题目列表(包括答案和解析)

How many of us have looked up at the stars and wondered about other worlds? Of course, we know a lot about space now, but for people living thousands of years ago, the stars were strange. Astrology(占星术)is one of the world’s most ancient ideas. It started about 3,000 years ago and was used to predict what would happen to countries and to people in the future.

Astrology was created by the ancient Greeks(希腊人). They believed that the place of the sun and the stars could affect a person’s life and what would happen to them in the future. Astrology is a Greek word that means “science of the star”. Even famous Greek people like Plat thought Astrology was important and he studied it carefully. Later Europeans thought that Plato was talented man so they continued to follow his idea about the stars.

Some people think that farmers started the Astrology to help them decide when to plant and harvest(收割). They needed to know what time of year it was. For example, Scorpio(天蝎座)can only be seen in the evening sky in the summer. Over time, using the stars to plan daily life became a strong part of many cultures. People who spent their lives moving from one place to another, like some northern Chinese, use the stars to tell them when and where to go.

Today many people think Astrology is just fun but some people take it very seriously.

( )46.What did people long ago know about the stars?

( )47. What did later Europeans think about Plato?

C. He was silly.      D. He was able to tell them what would happen in the future.

  Do you know how many stars there are in the universe?The answer is MANY! Our sun is one of about 100 billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way.But the Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies that we know about! Some other scientists say there are 2,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars!

  The largest star that we know about is called the Pistol Star (手枪星).The Pistol Star is closer to the center of the Milky Way than we are.Because of space dust we can’t see it with the naked eye (肉眼).It’s about 100 times the size of our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright as the Sun!

  The closest star to the Earth is the Sun! The Sun is about 93 million miles away.We measure bigger distances in space in light years, and one light year is about 6,000,000,000,000 miles.Besides the Sun, Proxima Centauri (半人马比邻座星) is the closest star at 4.2 light years away.Some of the brightest stars are more distant-Rigel (参宿七),in the constellation Orion (猎户星座),is the seventh brightest star in the sky but is 900 light years away.To see the faraway stars, scientists use the Hubble Space Telescope (啥勃空间望远镜).Hubble has been stars that are 12 billion light years away!

  A star’s color has a lot to do with its temperature.A blue-white star is very dense (密集的) and hot.When a star becomes red, its energy.Has begun to fade (消失).Therefore, a star that is nearing the end of its life is called a red giant (红巨星).While humans grow smaller in old age, stars grow bigger until they die.In the far future, maybe our sun will become a red giant and destroy the Earth! Luckily, it’ll be a long time before we have to think about that problem.
