Question

　　A few days ago, few people knew his name or his face. But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei's smile was seen across the world.

　　The 38-year-old astronaut (宇航員) was sent into space at 9:00 am, last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou V Spaceship, and it travelled round the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 am, the next day. That made China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the USA.

　　Yang was pleased with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes ever before on video tapes, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.

　　Anybody who saw the breaking-up of the US space plane named Columbia in February of 2003 knew that Yang was in great danger.

　　Yang experienced very high temperature, while the gravitational forces (地心引力) on taking off and landing were strong enough to make tears from his eyes.

　　He has spent five years training to become a spaceman after 1350 hours' flying in the air. Although it was hard work, Yang loved it. Yang's success was well worth all the hard work. Yang has become China's first spaceman.

Answer 1

答案：D;C;A;A;B
解析：

(1) 通讀全文可知楊利偉花了21小時(shí)繞地球14圈，at a time意為“一次”，題意是說(shuō)神州五號(hào)飛船繞地球一圈需多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，故應(yīng)用21小時(shí)×60分鐘÷14圈＝90 (分鐘)，因此選D。 (2) 從文章第二段可知，中國(guó)、前蘇聯(lián)和美國(guó)都成功地向太空發(fā)射過(guò)載人飛船，故可知有三個(gè)國(guó)家，因此選C。 (3) 從文章第五段可知，宇宙飛船脫離地球和著陸時(shí)，宇航員不得不經(jīng)歷高溫，故選A。 (4) 從文章第二段第一句話可知，是神州五號(hào)飛船把楊利偉送上了太空，故選A。 (5) 從文章最后一段第一句話He has spent five years training to become a spaceman after 1350 hours' flying in the air. 可知楊利偉花了5年的時(shí)間訓(xùn)練，故選B。
