shoot-|||-st From tiny seeds (种子 ), great discoveries grow. A mini-garden carried on China's Chang'e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world. This is yet another success for Chang'e 4. On January 2, the probe (探测器)became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight. Part of Chang'e 4's mission (使命) is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring(探索) whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang'e 4 carried a mini-garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot(发芽)on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground), and so they always shoot upwards. The moon's gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth's, so Chang'e 4's experiment was a test: would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do. Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon, sunlight will not return until the start of February. As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can't stand the cold(it can drop to-170°C on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.【小题1】The passage is mainly about __________.

题目解答
答案
【小题1】A
【小题2】D
【小题3】B
解析
文章主要讲述了嫦娥四号探测器在月球背面成功种植植物的实验，这是人类首次在月球上种植植物。文章还介绍了月球背面的特性以及实验的目的和结果。
步骤 2：分析问题
问题1要求选择文章的主要内容，问题2要求判断哪个句子是正确的，问题3要求选择文章可能出现在杂志的哪个部分。
步骤 3：解答问题
问题1：文章主要讲述了嫦娥四号探测器在月球背面成功种植植物的实验，这是人类首次在月球上种植植物。因此，文章的主要内容是“嫦娥四号的另一个成功”。
问题2：根据文章内容，月球背面和正面得到的阳光一样多，嫦娥四号携带的是一个迷你花园，我们不能从地球上看到月球背面，地球上的植物在月球上知道如何生长。因此，正确的句子是“地球上的植物知道如何在月球上生长”。
问题3：文章主要讲述了嫦娥四号探测器在月球背面成功种植植物的实验，这是人类首次在月球上种植植物。因此，文章可能出现在杂志的“科学与技术”部分。
