Released at a congressional meeting attended by senators(参议员) and Congress members of both parties, the report updates a 2005 science education report that led to moves to double federal research funding. Nevertheless, the Rising Above the Gathering Storm review finds little improvement in U.S. elementary and secondary technical education since then. “Our nations future has worsened,” concludes the report panel headed by former Lockheed chief Martin Norman Augustine. The report “paints a discouraging future for America if it were to continue on the perilous path it has been following: U.S. K-12 education in mathematics and science ranks 48th worldwide. 49of U.S. adults dont know how long it takes for the Earth to circle the sun. Although US school achievement scores have stagnated, harming the economy as employers look elsewhere for competent workers, the report says that other nations have made gains. If the USAs students matched Finlands, for example, analysis suggests the US economy would grow 9-16. “The real point is that we have to have a well-educated workforce to create opportunities for young people,” says Charles Vest，head of the National Academy of Engineering, a report sponsor. “Otherwise, we dont have a chance.” “The current economic crisis makes the link between education and employment very clear, says Steven Newton of the National Center for Science Education in Oakland. In 2007, however, an analysis led by B. Lindsay Lowell of Georgetown University found that worries about US science education were overblown(夸大的). It saw three times more science and engineering college graduates than job openings each year. Other reports have found top science and engineering students migrating to better-paying jobs in finance, law and medicine since the 1900s.56. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Poor science education harms US economy B. Americas future will become worse C. Experts worries about US science education D. The connection between education and employment57. The underlined word “perilous” in the fourth paragraph means “_”. A. straight B. different C. dangerous D. narrow58. We can conclude from what Charles Vest says that _. A. he is satisfied with Americas science education B. improving science education helps the growth of the U. S. economy C. American young people have no chance to find good-paying jobs D. Finlands students are not as good as the USAs students in school achievementBMotorists over the age of 75 face compulsory tests of their eyesight and ability to drive under proposals being considered by ministers. The biggest overhaul of motoring law in a generation could also lead to all drivers having to give assurances(保证) of their fitness to get behind the wheel every 10 years. Other changes under consideration include issuing(发放) daylight driving licenses for motorists with night blindness, together with stricter checks on all drivers whose medical condition brought a threat to other road users. It is understood that the proposals will be part of a review of the law governing the medical fitness of drivers that will be announced publicly by the summer. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is dealing with a rising number of motorists who are concerned that they have conditions-from failing eyesight to epilepsy-that could affect their driving. In 2006, the DVLA dealt with 600,000 motorists whose physical ability to drive needed to be recertified(重新认证), a 20 per cent rise on the previous year. With an ageing population, the biggest challenge is dealing with the rising number of elderly motorists. By 2021, there will be an estimated three million drivers over the age of 70 on Britains roads. Drivers must renew their licenses at the age of 70 and every three years thereafter. The applicant is legally required to tell the DVLA of any conditions that could weaken their ability behind the wheel. Ministers have ruled out a compulsory maximum age for driving but will instead rely on tightening up the checks on motorists over the age of 75. The most likely option would be tests to ensure motorists were fit to drive. They would include an eyesight test and a cognitive(认知) test that would prove a drivers ability to react to road signs, driving conditions, pedestrians and vehicles. However, checks are likely to be tightened at all ages. The strictest controls are expected to be imposed(强制) on motorists of any age who have had a heart attack or stroke. They could have to produce a doctors approval to resume(重新得到) driving. Anyone making a false declaration would be guilty of a criminal offence.59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The new motoring law will come into effect by the summer. B. Drivers over the age of 75 must renew their licenses every three years. C. Doctors will decide whether one can get their driving licenses. D. Drivers at all ages will be expected to provide their medical condition.60. What is the biggest challenge to the traffic safety in Britain according to the writer? A. Ageing population. B. Increasing number of cars.C. Increasing number of elderly motorists. D. Driving conditions.61. The underlined word “overhaul” in Paragraph 2 means _. A. change B. consideration C. concern D. challenge62. What can be learned from the passage? A. There will be more and more aged drivers in Britain. B. Anyone can get a driving license as long as he/she is in good health. C. Health tends to decline as one gets old.D. It will be guilty to make a false declaration.CYamilette Colon was close to leaving a school. “Im not even going to lie to you, and I was bad, said Colon, who admitted she had a gift for attracting trouble. Three years later, though, Colon, now 18, is a school honor student on track for a May diploma, spurred in part by a sense of self-pride, but also, she says, by the economic disaster that has closed plants, deprived of jobs and dimmed the future for many young people in this depressed county. “Its a huge factor,” Colon said, “What it comes down to is, the longer you stay in school, the more education you will get, and the more money you will make.” Thats a big shift in attitude in a community where 24 percent of adults older than 25 have not a high school education, where only 66 percent of students graduate from high school in four years, and where generations of kids dropped out because it was always easy to find a suitable job. But across the country, education leaders say theyre seeing what may be one bright spot in the discouraging downturn: more students choose to stay in or return to school. “Im hearing kids clinging to their education as the economy gets worse, said Clyde Riley, principal at the Tipton Street Center alternative school, where Colon is one of 240 students in a district that serves some 13,500. Here and elsewhere, long waiting lists for adult education and GED (General Education Development) classes, enrollments at community colleges and, perhaps, a surge in returns by high school dropouts and a decline in those who leave in the first place, may all point to a renewed focus on education, experts say. “If theres anything good coming out of this recession, its to make educational lemonade out of these lemons.” said Bob Wise, who now heads a national policy group. 63. According to the text, Colon was a girl _. A. who dropped out of school at 15 years oldB. who often made trouble at school C. who was driven out of school because of lying D. who was honored for fighting bravely64. Why did Colon become an honor student? A. Because she had a gift for academic learning.B. Because she intended to change the economic situation. C. Because she showed anxiety for her future. D. Because she was often asked to stay after school.65. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Most dropouts did quite well in their lessons. B. All the dropouts think school life boring. C. Some dropouts found it easy to get a job.D. Dropouts return because they have earned enough.66. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Students stay longer at school B. Dropouts drop back to school C. Recession made more students drop out D. Teens change their attitudes to educationDIf you have a fever, headache and runny nose, you might go to Google and type in the words “flu symptoms” to see whether youve come down with the disease. Google knows that you might do something like that, and it also knows which state youre in if you are in the United States. Now, its putting that information together in a tool that could find out flu outbreaks faster than traditional systems currently in use, according to CNN report. It is called Google Flu Trends. “Whats exciting about Flu Trends is that it lets anybody-doctors, health officials, moms with sick children-learn about the current flu activity level in their own state based on the data thats coming in this week,” said Jeremy Ginsberg, the lead engineer who developed the tool. The tool operates on the idea that theres likely to be a flu outbreak in states where flu-related search terms are currently popular. To test the accuracy of the data, Google compared its figures against statistic
