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 .

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 .

No notebooks, no textbooks, no test papers. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A “Paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to realize. Students dont do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every students personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject theyre studying, from maths to social science.A high school teacher, Judy Herrel in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web. “Using a book thats three or four years old is impossible,” she said.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.“Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.But, with all this technology, theres always a risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or a technical problem, paper textbooks should still be widely available (可得到的) for these students.（1）The underlined word “critical” in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as _.A . worryingB . dangerousC . happyD . important（2）You are sure to find _ in a paperless classroom.A . pensB . computersC . test papersD . notebooks（3）According to Judy Herrel, _.A . the Web can talk the students everywhereB . the Web can take the place of teachersC . the Web is a better tool for informationD . the Web is for downloading information（4）The paper textbooks should still be widely available because _.A . students wont have trouble with their pensB . computers may break down sometimesC . students may not get all information from the InternetD . paper textbooks may give students more information15. （10分）阅读理解One day a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn,t know how she was going to make it.

Finally, the rich aroma from the coffee brought a smile to her face.“Father, what does this mean?”She asked.He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity the boiling water.However, each one reacted differently.The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water.
