The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future explorations in space. The distance between the moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is of miles away ! Traveling to the planets or travels between planets will be man’ s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more exciting. Recently, two American unmanned spacecraft, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars in an attempt to discover whether that planet had any life on it. So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely, dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists believe that in the future, space stations can be built in space. These stations can act as stop-over points in space. Spacecraft can refuel at these stations and get their supply of air, food and water. Spaceships of the future will be bigger and faster. They will be able to carry passengers for trips to the moon or planets. Man may in the future find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, and make them his home. However such a possibility is still in the distant future. At the same time, Man should realize that the Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to value and care for it. Which of the following statements is true？ A．Recently, two American astronauts have landed on Mars. B．The surface of Mars is very hot. C．The journey to the moon started the future exploration in space. D．There is life in Venus.

Recipesfor ices spread fromItalyto the rest of Europe in the 1500’s. The chefs of kings constantly experimentedwith new combinations to please their masters, and at some point cream andbutter were added to the recipes for ice. The new dish was called cream ice.Cream ice, molded into amusing shapes, began to be served on the tables ofkings across Europe. Louis XIV (1638—1715)surprised his court with a dessert of eggs in cups of silver and gilt. Theeggs, of course, were really cream ice. Graduallycream ice took the name it has today. One of the earliest advertisements forice cream was put in a New Yorkpaper in 1786. The ad announced that “Ladies and gentlemen may be supplied withice- cream every day at the City Tavern by their humble servant, Joseph Crowe.”But ice cream was still not an everyday event. It was usually presented infancy shapes at the end of dinner parties. Policy Madison (1768—1849) was famous for herimaginative dinners, and she was the first to serve ice cream at the WhiteHouse. When her guests came into the dining room, they found a table coveredwith delicious dishes, and in the center of the table, a huge mound of pink icecream on a silver platter. Icecream was such a delicacy because it was so hard to make. At first it wasbeaten and then shaken by hand in a pan of salt and ice until it became firm. Afreezer that was cranked by hand was developed around 1846. Making ice creamwas still a chore, but cranking the freezer was much easier and faster thanshaking the mixture in a pan. “Icecream socials” became a popular way to entertain friends. Everyone helped turnthe crank of the freezer, and homemade peach or strawberry ice cream was thereward. The development of the continuous freezer in the 1920’smade the manufacture of ice cream very quick and economical. It soon was easierto buy packaged ice cream than to make it at home. Eskimo pies and popsiclesbegan to be sold at the same time. Possiblyice cream cones began with the World’s Fair in 1893. Vendors there sold FriedIce Cream. The ice cream was covered with a fritter batter and then quicklydipped in very hot lard or olive oil. Putting the ice cream in an alreadyprepared cone was the next step. Today there are many novelty products, fromfrozen drumsticks to ice cream pies. 16.According to the passage, which of thefollowing served ice cream disguised as eggs？ A. Policy Madison B.
