问题详情:
Last year my sixth-grader daughter, Elizabeth, was forced to put up with science. Her education, week after week, contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte”. She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fusion (核聚变)”. Actually, she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means. Elizabeth did very well (she’s good at memorizing things). And now she hates science. My eighth-grader son, Ben, also suffered from science education. Week after week he had to perform lab experiments with answers already known. Ben figured out how to guess the right answers, so he got good grades. Now he hates science, too.
Science can provide an exciting way to develop children’s curiosity. Science education should teach ways to ask questions and seek answers. But my children got the mistaken idea in school that science is difficult, dull and has no relation to their everyday interests.
As a physicist, I am saddened and angered to see “the great science turnoff”. I know that science is important in our lives. Yet studies prove that our schools are turning out millions of graduates who know almost nothing about and have almost no interest in science. What’s gone wrong? Who is to blame?
21. We learn from paragraph 1 that ______________.
A. the writer was proud of Elizabeth and Ben
B. Neither Elizabeth nor Ben likes science
C. Elizabeth learned much about nuclear fusion
D. Ben was good at trying new ideas in lab experiments
22. The writer thinks that in science education we should first ______________.
A. get students interested in the subject
B. answer students’ questions in delightful ways
C. smooth out difficulties in lab experiments
D. explain the special terms clearly
23. By writing the text, the author questions ______________.
A. the difficulty level of the science texts
B. the way science is taught in school
C. the achievements of famous scientists
D. students’ poor records in science classes
24. Why is the author angry to see “the great science turnoff”?
A. Because he is a chemist.
B. Because he has two children at school.
C. Because schools nowadays do no work.
D. Because he thinks highly of science in our lives.
