At that range, the telescope should be sensitive enough to pick up a transmitter about as powerful as a mobile phone after just a few secondsworth of observations. Will it find anything? Almost certainly not. Oumuamua has the same reddi

6、sh color as many as asteroids, so probably has a similar composition. And, if it really is a spaceship, it is strange that signs of its artificial origin have not been seen already. It could, in theory, be a derelict(遗弃星球). But in that case the telescope is unlikely to hear anything. By far the most

7、 likely option is that it is exactly what it seems to be: a huge space rock, one that has come to the solar system from the vast space between the stars. 【文章大意】本文是一篇科普类的文章。Oumuamua的形状让一些科学家认为它可能是外星飞船, 按照这篇文章来说它最有可能是A space rock, 但是Oumuamua的真实身份还有待发现。1.

Its real identity remains to be found out. C. Astronomers have not seen signs of its artificial origin. D. The Green Bank tele

12、scope has already heard something from it. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句Will it find anything? Almost certainly not. Oumuamua has the same reddish color as many as asteroids, so probably has a similar composition信息可知, Oumuamua 与其他很多小行星一样是微红色, 所以可能与小行星有同样的组成部分, 但目前科学家们认为它像太空飞船, 综合来看, Oumuamua的真实身份还有待发现。【知
