10、the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.Each new tool added to the files of astronomy helped man reach out into space.Until there were telescopes(望远镜),man knew little about the moon.They did not know that the planet called Saturn(土星) had rings around it.Their sight was so limit

11、ed that they could not see all the planets.In the early 1700s,people thought there were only six planets.Before the spectroscope(分光镜),man did not know what kind of gases was in the sun or other stars.Without the radio telescope(射电望远镜),we did not know that radio noises came from far out in space.Toda

16、d to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometres above the equator(赤道).Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometres an hour exactly the same speed that the earth rotates(转动).A satellite must orbit

17、 the Earth with its antennae(天线) facing the earth.Sometimes,it moves away from its orbit,so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty!Everyweek,more and more satellites are sent i

18、nto space to orbit the Earth.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the Earth to be repaired.Often,very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.This is ve

71、食物,故选D项。25.C根据第三段的“Thisisbecause.exactlythesamespeedthattheearthrotates.”可知选C项。26.C由此句的结构可知,this在此处是替代前文的“Sometimeswecanseeasatelliteintheskyanditseemstostayinthesameplace.”。故选C项。27.A根据最后一段的第三句可知A项正确。28.D根据第二段中的“Ialwayswishedmydadhadbeenhere.Thefarmneededhisfullattention.”可知,只有妈妈来看比赛,爸爸没来是因为农场需要爸爸全身

72、心地工作。再结合选项可知,D项符合题意。29.D根据第四段中的“Ihadtotellmydadaboutthehappiestdayofmylife.”及下面文章中与爸爸的对话内容可知,麦琪打电话给父亲是告诉父亲她们队赢了,想和父亲一起分享成功的喜悦。分析选项可知,D项符合题意。30.A根据最后一段中的内容可知,麦琪明白爸爸不能来观看比赛,是因为他为了自己能过上好的生活而辛苦工作,父亲非常爱自己。由此可推断出,麦琪会感谢她父亲为她所做的一切。分析选项可知,A项符合题意。31.B本文主要叙述了麦琪的爸爸没能观看她的比赛,但麦琪知道,爸爸是爱她、为了她而努力工作的。最后一段的最后一句“Myfath

73、erlovedmeenoughtoletmeexperiencelifeshappiestmomentswithouthim.”是文章的主旨。由此可知,本文最好的标题是“父亲的爱”。故选B项。32.D根据第一段的“.believesthatfeedingrawmeattopetsisagainstitsgoalofprotectingthepublicfromhealthdangers,andthatrawmeatandbonesdonothavealltherequirednutritionthatapetneedseveryday.”可知,D项正确。33.C根据第二段的第一句可知选C项。3

76、上题解析。49.D由上下文语境及常识可知,此处表示作者努力忍住不“哭(cry)”。50.D由下文中的bydrivingalongway可知,此处应是“我”听到了“汽车(car)”声。51.C此处表示Kenny开车来参加“我”的生日聚会,即“出现(showup)”在“我”的生日聚会上。52.A由最后一段中的“Hediditwithjustonekindact.makingmesmileandgivingmewarm,hugehugs.”可知,应是在作者擦干眼泪之“前(before)”,Kenny说了一些很有魔力的话。53.A由上文中的magicalwords可推断,此处表示Kenny说自己将“永
