五、阅读理解：
    Believe it or not. The day you can go to the moon is coming soon. You can go into space in space shuttles. It takes about three days for the shuttle to go from Earth to the moon. The shuttle flies a long way to a space station. You can stay there for a short rest and then it will take you to the moon. Now you can jump out of the shuttle, but you mustn’t put off your spacesuit. Because it is very hot in the daytime and very cold at night on the moon, and the spacesuit can help your body adjust to the temperature there. The moon is much smaller than Earth. The things on the moon are lighter than those on Earth. You will find that it is never tiring to walk on the moon. You don’t need to take an umbrella or a raincoat with you since there is no rain or wind on the moon. You can hear nothing because there is no air on the moon. And there are no animals or any other living things there.
    The moon moves slowly, so one day on the moon is as long as two weeks on Earth and one light is just as long as two weeks on Earth. We could you do in such long days and nights, and in such a silent world? Now you see our Earth is really a far better place to live, only if we take good care of it, but scientists are trying to make the best of the moon.

A. A plane    B. A space station    C. A space shuttle    D. A spacesuit
（    ） 2. Which of the following is in the right order?
a. You put on a spacesuit       b. You get into a space shuttle
c. You jump out of the shuttle   d. The shuttles take you to the space station
        A. bacd       B. abcd       C. badc      D. abdc
（    ） 3. When you are on the moon, you can walk around _______ than on Earth.
        A. more easily     B. more highly     C. more slowly     D. harder
（    ） 4. There is no life on the moon because ________.
A. the moon moves very slowly
B. the moon is much smaller than Earth
C. there is no air or water
D. it is very hot in the daytime and cold at night
（    ） 5. Which of the following is true?

C. Is there life on Mars? We don’t know. We are sure that people like those on the earth do not live on Mars.
Earth people need oxygen to breathe. There is almost no oxygen on Mars.
Living on Mars would be like living on a very high mountain. There would be little air. It might be 50 degrees above zero at noon and 100 degrees below at night.
Many people think there may be plants on Mars. We know that Mars has carbon. This is a kind of material found in all plants and animals on earth. Through a telescope, Mars looks red. In some places, it seems gray. At times the gray color turns gray-green, then brown, then gray again. The gray-green color may be a kind of plant life changing color with the seasons.
    Will men go to Mars one day? If they do, they will have to take along their own oxygen, food, clothing, and shelter.
