In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory course about 20 years ago.

The professor the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans, and invited the students to how many beans the jar contained. After shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile，announced the answer, and went on saying, “You have just an important lesson about science. That is: “Never your own senses”

Twenty years later, the could guess what the professor had in mind．He himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting into all unknown world invisible to the , which can be discovered only through scientific . But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even the invitation. She was just to understand the world. And she that her firsthand experience could be the . The professor, however, said that it was . He was taking away her only for knowing and was providing her with no substitute(替代). “I remember feeling small and ,” the woman says, “and I did the only thing I could do, I the course that afternoon，and I haven’t gone near science since. ”

【解析】本文主要講述了一位女士對(duì)大約20年前第一次接觸自然科學(xué)課程的經(jīng)歷。在那堂課上，教授告訴學(xué)生不要相信自己的感官。這深深地刺痛了當(dāng)年只有17歲的她，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為自己正開(kāi)始了解世界，感官是她唯一依賴的工具，而教授卻把它拿走了。這使她很害怕，當(dāng)天下午就放棄了這門課程，至今也沒(méi)再走近科學(xué)。

5. Ready準(zhǔn)備好了的；B. possible 可能的；C. correct 正確的；D. Difficult錯(cuò)誤的。由于之前學(xué)生猜的數(shù)字都不對(duì)，所以這里教授宣布了正確答案。故選C

A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.

As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.

It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction(分心) to the runners, who started a moment later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw(鏈球) competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).

Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether that’s true or the hyperbole (夸張的語(yǔ)句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.

Police took the man into custody(監(jiān)護(hù)). He will appear in court on Monday morning.

Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I don’t know who would have done that,” Bolt said.

Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didn’t know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when you’re in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”

1.How many exact athletes are mentioned in the text?

A. Two B. Four C. Seven D. Eleven

2.What is the text mainly about?

A. Usain Bolt along with seven other competitors

B. A female Dutch judoka sitting behind the starting area.

C. The lane belonging to Yohan Blake before 100 final.

D. A beer bottle thrown at Usain Bolt before 100 final.

3.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the athletes for the 100-meter final?

A. Critical B. Doubtful

C. Disapproving D. Positive

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.

Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections, whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影響) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.

1.What can we conclude from the recent study?

A. People think highly of science.

B. People hold mixed opinions about science.

C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.

D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.

2.According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?

A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.

B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.

C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.

D. People will work more actively to put science under control.

3.The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_______

A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomes

B. the ties between different areas need strengthening

C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science

D. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.

B. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.

C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.

D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.

In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland．Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it．Polish kids have now outscored（超過(guò)……分?jǐn)?shù)） American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does．One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind．

That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint．This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities．This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment（PISA） results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan．Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers．

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it．And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too．She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D．C．, which costs thirty thousand dollars a year．The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws（暇疵）．When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted．When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned．“Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?” One of the ironies（諷刺） of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible．American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expection are high．It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing．

1.Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______．

A．there are striking differences between the 2 countries

B．Polish kids are better at learning

C．he intends to improve his scores

D．sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

2.According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______．

A．little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

B．too much importance is placed on sports in America

C．American high schools complain about sports time

D．PISA plays a very important role in America

3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______．

A．American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

B．high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

C．lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

D．low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

4.The purpose of this article is to _______．

A．draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

B．call on American schools to learn from the Polish model

C．compare Polish schools with those in America

D．explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions
