living. the scientific process and the knowledge produced cannot be considered to be ends in themselves, except for the classical scientist. a student should understand the relation of basic research to applied research, and the connection between technological developments and human affairs. more of technology than science will be involved in social decisions, but both are important in public policy. the knowledge and methods of science are of little importance if there is no inclination to use them properly . an open mind, a desire for accurate knowledge, confidence in the procedures for seeking knowledge, and the expectation that the solution of problems will come from the use of tested and proven knowledge these are among the “scientific attitudes”. science instruction should acquaint students with career possibilities in technical fields and in science teaching. a continuous effort should be made to identify and encourage those who develop special interests. they should be given opportunities for some direct experience of a professional nature； they should also learn about the extent of the various science fields and how these fields are related to each other. but it is even more important for young people to acquire those skills and abilities that will enable them to take the responsibilities for expanding their own learning.51. according to the first paragraph, the young people must a. devote themselves for science b. devote themselves for the socialism c. understand and realize that science is a basic part of modern living d. be well-educated and to get more knowledge for our construction52. the word “ends” (para. 1)most probably means a. purpose b. results c. advances d. conclusions53. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. both technology and science are important in social decisions. b. technology is more important than science in social decisions. c. science is more important than technology in social decisions. d. the knowledge and method of science are more important than those of technology.54. which of the following is not a factor of“scientific attitudes”? a. an open mind. b. accurate knowledge. c. confidence in the process for seeking knowledge. d. the expectation that the solution of problems will come from.55. according to the passage, it is more important for young people to 。 a. develop special interests in technical fields b. get more opportunities /or broadening their knowledge c. take the responsibilities for broadening their knowledge d. acquire the skills and abilities for broading their knowledge d long after the 1998 world cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed decisions that denied victory to their team.a researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. the researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. observes noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament.converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remark-ably high number. the researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. when the officials got it right, they were,on average,17 metes away from the action.the average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. the research the research shows the optimum distance is about 20 meters. there also seemed to be an optimum speed . correct decisions came when the referees were moving at speed of about 2 meters per second. the average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. in fifafootballs international ruling body wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next world cup , it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance , rather than rushing to keep up with the ball the researcher argues. he also says that fifas insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided.if keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. 56. the experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _. a. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 world cup b. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees c. set a standard for football refereeing d. reexamine the rules for football refereeing 57. the number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _. a. slightly above average b. higher than in the 1998 world cup c. quite unexpected d. as high as in a standard match 58. the findings of the experiment show that _. a. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball b. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors c. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur d. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot 59. the word “officials” (para. 4) most probably refers to _. a. the researchers involved in the experiment b. the inspectors of the football tournament c. the referees of the football tournament d. the observers at the site of the experiment 60. what is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? a. the ideal retirement age for an experienced
