Scientists cannot stretch(伸展)a measuring tape from the earth to a nearby star，so __8__ do they know how far away they are？Scientists use something __9__ parallax(视差)．Parallax means __10__ that they look at how much the stars move in the sky __11__ throughout the year as the earth circles the sun.This is not something __12__ to you.In fact if you stretch out your hand in front of you and __13__ your thumb，while __14__ one eye，and then the other，your thumb will __15__ to move back and forth.Stars do the __16__ thing，but our eyes are too close to see the __17__.However，if we take a picture while on one side of the earth’s orbit，and then take another when we get to the __18__ side of the orbit，then we have a large enough __19__ that we can see the stars’parallax，and __20__ how far away they really are.

Ⅴ.阅读理解

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example，the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.

Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites.Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth.Sometimes，it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.

Space is not empty！Every week，more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth.A satellite usually works for about 10­12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired.Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.

1．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

A．Sending information for weather forecast.

B．Taking photographs of the Earth.

C．Sending TV pictures.

D．Providing food for airplane pilots.

解析：从第一段可知，A、B两项的内容都是卫星的功能，从第三段可知，卫星还可以发送电视画面，而D项内容文中并未提及。

答案：D

2．What’s the speed the earth rotates at?

A．35,880 kilometers per hour.

B．335,880 kilometers per hour.

C．11,000 kilometers per hour.

D．110,000 kilometers per hour.

    解析：从第三段的“This is because it is moving around the world at 11.000 kilometers an hour-exactly the same speed that the earth rotates”可知C项为正确答案.

    答案：C

    3. What does the underlined word"Ihis'in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

      A. Asatellite

    B. A little rocket

    C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky

    D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position

    解析：土一句话的意思是:有时候我们看到天空中的卫星好像待在同一个地方，这是因为……故本题答案为C项.

    答案：C
