【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 nts love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feel ing” , and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to municate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. 28. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should . A. analyze it by oneself B. discuss it with others C. practise reading it aloud D. copy it down in a notebook 29. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students . A. to enjoy poetry B. to bee poets C. to bee teachers D. to understand life 30. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject. B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry. C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses. D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry. 31. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by . A. provide equipment B. build a school C. set up a house D. leave a certain amount of time D NASA, the U. S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’ re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim is to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe. The search for intelligent life on other plas isn’t new. It began almost 100 years ago. That’s when scientists built a huge transmitter (發(fā)射機(jī) ) to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart intelligent beings on other plas might pick up the signals. Scientists have also sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座 ). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn’t reach the earth for 50,000 years! So don’t wait up for an answer. So far, no extraterrestrial (境外的 ) beings that we know of have returned our “calls”. But according to Dr Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.” Last October, Dr Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes and others around the world will pick up radio signals from a new world. Dr Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels e in loud and clear. Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “l(fā)istening” to 14 million channels every second. That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing. But that’s not all. Powerful puters hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The puters try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognise, such as humanmade signals. If they can’t , Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr Tarter. “And that would mean we’re not alone.” 32. NASA scientists started a new project in order to . A. send human beings into space B. confirm the number of galaxies C. discover life in other galaxies D. find evidence of a new galaxy 33. Dr Jill Tarter pares the new large receiver to . A. the universe B. a huge dish C. the human ear D. a metal bowl 34. According to Dr Frank Drake, NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are . A. moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels B. picking up radio signals from new world C. trying to check on every channel carefully D. scanning the universe for possible signals 35. The best title for this passage is . A. The Invention of New Radio Receivers B. NASA listens for Neighbours in
