The world’s largest radio telescope was finished on Sep. 25, 2017 in China.

FAST is a five-hundred-meter telescope. It is also called Tian-yan (“The Eye of Heaven”), with a dish the size of 30 football grounds, deep in the mountains of southwest China’s Guizhou Province. The giant dish is built on a howl-like valley.

The surrounding area has “radio silence” as there are no towns and cities within a 5-kilometer radius (半径范围) and only one county center within 25 kilometers.

FAST is made up of 4, 450 panels (面板). The second largest radio telescope is in Russia. The bigger dish will be able to pick up weaker signals (信号).

The radio telescope is like an ear, listening to tell meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe. With the help of the telescope, we can receive weaker and more radio messages far away in space. It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the Galaxy (银河系) and explore the origins (起源) of the universe. “Any of its discoveries will lead to a Nobel Prize, ” said Joseph Taylor, a Noble Prize winner.

The FAST project began in 2011. And the telescope is expected to remain the global leader for the next 10 to 20 years.

5. Where was FAST developed?

A. In China.     B. In Russia    C. In America.     D. In India.

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none — that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (画布)— the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.

Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1, 800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.

Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed — All he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙子) and most importantly, his lively imagination!

Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, looking for perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world’s largest freelance (自由职业的) drawing, was created in the desert sand of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it!  However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain, wash his paintings away.

Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2015. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand — he is also an excellent chef and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

9. What do we know about Denevan?

A. He used to be a chef.

B. He has a talent for creating sand art.

C. He puts his work on show regularly.

D. He showed artistic talents at a very young age.

10. It can be learnt from the passage that ______.  

A. Denevan walks a lot to complete his work

B. it is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand to draw on

C. it usually takes long for the storm to destroy Denevan’s work

D. Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools.

11. Which of the following can best describe Denevan?

A. Generous.      B. Kind-hearted.    C. Imaginative.     D. Traditional.

12. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Denevan loses his interest in art soon.

B. Denevan is also popular as a chef.

C. Being a happy chef is Denevan’s final goal in life.

D. Denevan’s fame helps him with his chef job.
