After staying at the International Space Station(ISS,国际空间站) for nine months, American astronauts Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore finally returned to Earth. The Space X Dragon spacecraft(航天器) took them home.
Williams and Wilmore arrived on the ISS in June 2024 for a week-long trip. However, because of problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, they had to wait to return to Earth.
Life for the two astronauts in space was busy. They spent over 900 hours on science studies and did experiments that will help with future medical development. Williams also finished two spacewalks, bringing her total to nine—a new record for women astronauts.
To keep their bodies from getting too weak in the zero-gravity(零重力) environment, the astronauts exercised for at least two hours a day. They used special tools to copy the feeling of working out on Earth.
“We’re doing pretty well, actually. We’ve got food, we’ve got clothes. Both of us have trained to live and work on the International Space Station, and I think we’ve made the most of it,” said Williams.
Even with their efforts, they still became weaker. What’s more, Space travellers experience 100 times more radiation(辐射) than people on Earth, which may increase their risk of illness in the future.
The two astronauts not only worked in space but also did other things. For example, they wore Christmas hats and made video calls with their loved ones to celebrate the festival.

解析
【分析】
解答这类英语阅读理解细节题，需先通读原文把握文章大意，再针对每个问题的关键词回到原文定位相关语句，对比选项找出匹配答案。具体步骤：1. 18题锁定关键词“stay at ISS for nine months”，定位原文找滞留原因；2.19题锁定关键词“cause health problems”，定位原文找影响健康的因素；3.20题锁定关键词“communicate with families”，定位原文找沟通方式。
【解析】
18题：根据原文第二段“because of problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, they had to wait to return to Earth”，可知他们滞留国际空间站9个月是因为航天器出现问题，对应选项C。
19题：原文第四段提到零重力环境会让宇航员身体变弱，第六段提到辐射会增加未来患病风险，因此②③是影响健康的因素，对应选项B。
20题：原文最后一段明确提到“made video calls with their loved ones”，即宇航员通过视频电话和家人沟通，对应选项A。
