第二节 阅读短文，回答问题(每小题2分，共10分)
Have you ever looked at the Moon at night? We always see the same side. But there is another side we never see from the Earth. This is called the far side of the Moon.
For a long time, no spacecraft had ever landed there. But in 2019, something amazing happened! On January 3, a Chinese spacecraft called Chang'e 4 made a soft landing on the far side of the Moon.
Landing there was very difficult. Because the Moon is in the way, messages from the far side cannot go straight to the Earth. To solve this, China first sent a special satellite called Queqiao. This satellite flew to a spot where it could see both the Earth and the far side of the Moon. It worked like a bridge for messages between Chang'e 4 and scientists on Earth.
Chang'e 4 had two parts: a lander that stayed in one place, and a rover called Yutu-2 that could drive around. They took pictures and studied the rocks and soil on the Moon.
The Chang'e 4 mission was very important. It was the first time ever that a spacecraft had landed on the Moon's far side. It helped scientists learn many new things about the Moon and opened the door for more exciting lunar missions in the future.
61. When did Chang'e 4 land on the far side of the Moon?

62. Why was landing on the far side of the Moon difficult?

63. How did the special satellite Queqiao work?

64. Why was the Change'e 4 mission important?

65. Why do you think humans explore the Moon?

61. On January 3, 2019.
62. Because the Moon is in the way, messages from the far side cannot go straight to the Earth.
63. It worked like a bridge for messages between Chang'e 4 and scientists on Earth.
64. It helped scientists learn many new things about the Moon and opened the door for more
exciting lunar missions in the future.
65. I think humans explore the Moon for many good reasons. First, we are curious. The
Moon is close to us, and we want to know what it is like. Second, by studying the Moon, we can
learn about the Earth and the solar system.
