(D)In short請依下文回答第46 題至第50 題：Scientists say it could take at least 1,500 years before humans make contact with species of aliens, or for them tocommunicate with or find us. Astronomers from Cornell University in the USA combined two existing theories aboutthe possibility of life existing on other planets to form a new equation. One of these theories is the Fermi Paradoxdescribed by physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. This states that while billions of Earth-like planets exist in our galaxy, notone has made contact with Earth yet. The other is the mediocrity principle, which suggests that because there is life onEarth, it will typically exist on Earth-like planets throughout the universe.Study author Evan Solomonides will soon present a research paper on his theory. He said, “We haven’t heard fromaliens yet, as space is a big place, but that doesn’t mean no one is out there.” According to Solomonides, extraterrestrialscould have received signals from Earth. However, he proposes that ET would not have been able to decipher them. Hesaid they would need to decode the light waves into sounds and analyze 3,000 human languages to understand anymessages. He said that signals from Earth have only reached about 8,500 stars and that the Milky Way galaxy alonecontains 200 billion stars. He added, “If we stop listening or looking, we may miss the signals. So we should keeplooking.”✕ 你選的
