31、ernational honours a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy
32、 man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life.

In September 2010, a team of US scientists discovered an Earth-sized planet called Gliese 581g. It has a surface temperature neither too hot nor to
38、o cold for liquid(液态)water. Scientists think there is a chance that the planet could have life. The planet Gliese 581g goes around a star called Gliese 581, which is about 20 light-years from Earth. That is about 194 trillion(万亿)kilometres-500 million times farther away from us than the moon. A spac
39、ecraft traveling at one-tenth of the speed of light would reach Gliese 581g within about 220 years. A human cant live that long, but robotic explorers could make the job easier. However, our fastest spacecraft dont come anywhere near that one-tenth light-speed mark. At present, scientists dont know
40、what the surface might be like on Gliese 581g. What they know is that the planet is at the right distance from its star to have liquid water. Its also at the right distance to have an atmosphere that could protect the water if it is on the surface. Although spacecraft wont be getting there anytime s
41、oon. one way to look for life on Gliese 581g is to turn our radio telescopes(望远镜）towards the planet and search for radiation(放射). By studying the radiation, scientists would find out about the chemicals(化学物质) around the planet and discover if Gliese 581g has an atmosphere. If it has one, studying th
42、e atmosphere would give us a good idea of whether the planet has life or not. But itll probably be many years before we can do this properly. People have been arguing about whether there is alien life on Gliese 581g. Any discussion about alien life is just guessing at this point, according to its di
43、scoverers.( )12. What did scientists find in September 2010? A. A planet with water. B. A planet, similar to the earth. C. A planet without life. D. A planet near the earth.( )13.

44、away from us as the moon D. can be reached in about 220 years ( )14. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _. A. the possibility of living on Gliese 581g B. the kinds of chemicals around Gliese 581g C. the way of looking for life on Gliese 581g D. the aim of studying the radiation on Gliese 581g( )15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage above?A. Gliese 581g, a Likely Living Planet B. Gliese 581, a Likely Living PlanetC. Gliese 581g and Its Star D. Gliese 581g and Radiation
