But how could you tell the time if you are not anywhere on Earth?
Scientists are now thinking of creating a lunar(月球的) time zone. They believe it would be better for astronauts to communicate by using Moon Time, as they travel to, from, and across the Moon. At the moment, astronauts are using time zones of their own countries. But there could be safety problems caused by the differences in time- telling.
____ Gravity(引力) influences how quickly or slowly time passes. Since gravity is weaker on the Moon, clocks run a bit faster there. After 24 hours, a lunar clock would be56 microseconds ahead of a clock on Earth. Another point to consider is that a full day on Earth is about 24 hours between two sunsets. While on the Moon, it is nearly 709 hours, about 29.5 Earth days. This means that lunar night s can be around two weeks long, with only the Earth and the stars in the sky. With all this to think about, scientists need to decide whether it would be better to follow a time zone on Earth, or for the Moon to have its own special zone, which would have much longer days.
Scientists must consider other problems too. For example, who should be responsible for keeping the time zone going? And how can it be made practical for astronauts to use?
There are more countries planning Moon trips in the future. The idea of creating a time zone on the Moon would make these easier. And if a lunar time zone is set up, scientists could create time zones for other planets like Mars.
(1)、Scientists think that a lunar time zone can ____.A、keep the Moon clean B、keep astronauts healthy C、make the Moon trips safer D、make space travel faster(2)、Which of the following can be put in the blank ____ in Paragraph 3?A、Setting up a lunar time zone is not easy. B、Setting up a special time zone is important. C、Scientists are holding different opinions. D、Scientists need to do a lot of experiments.(3)、If the Moon has its own special time zone, a full day of it can be about ____ on Earth.A、56 microseconds B、24 hours C、two weeks D、29.5 days(4)、What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A、To give information about space travel. B、To introduce the idea of Moon Time. C、To describe an experience of time travel. D、To share news about landing on Mars.二、第一部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)第二节 (共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分

Five tips for a successful yard sale
Each summer, yard sales become popular and many people come to yards to get great deals on second- hand objects. Have you ever had a yard sale? What can you do to hold a successful yard sale? Here are five tips for you.
Every yard has its own advertisement. The best ad is signs. Draw some big signs with just "Yard Sale" and a large arrow (箭头) on a board in front of your yard. Pointing customers (顾客) in the right way is always better than just putting your address on the sign and hoping they know how to get there.
The more organized you are, the less busy it will be the morning of your yard sale. You want to make sure that you have everything set up before people arrive so you can have more time for answering questions and collecting money.
This is something a lot of people don't think about when preparing for a yard sale. You don't want to turn away customers because you don't have enough change. I suggest at least $50 in change, which means mostly $1's and $5's.
Running a yard sale on your own can be really stressful, especially if you have a lot of objects to sell. It's hard to run inside to go to the bathroom or try to talk to and collect money from several customers at once. Ask a friend or two if they have something they'd like to sell too and that way you'll have some help in case things get busy or you need a break to get a drink or some food.
Yard sales are fun and you can make a good amount of money. It's also a good chance for you to chat with your customers, make them feel comfortable, and enjoy yourself.
