4. Why is Venus the brightest planet?
5. How far is it from the Sun to Earth?
第二节
听下面几段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的 A、
B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。每段对话或独白读两遍。
听下面一段对话，回答第6至第7小题。
W: Hi, Tom. What are you reading?
M: Hi, Lucy. I’m reading a book about the solar system.
W: Really? Can you tell me some interesting facts about planets?
M: Of course. For example, Venus has rainfall made of acid.
W: That sounds dangerous! What about Mars?
M: It’s very cold, and scientists said there was water before.
W: That sounds interesting.
听下面一段对话，回答第8至第9小题。
W: Hi, Mike. Do you know about comets?
M: Sure. I’m very interested in them. They are very beautiful.
W: Me too. Do you know why comets look like snowballs?
M: Because they’re filled with ice and dust. When they get close to the Sun, the
ice starts to rise as gas.
W: How long does the exploration of comets usually take?
M: Years! The Rosetta mission took over 10 years to reach the comet.
听下面一段独白，回答第10至第12小题。Jupiter is a huge planet in our solar system. It’s like a giant ball of gas. It’s so big
that it could hold more than 1,300 Earths inside it. That’s really a lot of space!
In Roman stories, Jupiter was the king of the gods. He was the god of the sky
and thunder. It means that he controlled the weather and made sure everything in
the sky was okay. People thought of him as powerful and wise, kind of like a
superhero for the ancient Romans.
But Jupiter isn’t just a big planet named after a god. It’s also really important
to our solar system. Because it’s so big, it has strong power to keep other planets
and small objects in our solar system from getting too close and making trouble.
Jupiter is like a big brother and helps keep everything in order.
听下面一段对话，回答第13至第15小题。
W: Hi, Jack. Did you hear about Pluto before?
M: Sure. It was No. 9 planet in the solar system before 2006.
W: Do you know why it isn’t a planet now?
M: Oh, I have no idea. Why?
W: Because scientists found some other objects similar to Pluto in the
same area. So Pluto is not the most special planet there.
M: How interesting! But I know Pluto is an amazing place. It’s an icy
world filled with ice and coldness. It even has five moons! You know,
Earth only has one.
W: Amazing. And how big is the biggest moon?
M: It’s nearly as big as Pluto itself.
第三节
听下面一篇短文，根据你所听到的内容，完成以下表格，每空填一词。短
文读两遍。
The Sun is the center in the solar system. Eight planets move around the
Sun. Asteroid Belt separates the eight planets into two groups—the inner planets
and the outer planets. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Mercury is the closest to the Sun. It’s very hot there due to its nearness to the Sun.
Venus is bright and looks beautiful in the sky. Earth is the planet where we wereborn. It plays an important role in supporting lives. Mars is often called the “Red
Planet” because of its strange red color. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Saturn has
beautiful rings around it. Uranus is very cold, and Neptune is so far from the Sun that
it almost freezes.

示比较的范围，所以要用形容词最高级。故选C。

状语从句；Although 意为“尽管”，引导让步状语从句；So 意为“因
此”，引导结果状语从句。故选C。

sometime to do sth. 意为“花费某人多长时间去做某事”。故选D。
24. C 句意：我们可以通过研究太空中的照片来证明我们的想法。explore意为
“探索”；protect意为“保护”；prove意为“证明”；prepare意为“准
备”。故选C。
25. B 句意：金星比水星大。than是比较级的标志词，所以要用large的比较级

happily意为“高兴地”； immediately意为“立即”；mainly意为“主
要地”。故选D。
27. B 句意：月球比地球冷得多。colder是形容词比较级，该空考查修饰比较
级的词，very，quite和so都是只能修饰形容词原级，只有 much可以修
饰比较级，意为“……得多”。故选B。
28. A 句意：地球是我们唯一的家园。它离太阳既不太近也不太远。neither ...nor
意为“既不……也不……”；either ... or ... 意为“或者……或者……，
要
么……要么”；both ... and ... 意为“两者都”；not only ... but also ...
