阅读理解

    Around 200 years ago, a well-known English poet called John Keats said something against science. He said that British scientist Isaac Newton had "take apart the rainbow (彩虹)”. Newton explained how light forms a rainbow. For Keats, this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful.

    This is just one example of many. We often hear people talk of problems with science, or say that it is boring. Some people, like Keats, also say that science takes away the beauty of the world. But is this fair?

    First of all, science helps us get things done. We need to study science to produce certain kinds of people. After all, where would we be without engineers and doctors? When you are studying science in school, remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge, or save a life. Next time you use your phone to send a message, remember that this is possible thanks to science.

    Science not only helps society and gets things done, but also makes us think in a certain way. It asks us to believe things only through evidence(证据). It teaches us 'never to trust our beliefs in mind. It teaches us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.

    When you study science, remember what it means. Science has changed the world, and it can change you too. Humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful. Science explained them, and they were no longer difficult to understand for us.

    Discovery never stops, and, through science, we can always find new rainbows beyond our eyes.

More than 50 years have passed since anyone set foot on the Moon. But soon, astronauts will return there with a new type of spacesuit (宇航服). Those old ones were really heavy and didn't fit every astronaut well, especially for women. So, NASA has to make some changes to them for the first time in 40 years. 

"The astronauts will find big improvements in these spacesuits" said NASA engineer Carly Meginnis. The new suit has more joints (关节), especially in the lower part of the body. This will offer astronauts more flexibility to perform tasks like kneeling and walking (not "rabbit jumping") on the moon. The gloves need to be protective and allow astronauts to do work as freely as possible. The new gloves have heaters (加热器) to keep fingers warm, since fingers become the coldest parts of body in space. Also, the spacesuit has a cooling system with water moving around to take away the unwanted heat. Another change is that the new helmet (头盔) provides a better view for astronauts. It even adds lights and an HD camera inside to take clearer videos. 

There are still some problems that need to be solved. For example, it still takes up to four hours to put on the spacesuit, even with the help from their partners (搭档). Moreover, scientist hope that spacesuits will be able to be designed to help astronauts work together with robots in the future.

 阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A—F 六个选项中选择正确的选项,将其序号填入第41—45小题。其中一项是多余选项。
