中考英语《阅读理解》复习专项练习题(含答案)
As an old Chinese saying goes, food is No. 1 need. What do astronauts eat on the space station and where does their food come from?
On October 16th, 2021, China launched a rocket and sent three taikonauts(Chinese astronauts)—two men and a woman—to China’s space station core module Tianhe. There are more than 120 kinds of food and drinks inside. They are rich in nutrition, taste good and are easy to keep for a long time. The taikonauts can also have a bite of their favorite specials.
These years, some countries have even started to grow food in space. Back in 2016, taikonauts grew some plants in space, such as lettuce and rice. Now some astronauts are even growing chile peppers in space for the first time. Their seeds(种子) need a long time before they start to come up. Then it takes them a long time to grow. There’s one thing the astronauts will have to do in caring for the plants. They will have to transfer pollen(花粉) to the flowers. In this way, astronauts will get seeds that can grow new plants. It’s also how the
peppers form. The seeds grow inside of the chile peppers.
The environment on the space station is quite different from that on the earth. Astronauts don’t feel good and food also tastes different. So chile peppers help them to eat more. The peppers are red. That might help astronauts feel better.
Space plants are also important for a trip to other planets like Mars. Astronauts would need food for staying there and for the long trip to Mars and back.
