D Scientists say they discovered an earthlike pla orbiting the star closest to our pla other than the sun. It is the closest pla ever found outside our solar system that could support life as we know it. This pla is just light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have pared it to a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spacecraft before the end of the century. The newlydiscovered pla is a little larger than the earth. Scientists have named it Proxima b. It orbits its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11days. Alan Boss is the Chairman of NASA’s advisory group for pla exploration. He told VOA that Proxima b not only confirms the discovery of a pla, but also increases the number of other possible “earths” by a huge amount. Boss said it is possible that most stars may have at least one earthlike pla orbiting them. This makes the possibility of living anisms increasingly likely. Boss said he believes human beings will prove that there is life in places other than the earth in his lifetime. “I am 65, ”he told VOA, “But I expect to still be alive when it happens.” Paul Butler works at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. He told VOA that finding Proxima b “makes the case concrete” that there are other plas where life could exist. Paul Butler said the researchers used two telescopes in different countries to look for possible plas like the earth. Discovering Proxima b, he believes, changes the world. “This work has resulted in the discovery of hundreds of plas around the nearest stars, and now a potentially habitable pla around the nearest star is in the sky, ” Butler said. 32. Which of the following does the newlydiscovered pla move around? A. The earth. B. The sun. C. Proxima Centauri. D. Proxima b. 33. What view do both Alen Ross and Poul Rutle ”bold? A. It is most likely that life exists on other plas besides the earth B. Proxime b can be used to help people find more earth like plas. C. There is at least one earthlike plane orbiting each star.. D. Discovering Proxims b will change the world, 34. What does the underlined per “This work” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Exploring another sun. B. Discovering Proxima b. C. Researching life on other plas D. Using telescopes to find earth like plas 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. Potentially Habitable Plas B. Pla Exploration in the Universe C. Stars with Earth like Plas Orbiting D.
