lenough.答案：C。解析：第一段中提到該系統(tǒng)包括可能有像地球一樣的巖石行星，但"theywouldbetoosmallforeventhemostpowerfultelescopestospot"，因此答案應該選擇C。8.Accordingtothearticle,whichofthefollowingdiseasesisNOTassociatedwithairpollution?A.BonefracturesB.CardiovasculardiseaseC.ReducedbonemineraldensityD.Cancer答案：沒有符合題目要求的選項。根據(jù)文章可知，空氣污染會對人體健康產(chǎn)生不良影響，包括骨折、心血管病、骨密度下降等，還會增加患癌癥等疾病的風險，因此選項均與文中內(nèi)容相符，并無不符合要求的選項?！救闹鹁鋵φ辗g】天文學家已經(jīng)找到了一種方法，通過阻擋恒星發(fā)出的強光來探測可能圍繞附近恒星運行的行星。Astronomershavefoundawaytodetectplanetsthatmightbeorbitingnearbystarsbyblockingoutthebrightlightfromthestar.然后，它們可以探測到行星輻射的熱量，從而更容易在黑暗中發(fā)現(xiàn)它們是發(fā)光的球體。Theycanthendetectheatbeingradiatedbyplanets,makingiteasiertospotthemasglowingorbsinthedarkness.最近，天文學家成功地捕捉到了兩顆繞著一顆300光年遠的類太陽恒星運行的系外行星，這是第一次有人捕捉到這樣的圖像。Recently,astronomerssuccessfullycapturedtwoexoplanetsorbitingasun-likestarabout300light-yearsaway,markingthefirsttimeanyonehascapturedsuchanimage.雖然另一個太陽系看起來很舒適，但這些行星與它們的恒星之間的距離比土星和木星與太陽之間的距離要遠幾百倍。Whilethisothersolarsystemlookscozy,theplanetsareafewhundredtimesfartherfromtheirstarthanSaturnandJupiterarefromourownsun.行星系統(tǒng)可能包括像地球這樣的巖石行星，但它們太小了，即使是最強大的望遠鏡也無法發(fā)現(xiàn)。TheplanetarysystemmightincluderockyplanetslikeEarth,buttheywouldbetoosmallforeventhemostpowerfultelescopestospot.這一發(fā)現(xiàn)意義重大，因為發(fā)光的恒星為探測周圍的行星制造了障礙，這就是為什么科學家們使用特殊儀器來阻擋來自這些天體的光。Thisdiscoveryissignificantbecauseluminousstarscreateanobstacletodetectingplanetsaroundthem,which
