共享题干题 （二）The Mir Space Station 根据以下的材料回答下列问题： The Russian Mir Space Station, which came down in 2001 at last after 15 years of pioneering the concept of long-term human space flight, is remembered for its accomplishments in the human space flight history. It can be credited with many firsts in space. The Soviet Union launched Mir, which was designed to last from three to five years, on February 20, 1986, and housed 104 astronauts over 12 years and seven months, most of whom were not Russian. In fact, it became the first international space station by playing host to162 people from 11 countries. From 1995 through 1998, seven astronauts from the United States took turns living on Mir for up to six months each2. They were among the 37 Americans who visited the station during nine stopovers by space shuttles. The more than 400 million the United States provided Russian for the visits not only kept Mir operating, but also gave the Americans and their partners in the international station project valuable experience in long-term flight and multinational operations. A debate continues over Mir's contributions to science. During its existence, Mir was the laboratory for 23,000 experiments and earned scientific equipment, estimated to be worth $80 million, from many nations.3 Experiments on Mir arc credited with a range of findings, from the first solid measurement of the ration of heavy helium atoms in space to how to grow wheat in space. But for those favoring human space exploration, Mir showed that people could live and work in space long enough for a trip to Mars. The longest single stay in space is the 437.7 days that Russian astronaut Valery Polyakov spent on Mir from 1994 to 1995. And Sergie Avdeyev accumulated 747.6 days in space in three trips to the space station. The longest American stay was that of Shannon Lucid4, who spent 188 days aboard Mir in 1996. Despite the many firsts Mir accomplished, 1997 was a bad year out of 15 for Mir, In 1997, an oxygen generator caught fire. Later, the main computer system broke down, causing the station to drift several times and there were power failures. Most of these problems were repaired, with American help and suppliers, but Mir's reputation as a space station was ruined. Mir's setbacks arc nothing, though5, when we compare them with its accomplishments. Mir was a tremendous success, which will be remembered as a milestone in space exploration and the space station that showed long-term human habitation in space was possible. But it's time to move on to the next generation. The International Space Station being built will be better, but it owes a great debt to Mir.1.[不定向选择题]One of the contributions Mir makes to science is that, it__________A.help astronauts get close to Mar B.enables scientists to develop new scientific equipment C.sets a record of the longest single human stay in space D.shows that multinational operations in space are less expensive 2.[不定向选择题]What happened to Mir in 1997?A.it ran out its fun B.it was completely damaged by fir C.its reputation was ruined due to power failure D.its main computer system broke ou

1.参考答案：C
参考解析：根据第四段可知，其主要讨论Mir对科学的贡献，由五句话“The longest single stay in space is the 437．7 days that Russian astronaut Valery Polyakov spent on Mir from 1994 to 1995．”可知，在Mir上完成了太空中最长的一次停留时间的记录。因此，C选项符合文意。
2.参考答案：D
参考解析：根据文章第五段第三句话“Later，the main computer system broke down，causing the station to drift several times and there were power failures．”可知，在1997年，Mir的主要计算机系统崩溃了。D选项符合文意。3.[不定向选择题]We can learn from the passage that the Mir Space Station__________A.was designed to last over 5 year B.played host to 7 astronauts from different countrie C.was visited only by American D.was built by Russian
