But
10、it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track
11、 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about mans future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylabs director, i
12、s the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific
13、knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.Thats good to know, but it doesnt remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island.

18、ess to see more new scientific discoveriesD) concern that science cannot answer all questions(C)Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. Bu
19、t the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are
20、 available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half
21、 of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on
22、how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably _.A) a n
23、ews itemB) part of an introduction to a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement(C)27. What is the most important to agriculture is _.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capita income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods(C)28.

The performance of farmers essentially determines _.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricul
25、tureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy(D)30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of _.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of
26、 American agriculture(B)Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests dont tel
27、l the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a students final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the years work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have
28、the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a students ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a students future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for
29、competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the students word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “gradu
30、ates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire
