23、A radio signal detected by an Australian telescope in 2019, which seemed to be coming from the star closest to the Sun, was not from aliens, researchers report today in two papers in Nature Astronomy.
“It is human-made radio interference (干扰) from some technology, probably on the surface of the Earth,” says Sofia Sheikh, an astronomer at the University of Berkeley. But the signal, detected by Breakthrough Listen — an organization in search of aliens — looked interesting enough at first that it sent astronomers on a nearly year-long research to understand its origins.
“It’s really valuable for us to have these experiences,” says Jason Wright, the leader astronomer of the organization. “We need these signals so we can learn how we will deal with them — how to prove they are alien or human-made.”
Since 2016, Breakthrough Listen has used telescopes around the world to listen for possible broadcasts from alien civilizations. The program has picked up millions of signals of unknown origin, nearly all of which could be classified as coming from radio interference on Earth, from sources such as mobile-phone towers or aircraft radar.
The 2019 signal was different. It was detected by the radio telescope in southeastern Australia and came from the direction of Proxima Centauri — the nearest star to the Sun. Proxima Centauri is of great interest to alien researchers not just because it is nearby. The star has at least two planets, one of which orbits at the right distance for liquid water to be on its surface. Breakthrough Listen even plans to send a tiny spacecraft to this planet in the future to look for life there.
In November 2020, and in January and April this year, the researchers pointed telescope at Proxima Centauri to see if they could pick up the signal again. They could not. Instead, the team spotted other “look alike signals”. These signals had been proved out by the team’s analysis as being earthly interference. Further analysis showed that these signals were all interference from an unknown source, maybe electronic equipment that got shut down or fixed
The Universe gives us a “haystack (干草堆)”, says Sofia Sheikh. “It is our need to find the needle in it, and make sure that it is actually a needle that we found.”
【1】Who devoted much efforts to the research of the 2019 signal?
A．Some scientists in southeastern Australia.
B．An astronomer at the University of Berkeley
C．The leader astronomer of Nature Astronomy.
D．An alien research organization Breakthrough Listen.
【2】How did they find out the truth?
A．They sent a spacecraft to Proxima Centauri.
B．They confirmed the origin of similar signals.
C．They got signals from the same direction again.
D．They found some dead electronic equipment.
【3】What did Sheikh want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．It's very hard to direct an alien signal.
B．There are too many unknown signals.
C．There are very few needles in universe.
D．They should give up the research of aliens.
【4】Which is the best title for the text?
A．Alien research moved a step forward
B．Signals from aliens were picked up
C．Signals interfered Astronomy research
D．Mysterious alien beacon was false alarm
24、 Every night, unemployed men gather in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. Many of them are homeless. All of them are hungry. At around 9∶30, Munoz’s truck arrives, filled with hot food. For many years, Munoz and his family have been feeding those in need seven nights a week, 365 days a year.
Munoz was born in Colombia and his father died in an accident when he was young. When his mother found it difficult to support the family, she came to New York, finding work as a nurse. As immigrants, they often suffered starvation. Later, he found a job as a bus driver.
Munoz began his meal program “An Angel in Queens” in the summer of 2009. At first，Munoz prepared 20 homecooked meals daily. Numbers have gradually increased over the years. Now he serves 140 meals a night. Munoz gets up around 5∶00 a. m. to drive his bus route. When he gets home around 5∶30 p. m.—often stopping to pick up food donations—he helps pack up meals before heading out to “his corner” in Jackson Heights. He never fails to come. “If I don’t go, I’m going to feel bad,” he says. “I know they’re going to be waiting for me.”
Munoz says that the food costs about $400 to $450 a week; he and his family are funding the operation through their savings.
Asked why he spends so much time helping people, he says, “When I see these guys on the street, it’s like seeing me 20 years ago when I came to this city. Now I have a stable job, my mom, my family, a house...But these guys don’t. I hope they can at least have a meal to eat.”
