If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school 36 , however, has no such choice, for the job must be 47 on at the same time. Because we depend so 38 upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce 39 in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to 40 the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is 41 by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative 42 among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and 43 knowledge. The attention of the public is 44 drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, 45 materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.

Women with low literacy suffer disproportionately more than men, encountering more 36 in finding a well-paying job and being twice as likely to end up in the group of lowest wage earners, a study released on Wednesday said.
Analysis by the Institute for Women’s Police Research (IWPR) found women at all levels of 37 tend to earn less than men, but it’s at the lowest literacy levels that the wage gap between genders in most striking.
Women with low literacy are twice as 38 as men at the same skill level to be among the lowest earners, bringing in $300 a week or less, the report said.
“Because women start off so low in terms of wages, having higher literacy and more skills really 39 a big difference,”said Kevin Miller, a 40 research associate at IWPR and co-author of the study.
Women need to go 41 in their training and education level to earn the same as men, Miller said.

(06-6) 介词in后面加名词，正确答案是strength，这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候，海洋温度上升，导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子：Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法，用句子结构来判断，前面一句话，husbands and children now do some of these jobs，这是一个完整的句子，主语husbands and children，谓语动词do，宾语some of these jobs；后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句，它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词，而定语从句的中心词是名词，所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法，根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断，横线处应该填一个名词，而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了，这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词：动词的考点很多，我们来看其中三种： 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明：He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里，主语是he，本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语，但是这里没有动词，而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers，这样这句话就缺少谓语动词，所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid，这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师，

On May 10th Paul Otellini，the boss of Intel，a big American chipmaker，put the price of a new chip factory at around $10 billion. Happily for those that lack Intel's resources，there may be a cheaper option—namely to mimic Mother Nature， who has been building tiny（4）__________，in the form of living cells and their components，for billions of years，and has thus got rather good at it.

Previous work has isolated the protein that makes these miniature compasses. Using genetic engineering，the team managed to persuade a different bacterium—Escherichia coli，a ubiquitous critter that is a workhorse of biotechnology—to（7）__________ this protein in bulk. Next，they imprinted a block of gold with a microscopic chessboard pattern of chemicals. Half the squares contained anchoring points for the protein. The other half were left untreated as controls. They then dipped the gold into a solution containing the protein，allowing it to bind to the treated squares，and dunked the whole lot into a heated（8）__________ of iron salts. After that，they examined the results with an electron microscope. Sure enough，groups of magnetite grains had materialised on the treated squares，shepherded into place by the bacterial protein. In principle，each of these magnetic domains could store the one or the zero of a bit of information，according to how it was polarised.

英语六级选词填空题解题技巧分析 选词填空对于众多考生而言，有一定的难度。命题人选择一篇长度在230个单词左右的文章，从中挖去10个单词，文章后面提供15个备选项，要求考生选择合适的选项填入文章，使整篇文章能够通顺、流畅。选词填空要求考生既要看懂文章的大意，又要认识并了解所列单词的词性和基本搭配。该部分测试重点在于把握文章的结构，主要考查考生对诸如：连贯性、一致性、逻辑关系等语篇、语段整体特征以及单词在实际语境中运用的理解，即要求考生在理解全文的基础上弄清文章的宏观结构并具体细化到对每个单词的微 观理解上面。其目的是测试学生综合运用语言的能力，考查学生对文章的理解能力以及运用词汇和语法结构的能力。 一、根据其题型特点，考生要做到： 1.掌握词汇、语法、阅读技能等基础知识，并具有较强的语言综合运用能力。 2.具备一定的词汇运用能力。 大学英语教学要求学生具有识别生词和辨析词义的能力，要求学生能够辨析意义相近的词、用法相近的词。所以该题的干扰项往往会以同义词、近义词、反义词或形近异义词的形式出现。固定搭配以动词、形容词、
副词、介词构成的居多，在选词填空中，主要以副词和介词为考点。这要求考生在平时的英语学习中，掌握主要的固定搭配和习惯用法，重视对结构和语法的掌握。 3.具备语境逻辑判断能力 选词填空的一个主要方面是考查学生对某一段落或者某几个句子之间的逻辑关系的判断和把握，尤其是对句与句之间的逻辑关系的理解。这要求考生熟记表示列举、原因、结果、让步、递进、转折、对照、补充、时间、目的、条件等不同逻辑关系的连接词。 二、选词填空考查的是考生对文章的整体理解，因此选词填空题的解题步骤为： 1.跳读全文，把握大意 考生首先应快速通读全文，了解文章的中心思想，通过对文章的分析，把握文章的背景、主题，结合每段的首句和末句，把握文章的结构。 2.阅读选项，词性分类 接下来要仔细阅读选项。因为选项是单词，而非句子或语段，所以考试难度就大大下降了，考生应根据词
