题目

The age of space science began less than thirty years ago. But already people have made great discoveries and have done exciting things. They have walked in space, visited the moon, and lived in space laboratories for long periods of time. Some scientists are now working on ways to make it possible for people to live on other planets. They are trying to solve problems of living in space, even though they don't yet know what all of the problems will be. For example, they don't yet know what problems people would have if they loved being weightless for years.The sentence "what problems people would have if they loved being weightless" (Line6, Para.1) is probably closest in meaning to____.A. people who were light had many problemsB. many people who loved to be very lightC. many problems people would face in spaceD. weightless people who loved to have problems

题目解答

答案

我们来逐步分析这个题目。 --- ### 一、理解句子的上下文 原文中提到： > Some scientists are now working on ways to make it possible for people to live on other planets. They are trying to solve problems of living in space, even though they don't yet know what all of the problems will be. **For example, they don't yet know what problems people would have if they loved being weightless for years.** 这段话的大意是： 科学家们正在研究让人类在其他星球上生活的方法。他们试图解决在太空中生活的问题，尽管他们还不知道所有的问题。**例如，他们还不知道如果人们长期处于失重状态，会遇到哪些问题。** --- ### 二、分析划线句子的含义 划线句子是： > **"what problems people would have if they loved being weightless for years."** 这句话的结构是虚拟语气，表示一种假设情况：“如果人们长期处于失重状态，他们会遇到什么问题”。 关键词解释： - **loved being weightless**：这里不是字面意思的“喜欢失重”，而是指“长期处于失重状态”。 - **problems people would have**：人们会遇到的问题。 所以整句话的意思是： > “如果人们长期处于失重状态，他们会遇到什么问题。” --- ### 三、选项分析 我们来看选项： #### A. people who were light had many problems 意思是：“那些体重轻的人有很多问题。” ❌ 不符合原句意思，原句说的是“失重”，不是“体重轻”。 #### B. many people who loved to be very light 意思是：“很多喜欢变得很轻的人。” ❌ 同样误解了“weightless”为“体重轻”，而且“loved to be very light”也不是原句的表达。 #### C. many problems people would face in space 意思是：“人们在太空中会面临很多问题。” ✅ 这个选项是对原句意思的合理概括。原句中的“loved being weightless for years”是一种假设，表示在太空中长期失重的情况，而“problems people would have”就是他们在太空中可能遇到的问题。 #### D. weightless people who loved to have problems 意思是：“那些喜欢有问题的失重的人。” ❌ 这个选项明显曲解了原句意思，逻辑不通。 --- ### 四、结论 最接近原句意思的选项是： $$ \boxed{C} $$

解析

本题考查对文章中句子含义的理解以及对选项的分析判断。解题思路是先理解句子所在的上下文，明确句子表达的核心意思，再对每个选项进行细致分析，判断其是否与原句意思相符。

  1. 理解句子上下文：
    • 文中提到科学家们在研究让人类在其他星球生活的方法，要解决太空生活的问题，尽管还不知道所有问题。接着举例说不知道人们长期处于失重状态会遇到什么问题。所以原句是在阐述太空生活中可能面临的问题。
  2. 分析划线句子含义：
    • “what problems people would have if they loved being weightless for years” 是虚拟语气，表达假设情况。“loved being weightless” 指长期处于失重状态，“problems people would have” 指人们会遇到的问题。整句话意思是如果人们长期处于失重状态会遇到什么问题。
  3. 选项分析：
    • A选项：“people who were light had many problems” 意思是体重轻的人有很多问题。原句说的是“失重”，并非“体重轻”，所以A选项不符合原句意思。
    • B选项：“many people who loved to be very light” 意思是很多喜欢变得很轻的人。同样误解了“weightless”为“体重轻”，且“loved to be very light”也不是原句表达的意思，所以B选项错误。
    • C选项：“many problems people would face in space” 意思是人们在太空中会面临很多问题。原句中“loved being weightless for years” 是太空生活中可能出现的情况，“problems people would have” 就是在太空中可能遇到的问题，C选项是对原句意思的合理概括，所以C选项正确。
    • D选项：“weightless people who loved to have problems” 意思是那些喜欢有问题的失重的人。明显曲解了原句意思，逻辑不通，所以D选项错误。
