A spacesuit is much mre than a set f clthes astrnauts wear n spacewalks. A full spacesuit is really a ne-persn spacecraft. The spacesuit prtects the astrnaut frm the dangers f being utside in space.
Spacesuits help astrnauts in several ways. Spacewalking astrnauts face different temperatures. Arund the earth, cnditins in space can be as cld as arund -156 ℃. In the sunlight, they can be as ht as 121 ℃. A spacesuit prtects astrnauts frm thse extreme temperatures.
Spacesuits als prvide astrnauts with O2 t breathe while they are in the space. They cntain water t drink during spacewalks. They prtect astrnauts frm being hit by a small bject in space. It may nt sund very dangerus, but when even the small bject is mving many times faster than a bullet, it can cause injury. Spacesuits als prtect astrnauts frm radiatin(辐射) in space. The suits even have parts t prtect astrnauts’ eyes frm the bright sunlight.
The spacesuit includes several pieces. The bdy equipment cvers the astrnaut’s bdy. The arm equipment cvers the arms and cnnects t the glves. The helmet (头盔) and anther equipment are designed t prtect the astrnaut’s head while still allwing him r her t see as much as pssible. The Lwer equipment cvers the astrnaut’s legs and feet. These parts have different functins(功能), frm keeping O2 within the spacesuit t prtecting frm being hit.
Under the spacesuit, astrnauts wear a set f cling equipment. Tubes (管子) are put int this tight-fitting piece f clthing that cvers the whle bdy except fr the head, hands and feet.
Water mves thrugh these tubes t keep the astrnaut cl during the spacewalk. On the back f the spacesuit is a backpack. This backpack prvides the O2 that astrnauts breathe during a spacewalk. It als takes CO2 away. The backpack als prvides electricity fr the suit. A fan mves the O2 thrugh the spacesuit and life supprt systems, and a water tank hlds the cling water that mves thrugh the cling device.
Anther device called the Simplified Aid fr Extravehicular Activity Rescue, r SAFER is necessary. If an astrnaut became separated frm the space statin, he r she culd use SAFER t fly back.
27. What des a spacesuit prvide accrding t the passage?
A. CO2.B. Fd.C. Radiatin.D. Electricity.
28. What can we learn frm the passage?
A A small bject hurts a little t astrnauts in space.
B. SAFER helps astrnauts return t the space statin.
C. A spacesuit is just a kind f clthes t wear in space.
D. An astrnauts needs t wear the spacesuit all the time.

Technlgy Prgress
On June 22, 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew int Daytn, Ohi, fr dinner at Orville Wright’s huse. It had been just a mnth since the yung pilt's first ever individual nnstp crssing f the Atlantic, and he felt he ught t pay respects t the pineer f flight.
Frty-tw years later, n July 16, 1969, Apll 11 astrnaut Neil Armstrng was allwed t bring a persnal guest t the Kennedy Space Center t view the launch f NASA's twering Saturn V rcket. Armstrng invited his her, Charles Lindbergh. That's hw fast technlgy advanced in the 20th century.
Hwever, prgress isn't what it used t be nw. Nrthwestern University ecnmist Rbert Grdn argues that by 1970, all the key technlgies f mdern life were in place: electricity, highways, telecmmunicatins, and the like. After that, innvatin （创新）and ecnmic grwth simply culdn't keep ging as fast as the last 100 years-a perid Grdn calls "the special century". Grdn argues the lives f peple in develped natins lk and feel the same in 2020 as they did in 1979 r 1989.
Slwing dwn is gd in ne small way, thugh bad in mst f the ways that cunt. Rapid changes can smetimes be disrienting （令人迷惑的）. And when things develp at a lwer speed, peple and institutins d have mre time t breathe and fit in. But slwing dwn isn't what it shuld be. In many areas f technlgy, the frward mvement tday feels tragically slw, even nnexistent.
Cnsider cnsumer rbtics. There's huge ptential fr rbts t help us. But hme rbtics cmpanies seem t keep flding. Fr example, scial rbt maker Jib clsed in March after raising almst $73 millin.
Our century’s ne signature technlgy achievement is smartphnes. At this pint, we've had them in ur pckets lng enugh t begin t appreciate their dangers. Meanwhile, the list f pssibly wrld-changing technlgies that get peple's attentin but still remain in the riginal stage is very lng. Self-driving cars, AR glasses. Need I cntinue?
Indeed, these are all hard prblems. But histrically, slving the big prblems has required cntinuus, large-scale investment（投资）, ften with private markets and taxpayers sharing the cst. In this century, we need t und sme bad results f the last great bm （繁荣）by develping affrdable zer-and negative-emissins technlgies right nw. That's anther hard prblem-and t slve it, we'll need t rethink what made the "special century" s special.
30. The writer mentins Charles Lindbergh in Paragraphs 1 and 2 t shw that __________.
A. Charles has cntributed greatly t technlgy
B. Charles paid respects t the pineer f flight
C. technlgy develped rapidly in the 20th century
D. technlgy has advanced t a higher new level
31. The underlined wrd "flding” in Paragraph 5 prbably means _____________.
A. shuttingB. separatingC. grwingD. perating
32. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Sme wrld-changing technlgies are nt making prgress.
B. Hme rbtics cmpanies failed because f little investment.
C. It's time t realize the disadvantages f fast develpment nw.
D. It desn't take us lng befre we realize the dangers f smartphnes.
33. The writer prbably agrees _______________.
A. markets and taxpayers have a duty t develp technlgies
B. innvatin and investment are needed fr technlgy advance
C. what made the last century special will happen in the new century
D. rapid changes in technlgy are bad in mst f the ways that cunt

