Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are bad on the following passage.
For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another ries of scientific experiments. Three hundred years ems a long time for testing a new approach to human inter-living, long enough to t back for critical appraisal of the
scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument11.
Voices have been raid in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the 19th century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets on the issue of nuclear energy. “Give it back," say some of the voices,” It doesn't really work, we've tried it and it doesn’t work. Go back three hundred years and start again on something el less chancy for the race of man.”
The principal discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimps of the depth of our ignorance of nature. Things that ud to em clear and rational, and matters of absolute certainty — Newtonian mechanics, for example — have slipped through our fingers; and we are left with a new t of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, and ambiguities.Some of the laws of physics are amended every few years; some are canceled outright; some undergo revid versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.12
Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was expod to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while,
things emed simple and clear: the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reasmbling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts who functions are beyond today’s imagining.13
It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic rearch are continued, is much more than the conquest of human dia or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the a.14 As we learn more about fundamental process of living things in general we will learn more about ourlves.
11. What CANNOT be inferred from the first paragraph?
A) Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.
B) For three hundred years there have been people holding a hostile attitude toward science.
C) Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously（无异议地，全体一致地）.
D) Some people think three hundred years is not long enough to t back for critical appraisal of scientific method.

Passage Two英语程度
Questions 16 to 20 are bad on the following passage.
Our culture has caud most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we u are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person to one's side in the Philippines, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to onelf is a
sign of farewell.
Tho private citizens who nt packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and
学习肚皮舞marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that "Gift" means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourlves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come clor and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.
Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and language of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.16,20
Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four language on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourlves have difficulty understanding them.
When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by tho natives — usually the richer — who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.
For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.17,18 After all, America was the most powerful country of the world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.
But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.19 A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even tough it may not always be the upper hand.
