1、考研英语(阅读)模拟试卷 369 及答案与解析Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)0 Some time ago, a highly charged argument was set in motion. It pitted evolution against the Creation. One side of this debate relies on scientific inqui
2、ry, and the other relies on ancient mythological texts. Thats my view. Thats what I intend to teach my children.Yet I have no interest in foisting this curriculum on your kids. Nor am I particularly distressed that a creationist theory may collide one day with the tiny eardrums of my precocious offs
3、pring. Which brings me to the Texas Board of Education s recent landmark compromise between evolutionary science and related religious concerns in public-school textbooks. The board cautiously crafted an arrangement that requires teachers to allow students to scrutinize “all sides“ of the issue. Thi
4、s decision is widely seen as a win for pro-creationistsor wait, are they called anti-evolutionists?“Texas has sent a clear message that evolution should be taught as a scientific theory open to critical scrutiny, not as a sacred dogma that cant be questioned,“ explained John West, who is a senior fe
5、llow at the Discovery Institute, which argued that students in Texas should have a right to review “all of the evidence“.What damage is there in challenging assumptions and “dogma“? None, of course. We should be fostering critical thinking in our youth. Allowing an inquiry into evolution, I believe,

7、cause the boards chairman believes that God created the universe less than 10,000 years ago(based, no doubt, on faith alone). On the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwins birth, Gallup conducted a poll that showed only 39 percent of Americans say they “believe in the theory of evolution“, while 25 pe
8、rcent of Americans say they do not believe in the theory. Thirty-six percent dont have an opinion.The most sensible solution, of course, would be to permit parents a choice so that they can send their kids to schools that cater to any brand of nonsense they desireoutside of three core subjects.The l
9、eft never will allow any genuine choice in our school systems. So it seems highly disagreeable and political to trap kids in public schools and, at the same time, decide where schools fall on controversial issues. To scrutinize “all sides“ is no sin. And in the decidedly collective school systems we

14、th parents and students on important issues(D)have developed an intelligent solution to the issue of evolution5 The question of what we find attractive in others and what we can do to enhance our own best assets is a major preoccupation during at least some part of our lives. Sadly, the ideal lovers
15、 of sexual fantasies are usually completely unrealistic because our relationship to them is over-simplistic, lacking intimacy, bonding, or emotional commitment. A principal pleasure in imagining seducing or being seduced by your fantasy lover is his or her unavailability in real life. Understanding
16、the secrets of attraction will enable you to relate to others in a more fulfilling way.Of course people do grow to love people over time, while “love at first sight“ is sometimes lost. Nothing in life is concrete; we change in our tastes all the time. What and who we find attractive is highly fluidw
17、e are all friends with at least one person whom we did not like when we first met them. In the same way that first impressions about people can be completely wrong, our feelings of attraction are sometimes unreliable.The surer you are of your own likes and dislikes the more attractive you are to oth
18、ers, because self-confidence is usually rated as being attractive. But remember that being a good listener, together with showing sensitivity to the feelings of those around you, can be equally attractive. Your aesthetic intuition counts for a lot. Be careful how much you let your intrusive intellec

Tune in to your own body language as you come close to someone of the opposite sex.Continually reminding yourself that you are able to change your mind about other people and what attracts you to them is a way of escaping the limitations
20、in life that we all too often construct around us. As you enhance your love of variety and your love affair with life, so your love of yourself will grow. By trying to be optimistic and positive you can obtain a much greater level of contentment in your life, and develop an understanding that a wide
21、r scope of what is attractive to you in other people will greatly enhance the likelihood of your meeting someone to whom you are very attracted and who is attracted to you.
