一、阅读理解
A
In 1969, three men made history with a trip and the world will never forget them. The three men were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins. They went to the moon. The mission（任务）was called the Apollo programme.
Many people worked to send those men to the moon. It took many years to prepare for the mission. The first Apollo mission, Apollo 1, was not successful. During the later missions, the astronauts practised flying their spaceships. On the Apollo 8 mission, the astronauts flew around the moon. They were nearly ready for the first moon landing.
The Apollo 11 mission used a special spaceship. Its name was "Eagle". The Eagle landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Only Two astronauts walked on the moon that day Neil Armstrong was the first person to step onto the moon. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin followed him. The world watched the landing on TV. Michael Collins stayed in the spaceship. It was his job to look after the spaceship that would take them home. He had to make sure nothing would happen to it.
The astronauts did many experiments while they were on the moon. They also took some pictures of the moon. The astronauts left an American flag on the moon. Now the flag is still there. Someday moon travel may be common, and people will visit the place of the first moon landing.

Life in space is much different from life on Earth. So, of course, people need some time to get used to (习惯) it. How do they eat, sleep and have fun there?
Eating
Space food is more like the food we eat here on Earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only small pieces of dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens (微波炉) and fridges. So astronauts can eat more everyday food, like fruit, vegetables and ice cream.
Sleeping
All the people in the ISS (国际太空站) have their own rooms. There's no gravity, so they have to tie themselves to their beds or they'll float away! That seems like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say that sleeping in space is really not too bad.
Having fun
What do astronauts do when they aren't working? They read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mails to their friends and family. Sometimes they just sit and look out of the window. Doesn't that sound fun? But is it much funnier if you could see the Earth out of your window with a sunset or sunrise every 45 minutes?4．What does the underlined word "it" in the first paragraph refer to (指的是)?

We live on Earth, so it is our home. But how much do you know about it? Let me tell you something about our Earth.
The Earth is like a huge ball. Like the other seven planets, the Earth is running around the sun. It's the third nearest one to the sun. It takes the Earth about 365 days to run around the sun. At the same time, the Earth is going around itself. If you are in space, you can see lots of white clouds over the surface of the Earth. Through the clouds, you can see the blue colour of the oceans, and the brown colour of the land. About 70% of the Earth is covered by water.
Why do we have day and night? When the half of the Earth is facing the sun, it's daytime. As the Earth turns, and this half is away from the sun, night is coming. And it's daytime for the other half.

In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster (怪兽) lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.
The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century.
