38、er Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST, 500米口径球面射电望远镜), Chinas mega-science (大科学) project and the worlds largest single-dish radio telescope.On April 28, FAST, nicknamed “Chinas Eye of Heaven”,embarked onits search for extraterrestrial intelligence (ET, 外星生物).As the news went viral (走红) on social net

39、working sites, someone commented saying: “Do not answer! Do not answer! Do not Answer!”It seems that The Three-Body Problem (三体), a science fiction novel by Chinese author Liu Cixin, has influenced minds so deeply that people are worried about the possibility of the Earth being invaded (入侵) by an ad

40、vanced extraterrestrial civilization.That worry is, at least for now, unnecessary.

What do Paragraphs 5-6 want to tell us?A. What makes a planet suitable for intelligent life.B. People tend to worry much more than they nee

46、d to.C. Extraterrestrial life forms will not threaten life on Earth.D. There is a slight possibility that an extraterrestrial civilization exists.31.

47、radio telescope works.D. Chinas advanced technology in astronomy.
