Science。And technology students in China and the US  have a1ong way to go before they call develop a deep understanding of scientific reasoning,researchers have found．

    As part of a research to compare science education in China and the US，LeiBao,a professor

 from the Departmenr of Physics of the Ohio State University, gave 5,760；freshmen in three US and four Chinese univeristies two tests to evaluate content knowledge  and another to assess scientific reasoning

     Though Chinese students did better than their US counterparts in the first two tests that

Emphasized on learning facts,both groups “scored relatively poorly”on the third test,designed to

 Assess their ability ot systmatically explore a problem , the results showed.

    Lei Bao said that the finding challenges conventional wisdom，which holds that teaching

 science facts will improve students’reasoning ability．“Our study shows that ,contrary to what many  people would expect，even when students are thoroughly taught the facts，they don’t necessarily develop the reasoning skills they need io succeed．’’IBao said：‘“Because students need both knowledge and reasoning,we need to explore teaching methods that target both．”

    ‘The current education systems and asessment of China and the US do not emphasize on deep understanding of scientific reasoning in the disciplines of science；technology,engineering and mathematics(STEM)，the study concluded．

    Bao explained that reasoning is good skill for everyone topossess-not just scientists and

 engineers：The general public also need good reasoning skills in order to correctly interpret

 scientific findings and think rationally．STEM students need to excael at scientific reasoning in order to handle open-ended real-world tasks in their future careers in science and engineering．

    How to boost scientific reasoning?The study suggests that educators must go beyond teaching science facts if they hope to boost students’reasoning ability．Bao points to inquiry-based leaming.where students work in groups，question teachers and design their owu investigations．This teaching technique is growing in popularity worldwide．

67．According to the research，we know that              

    A．Chinese students and their US counterparts did poorly in the first two tests

    B．Chinese students did beaer than their US counterparts in alI the three tests

    C．Chinese students did beaer than their US counterparts in the first two tests    ‘

    D．US students did beaer than their Chinese counterparts in the third test

 68．The conventional wisdom holds that            ．

    A．the more facts~tudents are taught，the more reasoning skills they will acquire

    B．the general public also need reasoning skills to interpret scientific findings

    C．to boost students’reasoning ability,educators must explore teaching methods

    D．the current education Systems are harmful to improve students’reasoning ability

 69．Based on the study,what will be done to improve students’reasoning ability?

    A．To improve teaching techniques．        B．To better students’learning conditions．

    C．To teach students more science facts．    D．To offer students more tests．

70．The underlined phrase“excel at”in Paragraph 6 probably means        ．

    A．be worse at    B．be beaer at    C．be enthusiastic about D．be inferior to

 71．Which of the following is correct according to the passage?

    A．Little needs to be done to develop students’reasoning ability in the US．

    B．Only scientists and engineers need reasoning abilities．

    C．Two tests were carried out to evaluate students’scientific reasoning．

    D．Inquiry-based learning is a good way to boost students’reasoning ability．

Many people seem to think that science fiction is typified by the Bug-eyed Monster, embodying every feature that most people find unpleasant. This is unfortunate because it degrades a worthwhile literary endeavor. Instead, the basic interest of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and the aspects of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for no other literary form does quite the same things. What is science fiction? To begin, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary subgenre which postulates(以…為前提) a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion.?
The first point that science fiction is a literary subgenre is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a subgenre of prose fiction(小說) is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic functions in much the same way as prose fiction in general, that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.
Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, whether short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, characters, setting, and language. The themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result to a particular combination of a narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would be for any other story or novel.?
51.From the first paragraph, we can infer that science fiction has been most popular in the 20th century because ____.?
A with the growth of literacy, the size of the reading public has increased?
B competition from television has created a demand for more exciting fiction?
C science fiction is easier to understand than other kinds of fiction?
D the increased importance of technology has given science fiction an increased relevance
52.According to the definition in the passage, a fictional work that places human beings in a prehistoric world inhabited by dinosaurs____.?
A cannot be called science fiction because it does not deal with the future?
B cannot be called science fiction because it doesn’t deal with technology?
C can be called science fiction because it deals with man’s relation with the world?
D can be called science fiction because it places people in an environment different from the one we know?
53. Science fiction is called a literary subgenre because____.?
A it is not important enough to be a literary genre?
B it cannot be made into a dramatic presentation?
C it shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction?
D it has its limits?
54.One implication of the final sentence in the passage is that____.?
A the reader should turn next to commentaries on general fiction?
B there is no reason for any reader not to like science fiction?
C the reader should compare other novels and stories to science fiction?
D those who can appreciate prose fiction can appreciate science fiction?
55.An appropriate title for this passage would be____.?
A Man and the Universe?
B Toward a Definition of Science Fiction?
C A Type of Prose Fiction?
D The Bug-Eyed Monster??

[1]A program in the United States brings scientists and engineers into elementary schools to teach teachers more about how to teach science.
[2]Dave Weiss is a retired engineer. One day each week he volunteers at Georgian Forest Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland, near Washington. He, who is so enthusiastic and so much fun with the kids, works with teacher Fred Tenyke on science projects for ten years.
[3]Student Jada Lockwood says she enjoys Mr. Weiss' visits to her classroom. She likes the drawings he uses to explain scientific ideas.
[4]The American Association for the Advancement of Science sponsors the Senior Scientists and Engineers program. Dave Weiss has been a volunteer in that program for many years. The scientists and engineers help teachers in elementary schools improve their skills.
[5]Mr. Weiss says he and the other volunteers help teachers by providing hands-on knowledge. He notes that science is an area in which many elementary school teachers have         _________experience. In elementary school, for the most part, a regular classroom teacher is responsible for teaching science, along with reading and math, and if they don't have a strong science background, just by nature, they're going to tend to underrepresent science in the curriculum.
[6]American fifteen-year-olds scored about average in science among countries that took part in testing by the OECD in 2009. The OECD is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
[7]Dave Weiss says he is concerned about such results, but hopeful for the future for American students learning science. Fred Tenkye thinks volunteers like Dave Weiss are helping students do that.
