27、NASA said its Kepler spacecraft has spotted 'Earth's bigger, older cousin': the first nearly Earth-size planet to be found in the habitable zone of a star similar to our own.

Though NASA can’t say for sure whether the planet is rocky like ours or has water and air, it's the closest match yet found.

The planet, Kepler-452b, is about 60% bigger than Earth, NASA says, and is located in its star's habitable zone, where life-sustaining liquid water is possible on the surface of a planet.

A visitor there would experience gravity about twice that of Earth's, and scientists say the possibility of it having a rocky surface are 'better than ever'. While it's a bit farther from its star than Earth is from the sun, its star is brighter, so the planet receives about the same amount of energy from its star as Earth does from the sun.

Kepler researcher Jeff Jenkins said, 'The planet almost certainly has an atmosphere, although scientists can't say what it's made of. But if the assumptions are correct, kepler-452b's atmosphere may be thicker than Earth's. '

It takes 385 days for the planet to orbit its star. 'Because it has spent so long orbiting in this zone—6 billion years—it's had plenty of time to brew life,' Jenkins said.

'That's an opportunity for life to arise, if all the necessary ingredients and conditions for life exist on this planet, ' he said in a statement.

Kepler-452b is too far away for humans to visit. But the discovery of this new Earth-like planet can tell us a lot about what’s possible for the future of space travel. 'The next step in the process is to do follow-up missions to find planets similar to kepler-452b, but much closer to Earth, ' said Peter Coughlin, a Kepler research scientist. 'We could do a lot more research into those planets, and even start to think about visiting one day. '

【1】The researchers are sure that Kepler-452b ________．

A．is larger than Earth

B．has an atmosphere

C．has air and water

D．has many rocks

【2】What is the similarity between Kepler-452b and the Earth?

A．They are both located in the sun's habitable zone．

B．Their distances from the sun are almost the same．

C．Their atmospheres are made of the same compositions．

D．They get almost the same amount of energy from their stars.．

【3】The underlined word 'brew' in paragraph 6 most probably means ________.

A．improve

B．endanger

C．produce

D．protect

【4】What should be the best title for the text?

A．Kepler-452b Is Compared to the Earth.

B．NASA Discovers a New Earth-Like Planet.

C．A Spacecraft Was Launched to Find Super-Earth.

D．A New Planet With Life Is Discovered.

28、   Space is the final frontier (前沿). Sending rockets into space has become almost common. The demand for communications satellites and space-based image services is growing.

Today, space efforts cost about $200 billion a year. Joint efforts between governments and businesses are helping to lower costs and increase our understanding of the universe.

The business of space looks good for Orbital ATK, a company based in the United States. In January, the company launched its Antares rocket. The rocket was carrying the first of eight planned supply shipments to the International Space Station. Orbital ATK is one of the two American companies paid by NASA to transport supplies to the space station.

A company called Arianespace is a private European space business. Clayton Nowry heads the American division of the company. He says the increase in rocket launches is partly the result of increased demand for space-based technologies. These include high-definition (高清的) broadcasts and satellite broadband services.

While there is more demand for satellites, the end of NASA's Space Shuttle program in 2011 has hurt the space industry. Janice Starzyk works at International Launch Services. She works on education issues at the Washington Space Business Roundtable. She said, "It's a pity that the program's shutdown was a huge, huge set of lay-offs (下岗人员) in the industry."

But even as NASA reduces its spending, other countries have announced plans to explore space. In December 2013, China became just the third country to land an unmanned space vehicle on the moon. A month later, India sent its first communications satellite.

【1】What makes sending rockets into space become very usual?

A.More and more people wanting to explore space.

B.Space becoming human's final home and dream.

C.Companies making every effort to earn $ 200 billion a year.

D.Increasing need for communications satellites and space-based image services.

【2】Why are governments and businesses working together?

A.To earn more money from space projects.

B.To send more rockets into space and use them.

C.To produce more communications satellites for the public.

D.To keep costs down and help us learn more about the universe.

【3】What do we know about Orbital ATK?

A.It's a private European space business.

B.It sent its Antares rocket in January.

C.It's a company based in the United Kingdom.

D.It's the only American company paid by NASA.

【4】How may Janice Starzyk feel about the program's shutdown?

A.Hopeful. B.Content.

C.Regretful. D.Uninterested.
