Ⅳ.阅读理解
The documentary Space: The Longest Goodbye explores the important role of psychologists (心理学家) in preparing astronauts for missions to the moon and Mars. Even though NASA carefully plans and analyzes technical aspects of space travel, such as launch windows and flight orbits, the mental health of astronauts remains hard to control.
The necessity for psychological support became clear as astronauts started spending more time away from Earth, particularly with the construction of the International Space Station in 1994. With future missions aiming for longer periods of time, such as the scheduled three - year journey to Mars, the emotional stress of separation from loved ones becomes a major problem.
Directed by Ido Mizrahy, the documentary investigates the history of NASA's psychological team while following the experience of astronauts like Cady Coleman, a key member of NASA's Artemis programme. Coleman's story, especially the painfully - moving moments of her video chats with her son, uncovers the emotional sufferings experienced by astronauts and their families due to space travel. In addition, astronauts are also watched day and night while on board the space station, adding to their psychological stress.
The film describes the strategies the team applied to deal with these challenges, such as developing companion robots to ease loneliness, conducting desert simulations (模拟) to study interpersonal stress during long space missions and so on. There are a shockingly large number of ideas being tested for the astronauts.
Throughout the documentary, viewers are treated to breathtaking photos of space, presented together with the personal pains of the astronauts. This creates a mixture of both fear and hope, reflecting the difficult reality of being an astronaut.
In fact, Space: The Longest Goodbye offers an impressive exploration of the emotional and psychological journey of astronauts when they explore the vast space, fighting with the challenges of loneliness and longing while fighting for the success of discovery and exploration.
1. What influences the mental health of the astronauts most?
A. Nonstop observations in the space station.
B. Insufficient training before their missions.
C. Physical sufferings from long space travel.
D. Emotional stress of being apart from family.
2. How did the author show how NASA's psychological team managed to solve the difficulties?
A. By listing numbers.
B. By making a guess.
C. By asking questions.
D. By giving examples.
3. What does “This” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The records of space scenery.
B. The challenges of longer missions.
C. The comparison of film contents.
D. The fight of personal emotions.
4. What is the author's attitude towards the documentary?
A. Negative.
B. Unclear.
