Insane terrorists, political fingerpointing, a string of awful hurricanes, you name it, all filling the headlines with grim reminders that life arent

2、 so peachy. Even reading the smaller stories in national publications seems to indicate that the world is run by gruwnups, and theyre busy taking the fun out of everything.The other day I was browsing through one of those magazines that explain serious science news to us dumbbells, and came across a

3、n item which announced that two different companies have perfected a pill that contains all the good-for-you stuff found in a glass of red wine and is completely non-alcoholic.Now Im sure there are other adults out there who, like me, were pleasantly surprised to learn that a little tipple of pinot

4、noir with the roast duckling might not turn one into a slobbering drunk but may actually be beneficial to your health. The news was a single candle, lit in a world of darkness, easing a tiny part of that big rock of guilt we constantly lug uphill.Of course, the minute the news got around, some Itali

5、an scientists began putting that age-old innocent beverage through a freeze-drying process that preserved the benefits while removing the alcohol along with all that unnecessary enjoyment. Swell news for teetotalers, but just another indication that our main focus is on getting through each grim day

6、 without a moment of relief.Sound far-fetched? Even comic books (a main source of amusement, when I was a tad) have become literary vehicles for philosophical messages. I figure its all a big plot. Something probably cooked up by mommies and dictators and insurance companies and people who play thei

7、r boom boxes too loudly. Just to make sure that you and I are prevented from squeezing a dollop of guilt-free enjoyment from a modest amount of fermented grape juice.Mark my words, the next great leap in science wont be in the field of cloning or DNA research or rocket science. What theyll do is dev

But with ears glued to their transistor radios they heed Duforts call not to oppose the landings. They desert en masse. Police open jail cells before shed

30、 comer from the Discovery Institute, Stephen Meyer offers some peer-reviewed evidence that there truly is a controversy that must be taught. “The Darwinists are bluffing,“ he says over a plate of oysters at a downtown seafood restaurant. “They have the science of the steam engine era, and its not ke

31、eping up with the biology of the information age.“Meyer hands me a recent issue of Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews with an article by Carl Woese, an eminent microbiologist at the University of Illinois. In it, Woese decries the failure of reductionist biologythe tendency to look at system

32、s as merely the stun of their partsto keep up with the developments of molecular biology. Meyer says the conclusion of Woeses argument is that the Darwinian emperor has no clothes.Its a page out of the antievolution playbook: using evolutionary biologys own literature against it, selectively quoting

33、 from the likes of Stephen Jay Gould to illustrate natural selections downfalls. The institute marshals journal articles discussing evolution to provide policymakers with evidence of the raging controversy surrounding the issue.Woese scoffs at Meyers claim when I call to ask him about the paper. “To

34、 say that my criticism of Darwinists says that evolutionists have no clothes,“ Woese says, “is like saying that Einstein is criticizing Newton, therefore Newtonian physics is wrong.“ Debates about evolutions mechanisms, he continues, dont amount to challenges to the theory. And intelligent design “i

35、s not science. It makes no predictions and doesnt offer any explanation whatsoever, except for God did it.“Of course Meyer happily acknowledges that Woese is an ardent evolutionist. The institute doesnt need to impress Woese or his peers; it can simply co-ocpt the vocabulary of science “academic fre

36、edom,“ “scientific objectivity,“ “teach the controversy“and redirect it to a public trying to reconcile what appear to be two contradictory scientific views. By appealing to a sense of fairness, ID finds a place at the political table, and by merely entering the debate it can claim victory. “We dont

37、 need to win every argument to be a success,“ Meyer says. “Were trying to validate a discussion thats been long suppressed.“This is precisely what happened in Ohio. “Im not a PhD in biology,“ says board member Michael Cochran. “But when I have X number of PhD experts telling me this, and X number te

38、lling me the opposite, the answer is probably somewhere between the two.“An exasperated Krauss claims that a truly representative debate would have had 10,000 pro-evolution scientists against two Discovery executives. “What these people want is for there to be a debate,“ says Krauss. “People in the

39、audience say, Hey, these people sound reasonable. They argue, People have different opinions, we should present those opinions in school. That is nonsense. Some people have opinions that the Holocaust never happened, but we dont teach that in history.“Eventually, the Ohio board approved a standard m

40、andation that students learn to “describe how scientists continue to investigate and critically analyze aspects of evolutionary theory.“ Proclaiming victory, Johnson barnstormed Ohio churches soon after notifying congregations of a new, ID-friendly standard. In response, anxious board members added

41、a clause stating that the standard “does not mandate the teaching or testing of intelligent design.“ Both sides claimed victory. A press release from IDNet trumpeted the mere inclusion of the phrase intelligent design, saying that “the implication of the statement is that the teaching of testing of

42、intelligent design is permitted.“ Some pro-evolution scientists, meanwhile, say theres nothing wrong with teaching students how to scrutinize theory. “I dont have a problem with that,“ says Patricia Princehouse, a professor at Case Western Reserve and an outspoken oppnent of ID. “Critical analysis i

43、s exactly what scientists do.“（分数：10.00）(1).Stephen Meyer seems to be criticizing Darwinists because _.（分数：2.00）A.the evidence for their theories is peer-reviewedB.they were born in the age of steam engineC.their theories are already out of dateD.they can not catch up with the information tecbnology

44、(2).What does Woese mean when he answers back for his remark “. evolutionists have no clothes?“（分数：2.00）A.His criticism of Darwinists should not be understood as the denial of itB.Clothes themselves are not what evolutionists are interested inC.Einstein is right when he is criticizing Newtonian phys

45、icsD.Einsteinian physics is an improvement on Newtonian physics(3).Why did Meyer initiate the debate between him and Woese as he claimed?（分数：2.00）A.To make it possible the alternative use of the vocabulary of science.B.To reconcile what appear to be two contradictory scientific views.C.To claim vict

46、ory for the views which are so significant.D.To establish the soundness of a discussion thats been long suppressed.(4).What does the “exasperated Krauss“ mean when he talks about the adience?（分数：2.00）A.He disagrees there should be a representative debate.B.He stresses that what these people require

47、is reasonable.C.He insists that different opinions should be presented in school.D.He rejects the idea that we should teach whatever is presented.(5).Which of the following is NOT one of the responses to the standard approved by the Ohio board?（分数：2.00）A.Many of ID scholars expressed friendly-welcom

48、e to the standardB.Some anxious board members suggested an additional clauseC.IDNet understood the standard as a permission of teaching or testing of intelligent designD.Pro-evolution scientists claimed that critical analysis is exactly what scientists should doBPassage Four/BChanges in art and cult

49、ural history have never been easy to assimilate to political or economic changes. But perhaps we have enough evidence to show that particular sub-ideologies, combined with or supported by a bureaucratic upsurge, have caused, or been associated with, what appear to be downhill trends. Different generations naturally engender different styles. No harm in that. Still, it can be argued that some fashions in the field are less troublesome than others.In an analysis of this sort
