21、What does it take to become an astronaut? It’s a question that’s been asked since the start of the Space Age in the 1960s. In those days, pilots were considered the most well-trained professionals, so military fliers were first in line to go to space. More recently, people from a wide range of professional backgrounds - doctors, scientists, and even teachers- have trained to live and work in near-Earth orbit. Even so, those selected to go to space must meet high standards.

People who want to become astronauts must be in top physical condition. Each country’s space program has health requirements for its space travelers. They usually assess a candidate’s fitness to withstand some pretty tough conditions. For example, a good candidate must have the ability to endure the rigors of lift-off and to function in weightlessness. All astronauts must have good visual acuity and normal blood pressure. Beyond that, there is no age limit. Most astronaut trainees are between the ages of 25 and 46, although older people have also flown to space later in their careers.

People who go to space are usually self-confident, risk-takers, adept at stress management and multitasking. They also need to be able to work as part of a team for any given assignment. On Earth, astronauts are usually required to perform various public relations duties. such as speaking to the public, working with other professionals, and sometimes even testifying before government officials. So, astronauts who can relate well to many different kinds of people are seen as valuable team members.

Often, astronauts have a background as scientists and many have high-level degrees, like Ph. Ds. Others have military training or space industry expertise. Regardless of their background, once an astronaut is accepted into a country’s space program, he or she goes through rigorous training to actually live and work in space.

【1】Which of the following is of least importance to an astronaut?

A．Normal blood pressure.

B．Good eyesight.

C．Tough body.

D．Young age

【2】According to the passage, an astronaut is one who

A．is strong and healthy.

B．has self-confidence

C．can work under great pressure

D．All of the above.

【3】Why are astronauts asked to perform public duties?

A．To make them famous among people.

B．To relieve their feeling of tension.

C．To raise their awareness of teamwork.

D．To promote public interest in the aerospace.

【4】What could be the best title for the passage?

A．Everyone Can be an Astronaut

B．The Professional Qualities of an Astronaut

C．Training Astronauts is Much Easier Nowadays

D．It’s not Mysterious to be an Astronaut

22、   Rodney Smith is a man with a task. The Bermuda native is in the midst of a trip that will take him to every state in the nation, mowing lawns(修理草坪）.

Five years ago，Smith came across a senior man mowing his lawn and stopped to help.“When I came across the elderly man, my life changed，”he said. After that, Smith went on to  create the Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) to mow lawns for the elderly，disabled，single moms and former soldiers free of charge. As part of providing free yard work, the organization teaches children about serving their communities and lawn mower safety.

A key component of RMLCS is its 50-yard challenge，which sets a goal for children nationwide to mow 50 lawns for free in their community. When a kid signs up for the challenge, the group sends them a white shirt with the Raising Men logo(标识），shades and ear protection. The participants receive a different colored shirt after every 10th lawn they mow. When they have completed the task for 50 yards，they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give the volunteer a new lawnmower, free of charge, and cut other lawns with them.

Since this challenge started in 2016，12 kids have already completed the challenge. And both boys and girls are part of it. At present they have 130 kids nationwide taking part in this challenge，including 7 in Bermuda and the U. K. and one in Canada. So it5 s spreading worldwide. Even the Queen of England took notice — the governor of Bermuda presented Smith with an award late last year on behalf of her.

It was also last year that Smith came up with the 50 States 50 Lawns campaign. Now, in 2018，he’s on the road again.

【2】What indicates a child completing the 50-yard challenge?

A.A visit to RMLCS.

B.The Raising Men logo.

B.To prove Smith is respected by everyone.

C.To show Smith’s behavior got recognized.

D.To introduce where Smith’s motivation came from.

D.Smith — a Man Loves Mowing Lawns

23、In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to do what you want them to do is the key to success. Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results which are surely helpful to us.

One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phone sales. Instead of being instructed “Operators are waiting, please call now”, viewers were told “If operators are busy, please call again”. The results were extraordinary. The ad suggested operators weren’t sitting around hoping people would call. Instead there were so many people wanting the product that people might have to wait until they could get it.

What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something? One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. The large display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time came to purchase things, people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy. If they do buy, they are less satisfied with their selection, even though they have made a good choice. A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably high expectations.

Another aspect of persuasion concerns getting someone to change their mind. It’s hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong, and as people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds. People want things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes, statements, values and actions to follow a set pattern. The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledge this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable one. This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous decision is wrong. As a result, they may be persuaded to break out of their established pattern.

【1】What does the advertising copywriter want to indicate about the product?

A．It’s rare.

B．It’s in demand.

C．It’s for sale.

D．It’s precious.

【2】What does the study mentioned in paragraph 3 show?

A．Increased choices decrease satisfaction.

B．More selections bring more actions.

C．More and more people don’t want to choose.

D．Some choices are more attractive than others.

【3】What does the underlined word “unwavering” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Unreliable.

B．Unbelievable.

C．Unchanging.

D．Unique.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To compare different forms of persuasion.

B．To discuss various studies on persuasion.

C．To analyze how persuasion affects success.

D．To teach how to get better at persuasion.
