Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is a lovely song for children, but

it has two misunderstandings. First, stars aren’t little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Second, they don’t twinkle; they shine. And

the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age.

Viewing the stars from Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter because

the air is thick compared to the emptiness of space. What is more, air is always moving, so starlight appears to be moving, too. The air also makes stars appear dimmer(暗淡的) than they would be if we could see them from space.

If you stop and examine the sky on a dark and moonless night, it’s easy to find color

differences among stars. The color of a star is a signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can’t see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars differ in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.

Some stars appear brighter to human beings simply because they’re closer. Astronomers

rank the brightness of stars which are seen form Earth by giving them a name known as magnitude(光度) ---- the smaller the magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a number that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With a magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky. 61. From the song quite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that ________. A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter B. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than Earth C. stars are very large and always shine brightly

D. starlight’s brightness and color are the signs of its temperature 62. The underlined phrase “a water filter” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

10

A. the earth B. stars C. the rain D. the air

63. From Paragraph 3, we can know that _________. A. a red star often sends out much brighter light

B. a blue or white star is hotter than a red or yellow star C. a yellow star like the sun is the hottest in space D. a blue star is much bigger than stars in other colors 64. Magnitude is designed to see________. A. how far a star is from Earth stars

C. how far a star is from other stars 65. Which is the best title of this passage? A. What do stars look like?

B. Which song do children like best? D. how bright a star is seen from Earth

B. how bright a star is compared to other

C. How to view the stars from Earth? D. Why are many stars so dim at night?

第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题，共60分)

B. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。（共10小题，计10分） Dear Seth,

You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’ll tell you in this letter. But I’ve thought a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and

about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the difficulties that you’ll face.

I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned.

As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you. Life can be unkind

There will be people in your life who won't be very nice. They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them. Be open to life anyway

11

Yes, you’ll find unkindness and pain in your journey through life, but don’t let that

close you to new things. Don’t move back from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people. Life isn’t a competition

You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college,

at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition. It's a journey. Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of continual improvement, of love. Love should be your rule

If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It

might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you?, love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are. Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but badly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.

Love,
