There are many stories and poems about the Moon in Chinese history. And nowadays scientists send spaceships to the Moon. Why? Because people are always interested in the Moon and want to know more about it. Here is some information (信息) about it. Let’s see it together.

The Moon looks beautiful and bright at night. It is far away from the Earth and if you want to get to the Moon, it will take you about 6 months to get there by car at 95km per hour.

本文介绍了有关月球的一些信息。月亮在晚上看起来美丽而明亮。月球上重力很小，所以人们可以享受在那里漂浮的乐趣。月球上有许多有趣的地方，如火山口、山脉和熔岩平原。月亮自己不发光，它是反射太阳光。

【1】细节理解题。由句子Because people are always interested in the Moon and want to know more about it.可知，因为人们总是对月球感兴趣，并且想要知道更多关于它的信息。因此才有了很多关于月亮的故事和诗歌。故选C。

【3】推理判断题。由句子And a foil day on the Moon, from the sunrise to the next, lasts about 29.5 Earth days on average (平均). 在月球上一天，在地球上平均大约是29.5天。所以如果你在月球上停留两天，你将在地球上花费大约59天。就是用2x29.5=59.故选D。

【4】词意猜测题。句子It looks bright because it can reflect (反射) light from the Sun.的意思是，它看起来很亮，因为它能反射来自太阳的光。由上文的句子The Moon doesn’t have its own light. 月亮自己不发光。它是反射太阳光。因此it是指上文的The Moon。故选A。

词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，所猜测词汇可以是生词，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是人称代词的指代内容。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。常见的猜词法有：(1)利用上下文语境。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 (2)利用定义或解释性的线索。阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子，利用它们猜词义较容易 (3)利用文章的逻辑关系答题。如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。这些逻辑关系往往通过一些相应的词或短语表达出来，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用构词法知识答题。熟记一些前缀、后缀所表达的意思，不仅可以扩大词汇量，而且帮助我们猜测词义。第4小题的词义猜测题就是利用第3种解题方法。
