【分析】
本题为太空生活主题的短文填空题，解题思路为：1. 通读全文理解大意，把握语境逻辑；2. 逐个分析每个空格的句子结构、固定搭配、词性要求、时态及逻辑关系；3. 结合括号内提示词或上下文确定答案；4. 最后验证答案是否符合语法和语境。
【解析】
1. 考查被动语态。主语I与动词tie是被动关系，需用“have to + be + 过去分词”结构，故填be tied。
2. 考查主谓一致。主语this为第三人称单数，全文为一般现在时，故填stops。
3. 考查固定搭配。“worry about”是固定短语，意为“担心”，故填about。
4. 考查名词复数。different后接可数名词复数，type的复数为types，故填types。
5. 考查词性转换。a后需接名词，please的名词形式为pleasure，意为“乐趣”，故填pleasure。
6. 考查逻辑连词。前后句为前果后因的关系，故填because。
7. 考查形容词比较级。此处指太空的简单任务比地球更难，需用比较级，故填harder。
8. 考查副词用法。修饰动词move需用副词，careful的副词形式为carefully，故填carefully。
9. 考查词性转换。be后需接形容词，stress的形容词形式为stressful，意为“有压力的”，故填stressful。
10. 考查冠词用法。amazing以元音音素开头，且experience为可数名词单数表泛指，故填an。
11. 考查代词用法。修饰名词routine需用形容词性物主代词，we的形容词性物主代词为our，故填our。
12. 考查时间状语从句。此处表示“当我们住在太空时”，引导时间状语从句用When，故填When。
13. 考查时态。if引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时，故填will be。
14. 考查副词用法。修饰整个句子需用副词，lucky的副词形式为Luckily，意为“幸运的是”，故填Luckily。
15. 考查固定搭配。“be different from”是固定短语，意为“与……不同”，故填from。
【答案】
1. be tied
2. stops
3. about
4. types
5. pleasure
6. because
7. harder
8. carefully
9. stressful
10. an

Eric: Really? 1.
Jack: Well, astronauts say weightlessness feels like floating. They can turn around easily and move by pushing walls!
Eric: Wow, that's cool! 2.
Jack: Earth looks like a huge shining ball from space. It's really beautiful!

Eric: Interesting! What is difficult about living in space?

2. What does Earth look like from space?
3. How do they eat up there?
4. Falling asleep is hard. / Sleeping is hard.
5. Will they be visited by other astronauts? / Will other astronauts visit them?

【分析】
补全对话需结合上下文的问答逻辑，先判断空白处是问句还是答句，再围绕话题（太空生活）选择符合语境的表达：第1空后Jack回答失重的感受，故Eric问失重的感觉；第2空后Jack回答地球从太空的样子，故Eric问地球从太空的外观；第3空后Jack讲太空食物的情况，故Eric问太空饮食方式；第4空后提到睡觉需绑住，故此处说明睡觉的困难；第5空后Jack用Yes回答，故Eric问一般疑问句（是否会被其他宇航员拜访）。
【解析】
1. 根据Jack的回答“astronauts say weightlessness feels like floating...”，可知Eric询问失重的感觉，对应填特殊疑问句；
2. 根据Jack的回答“Earth looks like a huge shining ball from space...”，可知Eric询问地球从太空的外观，对应填特殊疑问句；

3. How do they eat up there?
