题目
Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts.However，only a few would make it.But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space？Not necessarily. In fact，some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just cool.One of the most interesting space jobs is "chief sniffer （嗅探员）".NASA has already had a sniffer named George Aldrich，whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange，but the job is actually important.A spaceship is of small size and high temperature，which makes smells inside stronger.And once a spaceship is sent，astronauts have no ways to run away from unpleasant smells.More importantly，smelling objects can help find things that could do harm to astronauts' health. Another job，the "space tour guide"，may seem a little ahead of its time—after all，there aren't any tourists there.But now，many companies are starting to provide space trips and some rich space lovers have ordered the tours.It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations （目的地）. Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge to help passengers get the most out of their journey.Space tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of the space travel. Astronauts often spend long time in space with the same group of people，which is why a "space psychologist （心理学家）" is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings. "We're crossing the boundaries （界限） between science fiction and reality，" said Rohit Talwar，director of the US company Fast Future Research， "Things we've seen in movies are now becoming reality!"根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）How many space jobs are mentioned in the text？ ____ A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.（2）What's George Aldrich's job at NASA mainly about？ ____ A．Cheering astronauts up with excellent stories.B．Cleaning up dangerous things found in spaceships.C．Checking the size and temperature of the spaceship.D．Keeping astronauts safe from things of unpleasant smells.（3）A space tour guide needs to be ____ .A．helpful in relaxing and full of energyB．rich in money and interested in spaceC．excellent in knowledge and good at storytellingD．successful in research and active in communicating（4）What does Rohit Talwar think of future research in space？ ____ A．It's relaxing.B．It's moving.C．It's exciting.D．It's worrying.（5）What is the best title for the text？ ____ A．True beauty of space travelB．Bright future of space researchC．Dangerous life of being a snifferD．More choices of working in space
