二、阅读理解。
The dark ages couldn’t last forever. Around the 16th century, European science got going again. At this time, people still believed that the earth was the centre of the universe. They knew little about space.
Most of us have looked up at the sky and wondered what is out there. People did this rather a lot in the 16th century. They wondered what was out there in the darkness.
Have you ever known the truth, but found that no one else believed you Polish scientist Nicolaus Copernicus （1473-1543） felt exactly like this. He believed the sun was at the centre of the universe, with the earth moving around it. We all know this is true now, but people thought this was crazy at the time. Almost no one believed him.
Later, Johannes Kepler （1571-1630）, from Germany, showed that the planets move around the sun. Again, very few believed him. He used maths to show Mars was moving. He’s a good example of never giving up-it took him 40 tries to prove his ideas. Before him, people
didn’t even know what planets were. Later, Italian scientist Galileo Galilei （1564-1642） provided even more proof （证据）.
All of these new ideas changed the world, and changed where the world was thought to be. But change nearly always caused problems and disagreement. The sun is at the centre of the universe, but many found it impossible to accept.

四、阅读理解。
We have always been interested in the moon. 2,000 years ago, people already knew that the moon moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learnt by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes （望远镜） to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would
be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity （引力） millions of years earlier.
In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4
billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

Life on Mars
I think living on Mars has some advantages. It will be really wonderful to live on Mars. Life on Mars will be more interesting and more comfortable than that on the earth. We can take online classes instead of real ones. We can also have more space. We have robots at home and they can do some work for us. Also, the things on Mars will be cheap.
But there are also some disadvantages. It’s very far from the earth. There is no food, water or oxygen on Mars. We will not be used to living there, so we may get ill. We may meet some dangerous aliens and it’s easy to float away on Mars.
