You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions foll

21、owing each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1-5Pupils at GCSE are to be allowed to abandon learning traditional hard science, including the meaning of the p

22、eriodic table, in favour of soft science such as the benefits of genetic engineering and healthy eating. The statutory requirement for pupils to learn a science subject will be watered down under a new curriculum introduced next year. There will be no compulsion to master the periodic table the basi

23、s of chemistry nor basic scientific laws that have informed the work of all the great scientists such as Newton and Einstein. The changes, which the government believes will make science more relevant to the 21st century, have been attacked by scientists as a dumbing down of the subject. In June the

24、 government had to announce financial incentives to tackle a shortage of science teachers. Academics have estimated that a fifth of science lessons are taught by teachers who are not adequately qualified.Most children now study for the double-award science GCSE, which embraces elements of biology, c

25、hemistry and physics. This GCSE will be scrapped and ministers have agreed that from next year all 14-year-olds will be required to learn about the general benefits and risks of contemporary scientific developments, in a new science GCSE. A harder science GCSE will also be introduced as an optional

26、course. One expert involved in devising the new system believes it will halve the number of state school pupils studying hard science. Independent schools and more talented pupils in the state sector are likely to shun the new papers in favour of the GCSEs in the individual science disciplines of ph

27、ysics, chemistry and biology. These will continue to require pupils to achieve an understanding of scientific principles.The new exams were devised after proposals by academics at Kings College London, who told ministers that science lessons were often dull and boring and required pupils to recall t

28、oo many facts. Their report said: Contemporary analyses of the labour market suggest that our future society will need a larger number of individuals with a broader understanding of science both for their work and to enable them to participate as citizens in a democratic society.However, Professor C

29、olin Blakemore, chief executive of the Medical Research Council, warned that reducing the hard science taught in schools would create problems. I can understand the governments motives, he said. There is a crisis of public confidence in science which is reducing the progress of policy on such issues

30、 as nuclear energy and stem cell research. But sixth-formers are already arriving at university without the depth of knowledge required. Others endorse the new approach. Results at North Chadderton upper school in Oldham one of 80 schools piloting the new softer GCSE, named 21st Century Science have

31、 improved. Martyn Overy, the head of science, said: The proportion getting higher grades in science went up from 60% to 75%. The course kept their interest, had more project work and was more relevam.As part of their course, the pupils studied what kind of food they needed to keep fit and healthy. C

32、ritics say it is only marginally more demanding than following the advice of Nigella Lawson, the television chef who promotes the benefits of eating proper meals instead of snacking from the fridge. Some science teachers are skeptical. Mo Afzai, head of science at the independent Warwick school, said: These changes will widen the gap
