Looking into space  Looking into space is something people do all the time. On a clear night, we are able to see some bright objects (物体) in the sky. These objects are in space. Things in space look very small to us, because they are very far away from us. But most of them are very large. What is space? Outside our world, there are many other objects. Some are colorful and big. Others are far away. But all of them are moving. In between, there are large empty gaps (缝隙). We call them space. We also use the word “space” to call everything outside our world. Our nearest (最近的) neighbor The moon is our nearest neighbor. It is between the sun and the earth. After the sun goes down, the moon is the brightest (最明亮的) thing in the sky. It looks quite big in our sky, but it is much smaller than the sun. Now, if we want to go into space, we can take a spaceship. |

4 . There are many stories and poems about the Moon in Chinese history. And now scientists send spaceships to the Moon. Why? Because people are always interested in the Moon and want to know more about it. Here is some information(信息) about it. Let’s see it together.
The Moon looks beautiful and bright at night. It is far away from the Earth and if you want to get to the Moon, it will take you about 6 months to get there by car at 95 km per hour.
There is no gravity on the Moon, so people can enjoy floating there. If you weigh 68 kg on Earth, you will weigh only 11 kg on the Moon.
There are many interesting places such as craters(陨石坑), mountains and lava plains(熔岩平原) on the Moon. There is no air on the Moon, so people can’t breathe on it.
On Earth, the day is usually warm and the night is cool. And there are four different seasons in a year. But on the Moon, the temperature is very high during the day and very low at night. And a full day on the Moon, from the sunrise to the next, lasts about 29.5 Earth days on average(平均).
The Moon doesn’t have its own light. It looks bright because it can reflect(反射) light from the Sun. When the Moon moves around the Earth, it gets different light from the Sun. So we find its size often changes.
1. Why are there many stories and poems about the Moon according to the text?| A．Because people in the past wanted to live on it. |
| B．Because people like it and want to know about it. |
| C．Because people in the past couldn’t understand it. |
| D．Because it is a symbol(象征) of beauty and love. |
| A．Less than 5 kg. |
| B．More than 10 kg. |
| C．Only 7 kg. |
| D．About 9 kg. |
| A．People can lose weight on the Moon and breathe in fresh air there. |
| B．People can float to the Moon now and enjoy themselves over there. |
| C．Two days on the Moon equal(等于) about fifty-nine days on Earth. |
| D．The day is very hot and the night is cool in the summer of the Moon. |
| A．To tell us some ways of travelling to the Moon. |
| B．To tell us some important facts about the Moon. |
| C．To tell us some interesting stories about the Moon. |
| D．To tell us the differences between the Earth and the Moon. |
5 . Scientists always want to know more about the universe（宇宙）.
Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away it was from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.
The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket.
How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.
Rockets can fly far out into space. They send spacecrafts to the moon. Spacecrafts with men in them have been to the moon. Several spacecrafts without men in them have flown to another planet much farther away from the moon. One day men may be able to go to any places in space.
1. Scientists have known _______ the moon is.| A．how long | B．how heavy | C．how soon | D．how far |
| A．by rocket | B．by plane | C．by satellite | D．by ship |
| A．there is no air in the plane so people can’t breathe |
| B．there is no air above 240 kilometers away from the earth |
| C．there is no gas in the plane so it can’t fly that far |
| D．the moon is too far away from the earth |
| A．keeping the man in the rocket warm | B．cooking food |
| C．making the rocket fly up | D．making the rocket lighter |
| A．The writer is not interested in getting to any place in space. |
| B．The writer thinks it is possible for rockets to go to any place in space. |
| C．The writer doesn’t believe it is possible to go to any place in space. |
| D．The writer thinks rockets can take men to go to the moon one day. |

Son: Look, Dad! How bright and near the moon looks tonight!
Father: But it isn’t as near as it looks.
Son: I know it’s far away from the earth.
Father: It’s three hundred and eighty thousand kilometers away.
Son: How far is that?
Father: Well, it takes more than three days to get there by spaceship.
Son: A spaceship flies very, very fast, doesn’t it?
Father: Yes. It flies at about eleven kilometers a second. In 1969 two Americans got to the moon by spaceship. That was one of the most exciting moments of that year.
Son: They didn’t find any living things there, did they?
Father: No, they didn’t. It’s too hot in the day and too cold at night. Nothing can live on the moon.
Son: I hear walking on the moon is more difficult. It’s like jumping and flying. Is that so?
Father: Yes, isn’t that interesting! Everything is much lighter on the moon. You can jump much higher on the moon than on the earth.
Son: I wish I could fly to the moon in a spaceship one day. It must be great fun.

9 . On May 15, 2021, China’s Tianwen Ⅰ probe (探测器) successfully landed on Mars (火星)! This was a very difficult job. Only the US has done it before Tianwen I’s long journey began in July 2020. It went into the orbit (轨道) of Mars in February. After lying around Mars for 3 months, it finally touched down on Mars.
The final landing was very dangerous. People call it the “nine minutes of terror (恐怖)”. The probe had to do everything by itself because the control room on Earth had no way to help it. It had to slow down from 20,000 km per hour to zero. How did Tianwen I do it?

People once thought the Moon had fire on it. They thought the fire made it bright. Now we know the Moon is like a mirror. It gets its light from the Sun.
