A
Scientists wanted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to know more about the moon. 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 f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly 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 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) far out into space. Rockets with space-ships with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets with spaceships with men have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in the space.
1. Scientists can be sent to the moon by ______.
A. plane B. rocket C. satellite D. man-made satellite
2. The earth is about 384,000 kilometers away from the ______.

B
In the universe, as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and many stars. In our geography lessons, we know the earth goes round the sun, and the moon goes round the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.
Just because the moon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is nearer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.
The sun is bri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the earth.
There are still man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y other planets in the universe. All of them move round the sun. But of all these planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9:00 a. m, on October 15th 2003, Chinese pilotYang Liwei was sent up to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.
6.We find the sun ______ than the moon because it is ______ to us.
A. bigger; farther ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. smaller; nearer C. bigger; closer D. smaller; farther
7. When our part of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the earth turns away from the sun, the other part of the earth is ______.
A. night B. day C. evening D. Sunday
8. People and living things can live on the ______.
A. earth B. Mars C. moon D. sun
9. When did the pilot from our country return to the earth
A. On November 15th, 2002.
B. On October 16th, 2003.
C. On May 5th, 2004.
D. On October 15th, 2003.
10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The moon goes round ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the earth, and it can't give out any light at all.
B. The moon goes round the sun, and its light is from the sun.
C. The earth moves ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) round the moon, and people can live only on the earth.
D. Of all the planets, only the earth moves round the sun.
Ⅷ.阅读表达（10分）
Venus 金星 is only a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )little smaller than the earth, about 95% of the earth’s diameter (直径) and 80% of the earth’s mass (质量). The word Venus means the goddess of love and beauty in Greek. We name the planet so probably because it is one of the brightest planets we have known by now. We human beings have known Venus for a long time. It is the brightest thing in the sky except the sun and the moon. Venus reaches its maximum (最大的) brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, and is often thought of as the Morning Star or as the Evening Star. A lot of observation of Venus was important to Copernicus’s heliocentric theory (日心说) of the solar system. In 1962 scientists sent the first spacecraft (宇宙飞船) to explore Venus. So far there ______ (be) more than 20 and we will know more about Venus in the future.

Dear Jack,
I’m writing a le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tter to you from Mars. It’s really wonderful to live on Mars.
I think life on Mars ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is more comfortable and more interesting than that on earth. We have online schools instead of real ones. Robots do most of our housework so we have more free time. Mars is very beautiful. There are green trees and beautiful flowers everywhere, and there is no pollution here. We have big supermarkets near our houses. They make our life more convenient.
Well, I hope to see you soon. Good luck!
Yours,
Betty
