共享题干题                                         (一)So Many 'Earths'     回答下列问题:     The Milky Way ( 银河) contains billions of Earth-sized planets that could support life that's the finding of a new study. It draws on date that came from NASA's top planet-hunting telescope.     A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service. Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170, 000 stars. Its data have been helping astronomers predict how mon planets are in our galaxy. The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth.        The authors of a study, published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of sciences, conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars, with a mass and temperature similar to the Sun, may host a planet that could support life as we know it. Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth's, but no more than twice that big. The planet also would have to orbit in a star's habitable zone. That's where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liquid.    The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions es from studying more than 42, 000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them. The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate ( 推算 ) to the rest of the stars that the telescope could not see.The estimate is rough, the authors admit. If applied to the solar system, it would define as habitable a zone starting as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although either might have been in the distant past). Using tighter limits, the researchers estimate that between 4 and 8 out of every 100 sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world. These are ones that would take 200 to 400 days to plete a yearly orbit.    Four out of every 100 sunlike stars doesn't sound like a big number. It would mean, however, that the Milky Way could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets with a change for life.1.[不定向选择题]The main task of the Kepler space telescope is to find out planets with similar conditions to Earth's.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentionedABC确定 2.[不定向选择题]The estimate of the number of planets that could support life is not very accurate.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentionedABC确定

1.参考答案:A
参考解析:根据文章第二段最后一句可知,Kepler space telescope专注于,也就是它的任务就是找到那些和地球环境类似的星球。
2.参考答案:A
参考解析:根据文章第六段第一句可知,作者承认,这个估计是比较粗的,也就是不那么精确的。3.[不定向选择题]The Earth is planet orbiting in the Sun's habitable zone.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentionedABC确定
