AWhen you look at the sky at night，the moon looks bigger than the stars． In fact，the moon is much smaller than the stars．It is much smaller than the earth． But the moon is much closer to us than any star． That is why it looks so big． If you hold a coin close．to your eye，it looks big．If you look at it across the room，it looks small．The moon moves around the earth． It makes one trip in about four weeks． The moon looks flat(扁的)to us． But it is a round ball，like the earth．People once thought the moon had fire(火) on it． They thought the fire made it bright．Now we know the moon is like a mirror( 镜子 )． It gets its light from the sun Our sunlight comes from the sun，too: What is the sun? The sun is star． The stars we can see have their own light． There are many big stars we can-t see． Their light has burned out． Others are still bright，but they are so far away that we can-t see them． The sun looks bigger and much brighter than other stars because it is the nearest of all stars． The sun and the other stars we see are very hot，but the air around us saves us from(使------免于) the heat(热量) of the sun．The sun gives us light and warmth．It makes plants grow and leaves turn green． It makes life possible on our earth．It is a life-giving star．( )21． The moon looks bigger because__________ ．A． some stars are smaller than itB．it is between the sun and the earthC．it is the closest to the earthD．it is very bright
Text 2 To understand how astrology works, we should first take a quick look at the sky. Although the stars are at enormous distances, they do indeed give the impression of being affixed to the inner surface of a great hollow sphere surrounding the earth. Ancient people, in fact, literally believed in the existence of such a celestial sphere. As the earth spins on its axis, the celestial sphere appears to turn about us each day, pivoting at points on a line with the earth's axis of rotation. This daily turning of the sphere carries the stars around the sky, causing most of them to rise and set, but they, and constellations they define, maintains fixed patterns on the sphere, just as the continent of Australian maintains its shape on a spinning globe of the earth. Thus the stars were called fixed stars.The motion of the sun along the ecliptic is, of course, merely a reflection of the revolution of the earth around the sun, but the ancients believed the earth was fixed and the sun had an independent motion of its own, eastward among the stars. The glare of sunlight hides the stars in daytime, but the ancients were aware that the stars were up there even at night, and the slow eastward motion of the sun around the sky, at the rate of about thirty degrees each month, caused different stars to be visible at night at different times of the year.The moon, revolving around the earth each month, also has an independent motion in the sky. The moon, however, changes its position relatively rapidly. Although it appears to rise and set each day, as does nearly everything else in the sky, we can see the moon changing position during as short an interval as an hour or so. The moon's path around the earth lies nearly in the same plane as the earth's path around the sun, so the moon is never seen very far from the ecliptic in the sky. There are five other objects visible to the naked eye that also appear to move in respect to the fixed background of stars on the celestial sphere. These are the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the Saturn. All of them revolve around the sun in nearly the same plane as the earth does, so they, like the moon, always appear near the ecliptic. Because we see the planets from the moving earth, however, they behave in a complicated way, with their apparent motions on the celestial sphere reflection both their own independent motions around the sun and our motion as well.第26题：The ancient people believed that ________.[A] the earth was spinning on the axis of the sky[B] the sky was a hollow sphere spinning around the earth[C] the patterns of stars on the sky would never change[D] the stars around the sky were not stationary

It is stated in astrology that ________.[A] the sun is so distant from us that it was hard to follow its motion[B] the sun was moving westward around the sky[C] the motion of the sun is at the rate of about thirty degrees every week[D] the motion of the sun is similar to the revolution of the earth around the sun
All the other five planets ________.[A] always appear near the path of the sun[B] are moving in a way more complicated than the earth does[C] aren't moving around the sun as independently as the earth does[D] are moving around the sun at the same speed as the earth does
According to the passage which of the following is true?[A] A fixed star refers a star that is always stationary on the sky.[B] Scientists can tell the motion of the earth from the motions of other five planets.[C] Ancient people had scanty knowledge about the movement of the stars.[D] All the stars on the sky can be seen all the year around.

It stays in the sky longer. The earth gets warmer. Things begin to grow. It is spring and then summer.3 After a while the sun stays in the sky for shorter and shorter periods.Many plants begin to die.Leaves fall.Winter comes.Year after year this is repeated and you cannot tell exactly why it happens.But you realize that the sun seems to make the difference. Primitive（原始的）man felt that since the sun was so powerful it must be a god. It may seem silly to us now to worship（崇拜）a sun-god, but primitive man was right about the importance of the sun to life on earth.4 You have been told that the world is round.But suppose no one had ever taught you that the world was like a huge ball.Would you have ever thought of it yourself?You cannot see the curve（曲线）of the earth at once.

共用题干New Comet FoundThere's a newfound comet closing in on the sun,and when it gets here in 2013,you may be able to see it with your naked eye.Astronomers stumbled upon the icy interloper on June 5 while searching for potentially hazardous asteroids（小行星）.Equipped with the world's largest digital camera , the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS team snagged a faint image of the odd object while it was more than 700 million miles away , between the orbits of Jupiter（木星）and Saturn（土星）."Almost everything we find is an asteroid,but this object was suspicious,"said Richard Wainscoat,co-discoverer of the comet and an astronomer at the University of Hawaii."Unlike asteroids, which appear point-like in images,the telltale sign that gave it away was its fuzzy appearance."By March 2013 the comet,named C/2011 L4(PANSTARRS),is expected to come within 30 million miles of the sun一closer even than the innermost（最深处）planet, Mercury（水星）.When the comet makes its closest approach to the sun,most of its ices will vaporize,adding to its hazy envelope of gas and dust and producing the familiar tail. This denser envelope,or coma, should boost the comet to peak brightness,making it potentially visible to the naked eye low in the western horizon just after sunset.While there is no danger of collision with Earth,preliminary calculations of the comet's orbit show that this may be its first and final trip through the solar system."It may be coming around the sun for the first and only time,only to be ejected from the solar system,never to return,"Wainscoat said."Since we don't have a lot of data on it,we really don't know the orbit well enough right now, and it will take up to two months of observations to find out."Astronomers believe C/2011 L4 may be a runaway from the Oort cloud（奥尔特云）,a reservoir of billions of hibernating（蛰伏）comets that orbits about 100,000 times farther than the distance between Earth and the sun.The fact that it's going around the back of the sun from our point of view may ultimately affect the comet's visibility,but a lot will depend on how close the body actually gets to the sun.Also, whether the comet is north or south of the sun when it reaches peak brightness will determine which hemisphere on Earth gets the better view.Astronomers gets many details about the solar system.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentiond
