参考解析
解析：本篇文章只在第二段第一句表明，近来一次机械故障使开普勒太空望远镜不再为我们服务，并没有提到开普勒太空望远镜为我们服务了多少年。
第二段最后一句表明，开普勒太空望远镜主要寻找与地球有相似环境的星球。
第三段第二句表明，可让生命存在的星球的直径至少与地球的直径一样大，但不会超过地球直径的两倍。由此可推测出其不会比地球小，因此题干表述错误。
第三段第三、四句表明，适合生命存在的星球必须与它所环绕的恒星有一个合适的距离，以保证星球表面的温度允许液态水存在，而地球正是适合人类居住的星球，而且地球是绕着太阳运行的。
第四段第一句表明，这项新评估源于对超过4.2万颗星球的分析，而非源于对17万颗星球的分析。
第五段第一句表明，研究者承认这项评估是粗糙的，即不精确的。
文章第一段指出，这次的调查结果是新的发现，但通篇文章并未提到这是对可能有生命存在的星球的首次研究。
