It is the second closest planet to the sun. The earth is the third one. Venus is similar to the earth in size and mass （质量）.It is often described as the earth's “sister”. Scientists have been learning about Venus for a long time. First they looked at Venus through telescopes （望远镜）.But Venus is covered with thick clouds. Scientists could not see Venus well because of the clouds. So they made guesses about it. 刷速度 返回目录 34 For a long time, scientists thought that Venus had water and plants. They thought Venus might have animals too. But they didn't know for sure. Then scientists found a way to learn more about Venus. In the 1960s, they began sending probes （航天探测器） to Venus. The probes flew through the thick clouds. They took pictures of Venus up close. They found out many things too. The probes sent the pictures back to the scientists. The scientists learnt a lot from the probes. First they learnt that most of their guesses were not right. And they learnt that Venus is very hot. 刷速度 返回目录 After that, scientists knew they could not send people to Venus. But they still wanted to know more about it. So they sent new probes. These new probes took great pictures of the planet. The pictures showed that Venus has plains and mountains! And in some ways, Venus looks like the earth. 刷速度 返回目录 36 任务一：简要回答下列问题。 24.How are Venus and the earth similar? ____________________________________ They are similar in size and mass. 【解析】 根据第一段的“Venus is similar to the earth in size and mass.” 可知，金星与地球在大小和质量上很相似。 知识拓展 “be similar to…”意为“与……相似”，后面既可接人也可接物；“be similar in…”意为“在……方面相似”。 刷速度 返回目录 37 25.Why is it hard to see Venus well through a telescope? _____________________________________________ Because Venus is covered with thick clouds. 【解析】 根据第二段的“But Venus is covered with thick clouds.”可知金 星上覆盖着厚厚的云，所以用望远镜很难看清金星。 刷速度 返回目录 38 任务二：判断正（T）误（F）。 26.Scientists began to send probes to Venus over 80 years ago.( ) F 【解析】 根据第四段的“In the 1960s, they began sending probes to Venus.”可知，20世纪60年代，科学家开始向金星发射探测器。由此可知 “Scientists began to send probes to Venus over 80 years ago.”是错误的。 故填F。 刷速度 返回目录 39 27.With new probes' help, scientists found that Venus has mountains and plants.( ) F 【解析】 根据最后一段的“The pictures showed that Venus has plains and mountains!”可知，照片显示金星有平原和山脉，没有说有植物。故该说法是错 误的。 刷速度 返回目录 40 任务三：选择最佳答案。 28.Where does the passage probably come from?( ) C A.A diary. B.A storybook. C.A science magazine. D.A medical dictionary. 【解析】本文介绍了科学家对金星的研究和探测，这是一篇科普文章，所以该文 章最有可能出现在科学杂志上，故选C项。 阅读D篇·语篇导读 本文是一篇科普类说明文，介绍了科学家对金星的研究和探测。 刷速度 返回目录 41 Ⅲ.根据短文内容及所给提示填写单词（10分） 【2023河北邢台调研】I was 38 when I became the first Chinese person to go into space on the Shenzhou-5, on 15th October, 2003.It made China the 29._______ （three） country to have manned spaceship—after the US and Russia.
