What kind of human being will the future spaceman be?

Will he need bones of steel and powerful muscles to resist rocket thrust，the lungs of a glass blower，a mighty heart，the calmness of an acrobat，unconscious death urges，or a schizophrenic(患精神分裂癥的)drove toward isolation? Popular ideas of a spaceman tend to be funny composites of fiction and fact.

A more realistic portrait emerges from the young science of bioastronautics，the newest and strangest of medical disciplines.The astronaut may be described as a young man of high intelligence who is normal to an abnormal degree.On earth he may well have been a high diver，high jumper，pole�瞯aulter，or acrobat.He must be highly motivated，carefully trained，and he must want to come back.

His heart and lungs must be healthy but need not be exceptionally developed，for his cabin will be pressurized.Huge muscles may actually be disadvantageous，for he will have almost no way to get exercise，and he will find that the strength of a year�瞣ld child is adequate in the weightlessness of space.A firm body and a short， strong neck will help him to withstand(抗拒;經(jīng)得起……)the tremendous forces encountered at take�瞣ff.Most important physically，his digestive system must be one that will not be upset by weightlessness;he must not be subject to motion sickness.

Passage Three

With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste.The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.

The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out.The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city.This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel，lead and copper，but also paper and rubber as well.

Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish.When this project is complete，the rubbish will be processed like this：First，it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed;then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids;after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken.Finally，the rubbish will pass under magnets(磁鐵)，which will remove the bits of iron and steel;the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.

The first full�瞫cale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away.Indeed，with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps，some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.

() 48.What�餾 the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?

B.To protect the environment from pollution.

C.To get raw materials locally.

D.To get big profits from those plants.
