25、iation from its star as Earth does from our sun.Previously,scientists have discovered gas giants that have water in their atmospheres,but this is the leastgiant planet ever to have water detected in its atmosphere.“The water detection was quite clear to us relativelyearly on,”lead author Bjorn Benne

26、ke,a professor at the Institute for Research on Exoplanets at the Universite deMontreal,told S in an interview.Studies have suggested that planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres could host certain forms of life,Benneke said.However,K2-18 bs large atmosphere is extremely thick and creates high-pressu

27、re conditions,which“likely prevents life as we know it from existing on the planets surface,”a news release reads.While theseresearchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K2-18 b,because of its lack of surface,rain wouldnt poolon the planet.Without a real surface,so to speak,landing on the p

28、lanet would also be nearly impossible,especially because the gas is so thick and has such an incredibly high pressure that any Earth-created spacecraftsent there would be destroyed.Benneke suggests that,possibly,this planet formed by rock absorbing large amounts of gas,“like a vacuumcleaner”,he said

32、d in exploring K2-18 b completely.B.It is impossible for humans to land on other earth-like planets.C.Scientists are making progress in studying real earth-like planetsD.The K2-18 b planet has passed before its star eight times between 2016 and 2017.31.What is the text mainly about?A.The research on

34、ice to“never eat between meals”,which makes sensein protecting our teeth from sweets.Yet there can be significant advantages to snacking on healthy foods.Researchers have found that eating frequent mini-meals offers health benefits.Dr.David Jenkins and colleaguesat the University of Toronto have rep
