[单项选择]Proposals for extending the United States school year to bring it more in line with its European and Japanese counterparts are often met with the objection that curtailing the schools’ three-month summer vacation would violate an established United States tradition dating from the nineteenth century. However, this object misses its mark. True, in the nineteenth century the majority of schools closed for three months every summer, but only because they were in rural areas where successful harvests depended on children’s labor. If any policy could be justified by those appeals to tradition, it would be the policy of determining the length of the school year according to the needs of the economy.
The argument counters the objection by
A. providing evidence to show that the objection relies on a misunderstanding about the amount of time each year United States schools traditionally have been closed.
B. calling into question the relevance of information about historical practices to current disputes about proposed social change.
C. arguing for an alternative understanding of the nature of the United States tradition regarding the length of the school year.
D. showing that those who oppose extending the school year have no genuine concern for tradition.
E. (E) demonstrating that tradition justifies bringing the United States school year in line with that of the rest of the industrialized world.

[单项选择]This has exposed the Convention to proposals to adopt a number of false solutions which perpetuate biodiversity destruction, climate change and erosion of people’s rights, especially those of women, indigenous peoples and local communities.
Healthy ecosystems and biodiversity are vital for regulating the climate. False climate solutions which harm biodiversity, communities and ecosystems will further destabilise the climate. They also result in the displacement of, and the loss of rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. We are already witnessing such severe impacts, as the result of false solutions which are currently being implemented on a large scale: Agrofuel (also called biofuel) crops, and industrial tree plantations, which U. N. bodies falsely refer to as "afforestation and reforestation". To make matters worse, certification schemes, standards and criteria falsely promote these damaging activities as being "environmentally sustainable".

[单项选择] Scientists have long sought the reasons for the relatively young age of the majority of Martian meteorites discovered on Earth in comparison with the age of Mars, an enigma exarcebated by the fact that the Martian rocks were ejected Line by only six or seven separate impact events. Previous tests had predicted that driving meteorites to Earth would require a collision with an asteroid immense enough to make a crater 12-kilometers across, but because such huge impacts are extremely infrequent, it was unlikely that enough of them could have occurred to explain our planet’’s Martian meteorite collection. Now astronomer James Head’’s higher-resolution models demonstrate that collisions making craters only three kilometers across can jettison 10 million fragments, each about 10 centimeters across, into space, a distribution sufficient to cause some of them to be found on Earth. Sections of the planet covered by debris (thus likely to be made up of older terrain) would require larger and h
