A
　
　　 Scientists have always wanted to know more about the universe.
　　Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it was and how far away it was from the Earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon.
　　The moon is about 384,000 kilometres away from the Earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon, because the air reaches only 240 kilometres away from the Earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is the rocket.
　　How does a rocket fly? There is gas (氣體) in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.
　　Rockets can fly out into the space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several satellites without men in them have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space.

A.there is no air above 240 kilometres away from the Earth
B.there is no gas in the plane
C.the plane is not strong enough
D.the plane must be driven by a man
（4）The hot gas in the rocket is used for ______.
A.keeping the air in the rocket fresh
B.keeping the men in the rocket warm
C.making the rocket fly up
D.cooking food for the men in the rocket

【解析】本文講述科學(xué)家對(duì)宇宙的探索，人類已經(jīng)飛上了月球，飛機(jī)不能飛上月球因?yàn)闆]有大氣，火箭借助對(duì)空氣的推力上天，火箭能飛進(jìn)太空，是將來太空旅行成為可能。第一句是本文的中心句。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)They knew how big it was and how far away it was from the Earth.可知Ｄ正確。
（２）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段The moon is about 384,000 kilometres away from the Earth.可知D正確。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)because the air reaches only 240 kilometres away from the Earth可知沒有空氣的地方飛機(jī)無法飛行，故選Ａ。
（４）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.可知火箭里面的氣體變熱，會(huì)推動(dòng)火箭飛上填空，故選C。
（5）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段Several satellites without men in them have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon可知無人衛(wèi)星已經(jīng)飛上了其他行星，所以選Ｄ。
