一、2.ReadingComprehension(SkimmingandScanning)(20题)1.CommonFaultsandEyeMovement

Thereareanumberofbadhabitswhichpoorreadersadopt.Mostoftheseinvolveusingextrabodymovementinthereadingprocess.Inefficientreading,themusclesoftheeyeshouldmaketheonlyexternalmovement.Ofcoursetheremustbevigorousmentalactivity,butextrabodymovements,suchaspointingwiththefingerormovingthelips,donothelpreadingandoftenslowitdown~

POINTINGATWORDS

Afaultthatisoftenseenwhenstudentsaretryingtoconcentrateispointingtothewordswithafinger,pencilorruler.Youngchildrenandverypoorreadersoftenpointwithafingerateachwordinmm.Slightlymorematurereaderssometimesholdapencilorrulerunderneaththelinewhichtheyarereading.Whilemarkingthelinemightbehelpfulforbeginningreaders,itiscertainlyunnecessaryfornormalreaders.Besidesslowingdownthereaderthrough-themeremechanicalmovementofpencil,ruler,orfinger,pointingatlinesorwordstendstocausethestudenttofocushisattentiononthewrongthing.Theimportantthingtoconcentrateonwhilereadingistheidea.thattheauthoristryingtocommunicate,andnotthelocationofthewordsonthepage.Theeyesofanychildoldenoughtolearnhowtoreadarecertainlyskillfulenoughtobeabletofollowalineofprintwithoutextrahelpfromfingersorrulers.

Anothercommonfaultthatiseasilyobservedisheadmovement.Thismostoftenoccurswhenstudentsarenervousabouttheirreadingortryinghard,asduringareadingspeedtest.Withheadmovementthestudenttriestoaimhisnoseatthewordheisreadingsothatashereadsacrossthelinehisheadturnsslightly.Whenhemakesthereturnsweeptobeginanewlinehisheadquicklyturnsbacksothathisnoseispointedattheleft-handmargin,andhecannowbegintoreadthenewlinebyslowlyturninghishead.Thebeliefthatthisheadmovementaidsreadingispurenonsense.Eyemusclesarequitecapableofshiftingtheeyesfromwordtoword,andtheyneednohelpfromneckmuscles.

Oftenstudentsarequiteunawarethattheyaremovingtheirheadswhilereadingandtheyneedtoberemindedbytheteachernottodoit.

VOCALIZATION

Vocalizationisanotherfault.Somepoorreadersthinkitnecessarytopronouncealoudeachwordasitisread.Usuallythispronunciationisquitesoft,sothatthestudentismorewhisperingtohimselfthanactuallyreadingaloud,buteventhisisveryundesirable.Thechiefdisadvantageofpronouncingwordswhileyoureadthemisthatittendstotiereadingspeedtospeakingspeed,andthesilentreadingofmostnormalreadersisnearlytwiceasfastastheirspeaking.Usuallythisfaultcanbeeliminatedinolderstudentsbytheirownconsciouseffort,possiblywiththeaidofafewremindersfromtheteacher.

Vocalizationbybeginningreadersisacommonfault;afterareaderreachessomematurityitbecomesveryundesirable.

Vocalizationtakesvariousmodifiedforms.Sometimesareaderwillmerelymovehislipssoundlessly.Atothertimeshemaymaketongueorthroatmovementswithoutlipmovement.Stirotherreaderswillhaveactivitygoingonintheirvocalcords,whichcanbedetectedbythestudentifheplaceshisfingersalongsidehisvocalcordsinthethroatwhileheisreading.Vocalcordvibrationcanbefeltwiththefingersquiteeasily.Liketruevocalization,theseminorpartsof"subvocalization"—lipmovement,tongueorthroatmovementandvocalcordmovement—canbestoppedbyconsciouseffortofthestudent.

HIVVaccineFeatLeavesMoreQuestionsThanAnswers

OnlyhoursafterHIVvaccineresearchersannouncedtheachievementofamilestonethathaseludedthemforaquarterofacentury,theybeganplottingtheirnextsteps—andcomingbacktoreality.Theirultimategoal,haltingthespreadofAIDS,remainsfarinthefuture.AThaiandAmericanteamhadannouncedearlyThursdayinBangkokthattheyhadfoundacombinationofvaccinesthatprovidedmodestprotectionagainstinfectionwithHIV,offeringthefirstproofofprinciplethatthedeadlydiseasecouldbetamedbyteachingtheimmunesystemtorecognizethevirusanddefeatit.Scientistsaroundtheworldhailedtheachievement.

ButbyThursdayafternoon,theinitialwaveofjoyhadgivenwaytotherecognitionthatmanyquestionswillhavetobeansweredbeforeresearcherscanproduceavaccinethatwillreliablyshieldpeoplefromHIV.Forstarters,itcouldtakeyearstofigureoutthebiologicalmechanismsthatproducedtheapparent31~reductionininfectionsamongthosegiventhevaccinetreatment.

