参考答案

正确答案：C
解析：本题为细节题，解题的关键在于第一段第三句： “They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was．One of the most interesting questions was“Where did the moon come from?””。这个句子所要表达的就是“wanted to know more about it”。文章中虽然提到how far away it was，但并不是要说明选项A．wished to travel to it的含义。选项B．enjoyed its beauty very much在文章中根本没有提及；选项D．developed many theories about it在第一段中确有提及，但是这并非人们仰望月球的原因。因此选项C为正确答案。
