These flat regions are remains of ancient lava flows(熔岩流) that happened billions of years ago. The far side, which always faces away from Earth, is the opposite. It has more mountains and craters(坑), making it look rocky. For many years, scientists wondered why the two sides differ so much. Recently, a team led by NASA scientist Ryan Park found the answer lies under the moon’s surface. The team used data(数据) from the mission called GRAIL. In 2011 and 2012, two spacecraft, Ebb and Flow, orbited(绕轨道飞行) the moon for a year. Their job was to measure(测量) how the moon bends because of Earth’s gravity(地球引力) . Like a soft ball that changes shape when squeezed(挤压), the moon bends (弯曲 slightly as it moves around Earth. This tiny movement gives clues about its interior(内部). ______Park said, “At first, we couldn’t believe the data and checked it many times.” The near side is warmer inside, which may make its rocks soft and allow more bending. The far side is cooler and harder, so it bends less. This difference explains why the two sides look so different. This discovery helps us understand other planets too. Scientists have used this method to study Jupiter and the asteroid(小行星) Vesta. By observing how these bodies respond to gravity, scientists learn about their internal layers(内层) , such as whether they have liquid or solid(液体或固体) parts. Park added, “ This method will help explore many planetary bodies in our solar system.” This new knowledge improves our understanding of planet formation(形成) and change. Next time you look at the moon, remember its two faces tell a story about what lies beneath(在...下面). ( )1.What does the underlined word “Their” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Researcher’s plans. B.Results of the study. C.Craters on the surface. D.The two orbiting machines. ( )2.Which sentence best fills the blank “_____” in Paragraph 4? A.They finally found both sides were too cold to move. B.At first, they noticed the near side was harder than expected. C.Strangely, the moon’s near side showed more bending. D.At last, the moon’s surface became totally flat. ( )3.What is the best title for this article? A.The History of Ancient Lava Flows on the Moon B.Why the Moon Bends round Earth C.GRAIL’s New Discoveries About the Moon D.Measure the Moon’s Surface C Volunteers are people who help others without asking for money.