Researchershaveneverbeforeobservedantibodies(抗体)orothermoleculesinthebloodthatcouldblockaninfectionofHIV,thevirusthatcausesAIDS.Nowtheywilltrytofigureoutwhetherthiscombinationofvaccinesstimulatednewmolecules,orprovokedanunusualblendofonespreviouslyobserved.Expertspredictedthatitwouldrequire2to3yearsofresearchtobetterunderstandhowthevaccineworked,andanadditional5to10yearstoproduceavaccinethatwasreadytotestinpeople.SomeresearchersevenwonderedwhethertheapparentreductionininfectionswassimplyastatisticalmistakeresultingfromthesmallnumberofHIVcasesobservedinthetrial.

Theabundanceofunansweredquestionshasn'tsappedtheenthusiasmofmanyHIVresearchers.After26yearsofseeminglyfutileresearchonvaccines,theyhavefinallymadesomeprogressondemonstratingthefeasibilityofanHIVvaccine,saidDr.AnthonyFauci,directoroftheNationalInstituteofAllergyandInfectiousDiseases,whichlargelyfundedthe$120-millionstudy."Thisisthefirstpositivesignal—modestthoughitmaybe—thatwehaveevergotwithanyvaccinethatwehaveevertestedinhumans,"Faucisaid.But"isitavaccinethatisreadyforprimetime?No."

TheThaitrial,whichbeganin2003,hadbeenlaughedatbymanycriticsasawasteoftimeandmoneybecauseitstwovaccineshadproducednobenefitinindividualtrials.Butafewresearchersspeculatedthatusingthemtogether—withonevaccinepriming(开始修复)theimmunesystemandthesecondboostingthatresponse—wouldbemoreeffective.TheprimerinthiscombinationisAlvac,madebySanofiPasteur,whichusesaharmlessvirustocarrythreesyntheticHIVgenesintothebody.:TheboostcomesfromAidsvax,originallymadebyVaxGenInc.andnowownedbythenonprofitgroupGlobalSolutionsforInfectiousDiseases.ItcontainsageneticallyengineeredversionofaproteinfromtheHIVsurface.

11.DoesGeneticResearchThreatenOurCivilLiberties?

TheCurrentGeneticResearch

Thescienceofgeneticsisaflourishingnewindustry,nourishedinlargepartbythefederallyfundedHumanGenomeProject.Thegoalofthisambitiousresearchendeavoristoidentifyeverygenefoundinthehumanbody,perhaps100,000inall.Severalmonthsago,theU.S.governmentandaprivatecorporationannouncedthattheyhad"completed"the"map"ofthegenome,althoughactuallytherearestillmanygaps.Muchrelatedresearchfocusesongeneticdiagnostics--testsdesignedtoidentifygenesthoughttobeassociatedwithvariousmedicalconditions.Morethan50newgenetictestshavebeenidentifiedinthepastfiveyearsalone.

Theincreasingspeed,sophistication,affordability,andinterconnectivityofcomputersystemsallowtherapidmonitoringandmatchingofmanymillionsofrecords.A1994benchmarkstudybytheACLUfoundthat"concernsaboutpersonalprivacyrundeepamongtheAmericanpeople".

Thepromotionofanideologyofgeneticizationfostersthebeliefthatgenesaredeterminativeofanindividual'sbehavior,character,andfuture.Capitalisteconomicrelationshavecreatedascramble(争夺)forventurecapital,thealteringofpatentlaws,andcallsformassgenetictestingbyresearcherswhotradeontheoldimageofthealtruisticscientisttomasktheirconflictsofinterestintestinglabs,patents,consultingcontracts,etc.

TheTechnologicalSociety

Technologiesarenotvalue-neutral;theyusuallyembodytheperspectives,purposes,andpoliticalobjectivesofpowerfulsocialgroups.ThedominantideologyinWesternsocietyproclaimsthatscienceandtechnologyarevalue-neutral,andtheonlyproblemscausedbytechnologiesareeither"externalities"(unintendedsideeffects)orabuses.However,becausetechnologiesaretheresultofhumaninterventionsintotheotherwisenaturalprogressionofactivities(andnotactsofGodorofnature),theyarethemselvesactuallyimbuedwithhumanintentionsandpurposes.Currenttechnologiesdonotequallybenefitallsegmentsofsociety(andindeedarenotintendedtodoso),althoughtomaximizepublicsupportforthesedevelopmentsandtominimizepotentialopposition,theirproponentsrarelyacknowledgethesedistributionalramifications(分歧).

TheUnitedStatesisasocietyinwhichthedifferentialaccesstowealthandpowerhasbeenexacerbatedduringrecentyears.Thus,thosepeoplewithmorepowercandeterminethekindsoftechnologicaldevelopmentsthatareresearchedandimplemented.Becauseoftheirsize,scale,andrequirementsforcapitalinvestmentsandforknowledge,modemtechnologiesarepowerfulinterventionsintothenaturalorder.Theytendtobethemechanismsbywhichalreadypowerfulgroupsextend,manifest,andfurtherconsolidatetheirpowers.Thus,technologiesthemselvesarenotneutral;theyaresocialandpoliticalphenomena.Genetictechnologiesandcomputerizationexhibitthesecharacteristics,andreflectpowerdifferentialsinthesociety.
