Ⅰ. 阅读理解 （23-24高一下·河北沧州·阶段练习）Fans of Star Wars might remember Luke Skywalker’s home planet. Called Tatooine, the planet orbits two stars. A new study suggests similar planets might be the best focus in the search for places that can host life outside our solar system. Many suns come in pairs called binary stars. Lots of these should have planets orbiting them. That means there could be more planets orbiting around binary stars than around lone stars like our sun. But until now, no one had a clear idea about whether those planets could host life. New computer models suggest that in many cases planets like Tatooine could be fit for life. The researchers ran computer models of binary stars arranged in thousands of ways. Each had an Earthlike planet orbiting the two stars. The team modeled different sizes and shapes of the stars’ orbit around each other. They then tracked the movement of the planets for up to a billion years of simulated (模拟) time. That showed whether the planets would stay in orbit over timescales that might develop conditions to start life. They also checked to see if the planets stayed in a habitable zone. That’s the region around a star where an orbiting planet’s temperatures are never extremely hot or cold, and water could stay liquid (液态). “An atmosphere and oceans could make a great difference,” says Mariah MacDonald, who took part in the new modeling work. Plentiful air and water could change the picture. Adding atmospheres to the modeled planets should increase the number of stars that could host life. She hopes to build more advanced models in coming months. “Models of planets orbiting binary stars could guide future efforts to look for them with telescopes,” says Jason Wright, who studies the physics of stars at Pennsylvania State University. “This is an under-explored population of planets. There’s no reason why we can’t go after them,” he says. “And it might be worthwhile to try.” 1. Why does the author mention Tatooine in Star Wars A. To attract movie lovers. B. To introduce the topic. C. To remember an old friend. D. To present a newfound planet. 2. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us about the modeling work A. Its preparation. B. Its application. C. Its process. D. Its finding. 3. What does Mariah MacDonald hope to do A. Improve the study. B. Lead a peaceful life. C. Start another project. D. Travel into outer space. 4. What is Jason Wright’s attitude towards the models A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Concerned. D. Uncaring.
