    语篇理解

    　　In American high schools most students take English, science, maths, and history. These are basic courses, and each course is as useful as the others.

    　　In English class, the students study grammar and read famous literature. In science class, they study biology, chemistry or physics. History is more interesting to some students because they learn about important events and places in the United States. Students take other courses, too. These are electives. Some of them are music and computer science.

    　　Students don't have to take all these courses. Some study music because they feel it is more enjoyable. Some study computer science because they think it is more practical. In each class, teachers give students exams. Some exams are more difficult than others, but a good student can always do well.

    　　Physics is a different world now． Will there ever be another Einstein?

    　　Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time． After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival(对手) ,Isaac Newton．

    　　Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is only a baby now． That's because the searching for a unified (统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits． New math must be created before the problem can be solved

    　　But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon．

    　　For one thing, physics is quite a different field today． In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians．

    　　Education is different, too． One extremely important aspect of Einstein's training that failed to consider is the philosophy he read as a teenager． It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time．

    　　And he was a skilled musician． The interplay between music and math is well known． Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem．

    　　Today, universities have produced millions of physicists． There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts．

    　　Besides, those who stay in science don't work alone． It's very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this．

    (1)

    Which of the following best explains why the next Einstein hasn't been born yet?

    [　　]

    A．

    Education today doesn't pay enough attention to philosophy teaching．

    B．

    It isn't known who will be another Einstein among newly-born babies．

    C．

    Math today is limited and cannot help the further development of physics．

    D．

    There were more physicists in Einstein's time than today．

    (2)

    One of the reasons that made Einstein a great scientist is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the lack of physicists in his day

    B．

    the philosophy he read in his teens

    C．

    learning from Isaac Newton

    D．

    not going to work at Wall Street

    (3)

    The underlined word "knotty" here probably means ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    interesting and useful

    B．

    important and meaningful

    C．

    realistic and hard

    D．

    difficult and puzzling

    (4)

    From Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 6,how many reasons does the writer give for why another Einstein hasn't appeared?

    [　　]

    A．

    One．

    B．

    Two．

    C．

    Three．

    D．

    Four．

    Bruce Alberts, the former President of the National Academies (USA), has now taken over as Editor-in Chief of Science. Judging by his editorial in this week’s issue Considering Science Education there could be some interesting times ahead in Science offices.
    Here’s part of what Bruce has to say about science education…
    I consider science education to be critically important to both science and the world, and I shall frequently deal with this topic on this page. Let’s start with a big-picture view. Science has greatly advanced our understanding of the natural world and has enabled the creation of countless medicines and useful devices. It has also led to behaviors that have improved lives. The public appreciates these practical benefits of science, and science and scientists are generally respected, even by those who are not familiar with how science works or what exactly it has discovered.
    But society may less appreciate the advantage of having everyone acquire the ways of thinking and behaving that are central to practice of successful science: scientific habits of mind. These habits include a critical attitude toward established claims and a strong desire for logic and evidence. As famous astronomer Carl Sagan put it, science is our best detector (检测器). Individuals and societies clearly need a means to logically test the constant clever attempts to operate our purchasing and political decisions. They also need to challenge what is unreasonable, including the intolerance that led to so many regional and global conflicts.
    So how does this relate of science education? Might it be possible to encourage, across the world, scientific habits of mind, so as to create more rational (理性的) societies everywhere? In principle, a strong expansion of science education could provide the world with such an opportunity, but only if scientists, educators, and policy-makers redefine (重新定义) the goals of science education, beginning with college-level teaching. Rather than only conveying what science has discovered about the natural world, as is done now in most countries, we should provide first all students with the knowledge and practice of how to think like a scientist.
    【小题1】 Which of the following is NOT included in the “scientific habits of mind”?

    A．A critical attitude toward established claims.B．A strong desire for logic.
    C．A clever and active mind.D．A strong desire for evidence.
    【小题2】 What does the underlined phrase “such an opportunity” refer to in the last paragraph?
    A．To create more rational societies everywhere.
    B．To relate decision-making to science education.
    C．To encourage science education around the world.
    D．To set right goals of science education.
    【小题3】In Bruce Alberts’ opinion, which is the most important in science education?
    A．Offering all students enough practice to drill their mind.
    B．Equipping all students with a thinking model of a scientist.
    C．Telling students what science has discovered about the natural world.
    D．Advising all students to challenge all established scientific achievements.
    【小题4】Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Bruce Alberts, a great science educator
    B．Science education and world peace
    C．The government and science education
    D．Bruce Alberts’ opinion on science education
