You can find it on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and trash cans(垃圾桶) from Tokyo to Paris, from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries(画廊) are collecting the works of street artists.Street art started out very secretly because it was criminal to paint public and private things without permission(允许).People often have different opinions about street art. Some think it is a crime and others think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.Art experts say that the street art movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults painted words and other images on walls and trains. This colorful style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to be against society. They didnt want to accept rules and travelled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see. In many cases, they had trouble with the police and the local government.One well-known New York street artist is Swoon. She cuts paper images of people and puts them on walls or sets them up on sidewalks. Swoon didnt start her career as a street artist. She studied art, but as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries. People in New York enjoy Swoons strong and imaginative style. Some museums have already bought some of her works.Advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the feelings of youth and energy.In Todays world the Internet has a big influence on street art. Artists can show their pictures to the audience all over the world. Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live.The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city.（1）What can we learn from Paragraph1?A .

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 sill 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 . Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life（3）Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A . There were not any smaller planetsB . There were not any powerful telescopesC . The astronomers were not interested in themD . The Milky Way didnt exist at that time,（4）Why havent 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 usD . They dont know how to use radio signals.（5）What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean?A .
