23、stronomy over 2,000 years ago.They could see the size，color ，and brightness of stars.They could see their places in the sky.They watched the stars move as the seasons changed.But the Greeks had no tools to help them study the starry heavens.Each new tool added to the files of astronomy；it helped man
24、 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 limited that they could not see all the planets.In the early 1700s，people thought there were only six planets.Before the sp
25、ectroscope(分光镜)，man did not know what kind of gases is in the sun or other stars.Without the radio telescope(电望远镜)we did not know that radio noises come from far out in space.Today， astronomy is a growing science.We have learned more in the last fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.56T

29、nomyDastronomy has limited mans knowledge of space BFrom boyhood he was interested in Astronomy，and while at Cambridge he would sit up at night to watch the stars.But he was dissatisfied with the telescopes of those days because they didnt show him a clear picture of things.At first he thought there
30、 must be something wrong with the lens(镜头)But no matter how hard he tried to improve the lens，the trouble was still there.This set Newton thinking.He began to study the nature of light and colors.In the end he found that sunlight，or white light，is actually made up of a row of colors.He counted seven
31、 colors in all.This was of course a great discovery.But Newton still wasnt satisfied.His mind was busy with another problem.Before Newtons time，scientists had already discovered that the sun，not the earth，was the center of the universe，and they knew that the earth and the other planets moved round t
32、he sun.But they couldnt explain why this was so until Newton gave the answer.One autumn evening while Newton was sitting under an apple tree thinking over these problems，he saw the moon rise in the sky.Why，he asked himself，should the moon round the earth，never leaving the same path？At that moment，he
33、 heard an apple drop from the tree.Why should the apple drop to the ground？Why didnt it go sideways or fly up？There seemed to be only one reason：The earth was drawing itthat is the force of gravity.If a stone is tied to the end of a string and whirled around，it flies round and round in circles becau
34、se of the string.In the same way，the force of gravity，thought Newton，must be the force that keeps the moon going round the earth and the planets round the sun.61This passage tells us_.ANewton gave the right answer to the makeup of the sunlightBNewton found that the moon goes round the earthChow Newt
35、on made two of his greatest discoveriesDwhy Newton made two of his great discoveries at home62Give the right order of the events given in the passage.aNewton found that sunlight is made up of a row of colors.bNewton wondered why the apple didnt go sideways.cNewton decided that the force of gravity k

38、star 500 light years from Earth.A very good telescope was not even required；they found the planet using several small telescopes much like those used by amateur astronomers.The new planet is named TrES2 because it is the second such planet found by scientists working on the TransAtlantic Exoplanet S
39、urvey(TrES)It is a transiting planet(凌日行星)，meaning it can be seen transiting，or moving，across the star it orbits.Ted Dunham，an instrument scientist at Arizonas Lowell Observatory，says transiting planets are special because researchers can answer a lot of questions about them.All it takes is some mat
40、h and some observations about the planet and its relationship to its star.But how big is it？How long is its year(the time it takes to orbit around its star)？How much would you weigh if you were there?“TrES2 is a little bigger than Jupiter，has a yearthat is a little less than two and a half days，and
41、is a little more massive than Jupiter， ”explains Dunham.From its mass and radius(the distance across the planet)scientists can figure out the density of the planetwhether it is made of rock，gas，or a combination of the two.(TrES2 is made up mainly of gas.)They can also work out the surface gravity，sa
42、ys Dunham： “You would feel a little more than twice as heavy as on Earth if you were on TrES2.”Theres a catch，though.“The temperature is about 1,500 degrees Celsius(2,732 degrees Fahrenheit)，and there is nothing solid to stand on.It isnt a likely place to look for life， ”he says.Dunham says that to
43、find smaller planets like Earth or Venus，scientists need to send instruments on a mission(使命 ) to space.NASA scientists are planning one called the Kepler Mission，which could begin in two years.TrES2 is in the part of the sky that the Kepler Mission will study.Since astronomers already know so much
44、about it，they can use it to help make sure their instruments are working.64A suitable title for this passage would be _.AA Transiting Planet BA New Planet in SightCThe Kepler Mission DAstronomers Great Achievements65If an astronomer wants to know about a transiting planet，what will he have to do?AOb
45、serve it carefully.BWork out the results by doing some math problems.CFind out its relationship to its star.DAll of the above.66What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to in the passage?Atransiting planets BresearchersCquestions Dtelescopes67Suppose you were 56 kilograms on the ear

D115 kilograms.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Without plants，people could not live.We eat plants._68_ And we need plants for another reasonwe need them because
