labeled the sciences humanities divide a problem of the two cultures He said it was bad for society The modern world needed well rounded people I think I know better now but it would have helped if we had been encouraged to think a little more outside our science and arts boxes That s why I believe it is healthy that China is beginning a debate on 7 whether it s wise for young people to have to choose which direction their careers and lives will take at such an early age At the moment in their second year of high school students must choose either the sciences or the humanities After making the choice they focus their energies on passing the appropriate college entrance exam But now people in China are asking Is this forced early decision good for young people or society Young people need time to explore to discover where their real talents and interests lie There are more than just a few middle aged people out there stuck in jobs they hate because they made the wrong choice at the wrong time And from the point of view of society isn t it better for students to delay a while before they decide what to study Scientists can benefit from learning to develop the critical skills associated with the humanities students in the humanities surely only stand to gain by finding out a little more about science and technology which are so important to the future of a developing country like China With any luck in the future young people fresh to college will be better informed about the possibilities of education than people of my generation 61 The author describes what happened at a fresher party to A show that he was ready to defend the subject he enjoyed B lead up his argument that the sciences humanities divide is harmful C prove that doing something meaningful is better than having a lot of money D describe how fierce students of different majors can be when arguing with each other 62 What was C P Snow s attitude towards the sciences humanities divide A Indifferent B Uncertain C Positive D Negative 63 In the sixth paragraph an example mentioning middle aged people is used to show that A students should not make decisions too early B not all people have a talent for or are interested in the sciences C these people did not have the chance to make a choice earlier in life D the earlier young people make a decision the better it will be for them 64 According to the text it is safe to say that A sciences are more practical in the modern world B C P Snow was a novelist who became a physicist C future generations will be able to get more out of education D a command of both the sciences and humanities is important to society 65 What s the best title for the article A The sciences or the humanities which to choose B High school education in China C Isn t it better to delay the choice of the career direction D A better time to decide what to study C C 8 Mr Dawson was an old bad tempered man and everyone in town knew it Kids knew not to go into his yards to pick apples because old Dawson they said would come after you with his gun One Friday 12 year old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy They had to go by Dawson s house but as
