北京外事学校2014对口升学英语一轮复习基础测试试题03（含答案) 61．Why are planets in other solar systems much more difficult to detect than stars? A．Because 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 radiant. 答案　D　[细节推断题。难度中等。根据文章第一段第一、二句“天文学方面最新发展使得我们能够在银河系和其他星系发现行星。这是一个重要的成就。因为相对来说，行星很小，而且也不发光。”可知，D项表述正确。故答案选D。] 62．The word “infinitely” (Paragraph 1) can best be replaced by________. A．occasionally B．probably C．extremely D．slightly 答案　C　[词义猜测题。难度中等。画线词所在句的句意为：寻找行星相当困难，但是要在行星上发现生命会“无比”艰难。所以，infinitely应意为“极多地，极其地”。故答案选C。] 63．What do we know about the kind of planet, other than our own, that might be able to support life? A．It will orbit closely round its star. B．It will be at least four billion years old. C．Its distance from its star will be such that it has a moderate temperature. D．It will have an atmosphere capable of supporting bacteria. 答案　D　[细节理解题。难度中等。根据文章第一段后两句及最后一段第五、六、七句可知，要想有生命存在，首先行星要与恒星距离适当。一旦我们找到这样一颗行星，我们就要想办法挡住它的恒星射过来的光线，这样我们就能彻底“看见”这颗行星，并分析它的大气层。首先我们要寻找植物，而不是那种“小绿人”。行星上最容易生存下来的是细菌。正是细菌生产出我们在地球上呼吸的氧气。故答案选D。] 64．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 dust B．infinitely more powerful than even the very successful Hubble C．orbiting in a different solar system a long way away from our own D．on the planet Jupiter, on the edge of our solar system 答案　A　[细节理解题。难度中等。根据文章最后一段前四句，使用放置在地球上的望远镜是无法观察到其他行星的生命的。地球周围温暖的大气层和望远镜散出的热量使得我们根本不可能找到比行星更小的物体。即使是一台放置在围绕地球的轨道上的望远镜——如，非常成功的哈勃望远镜——也因为太阳系中的尘埃微粒而无法胜任。望远镜要放置在木星那样遥远的行星上才有可能在外层空间搜寻生命。因为我们越是接近太阳系的边缘，尘埃就越稀薄。可知A项表述正确。故答案选A。] 65．When the writer says “The development of such a telescope will be one of the great astronomical project of the twenty-first century.” he means________. A．scientists of the 21st century must work on such a project B．ther
