课时作业14Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·郸城一高月考)When the Apollo astronauts (宇航员) landed on the Moon in 1969, millions of people were rather sad. The person to blame for this was an artist named Chesley Bonestell. For many years, Bonestell had been creating beautifully detailed paintings of the Moon and planets. Viewers of his artwork were unhappy because the real Moon did not look like Bonestells pictures of it.As a space artist, Bonestell tried to make his drawings look exciting and as true as the Moon is. He worked closely with astronomers and scientists to get the most up-to-date scientific information available. But in the 1940s and 1950s, no one had ever seen another planet up close. Yet Bonestells paintings looked so real that some people thought they were photographs.Even though Bonestell was interested in astronomy, he did not start out as a space artist.

He drew Saturn as if it were seen by someone standing on each of the planets moons. The results were dazzling. Within a few years, Bonestells artwork was appearing regularly in magazines and books on astronomy and space flight.Many of Bonestells artworks had been right all along. But the biggest surprise was the Moon. Someone asked Bonestell what he was thinking when he saw the first pictures from the Moon. “I thought how wrong I was！” he said. “My mountains were sharp (陡峭的), and they arent on the Moon.”But he shouldnt have felt bad. No space artist had ever before taken so many people to so many faraway worlds. In the years just before the first manned space flights, Bonestells artwork prepared people for the amazing space adventure to come.1．Bonestell made his space drawings ___
