25、Zheng He was a famous person in history. In 1405, he set off from China for the first voyage (航行). This was nearly a century before Christopher Columbus first set sail on his journey of discovery to America. “His travels are so important that they are still worth studying for modern life today.” said one famous person.

    Zheng He was born in Yunnan in 1371. During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor ordered Zheng He to visit the islands outside China. His task was to develop relations and set up trade routes with foreign countries.   He used a few years to built the biggest ships in the world at that time. They were big enough to carry 25,000 people as well as very large number of goods.

     From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on trips and visited South-East Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa which is the farthest. It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit. These voyages allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk. At the end of each voyage, Zheng He returned with many things that were seen in China for the first time, such as a giraffe from Africa. Besides developing trade, the voyages also encouraged the exchange of cultures and technologies. They helped the development of those countries.

    Zheng He died in 1433 during his last voyage. However, his voyages were such a huge achievement that people still remember him as a pioneer in opening up cultural contacts between different peoples around the world.

【1】Why did Zheng He have to visit the islands outside China?

A．Because the emperor liked traveling.

B．Because the emperor disliked his hometown.

C．Because the emperor wanted to make more friends.

D．Because the emperor wanted him to develop the trade.

【2】How old was Zheng He when he began his first voyage?

A．At the age of 28.

B．At the age of 34.

C．At the age of 35.

D．At the age of 62.

【3】What was the farthest place that Zheng He visited?

A．The east coast of Africa.

B．South-East Asia.

C．The Middle East.

26、If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).

　　A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.

If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?

　 Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.

　　An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again.
