题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Some day you may go to the moon. A tall rocket will take you into space. The rocket flies a long
way to a space station. You will stop there for a short time. Then a big spaceship will take you to the
moon.
About three days later,the ship slowly goes down and gets to the moon. You are now on the moon,
but you can not leave your spaceship. You must put on a space suit for the moon.It is very hot in the day
and very cold at night.If you don't wear a space suit,you can't live there. You jump out of the spaceship
and begin to walk.The moon is much smaller than the earth. The things on the moon are lighter than those
on the earth. You jump high in the air every time you take a step.
The moon moves slowly, so one day on the moon is as long as two weeks on the earth and one night
is just as long as two weeks on the earth. It never rains on the moon, and everything on the moon is dry.
There are no trees or other living things of any kind. There is nothing to do there. The earth is a far better
place to live on,but scientists are trying to make the best of the moon.
English words do not stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word "tomato" was borrowed from Mexico, and "tea" came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. "weekend" and "cookbook" are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word "photo" was made from "photograph" by cutting off the end of the longer word. "Plane" was made by cutting off the front part of "airplane". The names of people and products can become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after a man. "Sandwich" and "Sello" was a name given by the company that first made the product.
