Most people would agree that, although
our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding
increase in wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define
"wisdom" and consider means of promoting it. There are several factors that
contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the
capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach
to each its due weight.
This has become more difficult than it
used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required
of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in
research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb
the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your
discoveries or inventions may have ou
A. how much more wisdom we have now than before
B. what wisdom is and how to develop it
C. if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age
D. whether wisdom can be developed or not

[单项选择] Passage Three
Most people would be impressed by the
high quality of medicine available to most Americans. There is a lot of
specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of
advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of
the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they
handle things badly.
But the Americans are in a mess. The
problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to
public belief, it is not just a free competition system. To the private system
has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not
looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.
But even with
this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion
dollars—more than 10 percent of the U.S. budget—large
A. occasional mistakes by careless doctors
B. a great deal of personal attention
C. low charge by doctors and hospitals
D. stacking nurses and bad services
[单项选择] Regeneration of Limbs
Most people would agree that it would be wonderful if humans could regenerate limbs. Those who have lost their arms or legs would be complete again. The day is still far off when this might happen. But in the last 10 years, doctors have reported regeneration in smaller parts of the body, most often fingers.
Regeneration is not a newly-discovered process. For centuries, scientists have seen it work in some kinds of animals. Break off a lizards (蜥蜴的) tail, for example, and it will grow a new tail. Scientists now are looking for a way to turn on this exciting ability in more highly-developed animals, including humans. Their experiments show that nerves, cell chemistry and the natural electric currents in the body all seem to have a part in this process.
The body of every animal contains general purpose cells that change into whatever kind of cells the body needs. Animals such as the lizard or salamander (蝾螈) use these cells
A. Scientists have lately found that a lizard will grow a new tail if the old one is broken off.
B. Regeneration is a process discovered centuries ago.
C. How severe a wound is determines the strength of the current flowing around it.
D. The lizard, unlike man, is a less-developed animal.
