They looked strange and scaring. I was so frightened that I could do nothing but try to hide behind a tree. The two aliens took out of something like a shovel.

I was so excited when I saw the aliens.BIT is a question that has interested ordinary people and scientists alike –do aliens exist? Some might say yes, while others might say no.Many scientists believe that aliens exist because the universe is so big. They find it hard to believe that humankind could be the only intelligent (有智慧的) life in the universe. Since 1992, scientists have found nearly 1,900 exoplanets (外部行星). These are planets that exist outside our solar system. Among these exoplanets there could be ones similar to Earth. If it’s true, there could be other forms of life on these planets.For years, scientists have carried out many studies and experiments to find signs of alien life. They use radio telescopes (无线电天文望远镜) to search the sky for alien signals. They also send radio messages and signals into deep space. Aliens might not want to get in touch with us but could read our messages and reply, they suggested. However, after years of searching, so far we haven’t gotten any alien mess Why?Some scientists say it is because there are no aliens out there at all! They believe Earth was formed by chance. All the right things came together in the right circumstances (环境) to create life. While there may be planets like Earth, none of them have exactly what it takes for intelligent life to develop. In other words, Earth isa “miracle” that can’t be reproduced.1.How many exoplanets have scientists found since 1992?A.Nearly 1500.B. Nearly 1600C. Nearly 1800D. Nearly 1900.2.Scientists have used many ways to find signs of alien life. Which one is notmentioned in the article?A.They use radio telescopes to search the sky.B.They carry out many studies and experiments.C.They send radio messages and signals into deep space.D.They launch spaceship into space.3.According to some scientists, why haven’t we gotten any alien messages?A.Aliens don’t want to get in touch with us.B.There are no aliens out there at all.C.Aliens are afraid of human beings.D.It is far away from the Earth to exoplanets.4.The article is probably from ______.A.a story bookB. a science magazineC. a newspaperD. a film advertisementCARTHUR C. Clarke’s 2001《2001太空漫游》: A Space Odyssey (1968) starts in a strange way. It starts at the be ginning of human history. Humans don’t even know how to use tools yet. An alien teaches them. At first, people make clubs (棍棒) to kill animals, and then they start to make bigger weapons. Finally, humans have the terrible power of nuclear bombs.The story turns to a spacecraft called Discovery that is on its way to Saturn (土星). A team of spacemen from Earth is on it, including Poole and Bowman. Discovery has an intelligent computer called HAL. HAL tells the spacemen there is a problem with the spacecraft. B ut the spacemen find there’s nothing wrong. Is HAL trying to stop the ship from getting to Saturn?A disaster (灾难) happens and everyone on the spacecraft dies except Bowman. Before HAL dies it tells Bowman it doesn’t want the ship to get to Saturn because Earth has another job for Bowman. He must look into something on Japetus, a moon (卫星) of Saturn, where aliens live.Bowman arrives on the surface of Japetus. He finds aliens, who are the same ones who taught humans before. The aliens start to teach Bowman and want to send him back to help Earth. He then starts an amazing journey through time and space. When Bowman gets back into Earth’s orbit (轨道), he is just in time to stop a nuclear war. The story has a message about human beings and technology. We know how to make weapons, but now we must learn how to make peace.1.. In the novel, an alien teaches humans how to _____.A. use toolsB. make clubsC. kill animalsD. make weapons2. From Paragraph 2, we learn the following EXCEPT _____.A. Discovery is a spacecraftB. Poole and Bowman are spacemenC. HAL is an intelligent computerD. there’s something wrong with the spacecraft3.

It is called the Roswell Incident and it happened in the US in 1947.Person A (name not given): My wife and I were sitting outside because it was a warm night. Suddenly we saw something very bright flying through the sky.Person B (William Brazel, a farmer): I found some pieces of strange metal on my farm. I called the army. Major Marcel came and collected the pieces. He told me not to talk to anyone about this.Person C (Major Marcel): I went and collected the pieces. I gave them to an army expert. He said the pieces came from a weather balloon. However, since I have not seen this kind of metal before, I think this was a lie.Person D (name not given): My parents and I were in the countryside. Suddenly we saw a silver spaceship on the side of the hill. There were the bodies of three aliens lying on the grass. Then some soldiers came and told us to leave.So what is the truth?* Perhaps some or all of the people lied.* Perhaps a US rocket crashed and people thought it had come from space.* Perhaps an alien spaceship really crashed in Roswell.★巩固提升一、阅读下列短文，然后根据其内容回答问题。
