We have always been interested in the Moon.2,000 years ago people already knew it moves around the Earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year.At that time,everything about the Moon was learnt by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes(望远镜) to study the Moon more closely,their ideas began to change.They could see the Moon is made of rocks.Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the Earth.This was because they believed the Moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the Earth’s gravity(引力) millions of years earlier.
In 1969 the Moon rocks were finally brought to the Earth and studied.Much to their surprise,scientists found that,except for water,the Moon and the Earth are made of the same things.Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study,most scientists now think that the Moon was once part of the Earth.They believe very early in its history,maybe 4 million years ago,something about the size of Mars hit the Earth.This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet.These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the Moon.
However,in the future,even though our ideas about the Moon may change again,we will still be interested in it.
(B)53.According to the passage,what was the Moon made of?
A.Earth. B.Rocks. C.Water. D.Metal.
(A)54.When did people first bring the Moon rocks to the Earth?
A.In 1969. B.In 1956. C.In 2006. D.In 1966.
(B)55.What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?
A.Why people are interested in the Moon.
B.How ideas about the Moon have changed over time.
C.Where the Moon came from in the past.
D.That people have finally learnt the truth about the Moon.
(C)56.Before 1969 most scientists thought the Moon was .
A.part of the Earth billions of years earlier
B.older than the Earth
C.a planet caught by the Earth’s gravity
D.made of the same things as the Earth
(C)57.What can we learn from this passage?

C.New information brings new ideas.
D.We now know everything about the Moon.

Once upon a time,there lived a teacher in a small town.He often taught his students in special ways.Once he sent four of his students to go to a small farm to see apple trees in different seasons.The first student went in winter,the second in spring,the third in summer,and the last in autumn.
After the four students came back,the teacher called them together.They pictured(描述) their feelings to the teacher.The first student said that there were no leaves on the trees.It made him very disappointed.The second student said his eyes were full of light green.It made him feel hopeful.The third one disagreed.“What are you talking about?How pretty the trees were!The sweet smell of the beautiful flowers spread(传播) here and there.” The last one shook his head.He only saw a lot of apples on the beautiful trees.
The teacher smiled and told his students none of them were wrong.They each just saw one season.He continued,“The trees are not the same in different seasons.You can’t judge(判断) a tree by only one season.Don’t let the regret of one season destroy the beauty of the rest.”
Everything has different sides in our life.Don’t hurry to make a conclusion(结论) before seeing the whole of it.
