The telescopes were partly made possible by a gift of twentyfive million dollars from Paul Allen. The total cost of the project is already fifty million dollars. At present，there are 42 radio telescopes working at Hat Creek Observatory. The signals they receive are combined to create what is equal to a single，very large telescope. The telescope will be used to observe objects like exploding stars，black holes and other objects that are predicted but have not yet been observed. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute says this is the first telescope whose main purpose is to search for signals from intelligent life in space. The SETI Institute is based in Mountain View，California. The organization supports the search for other life forms in the universe. What makes the Allen Telescope Array unusual is that it can collect and study information from a wide area of the sky. In addition，the 42 telescopes can study information about several projects at the same time. That means studies of large areas of the sky can be made faster than ever before. Some officials think the Allen Telescope Array will be completed in three more years. 350 individual radio telescopes are planned. The new abilities of the Allen Telescope Array will make searching for stars similar to the sun much faster. An earlier search by SETI，Project Phoenix，studied about 800 stars to a distance of 240 light years. The project ended in 2004. With the Allen Telescope Array，astronomers hope to gather thousands of times more information in the search for life beyond our planet. 1From this passage we know that _. Athe 42 radio telescopes at Hat Creek Observatory can work togetherBthe total cost of the project came from Paul AllenCHat Creek Observatory can receive signals from all parts of the worldDHat Creek Observatory is operated by an American named Paul Allen2Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage？AThe Allen Telescope Array takes much more room than former telescopes. BThe Allen Telescope Array is still being built at present in the United States. CAnother 42 radio telescopes will be fixed in the Allen Telescope Array. DThe SETI Institute is against the search for other life forms in the universe. 3With the help of the Allen Telescope Array，_. Aastronomers can gather more information than before from other planetsBhumans will have more chances to live on other planets than beforeChumans will be able to find more natural resources on other planetsDscientists will be able to find more natural resources from other planets4What would be the best title of the text？AThe Specialty of the Allen Telescope ArrayBNew Telescopes to Search for Life Beyond EarthCLife in the UniverseDThe Centre for the Study of Life in the UniverseBThroughout their history，Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the new world. Once they arrived，they settled along the east coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later，settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration，Americans eventually occupied the whole continentfrom the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today，Americans seem unable to stay in one place. Research says that the average American moves every five years. Besides their habit of changing addresses，Americans are used to traveling. Some people make longdistance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees，and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on lowbudget weekend excursions and stay in economic motels(汽车旅馆)Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles(RVs)to camp out in comfort，while others “rough it” by sleeping in tents. Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why？For one thing，its cheaper than traveling abroad，and theres no language problem. But besides that，the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches，mountains，canyons，lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways，railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie. Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more “family friendly” vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History buffs(爱好者)seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer “green vacations”These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna(动植物群) upclose without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea sails relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing，skiing or whitewater rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris(旅行)in remote places from Af
