Ada Falls
Today, on the final day of summer camp, Ada and Lilly stand below the Bear Crawl, the camp’s highest, hardest rope course. They watch the rope ladder, with its wooden rungs (阶梯) and rope sides, sway (摇摆) in the wind between two tall pines.

Ada feels very ____13____, but she can breathe again to hear Lilly volunteer to go first. The camp teacher, Mark, nods and helps Lilly get ready. Then Lilly begins her frightening crawl across the rope ladder. The wind blows and the ladder sways, but she holds tight.
“Go, Lilly, go! You’re a champion. You’ve got this!” Ada cheers from below. When Lilly ____14____ the challenge, Ada feels relieved for her friend but also nervous, it is her ____15____ now. Mark checks Ada’s helmet and harness, and he lifts Ada up to the platform.
On the platform, Ada looks down at the whole camp. Lilly and Mark are so tiny! Ada stretches her arms out to the first rung on the rope ladder.

“Can I try again?” Ada says in a low voice, trying to hold back tears.
Mark looks at his watch. “I’m sorry, Ada, we don’t have time.”
Ada’s body feels slow and heavy as the bus leaves camp. Beside her, Lilly sits silent and thoughtful.
“Hey Ada?” Lilly says. “I couldn’t ____18____ without you. I got so frightened in the middle, but then you shouted my name and I kept going.”
“You got scared?”
Lilly nods and says softly, “Super scared. I’m ____19____ I didn’t faint (晕倒) or throw up on everybody below. You were just unlucky such a big wind came up. It felt like a hurricane or something. I thought all the trees were going to fall over and squish (压扁) us like pancakes.”

Anil froze when he saw the poster at school. Culinary Academies of America presents Junior Cooking Camp. He had to go! But he needed money to get there.
So, the next morning on Saturday, Anil started to make cookies. Then he put the cookies into bags. Last he wrote Anil’s Cookies on each bag.
“Now,” Anil said, “I’ll make my dream come true.” He knocked door-to-door, trying to sell the cookies. He told each neighbor, “I need money for the cooking camp. I want to be a chef.” “Just bought some cookies,” one neighbor said. “On a diet,” the next one said. “No money,” the third admitted.
After Anil came home with a lot of good luck wishes but no money, his grandma, Nana, suggested him to drive to John’s Indian Grocery Store.
“Cookies?” Mr. John waved his hand. “No sweets. Too many sweets.” He pointed toward some shelves with desserts from India.
“But those are canned,” Nana argued. “These are fresh!”
“It takes too long to make a fresh paratha (flat bread) and aloo (potato) nowadays.” Mr. John shrugged (耸肩).
Anil went back home with Nana. He didn’t want to give up his dream. He thought about how traditional paratha shapes were so boring. Circles, triangles, nothing fun. Why couldn’t he use cookie cutters on paratha dough? As he worked, Nana picked up his parathas one by one. “A car. A cat. A flower? What kind of parathas dough are these?” After some silence, she said, “I should like eating the cat.” “Maybe other people will like them, too.” Anil said.
Anil hoped the Indian store would buy some. So they cooked the parathas and brought them to John. He tore off (撕下) a piece of paratha and put into his mouth.
“These are more fun for kids.” Anil said.
“Parathas for kids?” John slowly nodded his head. “Something new. And delicious. We’ll try them.”
A few days later, John called Anil.
When Anil hung up, Nana asked, “Well? What did John want?”
Anil grinned (咧嘴笑) before hurrying to the kitchen. “Fifty parathas each week! Kids love them! Camp, here I come!”
24. What was Anil’s dream?
A. He wanted to go to the cooking camp.
B. He hoped people would like his cookies.
C. He wanted to get along well with his neighbors.
D. He hoped John would agree to cooperate with him.
25. Mr. John refused Anil’s cookies because ________.
A. he didn’t have enough money to buy them B. he thought Anil’s cookies were not delicious
C. there were too many sweets in his store D. he preferred canned desserts to the cookies
26. What did you think of Anil according to the story?
A. Creative and strong-willed. B. Talented and friendly.
C Insistent and helpful. D. Humorous and hard-working.

Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned (布置) in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.
Reading stimulates (刺激) your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people are old, their muscles begin to get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that?
Do not just discount pay attention to a text because it is unfamiliar (不熟悉的) to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives (视角). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a wider perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in far away places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it has. Then move on to the next one.
27. The writer advises you to read everything at school because ________.
A. you will love it if you read it enough
B. you will get better grades in reading class
C. you will make your teacher very happy
D. you will learn more new words
28. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. you should pay more attention to the familiar text
B. you will feel bored after you think more intelligently
C. reading helps you perform on tests and get into top schools
D. reading widens your perspective and makes you a better person
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways
B. Reading: The Key to a Successful Future
C. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary and Grades
D. Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills
D


Did you know that humans aren’t the only species (物种) that use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language.
A female gorilla, Koko, was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That’s when she began living full-time with Patterson’s group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko’s relationship has blossomed ever since.
Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn’t know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language.
Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing. Some people who don’t believe that say that these apes are just performing complex tricks (戏法). For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape.
It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some people believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They think that apes should be left in the most natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When she was asked if her findings could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, “We don’t think that it would be ethical (道德的) to do again.” She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances.
As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve (保护区) in Maui, but they are having trouble getting the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko’s going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn’t mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she’d have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she’s got like 50 thousand “likes”. Some may deny (否认) that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn’t know social networking.
30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the second paragraph?
A. To describe the environment in which Koko lives.
B. To tell readers how Dr. Patterson developed Koko’s living skills.
C. To advise Patterson to free Koko after she learnt on the campus.
D. To make an introduction about Koko and Dr. Patterson’s background.
31. What do we know from the passage?
A. Koko has mastered sign language without a doubt.
B. Everybody likes how Dr. Patterson has raised Koko.
C. Some people think that Koko only signs to get food.
D. The Gorilla Foundation has got a land for Koko to stay naturally.
32. What does the underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. To disagree with someone. B. To fool them.
C. To copy something. D. To be disproven through debate.
33. Which may be the main idea of this passage?
A. Bees, whales, and apes like Koko all use language to communicate.
B. Koko uses sign language but some think it’s just a trick.
C. It is natural for gorillas to learn sign language like humans.
D. If you want a lot of “likes” on Facebook, get a talking gorilla.

Touch down to Earth

China welcomed three heroic astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu home on April 16. This return ended the Shenzhou XIII astronauts’ six-month space mission. It also marks a major (重大的) breakthrough for China’s efforts in space.
In order to return home safety, they did a lot of preparation before leaving the space station.
If you are coming home after a long journey, you have to pack up. For astronauts in space, besides their personal belongings, they “packed” experimental data (数据) and samples, so they would be further researched on Earth.
The astronauts had to tidy up a large number of materials, including goods on the Tianzhou 3 cargo (货物) spacecraft, according to Zhong Weiwei, a researcher at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
Since the space station had no room service, the three astronauts needed to “clear the house” themselves. They collected a great amount of waste. This included leftover foods, sanitary (卫生) waste and waste from in-orbit experiments. The waste was then put into the orbital module (轨道舱), which burnt up as it reentered Earth’s atmosphere.
They also had to put all equipment in place correctly since there would be a gap of more than one month before the astronauts of Shenzhou XIV enter the space station, according to Zhong. They needed to make sure some items, such as gym equipment, were fixed to the walls to avoid floating and slipping (滑落).
Astronauts experienced microgravity for long periods of time during their stays on the space station, which had an effect on their bodies. This included a loss of fluid (体液) muscle atrophy (萎缩) as well as bone loss.
To ensure their safe and sound return, the three astronauts had been doing physical exercises to train their muscles for the return to Earth. Based on their in-orbit physical examinations and data, experts had customized (定制) exercise plans for each of them to ensure a safe landing.
Just like a house that will be vacant (空着的) for a long time must have it’s water and power switched off, astronauts checked everything before they left. Based on experience at home and abroad, they checked and adjusted 40 to 50 items to ensure that the space station could transmit valid parameters (参数) to the ground during subsequent unmanned missions.
34. When did the three astronauts return to earth safety?
________________________________________________________
35. What did they “pack” experimental data and samples for?
________________________________________________________
36. Where did they put the waste they collected?
________________________________________________________
37. How did experts help the three astronauts return?

