21.(6分) Do women make BETTER astronauts? Russia locks an all-female crew in space simulator (太空模拟器) for eight days to find out. Six Russian women have been sent into a spaceship to begin a unique experiment testing how an all- female crew would relate to others on a trip to the Moon and back.
“It’s interesting for us to see what is special about the way a female crew communicates,” said Sergei
Ponomaryov, the experiment’s leader. “it will be particularly interesting in terms of psychology,” said the institute’s director Igor Ushakov. “I’d like to wish you a lack of conflicts, even though they say that in one kitchen, two housewives find it hard to live together,” he added.
The volunteers include scientific researchers, a doctor and a psychologist. The test period simulates (模仿) a flight to the Moon and back, with the women carrying out 10 experiments covering psychology and human biology. Russia sent the first woman into space, Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963 but has fallen behind since. Last year, it sent its fourth female astronaut into space, Yelena Serova. Serava complained of a great deal of media interest in how she would wash her hair aboard the International Space Station, pointing out that male astronauts did not face the same line of questioning.
The women found themselves fielding questions at a press conference about how they would act without men or makeup for eight days, “We are very beautiful without makeup,” said participant Darya Komissarova. Her colleague Anna Kussmaul was more direct: “We are doing work. When you’re doing your work, you don’t think about men and women.” They plan to spend their 11/2 hours per day of free time watching films, reading and playing board games. Team leader Yelena Luchnitskaya said she expected the women to deal with any conflict.
1、In which column can you find this passage on a website? A.Education. C.Science.
2、What’s the purpose of the experiment? A.To show that women can do better than men. B.To test whether women can be good astronauts. C.To gather information about the conditions in space. D.To measure the distance from the earth to the moon. 3、What do we know from what Igor Ushakov said? A.Women can not live peacefully in space at all. B.There may be conflicts among the women astronauts. C.The female crew will deal with each other in a new way. D.Being in the same kitchen helps the women live together. 4、Which of the following was once sent into space? A.Sergei Ponomarev. C.Anna Kussmaul.
B.Darya Komissarova. D.Valentina Tereshkova. B.Entertainment. D.Economy.
