S3._________To understand how thistransformation has taken placewemust briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over aS4.________million year evolving asco-operative hunters.

S10._______02.6A great many cities are experiencing difficulties whichare nothing new in the history of cities, except in their scale.Some cities have lost their original purpose and have not foundnew one. And any large or rich city is going to attract poorS1._________immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of prosperityS2._________which are then often disappointing.

DescriptionsS4._________written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor of Mexico City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found there,S5._________are very dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City today －theS6._________poor can still be numbered in millions.The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity,but behind it lies two myths: the myth of the city as aS7._________promised land, that attracts immigrants from rural povertyS8._________and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of theS9._________country as a Garden of Eden, which,a few generations late,S10._________sends them flooding out again to the suburbs.03.6The Seattle Times Company is one newspaper firm thathas recognized the need for change and done something aboutit.

S5________Teachers in schools tend to present science as a collection of facts, often by more detail than necessary. As a result, S6________children memorize processes such as mathematical formulasor the periodic table, only to forget it shortly afterwards. The S7________task of learning facts and concepts, one at a time, makeslearning laborious, boring and efficient. Such a purely S8________empirical approach, which consists of observation anddescription, is also, in a sense, unscientific or incomplete.There is therefore a need for resources and methods ofteaching that facilitates a deep understanding of science in S9________an enjoyable way. Science should not only be ‘fun’ in thesame way as playing a video game, but ‘hard fun’----a deepfeeling of connection made possibly only by imaginative S10________engagement.06年12月新六级The National Endowment for the Arts recently releasedthe results of its “Reading at Risk” survey, which describedthe movement of the American public away from books and literature and toward televisionand electronic media.According to the survey, “reading is on the decline on every S1________region, within every ethnic group, and at every educational level.”The day the NEA report released, the U.S. House, in a tie S2________vote, upheld the government’s right to obtain bookstore andlibrary records under a provision of the USA Patriot Act. TheHouse proposal would have barred the federal governmentfrom demand library records, reading lists, book customer S3________lists and other material in terrorism and intelligence investigations. These two events are completely unrelated to, yet theyS4________echo each other in the message they send about the place ofbooks and reading in American culture. At the heartof the NEA survey is the belief in our democratic S5________system depends on leaders who can think critically, analyzetexts and writing clearly. All of these are skills promoted by S6________reading and discussing books and literature. At the same time, through a provision of the Patriot Act, the leaders of ourcountry are unconsciously sending the message that readingmay be connected to desirable activities that might S7________undermine our system of government rather than helping democracy flourish.Our culture’s decline in reading begin well before the S8________existence of the Patriot Act.
