43、 newspaper b. in a magazine c. in a research paper d. on the internetcrecent developments in astronomy have made it possible to detect planets in our own milky way and in other galaxies. this is a major achievement because, in relative terms ,planets are very small and do not give out light. finding

44、 planets is proving hard enough, but finding life on them will prove infinitely more difficult. the first question to answer is whether a planet can actually support life. in our own solar system , for example , venus is far too hot and mars is far too cold to support life. only the earth provides i

45、deal conditions , and even here it has taken more than four billion years for plant and animal life to evolve( 进化).whether a planet can support life depends on the size and brightness of its star, thatis itssun” . imagine a star up to twenty times larger, brighter and hotter than our ownsun. a plane

46、t would have to be a very long way from it to be capable（有能力的）of supporting life. on the contrary, if the star were small, the life supporting planet would have tohave a close orbit round it and also provide the perfect conditions for life forms to develop. but how would we fund such a planet? at pr

48、here and the heat generated（产生）by the telescope would make it impossible to detect objects as small as planets. even a telescope in orbit round the earth like the very successful hubble telescope, would not be suitable because of the dustparticles in our solar system. a telescope would have to be as

49、 far away as the planet jupiter to look for life in outer space because the dust becomes thinner the further wetravel towards the outer edges of our own solar system. once we detected a planet, we would have to finda way of blocking out the light from its star, so that we would be able tosee the pla

50、netproperly and analyze its atmosphere. in the first instance, we would be looking for plant life , rather than “little green med . the life forms most likely to develop on a planet would be bacteria. it is bacteria that have generated the oxygen we breathe on earth. for most of the earth s history

51、they have been the only form of life on our planet. as earth-dwellers , we always cherish the hope that we will be visited by little green men and that we will be able to communicate with them. but this hope only exists in science fiction. if we were able to discover lowly forms of life like bacteri

52、a on another planet, it wouldcompletely change our view of ourselves. as daniel goldin of nasaobserved , a finding life elsewhere would change everything. no human efforts or thought would be unchanged by it.” 50. why are planets in other solar systems much more difficult to detect than stars?a. bec

53、ause of the dust particles in our own solar system b. because of the limitations of earth-based telescope c. because even the hubble is not powerful enough to see beyond the milky way d. because planets are small and dark, and stars are large and radiant51. the wordainfinitely” （paragraph l） tail be

55、h that it has a moderate temperature d. it will have an atmosphere capable of supporting bacteria53. a telescope capable of finding life on other planets would have to be . a. far enough from the center of our solar system not to be affected by dustb. infinitely more powerful than even the very succ

56、essful hubblec. orbiting in a different solar system along way away from our own d. on the planet jupiter, on the edge of our solar system54. when the writer says “the development of such a telescope will be one of the great astronomical project of the twenty-first century, “ he meansa. scientists o

57、f the 21 st century must work on such a projectb. there is still a long way to go to develop such a telescopec. we must develop such a telescope to observe other planetsd. such a telescope will be developed in the 21st century55. it can be inferred from the passage thata. the hubble telescope is suitable for any space explorationb. we humans will be visited by little green menc. finding life on another planet will be shocking newsd. no achievement has been made in astronomyditwas a cold even
