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 to communicate with or find us. Astronomers from Cornell University in the USA combined two existing theories about the possibility of life existing on other planets to form a new equation. One of these theories is the Fermi Paradox described by physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. This states that while billions of Earth-like planets exist in our galaxy, not one has made contact with Earth yet. The other is the mediocrity principle, which suggests that because there is life on Earth, 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 from aliens yet, as space is a big place, but that doesn’t mean no one is out there.” According to Solomonides, extraterrestrials could have received signals from Earth. However, he proposes that ET would not have been able to decipher them. He said they would need to decode the light waves into sounds and analyze 3,000 human languages to understand any messages. He said that signals from Earth have only reached about 8,500 stars and that the Milky Way galaxy alone contains 200 billion stars. He added, “If we stop listening or looking, we may miss the signals. So we should keep looking.”
【題組】46 According to the passage, what might be preventing extraterrestrials from approaching Earth any time soon?
(A) The difficulty in deciphering human languages.
(B) The long histories of 200 billion stars.
(C) The similarity among human and alien species.
(D) The number of planets in the Milky Way galaxy.

17(B).

【題組】47 According to the passage, which of the following hypotheses is made by scientists from Cornell University?
(A) The mediocrity principle rules out the possibility of life forms on other planets.
(B) Aliens from Earth-like planets might use light waves to communicate.
(C) Extraterrestrials from 8,500 planets might have translated signals from Earth.
(D) Aliens might need to interpret about 3,000 languages to understand Earth.

18(B).

【題組】48 According to the passage, what does the word “paradox” in the Fermi Paradox imply?
(A) An observation based on coherent evidence.
(B) A theory based on contradictory statements.
(C) A conclusion based on extraterrestrial correspondences.
(D) A hypothesis based on mediocre calculations.

19(B).

【題組】49 What could be the central message of the passage?
(A) Still more attempts need to be made to reach out to other planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
(B) Cornell astronomers might propose new forms of communication in our galaxy.
