四、阅读短文，选择正确答案：

Like all the planets in our solar system, Earth and Mars go around the sun. But Earth is closer to the sun, and therefore revolves along its orbit(轨道) more quickly. Earth makes two trips around the sun in about the same amount of time that

Mars takes to make one trip. So sometimes the two planets are on opposite sides of the sun, very far apart, and other times, Earth catches up with its neighbor and passes relatively close to it.

Since Mars and the sun appear on opposite sides of the sky, we say that Mars is in “opposition”. Mars oppositions happen about every 26 months. Every 15 or 17 years, opposition occurs within a few weeks of Mars’ perihelion(近日点). An opposition can occur anywhere along Mars' orbit. When it happens while the red planet is closest to the sun (called “perihelic opposition”), Mars is particularly close to Earth. If Earth and Mars both had perfectly stable orbits, then each perihelic opposition would bring the two planets as close as they could be. So, with all these added factors, some bring us closer together than others. The 2003 opposition was the closest approach in almost 60,000 years!

Mars’ orbit is more elliptical(椭圆的) than Earth’s, so the difference between perihelion and aphelion(远日点) is greater. Over the past centuries, Mars’ orbit has been getting more and more elongated, carrying the planet even nearer to the sun at perihelion and even farther away at aphelion. So future perihelic oppositions will bring Earth and Mars even closer. Our 2003 record will stand until August 28, 2287!

1. Mars ______.

A. isn’t one of the planets in our solar system B. is farther from the sun than the earth C. never meets Earth close

D. and Earth have the same orbit around the sun

2. The time Mars takes to go around the sun is _________ that Earth needs A. as long as B. not so long as

C. as about two times long as D. as about three times long as

3. Which of the following statement is not right?

A. When Mars is in “opposition”, Mars and the sun are opposite in the sky.

[来

B. Mars oppositions happen about every 15 or 17 years. C. An opposition can occur everywhere along Mars’ orbit. D. Mars oppositions happen about every 26 months.

4. In the sentence “? Mars’ orbit has been getting more and more elongated?”，elongated means _______.

A. 伸长的 B. 拉长 C. 延长 D. (被拉得)细长的

5. From the passage, we can know the next perihelic opposition _______. A. is the closest approach in almost 60,000 years B. will bring Earth and Mars even farther C. will happen on August 28, 2287 D. is in 2003

A Little Help from the Sun

Even though Mars doesn't always come close enough for astronomers（天文学家）to get a good look at it when Earth speeds past, scientists have an opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars every 26 months.

Unlike vehicles in science fiction movies, spaceships don't just take off in any

direction. Escaping（避开）Earth's gravitational pull requires a lot of energy. Even then, without an extra push, a spacecraft would never reach the orbit of Mars. To get a spacecraft to Mars, scientists time the launch so the spacecraft reaches Mars when the red planet is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. This way, they take advantage of solar gravity, which causes a spacecraft to “fall” toward the sun, traveling in an arc around it. This motion follows physical laws described by Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler in the 17th century.

”What you want to do is launch the spacecraft so it goes around the sun to meet Mars, ” says Jah. “We give it the least amount of energy possible and let the sun's

gravity do as much as it can for us. ”

As a result, like a warrior in a Roman chariot race, the spacecraft comes up on Mars from behind. But instead of sailing past, it slows down and lands.

2. If a spaceship wants to escape Earth’s gravitational pull, what does it need? ______________________________________________________________ 3．When can the spacecraft get to Mars by the scientists’ opinion? ______________________________________________________________

4．Who described the physical laws that were mentioned in the passage in the 17th century?

It seems impossible today, but by the year 2314, we will be able to live on Venus. Here is a guide to what I think life on Venus will be like.

First of all, the temperature on Venus is too high to support life. However, scientists will try to find a way to build spacesuits and space houses to keep us cool and safe from the heat. It will use the power of the sun. Everything will be

very expensive on Venus because they are from Earth. On Venus, the food will be very dry and tasteless. If you have a lot of money, you can buy the food that comes from Earth every week.

The best thing about life on Venus is the transport. Because there are fewer people on Venus than on Earth, there is more space and fewer cars on the road. Also, high-speed electronic trains connect people’s homes to everywhere else. You can go to school, go shopping, go to work fast, safely and conveniently, just within minutes.

1.B 2. C 3. A 4.C 5. B C：

Even if you are a good high jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity. You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.?Since there is gravity, water runs down hills. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls(旋转) around.?

Then, can we get away from the earth and go far away into the space? Now you can do it, because the spaceships have been invented. The spaceship will go so fast that it can escape the earth gravity and carry you into space.? 1.T 2. T 3. F 4.T 5. F 二、选择填空：