Sylvia Earle is ne f the wrld’s mst famus cean scientists. She lves t g diving（潜水） in the cean. She has spent a lt f her life bth in and under the waves. Earle has led mre than a hundred explratins and she set a recrd fr diving in 1, 000-metre-deep water n her wn. In ttal, she has spent mre than 7, 000 hurs underwater.
Earle describes the first time she went t the cean “I was three years ld and I gt kncked ver by a wave. The cean certainly gt my attentin! It was exciting. And since then, I have been attracted by life in the cean.”
Nw, Earle’s jb is t fcus n develping a wrldwide netwrk f areas n the land and in the cean. This netwrk will prtect and supprt the living systems that are imprtant t the planet. She explains why this is imprtant, “When I first went t the Gulf f Mexic in the 1950s, the sea lked huge and blue. It seemed t be t large and t wild t be destryed by the actin f peple. Then, in nly several tens f years, the blue wilderness f my childhd disappeared. By the end f the 20th century, abut 90 percent f the sharks, whales, and many ther large creatures had disappeared frm the Gulf. They had been there fr millins f years.”
Sme peple dn’t understand why the cean is s imprtant t life n Earth. Earle explains, “The cean is the fundatin f ur life supprt system. The cean is alive. The living things in the cean prduce O2 and take up CO2. If we dn’t have the cean, we dn’t have a planet that wrks.”
The Gulf f Mexic has had many prblems, especially after the Deepwater Hrizn il disaster（灾难） f 2010, but Earle says, “In 2003 I fund gd signs in clear, deep water far frm the muth f the Mississippi River. It was full f life. Large areas f the Gulf are nt destryed. Prtecting the mst imprtant places will be gd fr the future f the Gulf and fr all f us.”

Earle has led mre than a hundred explratins and she set a recrd fr diving in 1, 000-metre-deep water n her wn. In ttal, she has spent mre than 7, 000 hurs underwater.
Earle describes the first time she went t the cean “I was three years ld and I gt kncked ver by a wave. The cean certainly gt my attentin! It was exciting. And since then, I have been attracted by life in the cean.”
Nw, Earle’s jb is t fcus n develping a wrldwide netwrk f areas n the land and in the cean. This netwrk will prtect and supprt the living systems that are imprtant t the planet. She explains why this is imprtant, “When I first went t the Gulf f Mexic in the 1950s, the sea lked huge and blue. It seemed t be t large and t wild t be destryed by the actin f peple. Then, in nly several tens f years, the blue wilderness f my childhd disappeared. By the end f the 20th century, abut 90 percent f the sharks, whales, and many ther large creatures had disappeared frm the Gulf. They had been there fr millins f years.”
Sme peple dn’t understand why the cean is s imprtant t life n Earth. Earle explains, “The cean is the fundatin f ur life supprt system. The cean is alive. The living things in the cean prduce O2 and take up CO2. If we dn’t have the cean, we dn’t have a planet that wrks.”
The Gulf f Mexic has had many prblems, especially after the Deepwater Hrizn il disaster（灾难） f 2010, but Earle says, “In 2003 I fund gd signs in clear, deep water far frm the muth f the Mississippi River.
