Question

Read and write “T”or “F”（阅读下列短文作出判断，与短文内容一致的用“T”表示，不一致的用“F”表示）

Venus

Venus is the nearest planet to Earth, and in some ways the two planets are similar.

They are both made of iron and rock and are about the same size. The pull of gravity is about the same on both planets. So if you were standing on Venus, you would weigh almost the same as on Earth. But you would be very, very hot --- on the surface of Venus, the temperature is about 450℃! Large amounts of carbon dioxide gas（CO2）in the planet’s atmosphere are like a blanket. Heat from the Sun is trapped under a thick layer of clouds. These clouds are not made of water --- they are made of acid. The whole atmosphere is poisonous. Venus is sometimes called Earth’s “evil twin”.

Venus turns much more slowly than Earth does. A day on Venus is about as long as 117 Earth days. It also turns in the opposite direction to earth. So on Venus you would see the Sun rising in the west and setting in the east.

Because the acid clouds are very thick and are moving up to 360 kilometers an hour, it has been hard to get pictures of Venus. During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s the former Soviet Union sent a number of probes（空间探测仪）to land there. None of the probes lasted longer than two hours on the hot surface, but they did send back important information and pictures. In the early 1990s, the USA’s Magellan probe, was able to map most of the planet’s surface. The Japanese probe, Akatsuki, reached Venus in 2015, finding out more about our nearest neighbor. It is believed that more probes will be sent there in the future. After all, at its closest, Venus is only 38 kilometers away!

1.You would get the same weight as on Earth if you stood on Venus.

2.The clouds on Venus are made of water not acid.

3.Venus turns so fast that you can see the Sun rising in the west.

4.It has been difficult to get pictures of Venus because of the high temperature.

5.It’s believed that Venus is close enough to Earth that many probes will be sent.
