    13．Most schools in America do not have the latest equipment in laboratories．It is just too costly．But the eastern state of Maryland and8 non-profit group found a way to make such equipment available during the school year．They put it on a bus!
        The 13-meter-long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science．It travels around the state visiting schools．It has everything from biology to forensic science（法医学）．The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than 10 years，
    "It is really nice to get the students in here with hands-on activities．They get really excited and want to be engaged．"said Ms．Mangus，who is in charge of the program．She said that many students finished their experiments and left the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist．
        At the end of each class，Ms．Mangus talked to the students about how she became a scientist．"If we have enough time，we like to take five，ten minutes and talk about us，ourselves．I tell them how I got into science，maybe where I went to school，what I did，and the different kinds of things we could do．"
        Brian Gaines，the chief executive officer of the foundation supporting the BioLab program，said the organization's goal was to help create the next generation of scientists．"We use this program to talk about careers in science-not only science，but science，technology，engineering and math．Students on the bus get real-life experience they do not get in a classroom．"

    点评 1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题，同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章，学习科普知识，积累常见的科普词汇，从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力．
    2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点．科普类文章一般由标题（Head line），导语（Introduction），背景（Back ground），主体（Main body）和结尾（End）五部分构成．标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括，但根据历年的高考情况来看，这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题，而要同学们选择标题．导语一般位于整篇文章的首段．背景交待一个事实的起因．主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，同学们要把这部分作为重点．结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题．　　
    3、在进行推理判断时，同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据，同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识．

    3．Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good．This may be because，in their opinion，black is related to darkness and white to purity．However，that is not always the case．Did you know that the same one color may mean something differently in different places of the world？
    In the English-speak ing world，black is the color of mourning-people wear black at the funeral．Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed（伤亡）．Yellow is the word for fear．If you are afraid，you are yellow．Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world．In China and Korea white is the color of mourning．In Russia，China and some other countries，red stands for beauty，life and excellence．In Italy and Germany，you are yellow with anger，not with fear．
    Even within the English-speaking area，it is not difficult to find color contradictions（矛盾）．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station．In Britain，however，a redcap is a military policeman．Both names are logical，because both men wear red caps．Similarly，the British term for an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker．
    One does not have to cross an area to find color differences．Would you rather be red-blooded or a blue-blooded？If we go back to the origin，we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest．The expression"blueblood"comes from Spain，where some noble families proudly told the world that they had"blue blood"．Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood．But then why"blue"blood？Because they were fair-skinned，and it is only natural that their blood vessels （血管）stood out appearing blue．
    56．Yellow is concerned with anger inD
    A．India                        B．Britain
    C．China                        D．Italy 
    57．Both Britain and America would probably agree thatB
    A．a redcap is a porter in a station
    B．black is the color of mourning
    C．red stands for beauty and excellence
    D．a black-coated worker is employed in an office
    58．In Britain，a redcap is aD         
    A．porter   B．nobleman    C．clerk    D．military policeman