38. What do you think of staying in space? Why do you think so?

句意：当莉莉完成挑战时，艾达为她的朋友感到宽慰，但也很紧张，现在轮到她了。
turn轮到的机会；share股份；want缺乏；rest休息。根据第一句“Today, on the final day of summer camp, Ada and Lilly stand below the Bear Crawl…”和第二段第一句中“…but she can breathe again to hear Lilly volunteer to go first”可知艾达和莉莉都要接受绳索挑战，莉莉主动先来，那接下来应该轮到艾达了。故选A。
【16题详解】
句意：她小心地把手伸向下一个阶梯。
brings带来；walks走；runs跑；carries带到……地方。根据空后“her hands forward to the next rung”和常识可知艾达在往前行进的过程中，先把手伸到前面一个横档上。故选D。
【17题详解】
句意：突然一阵强风吹得绳梯摇晃起来，艾达的手没有握住木横档。
touch触摸；hold抓住；move移动；miss错过。根据下一句“Instead, her body falls downward.”和常识可知强风吹得绳索摇摇晃晃，艾达没有抓紧，所以身体往下掉。故选B。
【18题详解】
句意：没有你，我不可能成功。
imagine想象；live生存；succeed成功；risk冒险。根据第三段中“When Lilly completes the challenge, Ada feels relieved for her friend…”可知莉莉挑战绳索练习，取得了成功。故选C。
【19题详解】
句意：我很惊讶我没有晕倒，也没有吐在下面的人身上。
worried担心的；frightened害怕的；believed信了；surprised惊讶的。结合语境和空后“I didn’t faint (晕倒) or throw up on everybody below.”可知莉莉也没有想到自己在进行绳索挑战的过程中没有晕倒等，对此感到不可思议。故选D。
【20题详解】
句意：有好朋友更重要。
challenges挑战；teachers老师；friends朋友；chances机会。根据前一句中“She knows her friend was just trying to cheer her up…”可知虽然艾达挑战失败了，但从莉莉的话中，她感受到了朋友对自己的安慰，所以她觉得友谊超越了比赛的结果。故选C。

Anil froze when he saw the poster at school. Culinary Academies of America presents Junior Cooking Camp. He had to go! But he needed money to get there.
So, the next morning on Saturday, Anil started to make cookies. Then he put the cookies into bags. Last he wrote Anil’s Cookies on each bag.
“Now,” Anil said, “I’ll make my dream come true.” He knocked door-to-door, trying to sell the cookies. He told each neighbor, “I need money for the cooking camp. I want to be a chef.” “Just bought some cookies,” one neighbor said. “On a diet,” the next one said. “No money,” the third admitted.
After Anil came home with a lot of good luck wishes but no money, his grandma, Nana, suggested him to drive to John’s Indian Grocery Store.
“Cookies?” Mr. John waved his hand. “No sweets. Too many sweets.” He pointed toward some shelves with desserts from India.
“But those are canned,” Nana argued. “These are fresh!”
“It takes too long to make a fresh paratha (flat bread) and aloo (potato) nowadays.” Mr. John shrugged (耸肩).
Anil went back home with Nana. He didn’t want to give up his dream. He thought about how traditional paratha shapes were so boring. Circles, triangles, nothing fun. Why couldn’t he use cookie cutters on paratha dough? As he worked, Nana picked up his parathas one by one. “A car. A cat. A flower? What kind of parathas dough are these?” After some silence, she said, “I should like eating the cat.” “Maybe other people will like them, too.” Anil said.
Anil hoped the Indian store would buy some. So they cooked the parathas and brought them to John. He tore off (撕下) a piece of paratha and put into his mouth.
“These are more fun for kids.” Anil said.
“Parathas for kids?” John slowly nodded his head. “Something new. And delicious. We’ll try them.”
A few days later, John called Anil.
When Anil hung up, Nana asked, “Well? What did John want?”
Anil grinned (咧嘴笑) before hurrying to the kitchen. “Fifty parathas each week! Kids love them! Camp, here I come!”

Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned (布置) in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why.
Reading stimulates (刺激) your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people are old, their muscles begin to get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that?
Do not just discount pay attention to a text because it is unfamiliar (不熟悉的) to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives (视角). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a wider perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in far away places. You can learn about cultures different from your own.
Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it has. Then move on to the next one.
27. The writer advises you to read everything at school because ________.
A. you will love it if you read it enough
B. you will get better grades in reading class
C. you will make your teacher very happy
D. you will learn more new words
28. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. you should pay more attention to the familiar text
B. you will feel bored after you think more intelligently
C. reading helps you perform on tests and get into top schools
D. reading widens your perspective and makes you a better person
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways
B. Reading: The Key to a Successful Future
C. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary and Grades
D. Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills

