(A)There is nothing more important to life than the Sun. Without the Sun all living things on the Earth would die.The Sun is a star. In the sky there are thousands of stars like the Sun. They are as large as the Sun and as hot as the Sun. At night you can see many stars, but in the day time you can only see one star the Sun. The Sun is much nearer to us than any other stars. That is why it looks the biggest and brightest of all the stars. The distance between the Sun and the Earth is as much as 150 million kilometers. Most of the stars are thousands of light years away from the Earth. Do you know the light year? Nothing in the world travels faster than light. It travels 300,000 kilometers a second(秒). And one light year is the distance that light travels in one year.( )31、can live without the Sun.A、PeopleB、AnimalsC、PlantsD、Nothing( )32、The most important to life is .A、the MoonB、the starsC、the SunD、the sky( )33、The Sun looks the biggest and brightest of all the stars because .A、it's the biggest of all the starsB、it's the brightest of all the stars.C、it's much nearer to us than any other starsD、it's far away from the Earth( )34、Light travels in the world.A、fastestB、slowestC、much fasterD、much slower( )35、From the passage we know that light travels kilometers per(每个) minute.A、600, 000B、300, 000C、150, 000D、18,000,000（B）Do you know Venus (金星)? Of the eight planets Venus is the nearest one to us. Venus was the Roman goddess 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 hottest 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.( )36.

The Introduction to Venus(C)The British climate is pleasant. Summers are usually not too hot with the highest temperature less than 30℃and rarely rising over 32℃. Winters are usually warm because of the warm air that comes from the Atlantic Ocean. The cold weather is common (普通的), but the temperature rarely falls under -10℃. The difference between summer and winter temperatures in most parts of Britain (including both day and night temperatures) is only about 12℃. In some parts of Russia, such as Siberia, this difference can be as much as 40℃.Different parts of the British Isles receive different rainfall. More rain falls in the west and north, such as in Scotland, the Lake District and Wales, because there are many hills and mountains. In some parts of Scotland it can rain or snow as many as 300 days in a year. But in East Anglia, rainfall is much less, and dry summers can receive very little rainfall. The air from the Atlantic Ocean brings wind and rain, but usually warm air. For this reason, the climate of the British Isles can change from one day to the next.( )41. The word “rarely” means ______.A. 通常B. 很少C. 平均D. 多数( )42. The difference between summer and winter temperatures in Russia is _______.A. 10℃B. 12℃C. 32℃D. 40℃( )43.
