21．（6分） A Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire. It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program, which is also used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.
United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russia’s Baikonur space center, which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Both the U.S. space agency NASA and Russia’s Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews. A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “Thank God the crew is alive” after they had landed safely.
About two minutes after launching, the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage. Russia’s TASS news agency said the capsule carrying the two men separated from the troubled rocket safely. This caused the capsule to drop very sharply into the Earth’s atmosphere. Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule. Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew.
Russia’s RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned space launches after the failure. Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said he had ordered a state commission to carry out an investigation into what went wrong. He said Russia will share all relevant information with the U.S.
The TASS news agency said that the ISS crew has enough supplies and that the failed launch will not affect operations.
The U.S. and other nations have depended on Russia to carry astronauts to the ISS since the
retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. In coming years, American aerospace companies SpaceX, with its Dragon 2, and Boeing, with its Starliner, are expected to return to space. 1、What can be the best title of the text? A．The Rescue of Two Astronauts B．The Launch of Russian Spacecraft C．Cooperation between Russia and America D．Emergency Landing in Failed Space Launch 2、What caused the failure of the launch? A．The problem of the engine. C．The drop of the capsule.
B．The terrible weather. D．The wrong operation.
3、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A．SpaceX is sure to go back to space soon.
B．America carried astronauts to the ISS by itself before 2011. C．Now only Russia can carry astronauts to space. D．the ISS crew lives a very good life in the space station. 4、What can we learn about the launch?
A．The capsule landed safely in Dzhezkazgan, Russia.
B．Russia had never failed in the space launch before this failure. C．The failed launch will have a serious effect on the operations. D．At first the capsule dropped very rapidly into the Earth’s atmosphere. 22．（8分）Exhibitions in the British Museum
