（每题2 分，共10 分）What is space tourism?Space tourism is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream –described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey – is now becoming a reality.Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions have come true yet – but the rapid development of technology may mean these predictions are a possibility in the years to come.Space Adventures is the only company to send people into space. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia. Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about the possibility of sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Passengers would go to a height of between 100 and 160km above earth, experience 3–6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about $200, 000 per person.While it could be an amazing experience, there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people worldwide who couldn’t pay for it.34. Which book described space tourism?35. When did the first man land on the moon?36. Which company can send people into space?37. What can people do with suborbital space travel?38. What is your opinion on space travel? And why?北京市石景山区2020-2021学年八年级上学期期末英语试卷四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。

Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5.The researchers from the Ohio State University wrote their findings in the Journal of Pediatrics.

Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of ten was overweight. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 at night, 16 percent (%) of the children became overweight. And out of those with the latest bedtimes, 23 percent of the children became overweight.“Having a usual bedtime routine can lower children’s risk (风险) of becoming overweight.
