Water is one of the most important natural resources in the world.
Everywhere, water use is【61】. Humans already use fifty-four percent of all the【62】 water in rivers, lakes and underground. There are some estimates that this【63】will reach seventy percent by 2005.
Fresh water is necessary for life on Earth. People need water for【64】activities and to produce food. Water also is important for energy production and health of Earth's environmental systems.
The United Nations is organizing a【65】of events to increase concern【66】water issues. UN officials have【67】2003 the International Year of Fresh Water. A goal of the【68】is to build support for policies to use water more【69】.
Another goal is to get more people to use water in a way【70】will not hurt environment. The world population is more than six-thousand-million people. More than one-thousand-million【71】safe drinking water. More than two-thousand-million【72】 from diseases【73】to dirty water. And, more than two-thousand-million live without waste-treatment systems.
Water was one of the issues discussed at the UN Millennium Summit two years ago. Leaders said they would work to【74】the number of people without safe drinking water in half by 2015.

Usually, there are two reasons to pursue scientific knowledge: for the
sake of the knowledge itself, and for the practical use of that knowledge.
Because this second aspect of science effects the lives of most people, 【M1】______
it is much more familiar than the first. Knowledge must be gained,
however, after it can be applied, and often the most important technological 【M2】______
advances arise from research pursued for its own sake.
Traditionally, new technology has concerned with the construction 【M3】______
of machines, structures, and tools in a relatively large scale. The 【M4】______
development of materials for building bridges, skyscrapers or highways
is an example of this, as it is the development of the internal-combustion 【M5】______
engine and the nuclear reactor. While such activities involve all sections
of the sciences, the overriding goal has been the same, that is, improve 【M6】______
the human condition by finding good ways to deal with the macroscopic 【M7】______
world.
Since World War IL the focus of technological activity underwent
a major change. While the old activities are still pursued, they have been
largely superseded by applications of technology at the microscopic level.
Instead of building large-scale structures and machines, modern-day
technology tends to concentrate on finding improving ways to transfer 【M8】______
information and to develop new materials by studying the way atoms come
together. The silicon chip and microelectronics typify this new technological
tread, as did the blossoming of genetic engineering. The trend can be 【M9】______
expected to continue for the foreseeable decades. 【M10】______
【M1】
第5题
This involves a change of attitude in many ways. Although the process has been going on since you went to middle school, the biggest change is going to take place. Now, instead of taking several subjects, you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring further. The choice was yours. You also have the goal of getting a degree . The degree and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it give you motivation, even though it may become weak from time to time, and not all parts of the course will be exciting; a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work. It is a law of diminishing returns - the less work you do, the less interest you will have and the more bored you will become. So, regular work is needed to keep up your interest as well as to keep pace with new work.
Another change is in the relationship with teachers. This may well have changed during middle school and high school, but now the whole context is different. You are no longer forced to slay in school all day, and apart from your class time, you organize your own time and place for studying. You are there to study (an active process) rather than to be taught (passive). Your teachers may or may not urge you, but they do want you to share their interest in the subject and they want you to succeed.
Some activities, like discussing and reading, are basic to studying. Make sure that you are doing these efficiently.
Group discussions give you a chance to train yourself to speak and discuss more effectively.
Theywill fail in their purpose if you keep silent—and if you start off this way, the harder it will become to get out of the situation of being the non-speaking member of the group. In the future you are almost certainly going to have to be good at speaking, so get into the way of talking about your subject now. This is actually more fun than sitting being silently miserable because you are not saving anything. Nobody will think what you say is foolish. Everyone will be thankful not to face awkward silence.

Applied research, undertaken to solve specific practical problems, has an immediate attractiveness because the results can be seen and enjoyed. For practical reasons, the sums spent on applied research in any country always far exceed those for basic research, and the proportions are more unequal in the less developed countries. Leaving aside the funds devoted to research by industry--which is naturally far more concerned with applied aspects because these increase profits quickly--the funds the U.S. Government allots to basic research currently amount to about 7 percent of its overall research and development funds. Unless adequate safeguards are provided, applied research invariably tends to drive out basic. Then, as Dr. Waterman has pointed out, "Developments will inevitably be undertaken prematurely, career incentives will gravitate strongly toward applied science, and the opportunities for making major scientific discoveries will be lost. Unfortunately, pressures to emphasize new developments, without corresponding emphasis upon pure science tend to degrade the quality of the nation% technology in the long run, rather than to improve it."
The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ______.
A．Roentgen's Ignorance of X-rays
B．The Attractiveness of Applied Research
C．The Importance of Basic Research
D．Basic Research vs. Applied Research
第8题
Throughout Europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. In Germany a different kind of university had developed. The German university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800's, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of venerable (受人尊敬的) colleges—Harvard, Yale, Columbia—and transform. them into modern universities. The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher scholars. Drilling and learning by rote (死记硬背) were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professor's own research was presented in class. Graduate training leading to the Ph. D, an ancient German degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, was introduced. With the establishment of the seminar system, graduate students learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.
At the same time, the new university greatly expanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. The president of Harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own courses of study. The notion of major fields of study emerged. The new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world. Paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engineering students being the most characteristic of the new regime. Students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.
The word "this" (Sentence 8, Para. 2) refers to which of the following？
A．Creating and passing on knowledge.
B．Drilling and learning by rote.
C．Disciplining students.
D．Developing moral principles.
第9题
Whatever the long-term outcome for the border, this major increase is a significant step. I understand the president's position that tightened border security should be linked to a guest-worker program giving immigrants a way to work temporarily and legally in this country, and to a path for eventual citizenship for the millions who have been residing here illegally for many years. And tough measures should be taken now to close the border and deport the illegals, and only after that has been done should other steps be considered.
But the president's proposal faces a triple hazard in the real world. One potential problem: If the goal is to seal the border, will additional 6,000 National Guard troops plus a load of fancy surveillance(监视) equipment, be sufficient to do the job？ Chances are, the answer is no. According to Chertoff and others in the administration, the size of the Border Patrol has grown by 3,000—from 9,000 to 12,000—in recent years and spending on border security has gone up at an even faster pace. But the tide of illegals drawn by the promise of jobs they cannot find in their home countries still floods into the United States. The second question is even more basic: Is the assumption that it's possible to seal the border at all realistic？ There are students of the border, far more export than I am, who say that the idea of a barrier—physical, electronic or human—along those miles of desert is unrealistic. Their cautions deserve attention. Finally, there is the political question: Can the House be moved by the proposal the president has put forward？ The odds are against it. Bush might have failed last December in a forceful intervention when the House bill was being drafted, but now the chances of getting the House to move to anything like the Bush position are far worse.
Bush's point of view is honorable and generous. But he comes to it in a weakened political position and with a dubious proposal. It will be a miracle if he prevails.
National Guard troops are intended by the president to ______.
A．replace the inefficient border agents
B．help to strengthen the border security
C．work as members of the border agent
D．take charge of the border security
