Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet.”可知，大部分行星都不能維持生命，因?yàn)樗麄円措x太陽太近，要么離太陽太遠(yuǎn)，要么與地球大小和重量不一樣，而且適當(dāng)?shù)臈l件也并不一定意味著生命確實(shí)。 （3）考查推理判斷。這就排除了雙星，或突然爆發(fā)的恒星。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。文章中沒有提到生命的進(jìn)化需要太陽系。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。因此，我們有理由猜測，其他恒星，以及它們自己的行星，都是以與我們太陽系相同的方式誕生的。 they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out. Finally, life could evolve(進(jìn)化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away. a larger one would hold too much of it. As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist. 3．閱讀理解 可知本文的目的是“檢查和評估”，故選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say. ”有人可以訓(xùn)練自己對重要的事情付出格外的注意力──就像警察學(xué)習(xí)掃描人群的面孔，以及樂團(tuán)指揮可以在整個(gè)樂團(tuán)中聽到每件樂器的聲音。故選D。t focusing on.”可知，D項(xiàng)A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.“一個(gè)行人因低頭族而發(fā)生車禍。（3）考查推理判斷?？芍?，我們在生理上無法同時(shí)處理多項(xiàng)任務(wù)。根據(jù)第三段中的“These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren39。可知，在到達(dá)更高的大腦之前，聲音已經(jīng)被整理出來了，故選D。（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。D.argue and discussB.pare and contrastD.Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C.A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.D.We survive distractions in life by multitasking.C.We are biologically incapable of multitasking.D.All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C.Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.
