like that on our own planet They reason this in the following way 用心 爱心 专心 2 As far as astronomers can determine the entire universe is built of the same matter They have no reason to doubt that matter behaves in the same way in every part of the universe Therefore it is reasonable to guess that other stars with their own planets were born in the same way as our own solar system What we know of life on Earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere This eliminates 排除 all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the Earth A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere a larger one would hold too much of it Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light This eliminates double stars or stars that flare up suddenly Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify 合格 Finally life could evolve 进化 only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun With a weaker sun than our own the planet would have to be closer to it With a stronger sun it would have to be farther away If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets then how many planets might support life First eliminate those stars that are not like our sun Next eliminate most of their planets they are not the same size and weight as the Earth Finally remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet It may not have begun yet or it may have already died out This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found However even if life could exist on only one planet in a million there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist 1 Which of the following statements is NOT true A The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth B Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life C Double stars can provide steady light and heat D The distance between a planet and its sun should be right 2 The existence of life depends on all EXCEPT A the right amount of atmosphere B our own solar system C steady heat and light D the right distance from its sun 3 Astronomers believe that matter in different parts of the universe A has different laws B hasn t one common law C shares the same laws D shares no common law 4 At the end of the passage the author suggests that A it is impossible for life to exist on planets B earthlike life could only exist on a few planets C life could exist on only one planet in a million D life could exist on a great number of planets B 用心 爱心 专心 3 Every land has its own dining custom and the United States is no exception Americans feel that
