For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come an
11、d passed away; From year to year the moons look alike, old and new.”However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASAs Lun
12、ar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera(月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults(断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. Bu
13、t in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moons surface continues to push up.
14、 “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale(里氏震级)，” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonians National Air and Space Museum in the US.But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldnt try to explore and live on in the future? May
15、be not, reported The Telegraph. “This isnt anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. Its not going anywhere，” Watters comforted us.The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and weve done some great scie
16、nce, but there is still a lot we dont know. The moon is shrinkingwe didnt really realize that until recently. Its a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that，” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.【解题导语】月球并非如唐代诗人张若虚在诗中描绘的那样是亘古不变的。一项最新的科学研究表明，月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小。此外，这项
17、研究还表明月球还有许多我们不了解的东西，它是一个比我们认为的更活跃、更有意思的地方，我们应该探索它。4Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?AIt stays the same as before.BIt is becoming slightly smaller.CIt is getting older and older.DIt has passed away.B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“However, a new study.shows that the moon is in fact slowly
18、 shrinking over time.”可知，一项新的发表在自然地球科学上的研究表明，月球正在随着时间慢慢地缩小，据此可知B项正确。5What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?AIt has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.BIt has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.CIt quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.DIt has a hot core
19、and releases energy during expanding.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段前三句中的“the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born.But in this process, it released energy”可知，月球由带有一个热核的岩石块组成，当它形成时月球在持续膨胀，在这个过程中它会释放能量，故D项正确。6Who thinks that we neednt worry about the moon?AZh
20、ang Ruoxu.BThomas Watters.CNathan Williams.DThe journalist.B解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中Thomas Watters说的话“This isnt anything to worry about.Its not going anywhere”可知，Thomas Watters认为我们不必担心月球，尽管月球在缩小，但它并没有缩小很多，故B项正确。7What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?AIt is a dead and boring place.BIt has lots of faults
21、 on the surface.CIt is valuable to do more science.DIt isnt a place where we can live.C解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nathan Williams说的话“We have been to the moon and weve done some great science.we should explore that”可知，Nathan Williams认为月球有许多我们不了解的东西，值得我们去探索，据此可推知，他认为研究月球是有价值的，故C项正确。【难句分析】The new discovery proves
22、 that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong”为that引导的宾语从句，其中“that the moon is a dead, boring place”为that引导的同位语从句，作the idea的同位语。译文：新的发现证明“月球是一处死气沉沉的无聊之地”这一说法是错误的。.完形填空(2020台州高三调研)Its 27 years since my last co
