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 else on the planet,____2____new records for the speed and area of ice melt.We are on track this year to have one of the lowest summer sea ice coverage so far.It is a huge problem,____3____what happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic.What's more, the Greenland ice sheet, which alone____4____enough water to raise global sea lev-els by 6 meters, is____5____.The frozen Arctic soil and sediment, or permafrost, is melting,____6____more and more carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere.This year, vast wildfires in the peatlands of Siberia have blazed for more than a month, and the Arctic warming is____7____havoc with weather systems in the northern hemisphere too.But if you prefer to think simply in terms of money, the eco-nomic____8____of unmitigated Arctic warming by the end of this century was estimated to be $67 trilli-on.Climate____9____in the Arctic might be more necessary than it first appears because the region's death spiral is a feedback loop.As the shiny ice melts, models and satellite images suggest we could get a sea ice-free summer any year now.When the ocean is exposed, instead of reflecting sunlight,the dark water absorbs____10____of the sun's heat.Over the past 30 years, this change corresponds to a warming equivalent to a quarter of all the carbon dioxide released by human activity during that time.

Is There Anybody out There?(A)This 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 religious dogma.He was later burned at the stake during the Inquisition, in part for daring to question Earth's 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 remarkable 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.(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 their 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 finally 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 unknowable 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 bottleneck 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 have 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 with aliens.(G)This calls for optimism, but also caution.After all, if there are millions of alien civilizations out there, then why haven't 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 succinct 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 some, 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 that aliens are out there; we simply haven't communicated with them yet.(I)It isn't 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 absurd as teaching a ladybird to use a telephone.That hasn't 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 reply.(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 Earth's biosphere con-sists of microbes.Single-celled organisms dominated the planet's 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 are it is microbial.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.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 wouldn't be too happy about it, to say the least.It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children conditions which they themselves wouldn't put up with for one minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education.Stuffing children's heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among 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 years 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 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 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 its proper place, But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages.Boys don't grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures-airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings.Girls don't grow up imagining that men are 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 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 coping with many of the problems that face men and women.

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, it's of ten seen as a pre-requisite—the fairy dust a charismatic leader deploys to get things done with a swish, a sprinkle and a smile.As a concept, EQ is still relatively new, especially compared with IQ, having been around for only some 30 years.The term was coined by psychologists Peter Salvoey and John Mayer in 1990,who described it as “a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one 's thinking and action.”Emotional intelligence has a dark side, one that is talked about less of ten but is equally potent.Like a superhero 's superpower.Jochen Menges, assistant professor of organizational behavior at the University of Cambridge, has looked at the dark tactics of EQ while exploring how leaders exert in-fluence.Those with high levels of EQ are brilliant at managing others' emotions to ensure they achieve their own goal, but sometimes they do so with evil intent.A good leader will use EQ to win over other to achieve success and harmony, but a bad one will use it to manipulate and make people's lives a misery.Almost everyone can remember a leader who did the latter, of ten with aplomb-the charming sociopath who was super effective and always got their own way but left a trail of human devastation in their wake.It's not all bad news, however.There is a way to tell the good eggs from the bad apples.It's by looking carefully at what they believe in, their guiding principles.“If we wish to know how someone uses their EQ, we need to measure the value they endorse,” Menges says.Shared beliefis what anchors a leader in their school and their community and makes others follow them.An ethical leader constantly ask themselves and others: are the right things being done for the right reasons? Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, once articulated this eloquently: “We have to be able to look ourselves in the eye and think:did we know what was right there?”We all have choices and some must be made with a heavy heart.Being an ethical leader is tough: the responsibility is great but the rewards can be great still.Stay true to your beliefs and the principles you cherish.Use your superpowers for good, to do the best by those you serve.
