[2026重庆九龙坡区质检]①Have you ever imagined baking chicken in space? What do the freshly-made chicken wings taste like there? In November 2025, astronauts aboard China’s Tiangong space station made history by baking chicken wings in space. This was not just reheating food, but it was real cooking. How could they make it?
②A special hot-air oven was the key. This oven is a big step forward in improving astronauts’ lives. Astronauts have already tried baking popular dishes like “Orleans-style” chicken wings and black pepper beef steak.
③Cooking in space is very difficult. The first problem is heat. On Earth, hot air is light and rises. This helps ovens bake food. But in space, there is zero gravity (重力). Hot air does not rise. It just stays near the heater. This makes cooking very slow. The second problem is smoke and oil, which is called “invisible (隐形的) killer”. When cooking, small particles (颗粒) of oil and smoke go into the air. With no gravity, they will stay in the air instead of falling. Thus, they are harmful to the astronauts’ health.
④So, Chinese engineers built a “magic oven”. It has a fan inside which forces the hot air to move around just like on Earth. Another amazing fact is that the oven has a special kitchen hood (抽油烟机) built inside. When astronauts cook, smoke and oil particles stay in the air. This hood quickly catches all of them, cleans the air and lets only fresh air out. Also, a special ovenware (烤盘) can hold the food in place to prevent it from flying away. In addition, a special box inside is used to collect the waste when baking. All of the above are homegrown “black technology”.
⑤Before this invention, most space food products were precooked and ready-to-eat, with limited choices in taste and texture. Thanks to the oven, the astronauts’ menu has been enriched to over 190 types of food. ▲ Also, the “space garden” on board is also amazing. Astronauts have successfully grown fresh vegetables such as lettuce and cherry tomatoes, adding more fresh ingredients to their meals.
⑥“When astronauts stay in space for months, enjoying self-baked food not only satisfies their taste buds but also brings great comfort,” Liu Weibo, an expert in space life support technology said.

快速对答案 1—4 B C C D
1. B 推理判断题。根据“Have you ever imagined baking chicken in space? What do the freshly-made chicken wings taste like there?”可知，作者通过提问题开始文章。
2. C 细节理解题。根据“Also, a special box inside is used to collect the waste when baking.”可知，一个特殊的盒子被用于收集废弃物，C选项的图片与描述匹配。
3. C 推理判断题。空前介绍“太空烤箱”，空后提到“太空菜园”，说明烤箱不是唯一的改善航天员生活的措施，选项C(这台新烤箱只是中国持续改善航天员太空生活的努力的一部分。)符合语境。
4. D 推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段引出“太空烤鸡翅”的话题，第二段提出核心工具——特制烤箱，第三、四段介绍太空烹饪的困难及解决方法，第五段提及其他改善航天员生活的措施，第六段总结全文。故选D项。
