三、阅读理解。（2022·江苏南通港闸区月考）

Have you ever dreamed of travelling in space？For many kids，staring at the stars leads to daydreams about what it would be like to be an

astronaut．Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the moon or another planet！

Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space，it would be a lot of work，too．Travelling to outer space needs lots of preparation．

Once you are in space，nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out．You must take all you need into outer space to keep yourself

alive．Let’s call these things “inputs”，including food，water and oxygen．Every input creates an output．If you open a box of cookies for breakfast，

what will you do with the box when it’s empty？Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you．Your body will also output

food and water．Since nothing can leave the spaceship，you will have to think of another way to deal with these bodily wastes．

Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）！It’s true that plants depend on carbon dioxide in the same way humans depend on

oxygen to breathe．However，plants have other input needs．If you take a banana tree with you，you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive．You

must also consider another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks—the banana peel．

See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space？How can you plan your actions on earth to have the least influence on the environment and

your future？Not only do you have to think about all the things you’ll need，you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the

wastes they may create．

C．It’s relaxing to stare at the stars．

A．It will make astronauts sleepy．

D．It’s difficult to be an astronaut．

B．It only means things to eat and drink．

（ ）2．What do we know about the input in space？

C．It is quite important to astronauts． D．It can help astronauts deal with rubbish．

（ ）3．Which of the following is an “output” according to Paragraph 3？

A．some cookies B．food and water

C．your oxygen mask D．the empty cookie box

（ ）4．What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about？

A．The reason why breathing creates an output．

B．A way to plant a banana tree in space successfully．

C．The reason why plants depend on carbon dioxide．

D．A way to deal with carbon dioxide in the spaceship．
