Though NASA can’t say for sure whether the planet is rocky like ours or has water and air, it's the closest match yet found.

The planet, Kepler-452b, is about 60% bigger than Earth, NASA says, and is located in its star's habitable zone, where life-sustaining liquid water is possible on the surface of a planet.

A visitor there would experience gravity about twice that of Earth's, and scientists say the possibility of it having a rocky surface are 'better than ever'. While it's a bit farther from its star than Earth is from the sun, its star is brighter, so the planet receives about the same amount of energy from its star as Earth does from the sun.

Kepler researcher Jeff Jenkins said, 'The planet almost certainly has an atmosphere, although scientists can't say what it's made of. But if the assumptions are correct, kepler-452b's atmosphere may be thicker than Earth's. '

It takes 385 days for the planet to orbit its star. 'Because it has spent so long orbiting in this zone—6 billion years—it's had plenty of time to brew life,' Jenkins said.

'That's an opportunity for life to arise, if all the necessary ingredients and conditions for life exist on this planet, ' he said in a statement.

Kepler-452b is too far away for humans to visit. But the discovery of this new Earth-like planet can tell us a lot about what’s possible for the future of space travel. 'The next step in the process is to do follow-up missions to find planets similar to kepler-452b, but much closer to Earth, ' said Peter Coughlin, a Kepler research scientist. 'We could do a lot more research into those planets, and even start to think about visiting one day. '

【1】The researchers are sure that Kepler-452b ________．

A.is larger than EarthB.has an atmosphere

C.has air and waterD.has many rocks

【2】What is the similarity between Kepler-452b and the Earth?

A.They are both located in the sun's habitable zone．

B.Their distances from the sun are almost the same．

C.Their atmospheres are made of the same compositions．

D.They get almost the same amount of energy from their stars.．

【3】The underlined word 'brew' in paragraph 6 most probably means ________.

A.improveB.endanger

C.produceD.protect

【4】What should be the best title for the text?

The bicycle is still popular. In some countries, people use bicycles because they are the cheapest way to getting around. In some another countries, people use them mainly because they prefer this form of transport than any other.

It is said that when a German inventor created the first bicycle in 1816. It was two-wheeled and moved along by push of the rider's feet upon the ground. This vehicle was improving in 1839 by a Scottish blacksmith, which invented pedals(踏板). Eventually, bicycles are also made specially for women. They had big rear wheels than front wheels, and riders could sit more upright. Nowadays, women’s bicycles have changed again to become more usefully to those involved in sports.
