AEntertainment BAdvertisement CLife DEducation BOf all the planets, Venus is often our nearest neighborIts orbit brings it closer to Earth than any other planetonly 26 million miles away at certain timesDespite this fact, for a long time it was generally said to be “the planet of mystery”This is because the atmosphere of Venus is so thick and so much cloud is it covered with that its surface is permanently hidden from sightIn size and mass, Venus is almost the equal of Earth, and its gravitational field（引力场） is only slightly weaker than ours, so that logically it might be expected to have the same kind of atmospherebut this is obviously not soScientists found that the main material of its atmosphere is carbon dioxideSince this is a heavy gas that would be expected to sink, it was reasonable to assume that carbon dioxide makes most of the atmosphere down to the ground levelCarbon dioxide acts in the manner of a greenhouse, trapping the Suns heat, so it follows that Venus is likely to be a very hot sort of worldYet opinions used to differAccording to one theory, the clouds contained a great deal of waterIt was even claimed that the surface might be largely ocean covered, in which case the atmospheric carbon dioxide would have polluted the water and produced seas of soda waterAnother interesting theory made Venus very similar to the Earth of over 200 million years agoThere would be mud plenty of vegetation, and primitive life forms such as giant dragonfliesIf so, then Venus might probably evolve the same way Earth has doneIn 1962 the American probe（探测器） Mariner 2 passed by Venus at less than 22，000 miles and gave us our first reliable informationThe surface proved to be very hot indeed; we now know that the maximum temperature is almost 500The atmosphere really is almost pure carbon dioxide, and those shining clouds are rich in sulfuric acid（硫酸）All ideas of a pleasant, oceanic Venus had to be abandonedThe scenea rocky, burnt landscapecould hardly be worseSome later probes have confirmed this impressionWhy is Venus so unlike Earth? The answer can only lie in its nearer distance from the SunIn the early days the Sun was less bright than it is nowVenus and Earth may have had the same temperature, but when the Sun became more powerful, the whole situation changedEarth, at 93 million miles, was just out of harms way, but Venus, at 67 million, was notIn a relatively short time on the cosmic（宇宙的） scale, Venus was transformed from a potentially lifebearing world into the terrible globe of today60The author writes the passage mainly to _Atell us the possibility of living on another planet Bcriticize the lack of research on the mystery Cshow the principle of researching into planets Dintroduce some scientific researches into Venus 61If what the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 conveys were right, which of the following statements could be WRONG about Venus?