Did you know that humans aren’t the only species (物种) that use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language.
A female gorilla, Koko, was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That’s when she began living full-time with Patterson’s group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko’s relationship has blossomed ever since.
Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn’t know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language.
Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing. Some people who don’t believe that say that these apes are just performing complex tricks (戏法). For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape.
It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some people believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They think that apes should be left in the most natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When she was asked if her findings could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, “We don’t think that it would be ethical (道德的) to do again.” She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances.
As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve (保护区) in Maui, but they are having trouble getting the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko’s going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn’t mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she’d have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she’s got like 50 thousand “likes”. Some may deny (否认) that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn’t know social networking.
30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the second paragraph?
A. To describe the environment in which Koko lives.
B. To tell readers how Dr. Patterson developed Koko’s living skills.
C. To advise Patterson to free Koko after she learnt on the campus.
D. To make an introduction about Koko and Dr. Patterson’s background.
31. What do we know from the passage?
A. Koko has mastered sign language without a doubt.
B. Everybody likes how Dr. Patterson has raised Koko.
C. Some people think that Koko only signs to get food.
D. The Gorilla Foundation has got a land for Koko to stay naturally.
32. What does the underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. To disagree with someone. B. To fool them.
C. To copy something. D. To be disproven through debate.
33. Which may be the main idea of this passage?
A. Bees, whales, and apes like Koko all use language to communicate.
B. Koko uses sign language but some think it’s just a trick.
C. It is natural for gorillas to learn sign language like humans.
D. If you want a lot of “likes” on Facebook, get a talking gorilla.
【答案】30 D 31. C 32. C 33. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲Koko会使用手语，但有些人认为这只是个把戏。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知作者在这段中主要介绍了Koko和Dr. Patterson的背景信息。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple.”可知有些人认为Koko只会用手势来获取食物。故选C。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“We don’t think that it would be ethical to do again.”及“She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances.”可知Dr. Patterson认为动物不该被饲养在非自然环境中，其他科学家团队不应该再次像她一样让大猩猩学习手语，由此推出是不能复制她的做法，duplicated意为“复制，重复”。故选C。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知本文主要讲Koko会使用手语，但有些人认为这只个把戏。故选B。
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分，每题2分)
Touch down to Earth

China welcomed three heroic astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu home on April 16. This return ended the Shenzhou XIII astronauts’ six-month space mission. It also marks a major (重大的) breakthrough for China’s efforts in space.
In order to return home safety, they did a lot of preparation before leaving the space station.
If you are coming home after a long journey, you have to pack up. For astronauts in space, besides their personal belongings, they “packed” experimental data (数据) and samples, so they would be further researched on Earth.
The astronauts had to tidy up a large number of materials, including goods on the Tianzhou 3 cargo (货物) spacecraft, according to Zhong Weiwei, a researcher at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
Since the space station had no room service, the three astronauts needed to “clear the house” themselves. They collected a great amount of waste. This included leftover foods, sanitary (卫生) waste and waste from in-orbit experiments. The waste was then put into the orbital module (轨道舱), which burnt up as it reentered Earth’s atmosphere.
They also had to put all equipment in place correctly since there would be a gap of more than one month before the astronauts of Shenzhou XIV enter the space station, according to Zhong. They needed to make sure some items, such as gym equipment, were fixed to the walls to avoid floating and slipping (滑落).
Astronauts experienced microgravity for long periods of time during their stays on the space station, which had an effect on their bodies. This included a loss of fluid (体液) muscle atrophy (萎缩) as well as bone loss.
To ensure their safe and sound return, the three astronauts had been doing physical exercises to train their muscles for the return to Earth. Based on their in-orbit physical examinations and data, experts had customized (定制) exercise plans for each of them to ensure a safe landing.
Just like a house that will be vacant (空着的) for a long time must have it’s water and power switched off, astronauts checked everything before they left. Based on experience at home and abroad, they checked and adjusted 40 to 50 items to ensure that the space station could transmit valid parameters (参数) to the ground during subsequent unmanned missions.
34. When did the three astronauts return to earth safety?
________________________________________________________
35. What did they “pack” experimental data and samples for?
________________________________________________________
36. Where did they put the waste they collected?
________________________________________________________
37. How did experts help the three astronauts return?
________________________________________________________
38. What do you think of staying in space? Why do you think so?
________________________________________________________
【答案】34. On April 16.
35. For that they could be further researched on Earth.
36. They put it into the orbital module.
37. They customized exercise plans for each of them.
38. I think it interesting. Because I can experience something different from staying on the Earth.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了宇航员在返回地面前需要做哪些工作。
【34题详解】
根据“China welcomed three heroic astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu home on April 16”可知，在4月16日安全回到地面，故填On April 16.
【35题详解】
根据“For astronauts in space, besides their personal belongings, they “packed” experimental data (数据) and samples, so they would be further researched on Earth”可知，为了可以在地球上进行进一步的研究，故填For that they could be further researched on Earth.
【36题详解】
根据“They collected a great amount of waste. This included leftover foods, sanitary (卫生) waste and waste from in-orbit experiments. The waste was then put into the orbital module ”可知，把它放进了轨道舱，故填They put it into the orbital module.
【37题详解】
根据“Based on their in-orbit physical examinations and data, experts had customized (定制) exercise plans for each of them to ensure a safe landing”可知，专家们为他们每个人定制了运动计划，以确保安全着陆，故填They customized exercise plans for each of them.
【38题详解】
开放性题，答案合理即可。参考答案为I think it interesting. Because I can experience something different from staying on the Earth.
