of control”. this idea is dangerous. science can be a force for evil as well as for good. its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. the decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. but here is a real danger. science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. and, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing. some people go even further. they say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be donesomewhere, sometime. they believe that science will get out of control in the end. this belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world. in our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. take human cloning for example. despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. the outcomes are hard to predict. therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future. 1. what can we conclude from the recent study? a. people think highly of science. b. people hold mixed opinions about science. c. science is getting dangerously out of control. d. science is used for both good and bad purposes. 2. according to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control? a. the development of science will hopelessly slow down. b. businesses will have even greater influence on science. c. the public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future. d. people will work more actively to put science under control. 3. the discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because.a. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesb. the ties between different areas need strengtheningc. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienced. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science4. what is the main idea of the passage? a. science and its applications bring us many dangers. b. the development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes. c. mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts. d. the future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas. 【参考答案】34.1-4 bcdb【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中2014模拟】阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。 awatson entered mr. smiths office. the boss was a hard man. he fired people who didnt do

was always an adventure: there were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and dad did.in the spring, dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when i was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.on dads final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” one lady had no mailbox, so dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. one note left in a mailbox read, “nat, take these eggs to marian; shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs.” mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. on cold days dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. a young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; dad paid for the stamps. one businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for dad to take to the bank. once, the amount came to $32,000.a dozen years ago, when i traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of dads death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. i thought i knew them all, but that wasnt the case.as i drove home, i noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. when my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. one box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: santa claus, north pole. for years children had dropped letters to santa through those holes.i made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. mom and i were sitting at the kitchen table when i heard footsteps. there, at the door, stood frank townsend, dads postmaster and great friend for many years. so we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.at one point frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “what are we going to do about the letters this christmas？”he asked.“the letters？”“i guess you never knew.”“knew what？”“remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to santa in those green and red boxes on main street? it was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”i just sat there with tears in my eyes. it wasnt hard for me to imagine dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. i have since spoken with several of the people who received christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that santa had known so much about their homes and families.for me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.55. it can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with dad as _.a. great chances to help other people b. happy occasions to play with baby chickensc. exciting experiences with a lot of fund. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies 56. the writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that _.a. dad had a strong sense of dutyb. dad was a
