A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong, so take care of what you eat.

Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.
If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive, he couldnt live on the moon because theres no air there. (Hed have to carry an oxygen tank, as astronauts do.) Theres no food on the moon, either. Nothing grows—not even weeds.
If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains, he would be very happy. There are many high places there, such as the raised land around the holes, or craters, of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earths highest mountains.
But if the man on the moon liked to swim, he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.
When you think of what its like on the moon, you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earths nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
Going back and forth between the moon and Earth, astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long, long trips to some of the planets.
Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer, closer view of the stars.
( )66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The Moon. B. The Man on the Moon.
C. Research on the Moon. D. What It Is Like on the Moon.
( )67. What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?
A. The moon is beautiful.
B. The moon is different from the earth.
C. The moon is Earths nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
D. The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air, unlike Earth.
( )68. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The climate on the moon is quite different from that on the earth.
B. Traveling between the moon and the earth will do much good to astronauts.
C. There is some food and weeds on the moon, even though theres no air.
D. The air around the earth makes the view of the stars not so clear and close.
( )69. The underlined word “craters” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. ball B. high places C. holes D. height
( )70. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We can learn much from research on the moon.
B. There may be human beings on the moon
C. If there were a man on the moon, there would be many similarities between the man on the moon and on the earth.
D. A telescope on the moon would help scientists have a clearer, closer sight of the stars.

六、阅读理解填词(本题共10分,每小题1分)
先阅读短文,再在其后空白处写出各单词的正确形式。单词的第一个字母已给出。
I like to be near water—sea, lake or river. That is probably because I was born in a village c 76 to the sea, and have lived most of my life near water of some k 77 . When I am in some place where it is far from lake, river and sea, I am restless and always feel that there is something m 78 , though it is sometimes hard to say what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are t 79 which need water—sailing, rowing and swimming. It is possible to swim in a small swimming-pool, b 80 rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water. Rowing is best on a r 81 , and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river, and one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports—swimming, rowing and sailing, I like rowing b 82 , because it is the easiest to continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for swimming and the sea is too rough for sailing. E 83 on the coldest day one can row; only ice on the water, or thick fog stops one. Sometimes it is so cold when I go rowing that drops of water f 84 . In such weather, it is not very pleasant to swim; one cant stay in the water long; however, when one is rowing, one gets w 85 , the longer one goes on.
