For years, scientists said“no,”or“we dont know.”But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers（天文学家）. They believe intelligent life exists（存在）somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings（人；生物）.Why do Shostak and Barnet 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 Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge.“Tools like the Hubble Telescope（哈勃望远镜）have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,”says Shostak.“And our galaxy, the Milky 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（高倍望远镜）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.“Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as radio signals（信号）. In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we dont 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.”( )46. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are . A. astronomersB. farmersC. singersD. drivers( )47. What is the best title for Paragraph 2? A. The Age and Size of EarthB. Our Galaxy: The Milky WayC. Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life( )48. 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 Milky Way didnt exist at that time.( )49. Why havent beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? A. Theyre afraid of us.B. Its a long way away.C. They dont want to see us.D. They dont know how to use radio signals.( )50. What does the underlined phrase“life forms”in the last paragraph mean? A. Messages.B. Tools.C.

The Dominican Republic makes up the eastern two-thirds.The Dominican Republics area is about 18,000 square miles with the population of 8 million. Most people live close to the islands coast.

It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but remain less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows:Learn about the World and YourselfAlthough you dont have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.Face Challenges and Have FunA gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isnt always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.Save Money and Improve Your College Admission ChancesTheres a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but its not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.Imagine an admission officer trying to admit（录取）only one between two students. Both of them are excellent and have high grades. However, one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation. Who do you think the admission officer will choose?( )62.
