21、Public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and manufacture. Most governments, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise has brought in the past and will bring in the future. Politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines “our scientists” have invented, the new drugs to relieve old disorders, and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previously unmanageable conditions may now be treated and lives saved. At the same time, the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to “economics needs”, and that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are “near the market” and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. Dependent, as they are, on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to comply. Like the rest of us, they are members of a society that rates the creation of wealth as the greatest possible good. Many have reservations, but keep them to themselves in what they perceive as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding for its own sake and the idea of an inquiring, creative spirit.

In such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are suspicious of conflicts of interest. When we learn that the distinguished professor assuring us of the safety of a particular product holds a consultancy with the company making it, we cannot be blamed for wondering whether his fee might conceivably cloud his professional judgment. Even if the professor holds no consultancy with any firm, some people may still distrust him because of his association with those who do, or at least wonder about the source of some of his research funding.

This attitude can have damaging effects. It questions the integrity of individuals working in a profession that prizes intellectual honesty as the supreme virtue, and plays into the hands of those who would like to discredit scientists by representing them as corruptible. This makes it easier to dismiss all scientific pronouncements, but especially those made by the scientists who present themselves as “experts”. The scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor, for example, is a nuclear engineer, and a nuclear engineer is most likely to be employed by the nuclear industry. If a nuclear engineer declares that a reactor is unsafe, we believe him, because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it. If he tells us it is safe, on the other hand, we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary.

A．The reduction of public expenditure.

B．Quick economic returns.

A．some of them do not give priority to intellectual honesty

24、Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.

Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.

National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill.”

Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.

This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.

“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.”

【1】Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?

A. Old televisions.   B. Old computers.

C. Old cell phones.   D. Old newspapers.

【2】Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?

A. Because it can not be recycled.

B. Because the landfills are already full.

C. Because it might damage the environment.

D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.

【3】According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?

A. Recycling it.   B. Selling it.

C. Burying it. D. Breaking it.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.

B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.

C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.

D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Cold wind swept through the weathered coats of five-year-old Rebecca and her mother as they searched their small yard for the source of a faint quack (鸭叫). “Over here, mommy,” Rebecca pointed under a bush.

The source of this noise was a small skinny brown wild duck that was limping (跛行) around on only one good foot. They got down on their knees in the freezing cold，and cornered the duck against an old wooden fence. Rebecca’s mom gently grabbed the helpless duck. It put up little resistance since it was tired and hungry.

They took it inside the small wooden house. Rebecca’s mom looked closer at the homeless creature. One of its legs was injured. It was in pretty bad shape. “ Maybe we should take it to the animal clinic.” Rebecca said.

“But Rebecca, the clinic is probably closed now, being it’s Christmas Eve.” And in the back of her mind, she thought to herself, “I don’t know if we can afford an expensive bill right now.”

But looking at the poor little duck that seemed like it was near the end of its rope, Rebecca’s mom decided to try their luck. They wrapped the weak duck in an old worn towel. Its neck extended out and down from the towel. They walked out into the icy cold evening, with the sun just setting below the horizon. As they walked down the street, the duck made a faint “quaaaack” in desperation. The evening grew darker and colder by the moment.

After a couple of blocks, they noticed a white sign up ahead with black letters ‘Animal Clinic’. But their hopes were dashed (破灭) as they stared at a darkened storefront and a ‘Closed’ sign.

“What do we do now?” she thought to herself, both cold and tired.

Suddenly Rebecca noticed there was light inside.
