Scientists often complain that people are not rational (理性的) in their opposition to technologies such as nuclear power and genetically modified (GM) crops. From a statistical perspective, these are very safe, and so peopled fear can be explained only by emotion, strengthened by ignorance. Electricity from nuclear power has led to far fewer direct deaths than has coalfired power, yet many people are afraid of it, and hardly anyone is afraid of coal plants. Similar arguments can be made about GM crops, which studies have shown are generally safe for most people to eat.

Scientific illiteracy (无知) may be part of the problem. Most of us are afraid of things we don’t understand, and studies have shown that scientists tend to be more accepting of potentially risky technologies than laypeople. This suggests that when people know a lot about such technologies, they are usually reassured.

But there’s more to the issue than meets the eye. It is true that many of us fear the unknown, but it is also true that we don’t care enough about routine risks. Part of the explanation is complacency: we tend not to fear the familiar, and thus familiarity can lead us to underestimate risk. The investigation into the Deepwater Horizon blowout and oil spill (原油泄漏) in 2010 showed that complacency—among executives, among engineers and among government officials-was a major cause of that disaster. So the fact that experts are unworried about a threat is not necessarily reassuring.

Scientists also make a mistake when they assume that public concerns are wholly or even mostly about safety. Some people object to GM crops because these crops facilitate the increased use of chemicals. Others have a problem with the social impacts that switching to GM organisms can have on traditional farming communities or with the political implications of leaving a large share of the food supply in the hands of a few corporations.

Geoengineering (地球工程学) to lessen the impacts of climate change is another example. Laypeople as well as scientists are more concerned about oversight (监管) than safety. Who will decide whether this is a good way to deal with climate change? If we undertake the project of setting the global temperature by controlling how much sunlight reaches Earth’s surface, who will be included in that “we” and by what process will the “right” global temperature be chosen?

Can we say which group’s view is closer to an accurate assessment?

1.The underlined word “complacency” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A.overconfidence B.prediction

C.underestimation D.carelessness

2.The example of geoengineering is used to argue that ________.

A.safety is not the whole concern of the public

B.geoengineering is highly recognized by scientists

C.the public are unnecessarily troubled by climate change

D.lessening the impacts of climate change is a great challenge

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Scientific illiteracy is a major cause of disasters.

B.The safety of technologies can be accurately assessed.

C.Scientists misjudge people’s opposition to technologies.

D.People are unworried about risks with proper oversight.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Ignorance or Safety

B.Who Is Rational About Risk

C.Why Can’t People Trust Technology

D.Should Scientists Have a Say in Risk

How to Memorize Things Quicker Than Other People？

The following is my advice for you.

Step 1: Preparation

　 1.　 For most people, this means choosing an area with few distractions, though some people do advance greatly by learning in public areas. Figure out what is most conducive to your learning so that you can get started.

Step 2: Record what you’re memorizing

This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it. 　 2.　 Obviously, this is most helpful for auditory(听觉的) learners, and it’s also useful because it ensures that you’re getting more context from a lecture that will help you learn the information faster.

Step 3: Write everything down

Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize. 　 3.　　 This is most useful for experiential learners.

Step 4: 　 4.　　

Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes, separate them into sections. This is ideal for visual learners, especially if you use color coding to distinguish between subjects. 　 5.　

A. Separate your notes.

B. If you’re trying to memorize a speech, record your reading of the speech and listen to the record.

C. Doing this while listening to your tape recorder can also help you keep a lot of the data.

D. To memorize, first you should choose an area.

E. Section your notes.

F. This will help you break everything down and start classing the information being recorded in your brain.

G. To improve your memorization, pay close attention to which environment you choose.

高三英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

People used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them.

Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.

1. “Behind every successful man there is a woman:” means______.

A. men are always successful but not women

B. women are not willing to stand in front of men

C. women do play an important part in men’s lives and work

D .women can be as successful as men

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the same work.

B. Most American women want to be more successful than men.

C. Not every American woman wants to get a job.

D. The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives.

3.“Not nearly as far as I’m going to go” means ______.

A. I’m still going to work farther away from home

B. I’m not going to work far away from home

C. I’m not satisfied with what I’ve done

D. What I have done is not far from success

4.The American women’s liberation movement ________.
