In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?"
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
1.The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moon people”____________.
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology
2.What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon’s inner space. B. Using the earth’s inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Traveling to outer space.
3.What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities –- cities of the future B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up

Space is where our future is — trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash(垃圾) there that scientists are now concerned that if we don’t clean it up, we may all be in mortal(致命的) danger.
The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard Ⅰ stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning(抛弃) things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.
It is estimated(估计) that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.
The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飞船). Moreover, pieces of junk may collide(碰撞) with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.
1.What was the first piece of man-made space trash?
A. A camera. B. A tool kit.
C. A broken satellite. D. A fuel tank.
2.Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?
A. It did not cause any problems.
B. It no longer served any useful purpose.
C. It was millions of miles away from the Earth.
D. It was regarded as similar to comets and stars.
3.Which of the following statements is true about space junk?
A. It is huge, heavy machines.
B. It may cause problems for space shuttles.
C. It floats slowly around the Earth.
D. It never changes position.
4.What has been done about the space trash problem?
A. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space.
B. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space.
C. Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched.
D. Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.

Talking to strangers along your travels can change your trip into an adventure. Here are rules of thumb to serve as your guide.
Don't ignore your fellow tourists. When you go to some place off the beaten path, you're likely to meet other tourists there. Find them, and ask where you would go.1.
Abandon your phone. Phones often get between you and the surroundings, ruining your chances to make contact with the people you see.2., take a deep breath and put it in a different pocket or cover it with tape.
3..The easiest way to do this is to talk to people who are in "open roles", such as anyone in a public service job, or a taxi driver. Or ask someone seated near you; ask where the person's favorite street is; ask if there's a residential area where it would be nice to take a walk.
Use a map-or none at all.4..However, the truth is, sometimes those small streets are nowhere to be found with a map. So ask for directions a lot. Asking for any kind of help is the key to many doors.
Most Important: Ask good questions. Finding good questions means observing and noticing. A well-turned question shows that you are really paying attentions you are curious and ready to listen.5..
A. Let strangers make your plans
B. Maps can be of great assistance
C. When the unwillingness gets in the way
D. A good question will get you everywhere
E. They are going to offer advice made of gold
F. Those fellow tourists can make sense of your journey
G. If abandoning your phone isn't practical or feels insecure to you

Back in 1969, it was the Apollo 11 crew who flew to the moon in a spaceship. When U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin stepped foot on the moon, they were the first. Meanwhile, their fellow astronaut Michael Coilins circled the moon in their spaceship, named Columbia.
When Armstrong and Aldrin were done with their walk，they returned to the command module, and back to Earth. That part of the spaceship is on view at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. But, if you cannot get to Washington，soon you will be able to see Columbia on your computer or your smartphone.
Digital scientists are scanning the inside of the spaceship. They are creating an online model, in three dimensions, or“3 D”. By looking at these photographs, you will be able to see outer space，the way the astronauts did. It will be like sitting in their seats.
Want your very own Columbia spaceship? You will be able to print a 3D copy of Columbia. Experts say anyone can make a life-sized model. But they expect most people to make smaller models of the 320×400 cm(11’X 13’)command module.
Scientists are using special 3D technology to scan the inside. They use cameras on long arms to take the photographs. The thousands of photographs taken will be combined with 50 laser scans.
What would it be like to sit inside Columbia and take a look around? All the images will be loaded into software that allows you to look around the module on a computer screen. The user will be able to see the Columbia both inside and out. The Smithsonian says that the 3D technology gives the user ways to see things they cannot see at the museum. And it will give information that even the museum curators(馆长)have not seen before.
“With the Command Module, no one has been inside since it came into the collection,” says Adam Metallo. Smithsonian 3D imaging specialist. “Now the information we capture can give anyone in the world a view of what it looks like inside this incredible piece of history.”
1.The author mentions moon landing of the Apollo 11 to_____________.
A. introduce the topic
B. honour the astronauts
C. mark the milestone event
D. draw attention to space research
2.According to the text，people_______________.
A. are advised to make a life-sized model
B. can clone a spaceship with 3D technology
C. will visit a copy of Columbia in the museum
D. can buy a copied Columbia spaceship in the museum
3.What’s the advantage of a copied spaceship?
A. It can attract more visitors.
B. It can help look far into the universe.
C. It makes 3D technology more popular.
D. It provides more knowledge than the museum.
4.What might be the best title for the text?
A. Apollo 11 Spacecraft lands in your smartphone
B. 3D technology, the new way to explore space
C. Landing on the moon, a milestone in space travel
D. An online model shows you how to land on the moon
