18．June 11，2013was another big day for Chinese space exploration．Shenzhou X，China's fifth manned spacecraft，was sent into space．Three astronauts，Nie Haisheng，49，Zhang Xiaoguang，47，and Wang Yaping，33，stayed in space for 15days．
Tiangong-1is China's first space module（舱）．It was sent into space in 2011．It will be developed into a large space station around 2020．A space station is a lab for scientific studies．Shenzhou X performed its first docking（对接）with Tangong-1on June 13．It docked twice during the 15days．
The US，Russia，Japan，Canada and Europe are working together on the International Space Station （ISS）．China wanted to join the ISS but was refused by the US．China decided to build its own space station．
Shenzhou X flew around the Tianggong-1lab for the first time．This was to make sure that spacecraft could dock from more than just one direction．The astronauts carried out repair work and did experiments on the Tiangong-1．
Teaching from space
Wang Yaping，China's second woman astronaut，taught high school and primary school students about space science．Wang talked about how things move in a micro-gravity（微重量）environment．This helped the students better understand some physics ideas，like Newton's Law．The lessons aimed to encourage more students to learn about the universe and science．
Life up in space
The three astronauts followed a work and rest schedule（作息时间）that is similar on the Earth．They had Chinese dishes，such as Kung Pao Chicken and fried rice．The food was kept in special bags．At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival，they had Zongzi．

分析 2013年6月11日是中国太空研究的又一个大日子．神舟十号，中国第五艘载人飞船发射进入太空，有三个宇航员，聂海胜49岁、王亚平33岁、张晓光47岁在太空待了十五天．
中国第一个太空舱天宫一号在2011年发射进入太空．将会在2020年建成一个大的空间站．一个空间站是一个科学研究实验室．神舟十号飞船在6月13日与天宫一号完成第一次对接．十五天对接了两次．
美国，俄国，日本，加拿大和欧洲都在一起为国际太空站工作．中国想要加人国际空间站，但是被美国拒绝了，中国决定建立自己的空间站．
神州十号第一次围绕着天宫一号飞行．是为了确认宇宙飞船能在不止一个方向对接．宇航员实施修理工作和在天宫一号上做实验．
太空授课
王亚平，中国的第二位女宇航员，教中小学学生关于太空科学．王谈到在一个失重的环境东西是怎样移动的．这帮助学生更好的了解一些物理概论．例如牛顿定律，这些课程目的是为了鼓励更多的学生了解宇宙和科学．
太空生活
三名飞行员遵守的是和地球上一样的作息时间．他们吃中国菜，比如宫保鸡丁和炒饭．食物被装在特别的袋子里．在端午节这天他们吃了粽子．
解答 21．答案：A．细节理解题．根据短文第一段中June 11，2013 was another big day for Chinese space exploration．Shenzhou X，China's fifth manned spacecraft，was sent into space．可知神州十号，中国第五艘人造飞船在2013年6月11日发射升空，故选A．
22．答案：B．细节理解题．根据短文第一段的Three astronauts，Nie Haisheng，49，Zhang Xiaoguang，47，and Wang Yaping，33，可知聂年龄最大，故选B．
23．答案：C．细节理解题．根据短文第二段中Tiangong-1is China's first space module和It was sent into space in 2011可知天宫一号是一个2011年发射升空的太空舱，故选C．
24．答案：B．细节理解题．根据短文第三段中China wanted to join the ISS but was refused by the US．China decided to build its own space station．可知因为美国拒绝中国加入国际空间站，所以中国决定建造自己的空间站，由此可知选B．
25．答案：C．细节理解题．根据短文第五段最后一句The lessons aimed to encourage more students to learn about the universe and science．可知王亚平授课以鼓励学生们学习更多关于宇宙科学的知识，故选C．
26．答案：C．细节理解题．根据短文最后一段最后一句At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival，they had Zongzi．可知这三个飞行员用吃粽子来庆祝端午节，故选C．
点评 在解这类细节理解题时，可采用"对号入座"的办法，即带着问题找句子，先看文章后面的问题（这常常被认为是非常有效的方法），注意记忆关键的词语，如．人物、时间、事件等，确定每道题目的发问中心，也，就是说，某个问题是针对什么提问的．这样我们就可以带着问题去阅读文章，做到有的放矢．
