Today, Im going to be asking some questions to our guest, Michael Todd, an astronaut. Michael: Good morning. Interviewer: How long have you been an astronaut and how many mi

22、ssions have you flown? Michael: Ive been an astronaut since 2002 and Ive flown on 3 missions. The last one was in January and lasted for 9 days. Q11 Interviewer: What do you need to do to become an astronaut? Michael: Well, you know I asked that very same question when I was a kid and I actually wen

23、t to an astronaut and asked that question and I got an answer that I think was a very good one, which is basically stay in school. You study hard. You study mathematics Q12 or science so much that you really become a real expert in that field and then you are valuable as someone who has a real talen

24、t that can be used in a space program. Interviewer: How much training do you have to go through? Michael: Every two years or so theres class of astronaut candidates that come down to the Johnson Space Center. You go through about one year of basic training courses. Its actually a pretty Q13 exciting

25、 year, because it is an opportunity to learn all that you can imagine about the space shuttle. You study every single switch. You study what it does and what it means to flip that switch, when are the right times to push it and when are the wrong times to push it. After that, we get an assignment to

26、 fly in space, and we spend another year just studying about that particular space flight. Interviewer: Theres been a lot of talk about sending people to Mars. What are the challenges of a manned mission to Mars? Michael: The first challenge is constructing a spacecraft to get there. The trip to Mar

27、s could take as long as a year. When you are in space that long, your muscles get kind of weak because you Q14 havent been using them to walk around. You also need to find ways to pack enough food, water and air. Those kind of challenges are the sort of things that we are going to be studying at the

28、 International Space Station in the near future to develop Q15 the things that we need to have in order to safely send people to Mars and to bring them back. Interviewer: How does it feel to wear a spacesuit? Michael: I did my first space walk on my third flight. We were outside for 6 hours, a littl

29、e over 6 hours. The spacesuit is very big and very awkward and in fact because you are outside where there is no air and your spacesuit is providing you air, your spacesuit is pressurised. So it makes you sort of feel like a balloon. Your Q16 arms end up way out to your side if you dont do anything

30、about it. So you have to use some force to pull your arms in. When you try to work with the gloves that we have, in order to Q17 keep your hands warm and safe from outside, the gloves have to be thick which means that there is no way that you could, say, button your shirt, put on a belt, or come clo

31、se to putting on a wrist watch without dropping them. So they are big and awkward to work in and we have to use special tools to make it possible to get the job done. You can imagine that it can be difficult to do and we train for a long time to get good at working inside that suit. The suit is an i

32、ncredible piece of equipment. It keeps us safe at temperatures from minus 200 degrees to plus 200 degrees.

33、outside and can provide life support for over 6 hours. Interviewer: Whats the most fun part of being in space? Michael: Thats an easy one. The best part for me was looking back at the Earth. The colours of the Earth dont quite come across in a photograph. The depth of the colours are like gem stones

34、. There are ruby reds, and emerald greens, and sapphire blues. The atmosphere is just a thin blue line. It cuts across the very top of the planet, and in that line you can see all different shades of blue, layers that go from midnight blue to turquoise blue to almost white, its such a light blue. Th

35、e clouds are so Q19 white that it is hard to look at them. Theyre so bright that you have to wear sunglasses to look at them or your eyes will just close all on their own. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly spectacular, because if you remember we are going around the earth every 90 minutes, which

36、 means we see a sunrise and 45 Q20 minutes later we see a sunset and 45 minutes later we see another sunrise. Interviewer: Now, our next question comes from one of our listeners . 11 【 正确答案】 (in) January 12 【正确答案】 mathematics/maths (or) science 13 【正确答案】 one/1 year 14 【正确答案】 (your/the) muscles 15 【正

39、things to that address. Jeff: They wont. See. It says they will send things to your residential Q21 address, which is in the UK. Marta: Oh, I see! Aref: And here we need to write the name of our school, dont we? Jeff: Yes, and any other secondary schools youve attended. Dont forget to write “FT“ in

40、the box there on the right. Aref: “FT“ means “full-time“, I suppose? Q22 Jeff: Yes, it does. Put the most recent school youve attended at the top. Malta: Here it says we should enter our ethnic origin, but only if we are UK applicants. Jeff: Well, you are living in the UK. Put it in anyway. It wont

41、matter. They only use it for statistical purposes. Q23 Aref: Should we put the subjects weve taken for A-level in this area 7A? Jeff: No. Thats for exams youve already taken and got the results for. Here, underneath, in part 7B, you can see the space for Q24 exams that youve taken but dont have the

42、results for, or are going to take. Malta: And do we need to write the name of our school there too? Thats where we will take the exams. Jeff: Thats right. Dont forget to put the address too. Aref: Do you know the postcode for our school, Jeff?. Jeff: Yes, its PL3 6LY. Now, how about page 3? Q25 Mart

43、a: I did some part-time work. Should I put that in the employment section? Jeff: Yes. I did some part-time work too. Write “PT“ in the final box for “part-time“. Marta: OK.

Jeff: I think that you both need to say why youre interested in those particular courses at those particular universitie

46、s. Marta: Well, I like some of the elective courses on offer in years two Q29 and three. Thats how I chose those particular universities. How about you, Aref? Aref: Well, I considered that, but many of the law courses at university are very similar, so I also considered the geographical location of

47、the universities. Jeff: OK. Add those reasons. Have you both signed at the bottom of page 3? . Yes, oh, Marta, you forgot to add the date. Now, on page four, you need to have a teacher write a reference for you. Aref: Im going to ask Mr Martin, since hes my form teacher. Marta: Im going to ask Mrs R

48、obinson, because shes my art teacher. Jeff: Good. Its best to have your form teacher to do it or ask the teacher who teaches the subject you want to study. They are most likely to have an idea of your abilities. Q30 Aref: Should I leave it to the teacher to fill in the details about the school at the top of the reference page? Jeff: Yes. Some of that information isnt known to us students anyway. Marta: Well, thanks for your help, Jeff. Are you going to . 21 【正确答案】 residential address 2
