17.Many hundreds of years ago,the moon was a mystery to people on the earth.What was that glowing ball came out at night?Why did it keep getting smaller,then larger?Why didn't it fall from the sky?Through the ages,people have tried to come up with answers.To the native people of Bolivia,in South American,the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth.The Abaluyian people of Kenya,in Africa,believe the moon and the sun were brothers who fought in the sky.In other parts of the world,people believed they saw different pictures in the moon.The Haida Indians of Canada saw a woman carrying a bucket.The Chinese saw a road.
People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar.In fact,in some languages,the word for moon meant"month".A Native American nation called the Sioux made a calendar of 13moons,or months.Each moon had a name,such as Moon of Black Cherries,Moon of Green Corn,and Moon of Severe Cold.
Though people of the past found the moon was helpful,mysterious and interesting,they didn't know much about it.They only knew what they could see with their own eyes.
Then almost 400years age,an Italian acientist named Galileo made a new telescope(望远镜) that was more powerful than any telescope made before.Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon.He discovered that the moon was not the smooth,shiny ball.The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains.The flat areas were lower,which is why they appeared darker.
As more people saw the moon through telescopes,they discovered more about it.Yet,people still had much to learn about the moon.
34.Which name of the moon is NOT mentioned in the passage?B
A.Moon of Severe Cold.
B.Moon of Red Trees.
C.Moon of Black Cherries.
D.Moon of Green Corn.
35.The underlined word"implement"probably means.C

D.habit
36.From this passage,we can know that.B
A.Thousands of years ago,Galileo used his implement to look at the moon
B.People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar

分析 很多年以前,月球对于地球上的人来说是一个谜,那个发光的球体晚上出来干什么?为什么它忽大忽小?为什么它不会从天上掉下来?古往今来,人们试图找到这些问题的答案.对于南美洲玻利维亚的原住民来说,月球曾是住在地球上的一个首领,非洲肯尼亚人则相信月球和太阳是在空中作战的兄弟.在世界的其他地区,人们相信他们在月球上看见了不同的图片,加拿大海达印第安人看见一个妇女拎着一个桶,中国人在看见一条路.
虽然古代人发现月球对人类有帮助,神奇并且有趣,但是他们对月球了解不多,他们只知道他们用肉眼所观察到的,大约400年前,一位名叫伽利略的科学家发明了一种新型的望远镜,这种望远镜比以前任何望远镜都要强大,伽利略决定带上他的新工具观测月球,他发现月球并不是一个光滑的发光体.亮度大的地方几乎全是山,平坦地带地势低,所以发暗,因为更多的人通过望远镜看到了月球,对地球有了更多的发现,对于月球,人们要了解的还很多.
解答 34.答案:B 细节理解题 根据原文中的Each moon had a name,such as Moon of Black Cherries,Moon of Green Corn,and Moon of Severe Cold.可知选项B中的Moon of Red Trees没有在短文中提到.故选B
35.答案:C 词义猜测题 联系上文an Italian acientist named Galileo made a new telescope(望远镜) that was more powerful than any telescope made before"一位名叫伽利略的科学家发明了一种新型的望远镜,这种望远镜比以前任何望远镜都要强大",推测本句表达的意思是"伽利略决定带上他的新工具观测月球",所以implement的意思是"工具",故选C
36.答案:B 细节理解题 根据原文中的People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar"古代人还使用月球作为一种日历来标记时间"判断选项B正确,其他三个选项,选项A根据原文中的"Then almost 400years ago,an Italian acientist named Galileo made a new telescope大约400年前,一位名叫伽利略的科学家发明了一种新型的望远镜,"判断是错误的;选项C,根据原文中的"The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains.亮度大的地方几乎全是山"判断错误;选项D,根据原文中的"To the native people of Bolivia,in South American,the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth.对于南美洲玻利维亚的原住民来说,月球曾是住在地球上的一个首领"可知推断错误,故选B
