13、that planets with hydrogenrich atmospheres (气体) could host certain forms of life，”Bjrn Benneke said, a professor at the Institute for Research on Exoplanets at Universit de Montral. However, a news release says，“K218bs large atmosphere is too thick and creates highpressure conditions, which likely p

14、revents life from existing on the planets surface. ” While these researchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K218b because of its lack of surface，rain wouldnt pour on the planet. Without a real surface, landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible, especially because the gas is so

15、 thick and has such a high pressure that any Earthcreated spacecraft sent there would be devastatedThe research team analysed data from Hubble Space Telescope observations that they made between 2016 and 2017 of the K218b planet. It allows scientists to detect (探测) clear characters of water in a pla

16、nets atmosphere. This team plans to expand this research even further by studying K218b with NASAs James Webb Space Telescope, which is ready to launch in 2021. “This type of research，” Benneke said, “is leading towards a final goal of being able to study the Earthlike planet. ”“We are not quite the

17、re yet，” he said, “but this is really exciting. ”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于系外行星K218b的新发现。K218b这颗行星与地球类似，科学家最近发现它上面有水，但是否有生命存在还有待进一步证实。4What can we learn about K218b?AIt is a planet closest to the sun.BIt hosts certain forms of life because of thick gas.CIt is covered with a thin atmosphere.DIts a plan

21、e?Now that Curiosity is beaming back Earthlike pictures of Martian landscapes, the old question raises its head：could man and woman ever go there? The answer is, very definitely yes. There are a number of practical challenges to overcome first, however. There are differences between Earth and Mars,

22、but also a number of similarities. 1 Phobos and DeimosUnlike Earth, Mars does not have a polar magnetic field. Scientists believe that the two Martian moons，Phobos and Deimos, are captured little planets. 2 3 For the annual IGEM or International Genetically Engineered Machines competition, students

23、around the world attempt to make living cells perform new tasks. In preparation for the human colonisation of Mars, seeds and organic matter would have to be transported from Earth to begin growing plants and establishing a food supply.Supersized BeesPlants need pollinators as well as water, and the

24、 best pollinator on Earth is the humble beeand entire hives would be transported to Mars. 4 However, without natural predators, they could grow very large, indeed.Overcoming ChallengesOpening PossibilitiesThere will be other challenges to overcome, for example, the effect on the human body of living

25、 in a field of lower gravity. 5 Right now, we ought to welcome the challenges. The more challenges we overcome now，the more prepared we will be for moving out of our solar system and into the grand, universal adventure that is ahead of us.AIGEMBThe next question is：could man colonise Mars?COnce ther

27、GMars has Earthlike seasons and the planet surface is abundant in minerals essential for plant growth.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。通过对比火星与地球上生物及环境的异同，论证了将来人类登上火星生活的可能性。1G上句中介绍地球与火星有不同但也有相似之处，下面应具体举例。G项表达了火星拥有与地球相似的季节和植物生长所必需的矿物质，因此答案为G。2F上文中提到科学家认为Phobos和Deimos是火星的月亮，但其实是两颗小行星，因此它们对火星的旋转没有月亮对地球一样的平衡作用。因此答案为F。3A第三段主要介绍了为了向火星上运输种子和有机物质，每年各地的学生都会参加IGEM比赛，由此可知本段的小标题应为A项。4C因为上文中提到为了把传粉者蜜蜂运到火星上，要把完整的蜂巢运过去，下面应介绍到达火星以后怎么做，因此答案为C。5E上面一句提到到火星后将面对重力较小的问题，这正好是国际空间站的宇航员们遇到过的问题，因此答案为E。7
