Why does a large education nation like China have so few world renowned scientists as the US Educationists from China and the US try to find out the answer to questions like this at a forum on the basic education strategy.
The forum, held recently, was jointly organized by the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in the US. It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system.
While some educationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the country’s educational system in recent years. Their American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world.
An American educationist told reporters that the basic education in the US was criticized in recent years due to its political tendency. On the contrary, Chinese government’s stress on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example.
At primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow to be world “masters”. Why? Educationists attributed this to China’s stress on examination rather than students’ interest.
Deputy Director of the postgraduate school of Pennsylvania University said American teachers encouraged students to focus on their strong points. In China, students are driven to study to pass the entrance examination test and they do not pay much attention to their own interest.
At the forum, director of the Education Development Research Center Mr. Zhang said in the future, the research center would make its middle and long-term basic education strategy by taking some references from other countries including the US.
He also revealed that for a long time in the future, China would make a breakthrough in setting the policy for quality education.
60. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. quality education development in the future
B. why China’s education cultivates(培養) few world masters
C. China’s good basic education
D. genius education at the primary stage
61. The underlined word “renowned” in the first paragraph probably means ________
A. famous B. active C. qualified D. experienced
62. Few pupils in China who did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils grow to be world “masters”, because _________
A. The US government spends more money on basic education
B. American pupils are cleverer than Chinese pupils
C. basic education in China is not as successful as that of the US
D. Chinese people pay less attention to students’ interest
C
Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research — the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因) is complete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument, in terms of morality(道德) or religion.
Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations, then the other clone would be as well. The latter could be inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term. Moreover, cloning would enable women, who can’t get pregnant, to have children of their own.
Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single (or more) organ(s). It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle” of life. There would be a large number of same genes, which reduce the chances of improvement, and, in turn, development — the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear, thus leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes, and chances are that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society.
Scientists haven’t 100% guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal. Thus, this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”.
Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades” of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs; not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.
63. Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A. Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women
B. A large number of genes will prevent us from developing
C. Prohibition(禁止) of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists
D. First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists
64. What’s the author’s opinion on cloning?
A. Cloning should be entirely banned
B. Cloning should be used in creating life
C. Cloning will take away the right to reproduce
D. Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs
65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage

Join sports. Pick something that you are interested. This will help you meet other high school students with interests similar to yours.

Stay friendly. If you smile and have a good attitude, people will think you are a good person to be around. Make sure that you always stay friendly, even when you dislike someone.

Recently we have had a discussion about what is happiness. Opinions are divided as follows.
40 percent of the students think that they are happy when they wear fashionable clothes or have high-tech products like a mobile phone and MP5, as they feel they are keeping up with fashion. When they are free to do what they would like to do, they will gain the sense of happiness.
However, the others have different opinions. To them, happiness means achieving success in something, such as meeting a goal. They know that the secret to happiness is to have appreciation for the good things in life, and focus on goals. Faced with trouble, they just do as Sang Lan did. They like to be optimistic and always stay positive to life.
As far as I’m concerned, happiness will fill my heart when I can do something for others, such as donating something to those who are in trouble. Happiness isn’t about what happens to us; it’s about how we understand what happens to us. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.
