telescope to do astronomicalobservations.FAST is short for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope.Its construction wascompleted in September 2016 and it officially began operating in January 2020.Measuring 500meters in diameter.FAST is the largest radio telescope in the world,surpassing the 305-metertelescope of the U.S.Arecibo Observatory.FAST is also believed to be the worlds most sensitivesingle-dish radio telescope,and is 10 times more sensitive than the 100-meter Radio TelescopeEffelsberg in Germany.The major scientific task of the telescope is the observation of pulsars（脉冲星）.The study ofpulsars can help to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation（弓|力辐射）and blackholes,and help solve many other major questions in physics.Another major scientific goal ofFAST is to search for life outside the Earth.The telescope is located in a naturally deep and round karst depression（喀斯特洼）insouthwest Chinas Guizhou Province.The first advantage of the selected site is the altitude.Theaverage altitude of Guizhou is about 1,100 meters.Generally,the higher the altitude,the more itcan observe.Secondly,the radio telescope needs to have a big pan to receive a better signal.Thehuge natural depression could reduce the difficulty of construction.Moreover,the selected site inGuizhou is far away from cities,and has a small population density,which reduces theinterference caused by wireless devices such as TVs,mobile phones and radios from humanactivities.So far,FAST has identified over 300 pulsars.Experts predict that the number could reach 1,000 in five years and that the telescope could locate and identify the first pulsar outside thegalaxy.(1)Who can use FAST?_A.Chinese scientists.B.Scientists from all countries.C.Soldiers and policemen.D.A11

FAST.B.Guizhou Province has the highest altitude in China.C.People in Guizhou use TVs and mobile phones less.D.FAST is built in a pan-shape place to keep people out.(5)What do scientists think FAST
