Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “We don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnet. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望遠(yuǎn)鏡)have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milk Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望遠(yuǎn)鏡) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signs. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”
1.Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are _______________.
A. astronomers. B. farmers C. singers D. drivers
2.What is the best title for Paragraph Two?
A. The Age and Size of Earth
B. Our Galaxy: The Milk Way
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist
D. Earth: The Only Planet With Intelligent Life
3.Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?
A. There were not any smaller planets.
B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them.
D. The Milk Way didn’t exist at that time.
4.Why haven’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?
A. They are afraid of us.
B. It’s a long way away.
C. They don’t want to see us.
D. They don’t know how to use radio signs.
5.What does the underlined phrase “l(fā)ife forms” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Messages. B. Tools.
C. Intelligent beings. D. Radio signs.

閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
Up in the Sky
Take a trip up a hill on a windy day. What is flying high in the sky? It isn’t a bird or a plane. It is a kite!
Kids and adults like flying kites. Long ago, the first kites were made by Chinese people. Then, people around the world began flying kites.
One story tells a man’s hat got lifted off by wind. He had fun chasing(追趕) his hat, so he did it again! His hat became the first kite. Other stories tell that people liked watching leaves on windy days. They tied leaves to strings(線) and watched them fly.
Long ago, kites became important in keeping China protected. A man might be lifted up by a kite while he spied(監(jiān)視) on an enemy. He could use the kite to fly high like a plane. He could also fight from the air!
Kites come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. They are usually made of cloth or paper. A kite might be shaped like a bird, a fish, or just a box. Kites are also painted with colors.
You can use a kite to catch fish. First you tie a fishing line to a kite. Then you put bait(魚餌) on the line. You watch the kite with hopes as it flies over the water. When you pull the kite down, you might find a fish on your line! Some people think this is more fun than using a fishing pole(桿).
Many countries have special days to honor kites. People make, sell and fly many types of kites. There are several kite festivals in China. The Beijing International Kite Festival is usually held in April every year. People spend all days flying kites. You might see famous fighter kites. People fly these kites quite fast and try to cut other flyer’s lines.
There is much to learn about kites. From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!
1.Do kids and adults like flying kites?
2.What did people tie to strings and watched them fly?
3.What are kites usually made of?
4.When is the Beijing International Kite Festival usually held?
5.What have people used kites to do?
