It draws on date that came from NASAs top planet-hunting telescope. The auth
5、ors of a study published in The Proceedings of the Nationa of sciences, conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars, wi a mass and temperature similar to the Sun, may host a planet that could support life know it. The estimate is rough, the authors adm o the solar system, it would define
6、as habitable a zone starting as close to the us and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike (although e ght have been in the distant past). Using tighter limits, the researchers estimate that 4 and 8 out of every 100 Sunlike stars could host an Earth-sized world. These are o hat
7、would take 200 to 400 days to complete a yearly orbit. The new estimate of how many planets might fit the ns comes from studying more than 42,000 stars and identifying suitable w biting them. The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate to the rest of the st elescope could not see . Such a plane
8、t would have a diameter at least as large as Earthe zone. Thats, but no more than twice that big. The planet also would have to orbit in a stars hab s where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liq id A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service
9、. Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170,000 stars. Its data have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our galaxy. T pe focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth. 16. The Kep ace telescope has been in
10、 service for 15 years. 17. n task of the Kepler space telescope is to find out planets with similar conditions to Earth s. Four out of 00 sunlike stars doesnt sound like a big number. It would mean, however, that the M y could host more than a billion Earth-sized planets with a change for life. B. W

13、te Change: The Long Reach 1 Earth is warming. Sea levels are rising. Theres more carbon in the air, and Arctic ice is melting faster than at any time in recorded history. Scientists who study the environment to better gauge (评估) Earths future climate now argue that these changes may not reverse for
14、a very long time. 2 People burn fossil fuels like coal and oil for energy. That burning releases carbon dioxide, a colorless gas. In the air, this gas traps heat at Earths surface. And the more carbon dioxide released, the more the planet warms. If current consumption of fossil fuels doesnt slow, th
15、e long-term climate impacts could last thousands of years and be more severe than scientists had been expecting. Climatologist Richard Zeebe of the University of Hawaii at Manoa offers this conclusion in a new paper. 3 Most climate-change studies look at whats going to happen in the next century or
16、so. During that time, changes in the planets environment could nudge (推动) global warming even higher. For example: Snow and ice reflect sunlight back into space. But as these melt, sunlight can now reach and warm the exposed ground. This extra heat raises the air temperature even more, causing even
17、more snow to melt. This type of rapid exaggeration of impacts is called a “fast feedback.”. 4 Zeebe says its important to look at fast feedbacks. However, he adds, theyre limited. From a climate change perspective. This century is the most important time for the next few generations,” he told Scienc
18、e News. “But the world is not ending in 2100.” For his new study, Zeebe now focuses on “slow feedbacks”. While fast feedback events unfold over decades or centuries, slow feedbacks can take thousands of years. Melting of continental ice sheets and the migration of plant life as they relocate to more
19、 comfortable areas are two examples of slow feedbacks. 5 Zeebe gathered information from previously published studies investigating how such processes played out over thousands of years during past dramatic changes in climate. Then he came up with a forecast for the future that accounts for both slo
20、w and fast feedback processes. Climate forecasts that use only fast feedbacks predict a 4.5 degree Celsius (8.1 degree Fahrenheit) change by the year 3000. But slow feedbacks added another 1.5 C for a 6 total increase, Zeebe reports. He also found that stow feedback events will cause global warming

Rising of sea levels F. Unpredictability of feedback processes 23. Paragraph 2 _A_ 24. Paragraph 3 _D_ 25.
