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 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 sizethe 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 planetsthe size of Mars or Earthin 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 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）Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are _ . A . astronomersB . farmersC . singersD . drivers（2）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 .

There were not any powerful telescopes.C . The Milky Way didnt exist at that time.D . The astronomers were not interested in them.（4）Why havens 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.（5）What does the underlined phrase life forms in the last paragraph mean? A . MessagesB . ToolsC . Intelligent beingsD . Radio signals四、 阅读与回答问题。 (共1题；共10分)18. （10分）根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出正确选项。What will the world be like if cars can drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. The passengers in the car neednt worry about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, Tesla, Mercedes-Bens, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota, working on driverless cars. They are now in the testing stages (阶段). If the tests are successful, these self-driving cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself?Modern cars are able to take the place of drivers during certain situations. For example, they can park themselves or slow down when they detect (发现) objects nearby. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous condi-tions, such as snowy roads. Scientists and engineers believe that, with the help of wireless signals (无线),cameras and GPS, creating a safe self-driving car might be possible in ten to twenty years.Self-driving cars may help cut down the number of serious accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous condi-tions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer, White Drake, for example, doesnt believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.（1）The underlined word passengers means in Chinese.
