For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice an

18、d mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Throughout the nations more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can

19、 be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster (平淡旳) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the n

20、ew analysis, “no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.” The reason, he said, “is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed.”The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data

21、collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school districts curricula, its textb

22、ooks, or its teachers activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an in

23、ch deep,” Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, I

24、celand, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems “share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎旳) visions” but which are not economic leaders.The new report “couldnt come at a better time,” says Gerald Wheeler, executive director

25、of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. “The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision,” including the call “to do less, but in greater depth.”Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree,

26、 because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards “face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellect

27、ually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble (嘈杂声).”21. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America is _.A) losing its vitality graduallyB) characterized by its diversityC) going downhill in recent yearsD) focused on tapping students potential22. The funda

28、mental flaw of American school education is that _.A) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjectsB) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersC) it sets a very low academic standard for studentsD) it lacks a coordinated national program23. By saying that the

29、 U.S. educational environment is “a mile wide and an inch deep” (Line 2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice _.A) scratches the surface of a wide range of topicsB) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityC) encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD) offers an environm

30、ent for comprehensive education24. The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they will _.A) solve most of the problems in school teachingB) provide depth to school science educationC) quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceD) be able to meet the demands of the community25

31、. Putting the new science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because _.A) many schoolteachers challenge the acceptability of these standardsB) there is always controversy in educational circlesC) not enough educators have realized the necessity for doing soD) school districts are

32、responsible for making their own decisionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on

33、successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years,” as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same aft

34、ernoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故旳) woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadnt insisted

35、on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. Its my fault that shes dead.”When things dont turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story

36、 would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, postponing the operationwould have turned out better. After all, how c

37、ould it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connectio

38、ns both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault.

39、 The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He

40、cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.26. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natura

41、l life.B) They died due to lack of care by family members.C) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.D) They werent accustomed to the change in weather.27. The author had to conduct the two womens funerals probably because _.A) he had great sympathy for the deceasedB) he wanted to console

42、the two familiesC) he was priest of the local churchD) he was an official from the community28. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _.A) they believe that they were responsibleB) they had neglected the natural course of eventsC) they couldnt find a better way to express the

43、ir griefD) they didnt know things often turn out in the opposite direction29. In the context of the passage, “. the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that _.A) we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldB) everything in the world is predeterminedC) theres an explanation

44、 for everything in the worldD) the world can be interpreted in different ways30. People have been made to believe since infancy that _.A) every story should have a happy endingB) their wishes are the cause of everything that happensC) life and death is an unsolved mysteryD) everybody is at their com

45、mandPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.“Ive never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “Its a stupid endeavor.” Thats an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollar

46、s trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this springor perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproductive system of mans best friend i

47、s one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusins experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dogs eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missys DN

48、A. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕旳) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when youre dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.Even so, dog cl

49、oning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusins phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,”

50、 says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missys mysterious billionaire owner; hes put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&Ms research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missys fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athlet

51、ic, good-natured and supersmart. Missys master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missys owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a

52、great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs, nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they surv

53、ive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems “Why would you ever want to clone humans,Westhusin asks, “when were not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”31. By “stupid endeavor” (Line 2, Para. 1),

54、Westhusin means to say that _.A) human cloning is a foolish undertakingB) animal cloning is absolutely impracticalC) human cloning should be done selectivelyD) animal cloning is not worth the effort at all32. What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusins dog cloning project?A) Its success i

55、s already in sight.B) It is doomed to utter failure.C) It is progressing smoothly.D) Its outcome remains uncertain.33. By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to _.A) examine the reproductive system of the dog speciesB) find out the differences between Missy and its clonesC) search for ways to modify

56、.its temperamentD) study the possibility of cloning humans34. We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have _.A) an abnormal shapeB) a bad temperC) defective organsD) immune deficiency35. It can be seen that present cloning techniques _.A) provide insight into the question of natur

57、e vs, nurtureB) have been widely used in saving endangered speciesC) have proved quite adequate for the cloning of humansD) still have a long way to go before reaching maturityPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Frustrated with delays in Sacramento, Bay Area officials s

58、aid Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the regions growing pile of electronic trash.A San Jose councilwoman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to ac

59、t on two bills stalled in the Assembly. They are among a growing number of California cities and counties that have expressed the same intention.Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling

60、those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from California landfills (垃圾填埋场).Le

61、gislation by Senator Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode (阴极) ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycli

62、ng programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A separate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.If passed, the measures woul

63、d put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of

64、-state retailers.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware theyre not supposed to throw computers in the trash,” said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added.Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isnt cont
