题目内容
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
The moon is nearer to us than the sun. It is about 240,000 miles away. The sun is much farther, 93 million miles from us. When we look at the moon, it looks almost as large as the sun. That is because it is much nearer. The sun is really much larger.
The sun is a star. It is a ball of fire; it sends our light. The moon is rock and hard.It isn't hot. It doesn't send out light; it reflects light. This means that the moon doesn't make its own light. The sun sends out its light to the moon. Then the moon sends the sun's light back to the earth.
The moon is very different from the earth. There isn't any air on it. It is both very hot and very cold there. The part in the sunshine is very hot, but the part in the dark can be 200°F(129°C )below zero.
There aren't any trees, grass, or water on the moon. All you can see are rocks and deserts. There are many mountains that are from two to five miles high. There are round holes in the moon called craters. There are at least 30,000 of them on the moon. Some of the craters are half a mile wide, but some are as large as 160 miles wide.
A moon is a satellite, a smaller object in space that goes around a planet. Our moon goes around our earth. It takes it about 28 days to go around the earth once. At the same time, the moon itself also turns. This takes about 28 days too. This is why one side of the moon is always turned away from us. Spaceships went around the moon in the 1960's. They took the first picture of the other side of the moon.
In July 1969, two men from the United States stepped on the moon from a spaceship. They took some machines there to make some tests. They brought back 48 pounds of rocks from the moon.
That first trip to the moon was very important. It was the first time that human beings had walked on a heavenly body other than the earth. It was a beginning. It was
a step to all the other planets and stars.
