Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science. Scientific research in physics and biol
3、ogy has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe, it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited
4、us in nearly every part of life. The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and bett
5、er protection of the environment. Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the
6、continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actu
7、ally been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals. William Shakespeare said. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill together. The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activitiesscience seems to p
8、rove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?72. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(=Paragraph 1, =Paragraph 2, =Paragraph 3, =Paragraph 4, =Paragraph 5)73. From the fourth pa

10、earth74. The underlined word mingled in the last paragraph most probably means_.A. simpleB. mixedC. sadD. happy75. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?A. Further application of science to war.B. More reading of William Shakespeare.C. Proper use of science
11、in the new century.D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill. 2)Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for
12、 finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered having more honest
13、y than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have mor
14、e honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be
15、able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly”qualifies required.This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractivenes
