Read the passage and answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

From a plane you can see the fields, cities, mountains or rivers below. If we go into space, we will see much more of the Earth. People and man-made satellites(人造卫星) are sent up into space to look at the Earth, the stars and other planets to learn more about them.

The moon is our nearest neighbour in space. Men have visited it already. It is smaller than the Earth. Plants can't grow on the moon because there's no air or water on it. The moon hasn't its own light. It shines back the light of the sun. When the sun is shining on the side of the moon that faces us, it looks like a great round ball. We can't see the moon when the sun is shining on the side of the moon that doesn't face us.

In fact, the moon isn't as near as it looks. It is three hundred and eighty thousand kilometres away from the Earth. Of course we can fly to the moon in a spaceship. A spaceship flies very fast, and it flies at about eleven kilometres a second. So it only takes more than three days to get there by spaceship.

1. What can you see in space?

We can see the Earth ,_________________________ 

2. There are some plants on the moon, aren’t there?

　　____________________________________________

3. What happens when the sun is shining on the side of the moon that doesn't face us?

We can see walls everywhere in the world. But The Great Wall of China is the    1    of all. The Chinese call it “The Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall.” It goes from west to east,    2    mountains, through valleys(山谷) and finally reaches the sea. The Great Wall is more than 6,000 kilometres long, 6~7 metres high and 4~5 metres wide. In some places it is wide enough for five horses or ten men walk side by side along the top.

The Great Wall has a history of over two thousand years. People began to build the wall in the Spring and Autumn Period(春秋时期) in Chinese history. Qin Shihuang let people join up all the walls. He thought these walls could keep the enemy out of the country,    3    the Great Wall came to the world.

When you visit the Great Wall, you can’t wait to know how the Chinese people could build such a great wall thousands of years ago .   4    any modern things, it is really difficult to build it. They have to do all the work by hand. It takes millions of men hundreds of years to build it. And almost none of them can live when they finish it. So we often say the Great Wall is made of millions of    5   .

Today, the Great Wall becomes a place of interest not only to the Chinese people, but also to people all over the world. We Chinese people all feel proud of it.
