According to a study by Nature on June 23, scientists have found that 1,715 stars could have watched the earth since people were on it. The team looked at 331,312 stars within 326 light-years of the earth. In all those stars, only 1,715 of them could see the earth in the last 5,000 years. And another 319 stars will be also able to see us in the next 5,000 years. “When I look up at the sky, it looks a little bit 4 friendlier because it’s like someone is saying hello.” said Lisa, leader of the institute（研究所） at Cornell University, US and the study’s writer． If there is life on a planet around one of those 1,715 stars, they could easily see that there is life here because of the oxygen（氧气） on the earth. If that didn’t tell them, then the radio waves will also tell them the fact that there is life on the earth． Why haven’t we heard from anyone from out space yet？That’s because it takes a long time for messages to travel between stars. When a message arrived, living things would not be there anymore. This long time gives different life fewer chances to talk with each other. So we should not expect aliens to show up any time soon． 1.How many stars will be able to see us in the next 5,000 years together?( ) A. 319. B. 1,715． C. 2,034． D. 3,123.

And another 319 stars will be also able to see us in the next 5，000 years. 在所有这些星球中, 只有1715颗星球在过去的5000年里能看到地球。在接下来的5000年里，另外319颗星球也能看到我们。”可知在未来的5000年，一共有1715+319＝2034颗星球。故选C。 √ 6 2.What does the underlined word “th
