Задача

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Юлия Ваулина, Джунни Дули 11 класс, Просвещение: 4 Listen and read the text again. Math the underlined words/phrases in the text to their meanings below, then explain the words in bold. • at a particular time • on purpose • absolutely sure • accept • draw attention to the fact • small amount • wait doing nothing • taken away a start, even if these ‘alien civilisations’ do exist, they might not be technologically advanced enough to communicate over long distances. I Also, with a hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone, and a billion possible radio channels to choose from, it might take a very long time for us to tune in to ET! So, why don’t we send our own messages instead? I Even if the nearest civilisation was as close as 500 light-years2 away, we would have to sit around for 1000 years waiting for a reply! All the same, in 1974, we did broadcast a radio message containing basic information about the human race. I if there is intelligent life there, we will hear from them around the year 52,000! So, how do you fancy joining in the search for intelligent life yourself? Well, the ‘SETI@home’ project allows you to do exactly that. After downloading a clever screensaver, your computer will analyse unknown or unusual signals from radio telescopes whenever you are not using it. I So far, however, ET is not ‘phoning home’! So where do we go from here? Well, despite the fact that we have not yet found a shred of convincing evidence that alien life exists, one thing is for sure — the search will go on! But perhaps we’re forgetting one important thing. I Only time, perhaps thousands of years, will tell! *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
