　　MBA、MPA、MPAcc英語二閱讀理解練習(xí)題及答案解析

　　一月聯(lián)開是唯一一個可以獲得在職研究生雙證的報考形式，而且，學(xué)員的檔案、戶口還可以自己調(diào)轉(zhuǎn)。因此，每年報考的人數(shù)都很多，考生間的壓力也隨之存在。為了幫助更多的學(xué)員可以順利通過考試，中國在職研究生招生信息網(wǎng)的老師整理了以下練習(xí)試題，希望對考生有所幫助。

　　Children live in a world in which science has tremendous importance. During their lifetimes, it will affect them more and more. In time, many of them will work at jobs that depend heavily on science — for example, concerning energy sources, pollution control, highway safety, wilderness conservation, and population growth. As taxpayers, they will pay for scientific research and exploration. And, as consumers, they will be bombarded(受到轟擊)by advertising, much of which is said to be based on science.

　　Therefore, it is important that children, the citizens of the future, become functionally acquainted with science — with the process and spirit of science, as well as with its facts and principles. Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter — flashlights, tools, echoes and rainbows.

　　Besides, science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyse ideas. It can provide practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no area of the curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it is geography, history, language arts, music, or art!

　　Above all, good science teaching leads to what might be called a “scientific attitude”. Those who possess it seek answers through observing, experimenting, and reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice, through guided participation, is needed.

　　A.work in scientific research institutions
