But after three months' professional(专业的) training, she changed her mind. She went to Stanford University and started to study science. She studied stars and planets. She did researches at the university and got her PhD in astrophysics (天体物理学博士学位) after several years' hard work.
In 1977, she took a test to become an astronaut. And then she was picked up from over 8, 000 people. In order to realize her dream of going into space, she had to get different kinds of special and difficult training. She learned how to fly a plane, how to jump out of a plane as well as how to operate(操作) special machines.
Sally and four other astronauts flew a spaceship called Challenger on Jun. 18, 1983. She became the first American woman to travel into space. Later, she taught at the University of California. Then she wrote seven books on space for children, encouraging children to study science. Unfortunately, she died in 2012.

Do you know Venus (金星)？Of the eight planets Venus is the nearest one to us. Venus was the Roman goddess (女神) of love and beauty. In Greek her name was Aphrodite. Venus and the Earth are almost the same size, and you would weigh almost the same on both planets. If you were 70 pounds on Earth, you would be 63 pounds on Venus.
Venus is an “unfriendly” planet. Because of its thick cloud，you can't see the surface (表面). In many ways Venus is like the Earth. It has active volcanoes (火山)，mountains and valleys，too. But Venus is too hot for life. It has the highest temperature of the planets in our solar system，about 480℃. Besides, the Earth lets heat out through volcanoes, hot springs, but Venus lets heat out in a different way. Venus has no moons. Scientists call Venus the Earth's sister planet because Venus and the Earth are almost the same size. For a long time most scientists thought that Venus probably had plants, animals, and possibly even human beings. However, because Venus is so hot，it is impossible for anything to live there.
59. If you are 60kg on Earth, you will be about____on Venus.
A. 20kg B. 54kg C. 63kg D. 70kg
60. Why is Venus an 搖nfriendly planet?
A. It's the nearest planet to us.
B. It's almost the same size as the Earth.
C. People can't see it clearly from the outside.
D. Anything can't live there.
61. Which one is NOT right according to the passage?
A. The Earth and Venus are similar in size.
B. Both the Earth and Venus have active volcanoes.
C. The surface of Venus is much hotter than that of the Earth.
D. Venus has the same way to let heat out as the Earth.
62. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Planets Around Us
B. Life on Other Planets
C. The Story of Earth
D. The Introduction to Venus
C
There are millions of stars and planets in space. What's the difference between stars and planets? Stars can give out heat and light, but planets cannot.
The sun is one of the stars. Some planets are balls of rock and some are balls of gas. We live on the planet earth. The earth spins once every day to give us day and night. The earth goes around the sun once every year to give us different seasons.
There are eight planets moving around the sun. We call the family of the sun and its planets the solar system. Mercury is the nearest to the sun, so it is very hot. It is the smallest planet. Venus is very bright and hot. It is the nearest to the earth. Mars is covered with orange璻ed dust and rocks, so it looks like a red star in the sky. It has seasons like the earth. Jupiter has more than 16 moons(卫星)and it is the biggest and heaviest planet. Saturn has more than 22 moons. The other planets, such as Uranus and Neptune are all very far from the sun and very cold. We need a telescope(望远镜) to see them.
63. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “spins” is____.
A. 飞行 B. 行驶 C. 旋转 D. 公转
64. The earth goes around____once every year to give us different seasons.
A. the moon B. Mars C. Jupiter D. the sun
65. Mars looks red in the sky because____.
A. it is covered with orange?red dust and rocks
B. it has seasons like the earth
C. it is the nearest to the earth
D. it is covered with red water and dust
D
When we talk about the universe, we mean not only the earth, the sun and the moon, but also the stars and space between them. There are millions of stars in our sky. The sun is one of them. Around it there are eight big planets moving, including the earth. The moon is our nearest neighbour in space. If you look at the sky on a clear night, it is possible to see about 3, 000 stars. They look small, but they are really very big hot balls of burning(燃烧着的) gas. Some of them are huge(巨大的), but others are much smaller like our planet Earth. The biggest stars are very bright, but they can only live for a short time. Every day new stars are born and old stars die.
All the stars are very far away. The light from the nearest star (except the sun) takes more than four years to reach the earth.
Hundreds of years ago, people used stars, like the North Star, to know which direction(方向) to travel in. Today you can still see that star.
66. The universe means____.
A. the earth
B. the sun, the moon and the stars
C. space between the stars
D. all of the above
67. There are____big planets around the sun.
A. millions of B. 3, 000
C. nine D. eight
68. The light from the nearest star (except the sun) takes more than____to get to the earth.
A. four years B. 1, 000 weeks
C. 100 years D. four light years
E
All the planets in the solar system travel around the sun. There are eight planets in the solar system. Years ago, there were nine planets. Ever since Pluto(冥王星)was demoted(使降级), we've had just eight planets.
Some scientists have studied the farthest reaches of our solar system. They believe there might be another planet out there. They call it Planet Nine. What would Planet Nine be like? Scientists believe it could be about three times larger and ten times heavier than the earth.
If Planet Nine is out there, why haven't we found it yet? Scientists are still searching for it because it's so far away. They believe it could take Planet Nine as long as 20，000 years to make one trip around the sun. Scientists also think Planet Nine could be about 10，000 times darker than Pluto.
It is very difficult to search for such a dark planet in the whole solar system. Could our solar system have a ninth planet? We hope to know the answer in the near future.
69. From the first paragraph, we can know Pluto____.
A. is called Planet Nine
B. was a planet years ago
C. travels around the earth
D. is in the centre of the solar system
70. Scientists think Planet Nine may be____.
A. about three times larger than the sun
B. out of the solar system
C. about ten times heavier than the earth
D. the nearest planet from Pluto
71. We haven't found Planet Nine yet because____.
A. it's far and dark
B. it doesn't travel around the sun
C. it's large and heavy
D. it's 20，000 times darker than Pluto
72. Which of the following could be the best tile for the passage?
A. Solar System
B. Dark Pluto
C. Planet Nine
D. Eight Planets

A Journey to Mars
Now we are in 2050. Our school organized a great trip to Mars a few days ago. We went to Mars by spaceship. On Mars we went everywhere. We found a lot of things different from those on our earth. The environment there was very beautiful. We also had a party. Many students took an active part in the party, and their songs were very nice. Finally, we made a telephone call with aliens. We all had a good time.
The trip was very interesting and I'll never forget the trip. I hope to travel to Mars again.
