Being alone in outer space can be 36 . That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 37 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth. 38 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 39 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 40 is. When men are 41 together for a long period, they begin to feel 42 . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 43 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 44 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 45 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 46 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 47 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

解析
小题1:根据文章意思,独自一人在太空中是很害怕。
小题2:给他们很多活干,目的就是让他们忙碌。故用busy。
小题3:考查副词。本句的意思是“和你想要摆脱掉的人待在一起甚至比独自一人更难”。根据上下文可以判断,这里应用表示转折的副词。however“然而,但是”;so far“到目前为止”;after all “毕竟”;therefore“因此”。

小题5:根据文章第一段的最后一句的提示,可知这里指的是“调整的问题将越严重”。
小题6:根据文章中提到的“在潜艇和太空船中”,可以知道这里应指人被“关”起来。shut up“关闭;将人囚禁”;hold up“举起,阻止”;bring up“抚养;提出话题;呕吐”;pick up“好转;接收到;学会”。
小题7:当几个人长时间被囚禁在一起,渐渐地他们会变得不安。uneasy“不安”。

小题9:根据上文提到的情况,因此这里指“没人想要一直独自一人”。故用alone。
小题10:这里应选一个与stress并列的词,故用pressure“压力”。emphasis“强调”;conflict“冲突”;power“权力”。
小题11:本句的意思是“能很好地调整心态的人能比其他人很好地处理具有压力的局面”。handle=" deal" with“处理”;create“创造”;affect“影响”;investigate“调查”。
小题12:根据上文提到的内容可知:这里是指在选择宇航员时为什么会特别关注这方面的情况。

The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs(圆木), said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida .
The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.
The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.
“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph.
Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.
“These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition(过渡)form water onto land, ” Wright said.

"Women of China" magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the "single-child" generation, the Morning Post reports. The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4.000 yuan ($531). Among them, 43.5 percent have kids.

Get a reward for every bug you bring to live in new science museum exhibit.
In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug-up to 1,000-as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center.
Nancy Greig, the museum’s director insists the public payday for roaches isn’t just a marketing ploy(炒作).
“Absolutely, this wasn’t devised as a joke,” Greig said. “We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose.”
“But we really do need cockroaches.”
“One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live cockroach. But it’s simple enough to fool them,” Greig said, “and even easier to catch them.” American cockroaches are the most common kind in Texas, measuring up to 2 inches long and invading homes.
Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually aren’t that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them “fastidious” saying they don’t enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. They’re only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain access into a home.
The roaches collected by the museum will become part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites.
There’s more to like about roaches, too. They don’t bite, and they don’t carry diseases like a mosquito, so they’re generally safe to handle.
56.For what does the museum pay for cockroaches?
A.For a marketing ploy. B. It’s devised to make fun.
C.People really need them. D. For a new exhibit.
57.The underlined word “fastidious” probably means extremely ________.
A.clean B.dirty C.unpleasant D.fast
58.What do we know about American roaches?
A.It’s not easy for people in Houston to collect roaches.
B.They all measure 2 inches and are often found in homes
C.They don’t bite and they are free of disease.
D.We have reasons to like them.
59.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A.The Houston Museum of Natural Science
B.A new exhibit
C.Quarters for cockroaches
D.A cockroach is lovely
1.A.By B.At C.In D.On
