This text(文本) is a(n) _ probably.AadBmessageCnoteDstoryAstronauts, people who fly into space, need special training. First they go to Houston, Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Centre. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.One of the first tests is for the heart. The people walk or run, then the space doctors see how fast their hearts are beating.Another important test is performed. In this test the person must curl（蜷曲）his body up in a ball. When he is in that position, he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space, the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness, until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training centre. The astronauts in training learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to how to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter（直升机）. That may look fun, but it can be dangerous.After they finish training, the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In that way they can learn new facts about space travel.Then the big day comes. The astronaut is told to go to work on a flight into space. The crew members（全体船员）get to know each other first. Then they can learn which job each will do.36 . The astronauts dont know how long they will stay in the bag in the test because _.Athe doctors need to know how strong they areBthe astronauts need to show how smart they areCgood astronauts mustnt be afraid of darkness or tight spaceDnobody knows when help will come if the spaceship breaks down37 .

You may still remember the character and stories of Disney movies after many years and think you know Disney movies really well. But theres one thing about Disney movies you may never knew.From Disneys earliest cartoon film, Snow Whiteand the Seven Dwarfs, to more recent ones like Frozen(冰雪女王), many Disney movies lack moms. In Disney movies, Mom is killed like Bambis mom or simply never appears like in The Little Mermaid. Disney movie fans may wonder the reason for this strange fact.People think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death(死亡) of Walt Disneys mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mothers death into his films. However, many of his movies before his moms death also lacked moms. Hahn said the lacking of mothers is a way to bring out the themes(主题) like growing up in the short movie time. Many movies made long after Walts death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.We may never know if and how Walts mothers death made a difference(影响) to Disney films, but it seems like its a common fact.40 . The underlined word lack means _in English.Ato thinkimportantBto makebeautifulCto have noDto dislike41 . What do Hahns words in the third paragraph tell us?AMain characters must grow up in a short time in Disney movies.BLacking of moms is a way to show the main idea of Disney movies.CThe theme of Disney movies is growing up without parents.DSuccessful Disney movies should lack of moms.42 . What can we know from the passage?ASnow White and and the Seven Dwarfs came out later than Frozen.BWalt Disneys mother died about 50 years ago.CWalt Disney started to make films after his mothers death.DBeauty and the Beast came out after Walts death.43 . The purpose of this passage is to_.Adescribe some great Disney movies to usBshow how Walt Disney made Disney moviesClet us know why Disney-movies are popularDtell why we hardly see moms in Disney movies四、根据首字母、中文提示填空44 .
