Water on the Moon

NASA has confirmed the presence of water on the moon’s sunlit surface, a breakthrough ____1____ (suggest)

the chemical compound that is vital to life on Earth could be distributed across more parts of the lunar surface than

the ice that ____2____ (find) previously in dark and cold areas.

“We don’t know yet if we can use it as a resource,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said, but he added

that learning more about the water is still crucial.

The discovery comes from the space agency’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA —

a ____3____ (modify) Boeing 747 that ____4____ take telescope high into Earth’s atmosphere, ____5____

researchers may peer at objects in space with hardly any visual disturbance from water vapor. To detect the

molecules, SOFIA also used a special camera to distinguish between water’s specific wavelength of 6.1 microns

and that of its close chemical relative hydroxyl, or OH.

The data confirm _____6_____ experts have suspected, that water might exist on the moon’s sunny surface,

though the form of it shall be _____7_____ (obvious) to detect. Experts will now try to figure out exactly how the

water came to form and why it persists.

“Data from this location reveal water in concentration of 100 to 412 parts per million trapped _____8_____ a

cubic meter of soil.” NASA said in a release about the discovery.

“_____9_____ without a thick atmosphere, water on the sunlit lunar surface should just be lost to space,” said

Casey Honniball, the lead author of a study about the discovery. “Somehow we’re actually seeing it.”

There are several possible explanations for the water’s presence, including an interesting yet

reasonable______10______ claiming its origin to the stony micro objects from space. Small balls of glass from that

process could trap water, according to the researchers’ paper.

Eating Jellyfish Could Come to the Rescue

According to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction—everything from birds and

mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect

___11___ species, we actively fish for many of them. For those seafood lovers, the news is sad, but the researchers

have come up with an unusual way we can help—and it ___12___ eating jellyfish.

Between 2006 and 2014,92 vulnerable or threatened ___13___ were being caught, recorded, and sold. When

they are sold, it is ___14___ that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species are required to be ___15___ according to

species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating.

It is stressed that only a/an ___16___ view of the real problem is shown. “A lot of the ‘seafood records’ are

listed in groups like ‘marine fish’. Here we didn’t look at those vague records, we only looked at records where the

actual species was listed — so we’ve made a huge ___17___ of the actual catch.

There are some ways to untie the mess we’re creating in the world’s oceans, including ___18___ our idea of

seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it’s not the first time scientists have

suggested it as a food source.

There are other ways to help keep the lovely marine lives off the menu. “We need to improve the labelling of

seafood so that consumers can have all the information to make a/an ___19___ choice,” conservation scientist

Carissa Klein told Science Alert.

And these choices, at least in some places, are easier than you might imagine. In Australia, where the

researchers are based, there’s even official guides providing the ____20____ future both on your table and at sea.

of nature. Various issues ___24___ to the philosophy of art have had a ___25___ impact on the or 20th-century

aesthetics. Among these are problems relating to the theory of form of art and to the distinction between
