Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)： I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him. Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away, I stayed alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat. But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell asleep. The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the flat, I tried to work out what to do with him. Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the flat door, he ran to me and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend. From then on, things grew easier. With Willis in my lap, time seemed to pass much faster. When the time finally came for me to return home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him. It's been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have said how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater. 【1】The writer felt ______ after her father passed away. A. happy B. lonely C. nervous D. relaxed 【2】As soon as the writer saw the cat, she ______. A. had pity on him B. showed no interest in him C. felt very frightened D. felt angry with his crying 【3】The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means that the writer ______. A. was too busy to keep the cat as a pet B. was used to staying alone in the flat C. needed something to fill my empty flat D. needed something to look after to kill time 【4】The cat rescued the writer by ______. A. telling her what real life was B. helping her tidy the flat every day C. helping her finish the tasks on time D. making her feel better in her hard times 【5】According to the passage, which of the following statements is True? A. The cat didn't like staying in the writer's flat. B. The writer and the cat were both homeless. C. Willis was also the name of the writer’s father’s friend. D.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） Being an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they can do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity (重力). However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show – because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still have tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do on the earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off your eyes. They just stay there." Besides making your vision (视力) unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on the earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the same in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is painful like crazy." Feustel told his teammate during the walk. Since gravity doesn't work in space astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet (头盔) to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait -- "When the tears get big enough, they simply break free of the eye and float around, astronaut Ron Parise said. There are lots of small things - things like crying that we are so used to on the earth. We usually take them for granted (认为理所当然), until they become a problem in a completely different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They can't eat or drink in normal ways; They can't even burp (打嗝) because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomachs. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomachs, according to the UK National Space Center. Thus perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best." 【1】Is crying more difficult in space than on the earth? _______________________________________________________________________ 【2】What happens to tears when astronauts cry in space? ______________________________________________________________________ 【3】Who experienced that the tears in space caused pain rather than comfort? _______________________________________________________________________ 【4】How do astronauts get rid of the tears in space? ______________________________________________________________________ 【5】Why can't astronauts burp in space? _______________________________________________________________________ 【6】In the last paragraph, the writer says: perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best." Do you agree with the writer? Why or why not? _____________________________________________________________________
