Astronauts often work 16 hours a day on the space shuttle in order to complete all the projects set out for the mission. From space, astronauts study the geography, pollution, and weather patterns on Earth.
They take many photographs to record their observations. Also, astronauts conduct experiments on the shuttle to learn how space conditions, such as microgravity, affect humans, animals, plants, and insects.
Besides working, regular exercise is essential to keep the astronauts healthy in microgravity.
Astronauts sometimes go outside the shuttle to work. They are protected by a space suit from the radiation of the Sun. Meanwhile, the space suit provides necessary oxygen supply and keeps the astronauts from feeling the extreme heat or cold outside the shuttle.
When the mission is over, the crew members get ready to return to Earth. The shuttle does not use its engines for a landing. It glides through the atmosphere. When the shuttle touches the land, a drag parachute opens to steady the aircraft, get the speed right, and help the brakes on the landing-gear wheels to bring it to a complete stop.
37. The passage is mainly about
(A) how astronauts fly the space shuttle. (B) how a space shuttle is constructed.
(C) how a space mission is completed. (D) how far astronauts travel in space.
38. The underlined word conduct in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to (A) behave. (B) instruct. (C) carry out. (D) serve as.

(A) The astronauts can hardly breathe in a space suit.
(B) The astronauts keep themselves warm in a space suit.
(C) The astronauts need a space suit to survive in space.
(D) The astronauts need a space suit to work outside the shuttle.
40. A parachute needs to be opened because it can
(A) help the shuttle glide through the atmosphere. (B) stop the shuttle from falling.
(C) make the shuttle get closer to Earth. (D) slow down the shuttle.
On December 26, 2003, the worst earthquake in more than a decade devastated Bam, a historic city in Iran. At least 25,000 people died in the quake—nearly a third of the city's population. And thousands more were left homeless, hungry, and grieving.
Bam was a city of mud-brick houses, old monuments and an ancient castle. But nearly everything crumbled in the disaster. One reason the earthquake caused such damage was that Bam's buildings were made mostly from baked mud. These buildings collapsed in heaps of dust and sand.
Bam was best known for its 2,000-year-old castle built out of mud, straw, and the trunks of palm trees.
The castle was so big that it was once the city of Bam itself. Public dwellings lined its ground level; a marketplace and two mosques also fit comfortably inside.
Bam once blossomed as a trading post on the Silk Road. In the 16th and 17th centuries, treasures from the Far East were carried along the road into the capital cities of Europe. Fifty years ago, teams of architects began restoring the historic treasures of the city. Ever since, thousands of visitors have come to admire them.
In the face of this tragedy, food and other supplies from around the world landed in the provincial capital of Kerman on Sunday. With such support, spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed, “We will rebuild Bam stronger than before.”
41. This passage is most likely taken from a(n) __________.
(A) book review (B) history textbook
(C) newspaper (D) magazine on international trade 42. What was Bam most famous for?
(A) Beautiful palm trees. (B) An old mud and straw castle.
(C) Frequent earthquakes. (D) Treasures from the Far East.
43. The use of baked mud for buildings explains ____________.
(A) why the earthquake occurred
(B) why the earthquake caused such damage (C) why Bam developed into a trading post (D) why Bam collected so many treasures
44. Which of the following is CORRECT about the earthquake in Bam?
(A) About 50,000 people survived the earthquake.
(B) Not many countries sent food and supplies to Bam.
(C) The 2003 earthquake was the first one in its history.
(D) The city of Bam would be deserted after the earthquake.
