1. 现在进行时表示将来
当一个句子的意思涉及一个计划好的事件或者明确的意图时, 用现在进行时可以表示将来时间. 现在进行时的将来意义或者通过时间副词或者通过上下文来暗示出来.
现在进行时表将来时常有“意图”，“安排”（但不是固定不变的）或“打算”的含义。这种现在进行时比较生动，给人一种期待感，它常表示最近或较近的将来。所用动词多是转移动词，如：
1) Sam has already made his plans. He is leaving at noon tomorrow.
2) A: What are you going to do this afternoon?
B: After lunch I am meeting a friend of mine.
We are going shopping.
Would you like to come along?
2. 一般将来时和be going to 表示将来
1) 当说话人在做一个预测时, (他或她认为将来会发生或出现某种情况), will 和be going to都是可以用的.
2) 表达一种事先计划或打算时( 说话人打算在将来做某事因为在过去他或她已制定了一个计划或决定去做这件事),只能用be going to.
3) 表达意愿时, 只能用will.

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit(习惯).
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Think you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you.

点拨：
1. 应选C。Scientists have always wanted…, 如果用ever只表示曾经，already 只表示已经，但选用了always 就表示不断地向宇宙进行探索。
2. 应选B。前句已经讲到知道月亮的大小远近，本句讲的是But they wanted to know more about it.
3. 应选A。送人到月球，用send men to the moon; take 是带人去，谁也没去过，谁又能带谁呢？carry men to, 装载人去，没有send to 意义好；have men to, 是错误的。
4. 应选D。reaches解释为达到only 240 kilometers; 用is逻辑上是不对的，air 不可能离开地球240公里的；用are语法上错误；空气并不travel。
5. 应选C。前句讲到A plane cannot fly, 但不知道是什么，直到下一句才点明是rocket, 所以应用something。
6. 应选D。gas 是不可数名词，用become、get、make 都不合语法；is made 表示气体在火箭内部燃烧得很热。
7. 应选A。因此推进火箭，应该用so, 这是结果；because表示因为，语义不对；for作为解释，也不行；that的表达结构不对。
8. 应选A。make the rocket fly up…, make 后面加动词原形。
9. 应选B。Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them 应该是 have flown to another planet, 有人的火箭到月球，无人的当然已经更远。
10. 应选B。One day, 当然指的是将来，所以应该用will be able to。
