The answer is"no". It isn"t the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a
scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter(木匠).
You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to investigate(调查) ,how to discover information,is
important to everyone. The scientist,however,goes one step further;he must be sure that he has a
reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of
ideas about how the world works.
The scientist"s knowledge must be exact. There"s no room for half right or right just half the time. He
must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different,any changes the scientist
observes in a demonstration(实证) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein,who developed the Theory of Relativity,
amved at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy (正确性) of his mathematics was later tested
through investigation. Einstein"s ideas were proved to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for
measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations (计算) that may test
his investigations.
B. His ways of learning.
C. The way he uses his tools.
D. The various tools he uses.

do 10,20 or 30 years later? Let"s just close our eyes and think !
Genetic Engineering
Cenetic engineering will help us create the perfect human. Babies will grow up to do slam dunks like Yao Ming or look like Cecilia Cheung.
Also,we will be able to mix( 杂交) plants and animals ! But do you want your dog to be a tree?
The Dead
In the future,we will be able to bring the dead back to life. Then each family can meet and talk
with its dead family members. It will be like living with ghosts.
On television people will see Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Confucius, Elvis Presley, and
Shakespeare talking with each other!
Long-Iiving People
Over the next 20 t0 50 years,it will become harder to tell the difference between human and machine. All body parts will be replaceable.We will then be able to make fake (假的) people.
We will make a copy of ourselves,so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. A few
decades later,people will find ways to transfer (转移) their spirit (精神 ) to the new body.
Nanobots
We will be able to build nanobots (纳米机器人) to travel through our body. Also,nanobots will be
used when we are sick.
For example,when we have a stomachache,we will swallow a very small robot and it will travel
through our stomach,taking video of what"s happening there. Then we can show the video to help the doctor diagnose (诊断) our problem.
Computers
Computers help us remember,calculate,and enjoy ourselves. In the future,computers will be able to
show their feelings. They will be able to think better than the human mind.
After television became popular,many people soon became couch potatoes. It is not surprising that
many people have become overweight; and things will get worse in the future !
We will be more and more interested in computers and the Internet,spending more and more time in
front of computers and forget what our real needs are. Many of us will become super couch potatoes
and weight 250kg!
B. The dead can come back to life.
C. All body parts will be replaceable.
D. Computers can think.
B. we can make a copy of ourselves
C. we can create perfect human
D. we can find ways to transfer our spirit
B. people who like eating potatoes
C. people who like sitting in couch
D. people who spend much time watching TV
B. Nanobots.
C. Computers.
D. Potatoes.
used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin,clean my room,stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right
not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for
us. They thought that it was all
right to be parents who took a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We
gave them calculators,tumed on the television,left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years,
are realizing we"ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her
students-" so passive"-and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them. She believes.
Television, says Klompus, contributes to children"s passivity (被动性) . "We"re talking about a
generation of kids who"ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for
them. Instead of saying "go and look it up" ,you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to
a kid. "
Yes,it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It"s time for parents to end their vacation and come
back to work.
It"s time to take the car away,to tum the TV off,to tell them it hurts you more than them but it"s for their own good. It"s time to start telling them no again.
B. when everything can be taught at school
C. when every child can be educated
D. when chldren are permitted to receive education
A. parents should leave their children alone
B. kids should have more activities at school
C. it"s time to be more strict with our kids
D. parents should always set a good example to their kids
eight completely new ones mere founded,and ten other new ones were created 1 converting old
colleges of technology into universities. In the same period the 2 of students more than doubled,from
70,000 to 3 than 200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen 4 twenty-one were
in universities and about 5% of women.
All the universities are private institutions. Each has its 5 goveming councils, 6 some local
businessmen and local politicians as 7 as a few academics (大学教师). The state began to give grants
to them fifty years 8 , and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its 9 from state grants. Students
have t0 10 fees and living costs,but every student may receive from the local authority of the place
11 he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs,including lodging and 12 unless his
parents are 13 . Most 14 take jobs in the summer 15 about six weeks,but they do not normally do
outside 16 during the academic year. The Department of Education takes 17 for the payments
which cover the whole expenditure(费用) of the 18 , but it does not exercise direct control. It can
have an important influence 19 new developments through its power to distribute funds,but it takes the
advice of the University Grants Committee,a body which is mainly 20 of academics.

| Twenty years ago,kids in school had never heard of the Internet. Now, 1 1 you can"t find a single person in your school who hasn"t at least heard of it. In fact,many of us use it on a 2 basis and even have access to it from our homes! The "net" in "intemet" should 3 network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can.be shared,or sent from tree computer to another. The Intemet is a vast 4 for all types of infor- mation. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project,downloading your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is accessed through web pages that companies,organizations and individuals create and post. It"s kind of like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses ! But since anyone can put anything on the Internet,you also have to be careful and use your best 5 and a little common sense. Just because you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board,it doesn"t 6 it"s good information,or even 7 . So you have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they"re talking about, 8 if you"re doing research! But what if you"re just e-mailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you"ve never met the person that you"re communicating with online,you could be on dangerous ground ! You should never give out any 9 information to someone you don"t know,not even your name! And just like you can"t believe the information on every website out there,you can"t rely on what strangers you "meet" on the Intemet tell you either. Just as you could 10 things about yourself to tell someone,someone else could do the same to you! | |||

| Michelle Katz is a health-care saving expert with a master"s degree in nursing,so when her husband Martin had a heart attack right in front of her,she fought to save his life. Then,she fought the errors on his medical bill and saved the couple $ 7,000. Kaze was talking with her husband in June 2008 when she noticed his face tuming gray. "I looked over and I said,Martin,are you OK?""she told Good Morning America. "If I can describe death,that"s kind of what I was seeing. And that"s when I grabbed him. And as I grabbed his hand,it was almost like putting my hand in a vat (桶) of ice cubes.It was that cold. He started stiffening up. " Terrified,Katz immediately gave her husband CPR. "I started pushing down on the compressions (压缩) and was just screaming and saying"Are you OK? Are you still with me ? ""she said. "I just wanted him to know,even if he wasn"t listening,that I was not going to let someone die in my hands. And especially _____ " Later,X-rays showed that Katz had cracked her husband"s ribs (肋骨) with the force of her compressions. After 16 long minutes,an ambulance arrived and took Martin to the emergency room. When hospital took over,Katz,the author of two books about saving money on medical bills,started paying attention. She swore to follow the advice she had given others in Healthcare for Less and 101 Health Insurance Tips. "I knew the dollar signs were going up, " Katz said. "That"s when I started documenting things. "In the days that followed,Katz found errors on the bills that,when correctedlsaved her and her husband $ 7,000. | |||
