B Since the end of its own space shuttle program in 2011, the US has used Russian Soyuz spacecraft every time it wants to transport humans to and from space. While NASA
26、is busy working on its own solution, the agency has increasingly turned to US private companies, such as Elon Musks SpaceX, to meet its off-planet transportation needs. Although SpaceX has successfully flown cargo （货物）flights for NASA since 2012 via the reusable Dragon spacecraft, the company has ye
27、t to launch humans in its so-called Crew Dragon capsule. Originally scheduled to launch in 2017, the program has seen multiple delays. After all, it is rocket science and the path has not been easy. But 2019 seemed different. NASAs pre-purchased Soyuz flights had run out by the end of 2019, and Spac
28、eX, along with Boeing, had scheduled all its final tests to achieve certification in time to pick up where Soyuz left off. On March 2, the Crew Dragon capsule was launched on a run without crew toward the International Space Station （ISS）. The flight, known as Demo-1, went successfully. The next maj
29、or milestone scheduled was the in-flight abort test （飞行中止测试），another dry mission meant to test the reliability of the abort system that would save the crew in case of any accident during launch. The plan was to use the same capsule from the Demo-1 flight. But SpaceX never got the chance. In April 20
30、19, the company ran what was supposed to be a routine test, firing certain rockets with the capsule anchored firmly to the ground. Some 100 milliseconds before the engines fired, a leak of oxidizer caused an explosion that completely destroyed the capsule. SpaceX spent the rest of spring and early s
31、ummer figuring out what had gone wrong and pushing preparations for a replacement capsule. While the problem is now solved and the Crew Dragon spacecraft for Demo-2 has arrived at the launch site, NASA and SpaceX havent set an exact date for the first test flight with astronauts to the ISS. 58.

34、n Musks SpaceX D. Doubts about Off-planet Transportation C There are times when I set off for my running-group sessions with little enthusiasm.

35、. It was yet another cold, dark, wet evening and I wasnt feeling the love as I gathered all the necessary outfitshead torch, reflective waterproof jacket, hat and gloves.

36、t runners making a dash through the rain to our meeting point, where others were already working out to stay warm, with chat, laughter and hugs. They, too, I realized, might be tired, stressed or busy. But, unlike me, they had a choice about whether to come running or stay at home. And that makes th
37、eir decision to comeand to keep on comingall the more uplifting. As on so many other occasions, I went home from the run feeling better than when Id arrived. I believe one of the strongest motivations behind these runners decisions to come along is being part of a group. Belonging to a running commu
38、nity makes running greater than the sum of its parts. Its no longer just a workout; its a catch-up with friends, a laugh and a shared experience. It provides a space to share your running triumphs and disappointments, to be congratulated and comforted, and, just as important, to congratulate and com
39、fort others. Research has long shown the likelihood of staying motivated is higher when exercise takes place in a group. The reasons are many. A study at the University of Southern California found people enjoy physical activity more when they are with others and are more likely to keep it up over t
40、he long term. Theres also an element of social facilitationan Im not going to let XX beat me attitude that drives you to push harder and produces a greater sense of achievement. And research by Strava in 2017 found running in a group made runners go faster and further. Using data from 90 million run
41、s taking place all over the world, Strava found that the average pace of runs taking place in a group was seven seconds per mile quicker than solo runs, and the distance covered was an average of 1.3 miles further. I joke about people being more motivated to come to my running sessions by the tea an
42、d biscuits afterwards than by the running itself. Theres probably some truth in that, but it doesnt matter. Those laughter- and chatter-filled minutes are every bit as important as the running in between. 61. The author sometimes feels _ to go coaching the running group. A. reluctant B. content C. e
43、xcited D. frustrated 62. Why is being part of a group most motivational? A. It involves a coach offering assistance. B. It creates space to socialize with others. C.

45、group stand out of all D. add more life to their running experience D At the end of the 19th century, one in seven people around the world had died of tuberculosis or TB for short （肺结核），and the disease ranked as the third leading cause of death in the United States. While physicians had begun to acc
46、ept that TB was caused by bacteria, this understanding was slow to catch on among the general public, and most people gave little attention to the behaviors that contributed to disease transmission. They didnt understand that things they did could make them sick. It was common for family members, or
47、 even strangers, to share a drinking cup. In the 1890s the New York City Health Department launched a massive campaign to educate the public and reduce transmission. The War on Tuberculosis public health campaign discouraged cup-sharing and urged states to ban spitting inside public buildings and on
48、 sidewalks and in other outdoor spaces. Changes in public behavior helped successfully reduce the spread of TB. Disease can permanently change society, and often for the best by creating better practices and habits. Crisis sets off action and response. Many infrastructure improvements and healthy be
49、haviors we consider normal today are the result of past health campaigns that responded to serious outbreaks. In the 19th century, city streets in the U.S. overflowed with dirt. People threw their unwanted newspapers, food scraps, and other trash out of their windows onto the streets below. The plentiful horses pulling streetcars and delivery carts dropped urine and waste every day. Human waste was a problem, too. Those in tenement （租户）housing did not have their own facilities, but had 25 t
