[单项选择]Imagine being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of your own sex. How would you react Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising, therefore, that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children--conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of education is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.
A co-educational school offers childre
A. Only co-education can be in harmony with society.

[单项选择]E-mail—can’t live with it, can’t live without it. Con artists and real artists, advertisers and freedom fighters, lovers and sworn enemies-they’ve all flocked to email as they would to any new medium of expression. E-mail is convenient, saves time, brings us closer to one another, helps us manage our ever-more-complex lives. Books are written, campaigns conducted; crimes committed-all via e-mail. But it is also inconvenient, wastes our time, isolates us in front of our computers and introduces more complexity into our already too-harried lives. To skeptics, E-mails just the latest chapter in the evolving history of human communication. A snooping husband now discovers his wife’s affair by reading her private e-mail--but he could have uncovered the same sin by finding letters a generation ago.
Yet E-mail-and all online communication-is in fact something truly different; it captures the essence of life at the close of the 20th century with an authority that few other products of dig
A. E-mail brings convenience as well as inconvenience.
B. E-mail complicates our lives.
C. E-mail links us to others more closely, but at the same time, it isolates us as well.
D. E-mail draws crowds of people who can’t live with or without it.

[单项选择]In the angry debate over how much of IQ comes from the genes that children inherit from parents and how much comes from experiences, one little fact gets overlooked: no one has identified any genes (other than those that cause retardation) that affect intelligence. So researchers led by Robert Plomin of London’s Institute of Psychiatry decided to look for some:
Plomin’s colleagues drew blood from two groups of 51 children each. They are all White living in six counties around Cleveland. In one group, the average IQ is 136. In the other group, the average IQ is 103. Isolating the blood cells, the researchers then examined each child’s chromosome 6 (One of the 23 human chromosomes). Of the 37 land marks on chromosome 6that the researchers looked for, one jumped out: a form of gene called IGF2R occurred in twice as many children in high IQ group as in the average grouw-32 percent versus 16 percent. The study concludes that it is this form of the IGF2R gene, called allele 5, that cont
A. scientists have reached an agreement
B. scientists’ opinions vary
C. no genes have ever been identified
D. scientists have found many smart genes

Today, as millions of men and women of childbearing age and younger are surviving cancer, the question of reproduction is arising as a paramount consideration in planning treatment. 46)Among the issues are the ability to preserve fertility while curing, the disease and the safety of pregnancy for both mothers with cancer and their future children.
In a continuing study of more than 20,000 survivors of childhood cancers, the two greatest concerns mentioned by former patients two and three decades later are "Can I have children" and "If I have children, will they be healthy" said Dr. Leslie Robison, an epidemiologist(流行病学)at the University of Minnesota Medical School, who directs the project involving 25 cancer centers. 47)"Today more than 75 percent of children with cancer are being cured, yet we know little about the side effects of treatment beyond the first 10 years."
