When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is   31   wrong with curiosity(好奇) in itself. Whether it is good or bad   32     on what people are curious about.

Curiosity sometimes can be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are   33   of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They have a strong wish to know what they are    34   home or taking outside, or why they have come home so   35  or late. To be interested in these things is foolish because it is none of their business to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is not only foolish but also   36  . For most probably, it may lead to a small talk   37   often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect (不尊重) to others, and thus   38  their feelings.

On the other hand, there is a   39  curiosity --- the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they   40  learn about them. Columbus could   41   have found America if he had not been   42  . James Watt would not have made the steam engine (蒸汽機(jī))    43   his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid (水壺蓋). All the discoveries in      human history have been made as a   44  of curiosity, so the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have   45   or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

We typically associate the word “science” with a person in a white coat doing experiments in a laboratory. Ideally, experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences; but in practice this is not usually the case. The are at least three reasons for this.

1．Human scientists are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiment.

2．The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal.

3．There are moral reasons for not conducting experiments that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them.

Faced with the above difficulties, what are human scientists to do? One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions. We can, for example, learn something about how a normal brain functions by looking at people who have suffered brain damage; and we can gain some understanding into the roles played by genes and the environment by studying twins, who have been separated at birth and brought up in different families. In the case of economics, economic history can provide us with a bank of-admittedly not very well-controlled-experimental data.

However, human scientists do not just sit around waiting for natural experiments to arise. They also think of some experiments of their own. Suppose you want to know how a baby sees the world. We cannot, of course, ask the baby since it has not yet learnt to speak. So it might seem that all we can do is guess. People usually won’t change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones. This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind. There was now a way of testing babies’ expectations and getting some idea of how they are six months old, babies can already do the following things: figuring out that objects consist of parts that move together being aware of the difference between living and non-living things and even doing simple arithmetic work.

60．What is true about the natural sciences and the human sciences according to this passage?

A．Both human scientists and natural scientists can run controlled experiments.

B．Experiments done by human scientists and natural scientists are artificial.

C．Both human and natural science experiments should be of the same importance.

D．It’s not moral to conduct human science experiments.

61．What do we know about human scientists from this passage?

A．They are white coat scientists.

B．They have more experimental sources than natural scientists.

C．They conduct experiments passively.

D．They face more difficulties in carrying out their research.

62．Which of the following experiments belongs to human science experiment?

A． Vinegar Volcano Vinegar and baking soda make for a fun and easy science experiment. Try creating a vinegar volcano.

B． Taste Without Smell Put your senses to the test with this simple experiment that

shows the importance of your sense of smell.

C． Lung Function Observe your breath and confirm your lung volume by completing this experiment.

D． Make a Rainbow Use sunlight and water to make your own rainbow with this cool experiment that will teach kids how rainbows work while they enjoy a fun activity

63．What does the author tell us in this passage?

A．ABCs about the science experiment.

B．Some knowledge of science.

C．Some differences between the human sciences and the natural sciences.

D．The similarity of the natural sciences and the human sciences.

    Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation (衛(wèi)生設(shè)備).

     The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate (不充足的) water and sanitation kill between 2高☆考♂資♀源?網(wǎng) and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition (前提) for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.

Consider these facts:

     The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.

     Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.

     Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-born diseases.

Here are three ways you can help:

     (1) Write Congress

     Current US foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.

     (2) Donate to a project with a faith-based organizations

     Many US religious groups already donate to water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply a single project by a US organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.

     (3) Support nonprofit water organizations

     Many US-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects on drinking water and sanitation. Some organizations are large, others small, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.

The passage is probably written for         .

A. Americans                B. people in developing countries

C. religious leaders     高☆考♂資♀源?網(wǎng)      D. nonprofit water organizations

What is the problem that the facts exposed?

A. Inequality between men and women.                             

B. Many people have no access to clean drinking water.

C. Less effort has been made to improve the basic sanitation.                              

D. Children suffer most from the lack of basic sanitation.

The purpose of the passage is to arouse people to         .

A. help the developing countries              

B. help solve the water shortage and sanitation problem

C. support nonprofit water organizations     

D. help get rid of water-related diseases around the world

Which is the best title of the passage?

A. From Water Shortage and Sanitation to Poverty             

B. Developing World, A Place Needs Help

C. Water Shortage and Sanitation, What Can We Do?
