal.(You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin！) When the deed was done，the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag，removed the bag，dropped a disinfectant pill in with the waste matter，and put the whole thing，sealed，into

a special container.
Donald W．Rethke，an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems，developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet.It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes—with unique adaptations for zero gravity，of course.For instance，it has thigh bars(大腿护栏) that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.
The astronaut (male or female) defecates(排便) in a bag and urinates(排尿) in a hose.Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and，yes，after careful filtration，used for drinking and other purposes.(Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet，where the waste is compacted into hamburgerlike patties for easy storage.Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet，it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.
8．According to the first paragraph，the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as ________ into a major challenge. A．eating B．taking baths C．sleeping
D．answering nature’s call 答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Astronauts have to be toilettrained all over again.”可知，零重力使在太空上厕所这个日常任务也变成一种挑战，宇航员也不得不重新进行训练。根据第三段中的“Donald W．Rethke，an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems，developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet.”提示可知，“answer the nature’s call”就是上厕所。故选D。 9．How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days? A．None of the waste was separated as it is now. B．Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.
C．The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system. D．The astronauts each used their own private restroom. 答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When the deed was done，the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag，removed the bag，dropped a disinfectant pill in with the waste matter，and put the whole thing，sealed，into

a special container.”可知，阿波罗宇航员们用袋子里面的一块塑料袋清理废物，然后放进消毒药，再把整个废物密封放进一个特殊的容器。这种处理方法并不进行固体与液体分离。故选A。
10．To ensure the user remains seated，the toilet comes equipped with ________. A．a plastic bag B．a sticky strip C．a wide hose D．a thigh bar 答案 D

C．It is very convenient to get their urine recycled. D．Space science includes recycling urine. 答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and，yes，after careful filtration，used for drinking and other purposes.(Water is always in demand in space.)”可推知，在太空中尿液回收后，会经过仔细过滤，然后当饮用水或用于其他用途。这是因为水在太空总是非常紧缺的。故选B。

Earlier this year，the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations—including The New York Times，The Guardian，and the
BBC—to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage.Stories
published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher，who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn—at least for now.The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations，and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing—and has been for a while.
When Google News began in 2002，many saw it as the death of the newspaper.It had no human editor.Instead Google used，and still uses，a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests.More recently，Associated Press and Yahoo！have been publishing computerwritten articles.Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company

financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.
Should we be worried about such developments？I think we should.One concern is that Facebook，Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline，a way of putting people in front of advertisements.It isn’t their primary function—so if it stops making them lots of money，they’re likely to stop doing it.
There’s also a concern that computerwritten articles are not actually journalism at all，because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex.A wellwritten news story puts information in context，offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.
Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computerwritten story over a carefully shaped article—at least for daily news—I don’t think the computers will be writing any indepth articles for a while yet. 语篇解读 本文属于新闻类阅读，介绍了脸书和纽约时报、卫报还有BBC合作。这个交易说明了社会媒体成为新组织有多重要，而且它是新闻世界变化的一个清晰标志。同时还阐述了人们对于这一变化的担心。 12．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook. B．To advise readers against reading computerwritten news. C．To express concern about recent trends in online news. D．To describe the process of online news reporting. 答案 C
解析 写作意图题。作者在文章第一段提到了脸书和纽约时报、卫报还有BBC合作。用脸书瞬间发表
的故事会加载得更快而且会保持原始发布者的风格，这会让所有故事的广告收入增加——至少现在会。这个交易说明了社会媒体成为新组织有多重要。而且它是新闻世界变化的一个清晰标志。接下来的三、四段中解释了人们对于目前这种新变化的担忧。故C正确。 13．Computerwritten news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.
A．these are the most popular topics for online readers B．there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas C．information on these topics is more easily available D．writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas 答案 D

解析 推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第一句“Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.”可知，计算机文章主要关于经济问题和体育问题，是因为在这两个领域里写作的风格不如数据的准确性重要。故D正确。
14．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Journalism. C．Facebook. 答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据前句“One concern is that Facebook，Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline，a way of putting people in front of advertisements.”新闻行业并不是他们的主业，所以一旦这一行业不挣钱了，他们就会立刻不再做新闻了。所以本句中的It就是指“新闻业”。故A正确。
15．In Paragraph 4，which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?
A．The information presented is uptodate. B．The author’s opinion is clear.
C．Different views on the topic are presented. D．The language used is vivid. 答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“A wellwritten news story puts information in context，offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.”可知，C项说法是正确的。
