Question

【題目】 Answer the questions. (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)

“More young people should study Science", Hazel Wallace, a Science teacher from London, said at a conference for young scientists last weekend." More young people should take Science subjects at school and study them at university, "she said." Scientists can change the world and can improve life for everyone. We also need more people who want to teach science and do scientific research."

But there was bad news from Professor George Benson, a research scientist and university Science teacher, who was also at the conference." Science courses at university are very good," he said, "but there’s a real problem with Science teaching in schools. One in three people who teach Physics to 15-and 16-years-olds don’t have a physical degree. Not enough people are studying Science at university and this means that there are not enough science teachers."

Mrs Wallace didn’t agree." It’s true that the number of Science pupils fell between 2000 and 2010."She said ." But now the numbers are rising again. The number of students who take Science subjects at school is much higher now than it was five years ago."

Professor Benson was certain that numbers were still too low and added, "There’s still a problem with science lessons in schools. Most young people think that Science is boring or difficult or both. We have to find ways to interest 12-16 years olds in studying Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Old-fashioned teaching methods have to change, We must spread the news that Science is very important, but it can also be fun."

【1】What does Hazel Wallace do?

【2】Who was the conference for?

【3】The number of science pupils is still falling now, isn’t it?

【4】According to Benson, what can teachers do to make Science lessons more interesting?

【5】What might be the topic of the conference?

【6】Will you choose Science as your major at university? Why or Why not?(Explain in 2-3 sentences.)

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】(She is) a Science teacher.

【2】(It was for) young scientists.

【3】No, it isn’t.

【4】They can change their old-fashioned teaching methods.

【5】More young people should study science. / More science pupils are needed. / The future of science teaching. (Any reasonable answers are acceptable)

【6】Yes, I will. I like science and I want to be a scientist in the future. Scientists can change the world and can improve life for everyone. / No, I won’t. I hate science subjects. They are boring and difficult.

【解析】

本文介紹了現(xiàn)在在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)的人數(shù)正在上升，但是仍然沒有足夠多的科學(xué)老師。要想讓科學(xué)課有趣，必須改變老式的教學(xué)方法。

【1】根據(jù)“More young people should study Science", Hazel Wallace, a Science teacher from London,可知，Hazel Wallace是一位科學(xué)教師，故填(She is) a Science teacher。

【2】根據(jù)a conference for young scientists last weekend.可知，這次會(huì)議是為了年輕的科學(xué)家。故填(It was for) young scientists。

【3】根據(jù)Mrs Wallace didn’t agree." It’s true that the number of Science pupils fell between 2000 and 2010."She said ." But now the numbers are rising again. The number of students who take Science subjects at school is much higher now than it was five years ago."可知，理科學(xué)生的人數(shù)現(xiàn)在還在上升，不是下降，因此用否定回答，故填No, it isn’t。

【4】根據(jù)Old-fashioned teaching methods have to change,可知，根據(jù)本森的觀點(diǎn)，老師們可以改變老式的教學(xué)方法，來使科學(xué)課更有趣，故填They can change their old-fashioned teaching methods。

【5】“More young people should study Science", Hazel Wallace, a Science teacher from London, said at a conference for young scientists last weekend." More young people should take Science subjects at school and study them at university, "she said.可知，這個(gè)會(huì)議的主題可能是“更多的年輕人應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)，”故填More young people should study science. / More science pupils are needed. / The future of science teaching. (Any reasonable answers are acceptable)。

【6】根據(jù)We must spread the news that Science is very important, but it can also be fun.可知，我會(huì)選擇科學(xué)，我喜歡科學(xué)，認(rèn)為科學(xué)在未來很重要，根據(jù)Most young people think that Science is boring or difficult or both.可知，我不會(huì)選擇科學(xué)，因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)是無聊的或者困難的。故填Yes, I will. I like science and I want to be a scientist in the future. Scientists can change the world and can improve life for everyone. / No, I won’t. I hate science subjects. They are boring and difficult。
