Dear Peter,
I'm delighted to share the latest updates on China's Shenzhou-21 mission with you.

Shenzhou-21 blasted off successfully at 23:44 on October 31st. After entering orbit, it completed autonomous rapid docking with the Tiangong Space Station in just 3.5 hours. Early on November 1st, its crew met the Shenzhou-20 team, achieving China's 7th "space meeting"—a heartwarming reunion of the two commanders who first met three years ago.

Over the next six months, the crew will conduct various scientific experiments, including a weightlessness study on four mice, and finish in-orbit rotation with the Shenzhou-20 crew. This mission highlights China's advancing space capabilities. I'm confident that China will make more remarkable breakthroughs in deep-space exploration, such as manned lunar missions, in the years ahead.

Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

答案与解析

一、阅读理解

1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Shortly after entering orbit, it docked with the Tiangong Space Station via autonomous rapid rendezvous and docking technology in about 3.5 hours.”可知，神舟二十一号发射约3.5小时后与天宫空间站对接，故选B。
