Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowdedconditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhereelsE. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life atpresent. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggestedby American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagan believes that before the earthsresources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere ofVenus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is thatVenus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water therE. Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or coldatmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in conditionsimilar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed insmall rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into theatmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide intooxygen and carbon. When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere willbecome cooler; but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for theoxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to landon it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will bereproduced on Venus.In the long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earthwill probably be the lack of.参考答案：BCarl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because.参考答案：cOn Venus there is a lot of.参考答案：BAlgae are plants that can参考答案：c 一Man can land on Venus only when.参考答案：C
