Good, sound science depends on ____76____, experiments and reasoned methodologies. It requires a willingness to ask new questions and try new approaches. It requires one to take risks and experience failures. But good science also requires _____77____ understanding, clear explanation and concise presentation. Our country needs more scientists who are willing to step out into the public and offer their ____78____ on important matters. We need more scientists who can explain what they are doing in language that is ____79____and understandable to the public. Those of us who are not scientists should also be prepared to support public engagement by scientists, and to ____80____ scientific knowledge into our public communications. Too many people in this country, including some among our elected leadership, still do not understand how science works or why robust, long-range investments in research vitally matter. America used to ____81____ nearly 17% of discretionary(可酌情支配的) spending to research and development, ____82____ decades of economic growth. By 2008, the figure had fallen into the single digits. This occurs at a time when other nations have made significant gains in their own research capabilities. At the University of California, we ____83____ ourselves not only on the quality of our research, but also on its contribution to improving our world. To hasten the development of science from the lab bench to the market place, UC is investing our money in our own good ideas. Part 3 Reading and writing A. Choose the best answer: 10% If you are confused by all the news about the health effects of eating fish, you’re not alone. On one hand, the omega-3 fatty acids(脂肪酸) in fish are known to reduce the risk of heart disease, as the American Heart Association reminded us two weeks ago when it restated its recommendation that everybody eat at least two fish servings a week. On the other hand, fish that live in contaminated waterways contain high levels of mercury(汞), which can lead to cognitive problems in developing brains. That’s why pregnant women and nursing mothers are advised to limit their consumption. As if that weren’t confusing enough, two new studies published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine investigated the possible effects of mercury on the heart, and they seem to have reached contradictory conclusions. One found no clear link between mercury levels and heart disease; the other found that men with high levels of mercury in their toenails were more likely to suffer a heart attack than those with low levels. What are we to make of this? The first thing to remember is that this is how science proceeds, by fits and starts and seemingly contradictory results that get resolved only by further study. The second is that not all fish are created equal. Compared with all the other things you might eat, fish are an excellent source of protein. They tend to eat algae as part of their natural life cycle, converting it into omega-3 fatty acids that can improve your cholesterol profile. But it’s also true that our waterways have become increasingly contaminated with all sorts of pollutants, including mercury, and that these pollutants tend to accumulate at different levels in different species. The fish most at risk are predators high in the pelagic food chain, such as swordfish and sharks. It was to test the effects of mercury on the heart that the two new studies compared the mercury levels in clippings from toenails, where heavy metals tend to be deposited. In one study, researchers led by Dr. Eliseo Guallar at Johns Hopkins found that European and Israeli men with the highest mercury levels were nearly 2.2 times as likely to have a heart attack as those with the lowest levels. The other study, led by Dr. Walter Willett at the Harvard School of Public Health, looked at a selection of American men and found no connection between mercury exposure and risk of heart disease, although Willett told me a “weak association” cannot be ruled out. For most of us, eating two servings of fish a week should not pose any problems. Guallar, who hails from coastal Spain, continues to flavor his paella with salmon, which has negligible mercury levels. Willett eats swordfish only about twice a month—because of its expense, not any fear of mercury. Fish-oil supplements are high in omega-3 fatty acids and probably don’t contain as much mercury as whole fish. But they don’t taste nearly as good. 84. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ______. A) making a comparison B) justifying an assumption C) posing a contrast D) explaining a phenomenon 85. The underlined phrase “by fits and starts”（Paragraph 2）most probably means ______. A) something happens smoothly B) something keeps starting and then stops again C) something deserves a lot of effort D) something is troublesome 86. Clippings from toenails were chosen for the research most probably because ______. A) they are more likely to contain mercury B) they influence a person’s heart C) they can be easily obtained D) they are connected with the heart 87. The views of Dr. Eliseo Guallar and Dr. Walter Willett are ______. A) identical B) similar C) opposite D) complementary 88. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A) Fish is no threat to humans. B) Do not be frightened by some fish. C) Eat fish-oil supplements instead of fish. D) Taste is more important than the safety of the food. B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage: 18 % In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, ____89____ it’s picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a ____90____ thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, even paralyzed with indecision. “That’s particularly true when it comes to the work place,” says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students ____91____ with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when they are to choose an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students ____92____ their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job-hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups: maximizers, who ____93____ every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might ____94____ that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on ____95____, they weren’t ____96____ happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of ____97____ opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career. 89. A. such as B. either C. whether D. even if 90. A. nasty B. great C. reasonable D. common 91. A. graduate B. are graduating C. have graduated D. graduated 92. A. before B. after C. from D. during 93. A. like B. choose C. consider D. deny 94. A. know B. agree C. argue D. expect 95. A. equal B. average C. terms D. percentage 96. A. much B. that C. as D. less 97. A. missing B. missed C. gaining D. gained C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words: 16% The human brain contains ten thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous n_____98_____ used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to make it intelligent by loading in the right software or by changing the architecture but that too will h_____99_____. I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon will arise first to m_____100_____ and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to r_____101_____ themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon’s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the k_____102_____ universe. As the intelligence of robots increases to rival that of humans and as their c_____103_____ declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. F_____104_____ ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our p_____105_____. D. Answer the questions: 12% What homework did you do in the winter holiday? Now homework is not simply about exercises. It can be researches, experiments and even work experiences. Take a look at some students’ special homework. Studying snacks One day, Wang Yang, from Shanghai Oriental School, was doing his biology homework. His teacher asked them to research the nutrients of different snacks. He bought 10 kinds of snacks. Then he checked their ingredient lists one by one and wrote down the amount of sugar, fat and so on, in each. “We are told it is not good to eat too many snacks. They have high calories(卡路里). But we always pay no attention to it,” he said. After analyzing each snack’s ingredients, he realized it was true. Wang Yang spent three days on the homework. But he said it was interesting. “I learned a lot. I collected the data, created forms and wrote the report by myself.” Physics in real life With some plasticine(橡皮泥), steel balls, a ping-pong ball, could you make a tumbler(不倒翁)? This is the physics homework of Huang Jiali, 14, of Shanghai 54 Middle School. Huang first cut the ping-pong ball in half. Then she put the plasticine and steel balls into one of them. The bottom of the tumbler was made. Finally, she also used the paper to make the “hat”. “Next term, we will learn about the center of gravity(重心). This homework made me more curious about it,” she said. Learning on the job While Wang and Huang did their homework at home, Ding Ling, 15, of No. 5 Middle School, had to go outside. She worked as a guide in the local museum. “Everyone at our school has to take part in volunteering or other activities,” she said. Ding was a guide in the gallery(展馆) of coins. She got brochures from the museum. In order to make the introduction more vividly, she still did research and added more information to her introduction. She worked three hours a day and had no time to take a break. But she felt it was a meaningful experience, “I learned how to do some research, and my communication skills are also improved.” she said. 106. How many students’ homework was displayed by the writer? 107. What does homework mean according to this passage? 108. What does “it” mean in the underlined sentence “He realized it was true”? 109. What material did Huang Jiali use to make a tumbler? 110. How did Ding Lin make her introduction more vivid? 111. How do you like the special homework mentioned in the passage? Why?
