题材: 太空生命  词数: 246  建议阅读时间: 5分钟

阅读下面的短文,选择正确答案。

The search for life outside the Earth may have moved to a new and exciting level.A team of astronomers (天文学家) said they have found a new planet that has many important parts similar to those of the Earth.

The planet,which travels around a red dwarf star (红矮星) called Gliese 581,has the right size and temperature.Most importantly,the planet lies in the suitable living area of the star,which makes the planet not too hot or too cold.

Scientists say the new world,Gliese 581 c,is five times larger than the Earth.It may have water since it is in the right place from the red dwarf.

Swiss scientist Michel Mayor said it is an important step on the way to find possible life in the space and there are still lots of questions.

For more than ten years,astronomers and scientists have been keeping their eyes on the space in search for another Earth,another world that can support life or already has it.

According to records,the first discovery of extra solar planet going around a normal star was made in 1995.Since then,the number of newly discovered worlds has increased to about 200.But they are just dead with lifeless bodies.

The Gliese 581 c came into our eyes and mankind has reason to celebrate.After all,we may have living neighbours.The discovery doesn't promise much,but it offers hope that there could be other people or living things out there.

参考译文

对地球外生命的探索可能已经进入了一个崭新并令人兴奋的阶段。一支天文科学家研究小组说,他们已经发现了一颗新的行星,它的许多重要组成部分与地球相似。

这个行星围绕着一颗名为“格利泽581”的红矮星运转,它有着适合生命存在的体积和温度。最重要的是,这颗行星位于红矮星的适居带内,这样它的表面温度既不会太热也不会太冷。

科学家说,这个新世界——格利泽581 c有地球体积的5倍大。由于它距离红矮星位置适中,因此上面可能存在水分。

瑞士科学家米歇尔·梅厄说,这是人类探索太空生命过程中迈出的重要一步,当然仍有许多问题等待解决。

十多年来,天文学家和科学家一直在观测太空,以寻找另一个“地球”,一个适合生命生存或已有生命存在的世界。

据相关记载,人类第一次发现围绕正常恒星运转的太阳系外的行星是在1995年。此后新发现的行星数量已增至约200颗。但这些行星都是无生命迹象的寂寞天体。

所以,这次格利泽581 c进入我们的视野,人们有理由庆祝。毕竟,我们可能有活着的邻居,虽然这次发现的前景并不很明朗,但它给了我们希望:地球以外可能有其他文明或生命存在。
