But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks thats the first step in understanding what they are saying.Dr. Elliotts program would compare an alien language to a database (数据库)of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure. Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be harder to use, he told New Scientist magazine.Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr. Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr. Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientist would then be able to see if tis similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.However, Dr. Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.（1）Why did Dr. Elliott come up with the program? A . To learn more about outer space.B . To develop a new language.C . To help translate the messages for aliens.D . To compare an alien language to human languages.（2）According to Dr. Elliott, whats the first step of understanding an alien language? A . Coming up with a program.B . Knowing a structure.C . Understanding aliens.D . Discovering aliens.（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A . Some necessary conditions for making the program work.B . Dr. Elliotts findings about different kinds of languages.C . Three important functions of the program.D . The number of sentence structures of human languages.（4）How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens? A . Mix the message with 60 human languages.B . Translate the message and send it to the database.C . Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.D . Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.（5）What can we infer from the story? A . Not all languages have their own structure.B . The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.C . To translate alien languages, there is much work to do.D . Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.19. （6分）阅读理解Today more and more cars go into families. Which car is the best for people?
