26. impossible【点拨】根据“That seemed...years ago. But now the idea might come true.”中的“But”可知，这两句是转折关系，再结合提示词可知，此处应表示“几年前这似乎是不可能的，但是现在这个想法可能会实现”，形容词 impossible“不可能的”符合语境。
27. a【点拨】此处泛指“一个伟大的英国科学家”，空后的 great 以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词 a。
28. fly
29. colder【点拨】根据空后的“than”和提示词可知，空处应填 cold 的比较级 colder。
30. sent【点拨】根据“Some years ago”可知，时态是一般过去时，所以空处应填 send 的过去式 sent。
31. Luckily【点拨】根据“they found that there is water on it”可知，在火星上发现水这件事是幸运的，结合提示词和空处所在位置可知，空处应填副词 luckily“幸运的是”，用于修饰整个句子，句首字母要大写。
32. put【点拨】plan to do sth.“计划做某事”。
33. Although/Though【点拨】分析“...it was dangerous, over 200,000 people still wanted to take part in it.”可知，前后句是让步关系，空处应用 although“尽管”或 though“尽管”来引导，句首首字母要大写。
34. building
35. at【点拨】分析“have an even closer look...our red neighbor”可知，have a look at sth.“看一看某物”。
