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 them. 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 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 the 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 the earth-in other solar systems, these planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited the earth? Probably not, says Shostak. Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, 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. （1）What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A . The age and size of the earth.B . Something about the Milky Way.C . The reasons why intelligent life might exist.D . The earth is the only planet with intelligent life.（2）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.（3）Why havent beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak? A . Because theyre afraid of us.B . Because its long way away.C . Because they dont want to see us.D . Because they dont know how to use radio signals.（4）What does the underlined phrase life forms in the last paragraph mean? A . Messages.B . Tools.C . Radio signals.D . Intelligent beings.13. （10分）阅读短文，下列问题Light and shadow（影子） are friends.They usually go together. We receive light every day. At the same time, we produce shadow.Light cannot shine through you.
