Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命)often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break time is often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crew members usu?ally live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on the earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with families and friends by e-mail, Internet phone and through private videoconferencing.

While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos?messa?ges ,videos and reading material for the astronaut to look at when he will be floating 370 kilometres above the earth. During their mission, astronauts also receive care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And from early 2010 , the Internet became available on the ISS,giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing(沖浪)，，in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common en?tertainments ,astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.

Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the earth's vast land mass and oceans.

[文章大意]宇航員的生活往往是與眾不同的，但是宇航員在國際空間站的生活可以跟他們?cè)诘厍蛏系纳�活相似。他們可以與家人或者朋友聯(lián)系，也可以進(jìn)行一些日�；顒�(dòng)。

1. B 詞義猜測(cè)題。由第一段中的"They work five days on and two days off…"可知，他們?cè)诒M量模仿在地球上的生活，因此答案為B。

2. A推理判斷題。由第二段可知在飛行前，這些宇航員的家人以及朋友為他們準(zhǔn)備了照片、書籍等供他們消遣的東西， 因此這些家人和朋友很體貼并且想法很周全。文章沒有講述宇航員的家人或者朋友對(duì)于這些宇航員工作的興奮與好奇，因此可以排除D。

3. D推理判斷題。從最后一段可知，這些宇航員喜歡從窗口看宇宙和地球，并且地球在不同的時(shí)間呈現(xiàn)出不同的W面。

4.  D主旨大意題。全文主要講述了國際空間站的宇航員是如何度過閑暇時(shí)間的。B、C 有一定的干擾性。文章提到了宇航員與地面上的家人和朋友聯(lián)系，也提到了他們透過窗戶看地球，但是這些都是細(xì)節(jié)，不是主題。
