The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets, fellow members of the suns family.

Two of them, Mercury and Venus, are nearer while the other six, namely Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, also in their given order from the sun, are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun.People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in definite paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.

We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. The pull between two bodies is proportional (成比例的) to the product of their masses. Because the sun is so large the pull between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for this pull, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to its surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

Now remember that large bodies exert (产生) a greater pull than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.

51. How many planets travel around the sun in the suns family?

A. Nine planets. B. Eight planets. C. One star and ten planets. D. Ten planets.

52. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The earth is the nearest to the sun among the planets.

B. Of all the planets, the earth makes the third shortest trip around the sun.

C. The earth is farther from the sun than any other planets in the suns family.

D. The planets travel in the sky in their own ways disorderly instead of in definite paths.

53. Which two planets make the shortest trips around the sun among all the planets?

A. Mercury and Venus. B. Neptune and Pluto. C. Saturn and Uranus. D. Mars and Jupiter.

54. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

A. The pull between the sun and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth.

B. The pull between the earth and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth.

C. The pull between the sun and the earth is greater than that between the earth and the moon.

D. The pull between the sun and the earth is the same as that between the earth and the moon.

55. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Small objects cant exert a pull on big objects.

B. Each object in the universe exerts a pull on all other objects.

C. Large objects exert the same pull on anybody as small objects.

D. All the objects, big or small, must exert the same pull on one another.

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Mr Clinton and his 13-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tonys birthday, so Mr Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers (黄牛).

It was a two hours ride. After they arrived, they walked on the street for two hours, carrying a sign that read, “We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and handed them to Mr Clinton.

“How much do you want?”

“Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.”

Mr Clinton wouldnt accept, so the man explained, “Im Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife havent missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and cant watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while. You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.”

How do you suppose this made Mr Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr Clinton said, “This is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I cant believe this. We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”

56. Why did Mr Clinton drive Tony to watch the game of the World Series? (within 5 words)

57. What did Mr Clinton and Tony need in order to watch the game? (within 2 words)

58. Why couldnt Hans watch the game in person? (within 4 words)

60. How did Mr Clinton and Tony feel when they got the tickets? (within 7 words)
