Marley understood that part of th

11、e reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this toothats why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (16941778) can give us some help. According to him, tol

12、erance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others follythat is the first law of nature.”Nobodys perfect. When were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.Very often, people dont realize

13、that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a l

14、ittle about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.But it seems wron

15、g that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the r

16、eason we should be tolerant.Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves wil

17、l wash it away.”1、According to Voltaire, tolerance is _.Abeing willing to express your love to othersBtrying to overcome your imperfectionsCgiving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)Daccepting each others weaknesses2、Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?AThey

18、are used to finding faults.BThey consider tolerance a kind of frailty.CThey dont see things from the angle of others.DThey are intolerant of themselves too.3、In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?AHumans are advised to treat others better.BHumans learned to find faults in others.CHuma

21、portant plants on Earth.Flowering plants, or angiosperms, make up about 90% of all living plant species. In the distant past, they outpaced (超过) plants such as conifers and fems (针叶植物和蕨类植物)，but how they did this has been a mystery. New research suggests it is due to genome (基因组) size.Hundreds of mil

22、lions of years ago, the Earth was dominated (支配) by ferns and conifers. Then, about 150 million years ago, the first flowering plants appeared on the scene. They quickly spread to all parts of the world, changing the landscape from muted green to a variety of colours.Why angiosperms were successful

23、and diverse on Earth has been debated for centuries. Charles Darwin himself called it a“mystery”, fearing this apparent sudden leap might challenge his theory of evolution.Kevin Simonin from San Francisco State University in California, US and other researchers wondered if the size of the plants gen

24、etic materialor genomemight be important. They analysed data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants including conifers) and fems. They then compared genome size with anatomical (结构上的) features.This

25、provides “strong evidence”, that the success and rapid spread of flowering plants around he world is due to “genome downsizing.”By shrinking the size of the genome, which is contained within the nucleus of the cell, plants can build smaller cells. In tum, this allows greater carbon dioxide uptake (摄

26、入)and carbon gain from photosynthesis, the process by which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.The researchers say genomedownsizing happened only in the angiosperms, and his was “a necessary condition for rapid growth rates among land plants”.1、What do you

27、 know about angiosperms?AThey are dominant plants on Earth.BThey are rare plants in South Africa.CThey are topical plants in South Asia.DThey are extinct plants in the world.2、It can be inferred that .ACharles Darwin was confident of his theory of evolutionBKevin Simonin is probably an American biol

30、fing the Internet on a regular basis, but she couldnt find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, If I had my own website, Id make it a really interesting site for teenagers.Consequently, when Ashley was sixteen, she started her own website called GooseHead. She had no ide

31、a how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lived in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called

32、The GooseHead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section calledAll About Ashley, where Ashley tell readers what its like to be the boss of a company when you re only sixteennot always easy!In her book, Ashley talks about the problems that

33、teenagers have today plus the importance of friendship. She also focuses on being independent. Learn to love your friends but not rely on them. I did that by creating GooseHead on my own.Ashley says that The GooseHead Guide to Life is not a book of teenage advice.It isnt a book thats going to tell y

34、ou what to do. I hope you can work that out yourself, she says.I just want to provide a little inspiration to teenagers. Maybe after reading my story, youll start your own website! But perhaps you ve got a better idea? Well, if I were you, Id just do it, whatever it is. Maybe it wont workbut maybe i

The demands of his major, he said seriously, meant he needed to t

38、ake “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important.The students conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education. In a time of dizzying technological achievement and of rapid sci

39、entific innovation, sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle, the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction.Actually, I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course. I would have started by reminding him that, for much

40、of Americas history, college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy, literature, political theory and history. The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it means to be alive and the definition of j

41、ustice. Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the universitys function in society.I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market. It is true that many employers are looking for graduates with specialized technical skills, but

42、they also look for other capabilities. As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm. All these skills are developed in humanities courses.Furth

43、er, I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs, it is not the only route. Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, who are among the many tech businesspersons with degrees in the humanities, an

44、d who credit that training for their success.Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs, recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace, experiencing low rates of unemployment and reporting high levels of job satisf

45、action. The ratio between average median(中位数) incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business, engineering, and health and medical sciences degrees has been shown to narrow over the course of a career.The case for the humanities can also be understood in less transactional terms and mo

46、re as a foundational preparation for a life well lived. A humanities education plays a vital role in encouraging citizens to lead an examined life. It fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, empathy and tolerance, the usefulness of which only becomes more apparent as one navigates lifes challeng

47、es.By all means, students should take courses they think practical and follow their interests, but if they also make a point of studying the literature of the Renaissance, or researching into modern poetry, or even taking introductory philosophy, we will all benefit.1、What do the students conversati

48、on show?AStudents feel employment difficult.BStudents think philosophy less important.CStudents find scientific innovation amazing.DStudents consider university courses unsatisfying.2、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AHighly valued.BEqually applied.CStrictly assessed.DGreat
