56、解析28.B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ A study of Venuss atmosphere shows a type of gas called phosphine， which on Earth can be produced by certain microbes.”可知，新的研究发现，金星大气中含有磷化氢，而地球上的某些微生物可以产生这种物质，由此推断，金星上可能存在这样的微生物，所以磷化氢或许可以证明金星上有生命29.D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ the scientists have now released their data in the hope that othe
