Carly said she became interested inbroadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade. One day, she heard thatforest fires were burning nearby.

“I was a little nervous. I’m goingthrough my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.

A recent survey,while indicating a generally active attitude to science, also suggests awidespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea isdangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well asfor good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on ourdecisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determinethe outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fastand is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believewhatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather thanfighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.

Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legalobjections, whatever is scientifically possible will be done--somewhere,sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. Thisbelief is dangerous too, because it causes a sense of hopelessness anddiscourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and of the worldof science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without acommon understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this centurywill be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the generalagreement among scientists on its possible huge impact on traditional moralvalues, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of itsrelated techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science isapplied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through theunited efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse ofscience and can science best serve mankind in the future.

18. What can we conclude from therecent survey?

A. People hold mixed opinionsabout science.              B. People think highly of science.

C. Science is getting dangerouslyout of control.          D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.

19. According to the passage, whatwill happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?

A. The development of science willhopelessly slow down. 

B. Businesses will have evengreater influence on science.

C. People will work more activelyto put science under control.

D. The public will lose faith inbringing about a bright future.

20. The discussion should reachbeyond scientific societies because_______.

A. scientists have failed to predictthe outcomes  

B. people need to work together toprevent the bad use of science

C. united efforts are necessary todevelop related techniques in science 

D. the ties between differentareas need strengthening

21. What is the main idea of thepassage?

A. Science and its applicationsbring us many dangers. 

B. Mankind can largely takecontrol of science with their efforts.

C. The development of sciencemostly lies in people’s attitudes. 

D. The future of science will beinfluenced by the dangerous ideas.

OnSept 4, Gulangyu Island, off the coast of Xiamen, Fujian, was certificated aworld heritage site by UNESCO. China now has 52 such sites, spread across theentire country.

Millions of Chinese people visitGulangyu Island every year to enjoy its natural delights and the mixture offoreign and Chinese architecture .

The recognition of this beautiful,culturally remarkable island is an honor. But the fact that it is a heritagesite means much more than that.

The word “heritage” refers to theinvaluable things we inherit (继承) from the past. And UNESCO’s world heritage sites, ofwhich there are over 1,000, make a rich tapestry (织锦) of memories,both natural and man-made. Like a time machine, they take us back to ourancestors and even earlier, enabling us to wonder at both the natural world andhuman history.

This applies to all the sitesaround the world certificated by UNESCO, but in different ways. Places likeMoscow’s Red Square stand for a particular moment in the civilization ofhumankind; they’re valuable cultural resources that tell a story of the pastbetter than a history book could.

But heritage can also be a reminderof a lifestyle of the past. Just look at Vienna’s coffee culture: UNESCO gavethe award, not to particular cafes in Austria, but to the culture of thoseplaces; the award was for what happened there, not for the venues (地点) themselves.

At the end of the 19th century andthe beginning of the last century, the cafes were packed with artists andintellectuals (知识分子). The popularity of these places reached its height duringthe last period of the great Austro-Hungarian Empire, which ended in 1918.

By the 1950s, Austria’s coffeehouses began to go into decline, just after television arrived and people choseto stay at home for entertainment rather than go out.

Just like Gulangyu Island andViennese cafes, every world heritage item is worthy of care and protection.They remind us of our rich and various cultural pasts, and the things that madeus who we are.

22. The article is mainly written to tell us _______.

A. the true meaning of heritage                     B.the history of a few world heritage listings

C. the importance of protecting our heritage           D.the similarities among world heritage sites

23. What makes Gulangyu Island appealing to visitors?

A. Its heavy cultural atmosphere.                          B.Its mild climate and rich history.

C. Its natural wonders and tasty food.                   D.Its landscape and unique architecture.

24. How does the author support his arguments?

A. By giving examples.                                      B.By making comparisons.

C. By making assumptions.                                D.By analyzing cause and effect.

25. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?

A. The majority of world heritage listings are natural wonders.

B. Traditional techniques don’t belong to heritage.

C. Heritage offers us a window into human history.  

D. Heritage stays far away from us since it’s all about the past.
