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 fu-sion（核聚变） “—never mind that she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means .Eliza—beth 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 week answers .But my children got the mistaken idea in school than 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 ?
58．We learn from paragraph 1 that .
A．the writer was proud of Elizabeth and Ben

60．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 classes58.C59.A60.B

(答案→)58.C59.A60.B 解析：58.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists...”可推断出Elizabeth必须学习许多有关伟大科学家的事情。59.解析：这是一道主旨题。第二段“Science can provide an exciting way to develop children’s curiosity.Science education should teach ways to ask questions and seek answers.”表示作者认为应该让学生对所学学科感兴趣。60.解析：这是一道主旨题。从这篇短文不难看出作者对学校教科学的方法产生了疑问。所以他在短文的最后说：What’s gone wrong?Who is to blame?
