9、oons, looks bright and icy on the surface. But appearances can be deceiving: Miles within its cracked, frigid shell, Europa probably hides giant pools of liquid water. Where scientists find liquid water, they hope to find life as well.Since we cant go diving into Europas depths just yet, scientists

10、instead have to investigate the moons surface for clues to what lies beneath. In a new study, scientists investigated one group of strange ice patterns on Europa and concluded that the formations mark the top of an underground pool that holds as much water as the U.S. Great Lakes.Pictures of Europa,

11、 which is slightly smaller than Earths moon, clearly show a tangled(错综复杂的),icy mishmash（混合物） of lines and cracks known as “chaos terrains.（混乱地形） ” These chaotic places cover more than half of Europa. For more than 10 years, scientists have wondered what causes the formations. The new study suggests

12、that they arise from the mixing of vast underground stores of liquid water with icy material near the surface.For scientists who suspect that Europa also may be hiding life beneath its icy surface, the news about the new lake is exciting.“It would be great if these lakes harbored life,” Britney Schm

13、idt, a planetary scientist who worked on the study, told Science News. “But even if they didnt, they say that Europa is doing something interesting and active right now.”Schmidt, a scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, and her colleagues wanted to know how chaos terrains form.

21、r ridden on a balloon? Many tourist spots offer balloon rides in order for people to see the beauty of a place from above. A balloon contains a noble gas called helium. Formerly, balloons contained hydrogen but hydrogen is very flammable and dangerous when uncontrolled. Therefore, people shifted to

22、helium, which is safer. Helium is safe because it has the properties of the noble gases.2. People once believed that noble gases couldnt chemically react at all. For this reason, they were called inert gases. They were also clustered under Group 0 in the old periodic table because scientists believe

23、d that the gases have zero valence electrons in their outer shell. This was later proven to be untrue when some noble gas compounds were discovered.3. The gases are elements, which share similar properties. These properties include being monoatomic, colorless, odorless, being able to conduct electri

24、city, and having low chemical reactivity. Noble gases include Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon. These are all found in Group 18, in the rightmost column of the periodic table. If you look at the periodic table, you will notice that these elements are the only ones, which do not have a c

25、harge. Helium has the lowest molecular（分子的） weight while Radon is the heaviest.4. Remember that chemical reactions occur because atoms have “valence” electrons, which are electrons in their outer shell. When the outer shell is “unfilled” or the required number of electrons is not yet complete, the a

26、tom is more reactive. Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have complete electrons in their outer shell. This complete number varies. For instance, the outer shell of Helium has 2 valence electrons while the outer shell of Xenon has 8 electrons. Nowadays, there remains to be a few

27、noble gases because of the inherent low chemical reactivity of these said gases.5. Because of their properties, noble gases have many important applications. They are widely used in recreation, medicine and industries. For instance, Liquid Helium is used for superconducting magnets（磁体）. These magnet

28、s are very important in physics and medicine. When a doctor suspects that a persons brain has been damaged, he might request for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI allows the doctor to “see” the brain, without operating on the patient.23. Paragraph 2 A. What are the applications of noble gases?B.
