题目列表(包括答案和解析)

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 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 (反对), 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 a fuels sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.
In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and 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 (影响) 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 united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.
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.
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.
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
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.
篇章结构
阅读下面的文章,请将标有A~F的段落插入文章中标号为(1)~(5)的合适位置,使这篇文章意义完整,结构连贯(其中有一个段落是多余的).
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few-for example, the average among students is about 6 per person.
(1)
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions.
(2)
We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. (3)
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs and the same opinions and interests-they often talk about“being on the same wavelength”.The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another.They want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. (4)
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. (5)
A.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term“friendship”.In all cases, two people like each other and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.
B.Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion.Imagine going on a long trip with some one you occasionally meet for a drink!
C.As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence.Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
D.The sharing of close secrets, including our fears as well as our dark dreams, is the surest way to deepen friendships.But the process must be gone through slowly and continued only if there are signs of interest and our efforts are answered.
E.A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness maybe wrongly understood as unfriendliness.People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.
F.But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
