Astronomers at the NASA have discovered no less than seven roughly Earth-sized worlds orbiting a dwarf star in the system. Scientists had previo
12、usly identified a tiny number of exoplanets, which are believed to have the qualities needed to support life. However, the new system contains an unprecedented(前所未有) number of Earth-sized, probably rocky planets, and is being acknowledged as an accelerated leap forward in the search for extraterrest
13、rial (外星球的)life.Three of the new planets are said to be particularly promising because there might exist oceans. Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA, told a press conference in Washington: This gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not a matter of if, but when.The planets were
14、 discovered using NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope, which was able to track how fast each of the planets crossed the star Trappist-l and completed an orbit. From this the research team calculated how far the planets were from their star, and therefore how likely they are to be habitable.NASAs Hubble Sp

Future telescopes, including the proposed European Extremely Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, may be powerful enough to discover markers of life, such as oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets.Astro

42、sa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the countrys civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolu
43、tion of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.Poole says before the countrys 15-year-long civil war, the 100,000acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help fi

However,
47、 scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the trend.1、What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?AIllegal hunting.BConstant farming.CA pure coincidence.DNatural evolution.2、Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique?ATo get funds by s
