2、为人们所熟知。其中，唐代最著名的诗人是李白和杜甫。李白生性无拘无束，才华横溢，他创作了大量赞美祖国大好河山的诗篇。杜甫年轻时坎坷的生活经历，使他更好地了解了社会的黑暗和人民的困苦。最流行的唐诗作品集或许是由清朝的学者孙洙编著的唐诗三百首(300 Tang Poems)。唐诗一直在影响着世界文学和现代诗歌。提交答案共享题干题Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.The Arctic is in a death spiral.The top of our world is_1_up faster than anywhere els

12、s is the biggest question in the universe: are we alone? Philosophers have debated the ques-tion for millennium.When 16th-century Italian astronomer and Dominican friar Giordano Bruno declared that the cosmos contained “an infinity of worlds of the same kind as our own”, he was directly contravening

13、 religious dogma.He was later burned at the stake during the Inquisition, in part for daring to question Earths unique status.(B)The debate continues,in more restrained fashion, to this day.For some, the sheer size of the uni-verse makes it unlikely that life formed only once.For others, the remarka

14、ble complexity of life on Earth is testament to its uniqueness.(C)Until recently, vague philosophical answers of this kind were the best science could do.The signs of life were far too ambiguous to pin down for certain, and our nearest potentially habitable worlds were too small and distant to test.

15、(D)But for the first time in human history we are reaching the technological sophistication needed to provide a genuine answer.Powerful telescopes are letting us study planets in other solar systems,giving us a glimpse into their atmospheres and a flavour of what type of life might be living on thei

16、r surfaces.At the same time, improved analysis of our own planet is allowing what life might look like from afar, and is helping us to distinguish the signs of a flourishing alien civilization from the mere geological rumblings of a lifeless world.With these tools at our disposal, answers are finall

17、y within our grasp.(E)To understand my optimism, it is worth revisiting the work of astronomer Frank Drake.In 1961,Drake devised a formula to estimate how many advanced civilizations were capable of signaling their presence in the Milky Way.His eponymous equation depends on breaking down that big un

18、knowable quantity into a number of more tractable ones that can be multiplied together, such as the number of stars in the galaxy and the fraction of those likely to have planets.(F)Even with pessimistic values, the existence of millions of technological civilizations seems likely.The main bottlenec

19、k on that apparent explosion of life, however, is in Drake s final term:the av-erage lifetime of a communicating civilization.Humans have been broadcasting radio signals that escape into space for only about a century, and, in the current geopolitical climate, who is to say how many more years we ha

20、ve left.If you take the pessimistic assumption that intelligent life de-stroys itself rather quickly, the Drake equation suggests that statistically we are alone in the galaxy.If intelligent civilizations survive for millions, or even billions of years, however, then the Milky Way should be teenung

21、with aliens.(G)This calls for optimism, but also caution.After all, if there are millions of alien civilizations out there, then why havent we seen signs of them akeady? This seeming contradiction is sometimes called the Fermi paradox, afier Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who gave it its most succi

22、nct ex-pression.With a back-of-the-envelope calculation, he showed that a single space-faring civiliza-tion could easily colonize a galaxy within a hundred million years.Because the universe is 13.8 billion years old, and no interstellar colonists have yet appeared on our horizon.(H)Perhaps, say som

23、e, the aliens are already here, just keeping their identities secret.Perhaps they are deliberately steering clear of Earth, treating it as a sort of cosmic heritage site that deserves their protection.Or alternatively, there are simply no aliens out there.As an astrobiologist, I pre-fer to believe t

24、hat aliens are out there; we simply havent communicated with them yet.(I)It isnt hard to imagine why this could be the case.Alien civilizations might well be millions of years ahead of us in their technological advancement.Trying to communicate with them using our primitive technology would be as ab

25、surd as teaching a ladybird to use a telephone.That hasnt stopped us trying, of course, whether by including artifacts, such as plaques etched with celestial maps and images of humans, on our long-distance spacecraft or by broadcasting target-ed radio messages into the depths of space.So far, no rep

26、ly.(J)All hope is not lost.The Fermi paradox and Drake equation specifically deal with the question of intelligent life, with the ability to communicate, travel and colonize.But only a fraction of the life we know of would be capable of these feats.Today, the vast majority of Earths biosphere con-si

27、sts of microbes.Single-celled organisms dominated the planets surface for nearly 3 billion years before multicellular life began.What is more, microbial cells not only outnumber human cells on our planet, they even outnumber them on and in your body.If life exists elsewhere in the universe, chances

33、sage.Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex, how would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldnt be too happy about it, to say the least.It is all the more surprising therefore that so

34、many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children conditions which they themselves wouldnt put up with for one minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education.Stuffing childrens heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost amon

35、g them.One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society.Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society afier yea

36、rs of segregation can only be in for a shock.A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature.Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live to gather from their earliest years.They are put in a position where they

37、 can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life.What a practical advantage it is (to give just a small example)to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken

38、 by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa.When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart.Rivalry between the sexes is fostered.In a coeducational school, everything falls into i

39、ts proper place, But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages.Boys dont grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures-airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings.Girls dont grow up imagining that men a

40、re romantic heroes.Years of living together at school dispel illusions of this kind.There are no goddesses with freckles, pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers, There are no romantic heroes with knobbly knees, dirty fingernails and unkempt hair.The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp

41、 focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up.These can better be overcome in a co-educational environment.When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to enter society as well-adjusted adults.They have already had years of experience in cop

43、position in society.D.It is for students to get academic achievements.单选题22.What does co-education offer to children?A.A society.B.A true small model of society.C.A real life.D.True version of social condition.单选题23.Which ofthe following is true about co-education or segregated education?A.One pract

44、ical advantage of co-education is that boys and girls take on the role of male and female respectively.B.Boys and girls receiving co-education are not equally clever.C.Segregated education is not easy to foster hostility between genders.D.Co-education makes boy curious at girls.单选题24.Why do boys and

45、 girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?A.They live together and know each other too well.B.Years of living together at school dismiss such illusion.C.Co-education encourages them to have a healthy attitude toward life.D.They are familiar with each others problems.单选题25.What is the

46、main idea of this passage?A.Only co-education can be in harmony with society.B.People are in great need of co-education.C.Any form of education other than co-education is simply unthinkable.D.Co-education has many features.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the foUowing passage.Emotional Intelligence is always thought of as a good thing.We lament a lack ofit and praise an abundance.of course, everyone has it to some degree, but with leaders, its of ten seen as a pre-requisitethe fairy dust a ch
