解析

试题分析：这篇短文主要描述了有史以来人类对于月球的研究与开发问题。
小题1:根据第一段People have always wondered about the moon.描述，可知此处指的是人们对月亮很感兴趣。短语be interested in对……感兴趣。结合语境可知填形容词interested，感兴趣的。
小题2:根据Thousands of years ago, people studied the moon and used it to keep track of time.描述，可知本句中指的是，人们观察了月亮如此长的时间，以至于他们开始知道关于它的越来越多的事情。结合语境可知填形容词such，如此的，这样的。
小题3:根据people invented instruments such as telescopes 描述，可知此处指的是一种名叫望远镜的仪器。结合语境可知填过去分词called名叫……的。
小题4:根据In the mid-1900s, scientists sent up rockets that could explore the moon’s surface.描述，可知此处指的是在20世纪中期。故填序数词twentieth，第二十。
小题5:根据Later, astronauts actually went to the moon. They sent lots of information about the moon back to the earth.描述，可知本句指的是人类第一次在月球登陆。结合语境可知本句描述的是过去的动作，故谓语动词用一般过去时态。故填过去式动词landed，登陆，着陆。
