14、ntSection Reading ComprehensionText 1Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educational ritual. Unfo
15、rtunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses, homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a students academic grade. This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might
16、have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives
17、, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.District administrators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, s
18、tudents can easily skip half their homework and see vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework he
19、lped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule.At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students academic a
20、chievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not make them count for almost nothing. Conversely, if homework does nothing to ensure that the homework students are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.The homework rules should be put on hold while the s
21、chool board, which is responsible for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_.A is receiving more criticismBis no longer an educational ritualCis n
22、ot required for advanced coursesDis gaining more preferences22.L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students_.Atend to have moderate expectations for their educationBhave asked for a different educational standardCmay have problems finishing their homeworkDhave voiced the
23、ir complaints about homework23.According to Paragraph 3,one problem with the policy is that it may_.Adiscourage students from doing homeworkBresult in students indifference to their report cardsCundermine the authority of state testsDrestrict teachers power in education24. As mentioned in Paragraph
24、4, a key question unanswered about homework is whether_. A it should be eliminatedBit counts much in schoolingCit places extra burdens on teachersDit is important for grades25.A suitable title for this text could be_.AWrong Interpretation of an Educational PolicyBA Welcomed Policy for Poor StudentsC
25、Thorny Questions about HomeworkDA Faulty Approach to Homework Text 2Pretty in pink: adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pervasive in our young girls lives. It is not that pink intrinsically bad, but it is a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate g
26、irlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fused girls identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls lives and inter
27、ests.Girls attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, its not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white a
28、s a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. Whats more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses. When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was as
29、sociated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant childrens marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem i
30、nnately attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I ass
31、umed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into childrens behaviour: wrong. Turns out, according to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing gimmick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.Trade publications counseled department
32、 stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a third stepping stone between infant wear and older kids clothes. It was only after toddler became common shoppers term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories ha
33、s proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences or invent them where they did not previously exist.26. By saying it is . The rainbow(line 3, Para 1), the author means pink _.A should not be the sole representation of girlhoo
34、dB should not be associated with girls innocence C cannot explain girls lack of imagination D cannot influence girls lives and interests 27. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours?A Colors are encoded in girls DNA B Blue used to be regarded as the color for girls C Pink
35、used to be a neutral color in symbolizing genders D White is preferred by babies 28. The author suggests that our perception of childrens psychological devotement was much influenced by _.A the marketing of products for children B the observation of childrens nature C researches into childrens behav
36、ior D studies of childhood consumption 29. We may learn from Paragraph 4 that department stores were advised _.A focuses on infant wear and older kids clothes B attach equal importance to different genders C classify consumers into smaller groups D create some common shoppers terms 30. It can be con
37、cluded that girls attraction to pink seems to be _.A clearly explained by their inborn tendency B fully understood by clothing manufacturers C mainly imposed by profit-driven businessmen D well interpreted by psychological expertsText 3In 2010. a federal judge shook Americas biotech industry to its
38、core. Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades-by 2005 some 20% of human genes were patented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO), a trade group, assured members that this was ju
39、st a “preliminary step” in a longer battle.On July 29th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a womans risk of breast cancer. The chief executive of Myriad
40、, a company in Utah, said the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike.But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine, the courts will remain rather busy. The Myriad case itself is probably not over. Critics make three main arguments against gene patents: a gene is a prod
41、uct of nature, so it may not be patented; gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it; and patents monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriads. A growing number seem to agree. Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests. In October the
42、Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule “is no less a product of nature. than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds.”Despite the appeals courts decision, big questions remain unanswered. For example, it is unclear whether t
43、he sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it. The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.AS the industry advances, however, other suits may have an even greater impact. Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules - most are already pat
44、ented or in the public domain .firms are now studying how genes interact, looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drugs efficacy. Companies are eager to win patents for connecting the dots, explains Hans Sauer, a lawyer for the BIO.Their success ma
45、y be determined by a suit related to this issue, brought by the Mayo Clinic, which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term. The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents. Each meeting was packed.31. It can be learned from parag
46、raph I that the biotech companies would like_A. their executives to be activeB. judges to rule out gene patentingC. genes to be patentableD. the BIO to issue a warning32. Those who are against gene patents believe that_A. genetic tests are not reliableB. only man-made products are patentableC. patents ongenes depend much on innovationsD. courts should restrict access to genetic tests33. According to Hans Sauer, companies are eager to win patents for_A. establishing disease correlationsB. discovering gene interactionsC. drawing pictures of genesD. identifying human DNA
