It moves at a speed of 300,000 kilometers a second. Light reaches us from the moon in less than a second and a hal

17、f. The moon is about 382,000 kilometers away. Light from the sun reaches us in 8.5 minutes. The sun is about 149,840,000 kilometers from the earth. The other stars are farther away than the sun. Light from the nearest star reaches us in about four years. When you look at a star, you do not see its p

18、resent condition. You see it as it used to be. Light from some stars takes hundreds of years to reach us. We never see a star as it is now. We see it as it was long ago; perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago. Astronomers (天文学家 ) watch the stars through big telescopes. The worlds biggest telesco

19、pe is in Russia. The next biggest is in-the United States. With these great telescopes astronomers can see stars and other things very far away. Some of these things are not only stars.

23、 same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 We find that the moon is about 239,000 miles away from the earth, and that within a few thousand miles, its distance always remains the same. Yet a very little observation shows that the moon is not standing sti

24、ll. Its distance from the earth remains the same, but its direction continually changes. We find that it is traveling in a circle or very nearly a circle round the earth, going completely round once a month, or more exactly, once every days. It is our nearest neighbor in space, and like ourselves it

25、 is kept tied to the earth by the earths gravitational pull (地心吸力 ). Except for the sun, the moon looks the biggest object in the sky. Actually it is one of the smallest, and only looks big because it is so near to us. Its diameter (直径 ) is only 2,160 miles, or a little more than a quarter of the di

26、ameter of the earth. Once a month, or, more exactly, once every days, at the time we call “full moon“, its whole disc (圆面 ) looks bright. At other times only part of it appears bright, and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part facing away from the sun appea

30、oon 45 The moon is like a huge mirror hung in the sky _ . （ A） because it is very near the earth （ B） because there is some water on the moon （ C） because there are some river and lakes on the moon （ D） because of its reflection of sunlight Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.
