27、①Scientists at the University of Florida have grown plants in soil（土壤）that has come from the Moon. The experiment（实验）marks an important step toward growing plants on the Moon.

② ▲ . It doesn’t have many nutrients—things that help plants grow. However, it has plenty of iron（铁）, and is full of tiny pieces of glass. What’s more, there’s not a lot of it on Earth. In fact, most of it was collected over 50 years ago by NASA. The lunar（月球的）soil is so valuable that it took the scientists 11 years to let NASA allow them to use it.

③The scientists chose a plant called thale cress（鼠耳芥）for their experiment. They put the lunar soil into 12 tiny bottles. They got the soil wet with water mixed with nutrients. Then they added seeds（种子）. To compare, the researchers also planted thale cress seeds in volcanic ash（火山灰）. After two days of watering, the scientists saw green growths in every bottle. “Everything sprouted（发芽）. I can’t tell you how surprised we were!” said Anna-Lisa Paul, the report’s lead writer.

④As the scientists continued to care for the plants, they began to notice differences. The plants grown in lunar soil weren’t as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash. They were smaller and grew more slowly. Most of the moon plants didn’t develop well and some leaves turned red. The researchers say that the plants were “stressed” by the lunar soil.

⑤Now, there’s a lot of interest in developing ways to help astronauts keep alive on the Moon. That’s partly because of NASA’s Artemis project which tries to send people to the Moon for a long period of time in a few years. Plants could help by providing food and oxygen（氧气）.

⑥“The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we’ll grow our own food,” said Dr. Robert Ferl. “Showing that plants will grow in lunar soil is actually a huge step in that direction.”

【1】Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 2?

A．Plants can grow very well in lunar soil

B．It’s not easy to collect soil from the Moon

C．There are many ways to grow plants in lunar soil

D．Soil from the Moon is very different from common soil

【2】The scientists’ experiment shows _______.

A．plants can not grow in lunar soil at all

B．plants can grow in lunar soil, but not so healthily

C．plants can’t grow in lunar soil unless they are provided with oxygen

D．plants grown in lunar soil are as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash

【3】Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.

A．how NASA’s Artemis project started

B．how long astronauts will live on the Moon

C．why scientists try to grow plants in lunar soil

D．when astronauts in NASA will be sent to the Moon

【4】Dr. Robert Ferl thinks it will be _______ to grow food on the moon.

A．possible

B．worrying

C．unnecessary

D．unbelievable
