planets similar to ours, that orbits stars like our sun Since there are about 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone, that means there are a huge number of planets like ours that could sustain life Planets with advanced civilizations are likely to be widely scattered throughout the universe In the past four decades, humans on Earth have begun to search for these civilizations This search is called SETI, the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, and it has been conducted largely by searching for radio waves emitted from civilizations on other planets In 1960, Dr Frank Drake made the first attempt at SETI, by conducting a radio search using an 85-foot antenna of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia This search, called Project Ozma, observed two stars about 12 light years away Since that time, more than 60 searches have been conducted by dozens of astronomers in at least eightcountries All searches, thus far, have faced many limitations: they used equipment that lacked sensitivity, they did not search frequently, they covered little of the sky, or they could search for only a few types of signals or in a few directions The searches did turn up signals of unknown origin, but data collected in these searches were often processed long after the observation In order to be sure that a signal is from another civilization, ithas to be independently verified and shown to originate from a point beyond the solar system Later searches for the unknown signals turned up nothing Project Phoenix, the latest SETI, is more comprehensive than any of those previous experiments and proves to overcome all these problems Project Phoenix uses the world’s largest antennas This allows it to scrutinizethe regions around 1,000 nearby Sun-like stars, and immediately test candidate signals It is important that Project Phoenix continue to be upgraded, because radio interference from Earth sources is growing, and may soon interfere with our ability to detect possible extra-terrestrial signals In order to overcome this growing interference, ever better antenna systems are beingdeveloped Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? A.Possible explanation for radio signals of unknownorigin B.Efforts to search for signals from extra-terrestrialcivilizations C.The life stories of scientists involved inSETI D.The origin of life on otherplanets Question 37: What is TRUE about Project Ozma? A.It used the space station’s 85-footantenna B.It lasted only 12years C.It was conducted by a group of astronomers from eightcountries D.It was the firstSETI Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that a major limitation of earlier searches for alien radio signals was _ A.the difficulty of obtaining governmentfunding B.the limited number of signals that might beextra-terrestrial C.the slowness of the verificationprocess D.the lack of scientific interest in thistopic Question39: The word “it” in paragraph refersto _ A.search B.signal C.civilization D.datum Question40: Which of the following would NOT distinguish Project Phoenix from previous SETI experiments? A It useslarger antennas B It tests candidate signalsquickly C It iscomprehensive D It covers little of thesky Question41: The word “scrutinize” in paragraph could be bestreplacedby _ A.process B.establish C.examine D.orbit Question42: Which of the following may be Project Phoenix’s limitation? A.Its inaccurate detection caused by radio interference from Earthsources B.Its equipment’s lack ofsensitivity C.Its infrequentsearches D.Its limited searchdirections Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50 In today's world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinction, and the number of species at risk increases every year Not all plants or animals existing in small numbers are endangered as their population may not be decreasing or threatened An endangered species is one which is expected to die out within twenty years unless special measures are taken to protect it Endangered animals include blue whales, giant pandas, orangutans, rhinoceroses, snow leopards, tigers and some species of crocodile Endangered plants include some species of cactus Why are the above species of animals endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all species are protected by law Even when animals are legally protected, illegal hunting for fur, tusks and horns continues Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold as pets For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in such numbers for private bird collections that it is almost extinct in the wild In addition to this, many species' habitats are eliminated when people clear land in order to build on it, or when they introduce domestic and nonnative animals which overgraze the vegetation and even preyon birds and mammals which are already at risk of extinction Why is it important to save endangered species? Firstly, nature is delicately balanced, and the extinction of one species may have a serious effect on others Secondly, it is the fault of mankind that so many species are endangered, so it is our responsibility to protect those species while we still can We must stop the hunting of wild animals and the destruction of the forests before it is too late It is worth making an effort- by saving endangered species we could be saving ourselves Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss? A Species extinction: causes and conservation efforts B Species diversity has its positive and negative aspects C Man's responsibility to protect endangered species D Blue whales are in danger of extinction Question 44 The word "it" refers to A an endangered plant B the little blue macaw C a bird collection D an endangered animal Question 45 The word “die out” can be best replaced by A be threatened B reproduce C vanish forever D reappear Question 46 The word “prey” can be best replaced by A harm B victim C control D feed Question 47 The author uses the blue macaw as an example of A a species of birds killed by hunters B birds captured for zoos C birds captured for the pet trade D a species that has completely died out Question 48 Endangered animals A cannot be saved because we need to save ourselves B have a bad effect on others C are an important part of the world's wildlife D will definitely die out soon Question 49: Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as a threat to species A Illegal hunting for parts of their bodies B Being captured as pets or in zoos C Introducing domestic and non-native animals to their habitat D Establishing wildlife habit reserves Question 50 The tone of the author of this passage can be described as A concerned B neutral C curious D indifferent _THE END _ KEYS A C A C A C D A C 10 D 11 D 12 A 13 A 14 B 15 A 16 B 17 D 18 B 19 D 20 B 21 B 22 A 23 B 24 C 25 D 26 B 27 B 28 C 29 D 30 C 31 B 32 C 33 B 34 C 35 A 36 B 37 D 38 C 39 B 40 D 41 C 42 A 43 A 44 B 45 C 46 D 47 C 48 C 49 D 50 A ... individuals remaining in the wild Since 1990, as a result of their 'Plant Extinction Prevention Program', sixteen species have been brought into cultivation and three species have been reintroduced...
