三、阅读单选
Are you curious of looking up at the stars and wondering if there's intelligent life out there So is FAST, China's mega-science(大科学)project and the world's largest single-dish radio telescope. On April 28, FAST, nicknamed "China's Eye of Heaven", began its search for extraterrestrial intelligence(ET, 外星生物).
As the news spread on social network, someone says. "Do not answer! Do not answer! Do not answer!" The same sentences come from The Three-Body Problem, a science fiction novel by Chinese author Liu Cixin. It has influenced people's minds so deeply that people are worried about the possibility of the Earth being attacked by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization(外星文明)as the plot of this novel.
That worry is, at least for now, unnecessary. Of the 1,800 planets that have been discovered, less than 20 can support life, and the nearest among them, Gliese 581, is 20.4 light-years away.
According to Robin Hanson' Great Filter theory, there is less than a one in a million chance of any extraterrestrial life form developing to higher intelligence or a civilization. And since their distance from China could even be millions or billions of light-years away, if they travel at the speed of light, it would take them at least millions of years to reach us.
However, that does not mean FAST's job is meaningless. As mankind's most sensitive(敏感的)radio telescope, FAST can best collect signals from the universe. Researchers can distinguish(区分)even a 4 Hz difference in the signals received, meaning it can best distinguish between manmade and ET-made signals. Even the signals from a non-ET civilization are useful, because they might contain some hidden information leading to the discovery of new stars or planets.
With FAST joining the cause, mankind can search the universe more deeply than ever before and increase knowledge about the universe. And whatever it achieves is the best evidence of China's advanced technology in astronomy(天文学)and the study of the universe.
31.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.China's Eve of Heaven B.The Three-Body Problem.
C.The intelligent life. D.China's mega-science project
32.Why does someone say "Do not answer!" when he sees the news
A.Because he likes science fiction very much
B.Because he knows nothing about FAST.
C.Because he worries about being attacked by ETs.
D.Because he thinks FAST's job is meaningless.
33.What does Paragraph 3 want to tell us
A.What makes a planet suitable for intelligent life.
B.People should worry much more about extraterrestrial civilization.
C.There is no chance of any extraterrestrial life form developing to higher intelligence or a civilization
D.There is little possibility that extraterrestrial life forms will threaten life on Earth.
34.What can we know about FAST
A.It is China's mega-science project to find the Three. Body civilization.
B.It wasn't built until April 28
C.It is the mankind's most sensitive single-dish radio telescope
D.It increases the possibility of the Earth being attacked by ETs.
35.What is the best title of this passage
A.The importance of FAST's job B.The study of the universe
C.The problems of FAST D.China's advanced technology
