Weis, a biology professor who serves as president of the American Institute of Biological Sciences(AIBS) is leading a nationwide effort to“ de

8、fend“ the theory of evolution. Weis leads the effort in the face of what the institute views as opposition and indifference from school boards and government entities.The Institute believes that the teaching of evolution in America is being diminished by the teaching of creationism as well as by an

9、overall lack of teaching Darwins theory in high school. “Theres nothing that requires schools to teach evolution. Sometimes teachers in high schools just leave it out. However from the point of view of biologists, evolution is the central theory of biology upon which everything is based,“ said Weis.

10、 “Unfortunately, teaching evolution has become a political issue in many parts of the country and AIBS, as a representative of biologists, wanted to be a major force speaking out in favor of its teaching. “Weis said the institute is working together with the American Geological Institute and the Nat

11、ional Association of Biology Teachers and its 80 - plus member organizations to address the political and legislative threats to teaching evolution. In states challenging its teaching, the institute responds by sending letters to school boards and state legislatures, by providing testimony at public

12、 meetings and by notifying members and affiliated organizations. AIBS, with more than 80 member societies and 250,000 members, has established an email system enabling scientists and teachers in each state, and member societies, to keep each other informed about threats to the teaching of evolution.

13、Darwins theory of evolution holds that living things change and adapt to their environment and that present - day species (including human beings) are descended from earlier species through modification by natural selection. The theory has been accepted by scientists for nearly 100 years, Weis said,

14、 and has been refined, extended and strengthened over the years by findings, in developmental biology. Discoveries in genetics, molecular biology and genomics - all of which provide significant benefits for human health - would not be possible without the underlying knowledge of evolution. And, Weis

15、 adds,“ modern molecular biology and genomics have increased our understanding of how evolution works. “Nonetheless, evolution remains a politically, if not scientifically, controversial issue.Weis said that this year alone, seven states have had either local or statewide efforts to water down the t

16、eaching of evolution, or“ balance“ it with the teaching of creationism - a religious belief that different species were created separately by a higher power, such as God. “Rarely does anyone now use the word creationsm , because thats too obvious. “Weis said, “The current terminology is intelligent

20、00)Alaska1 In 1858 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state, symbolizing a change of attitude that hold in 1867, when the peninsula was purchased from Russi a. Then, most Americans had little interest in 1,500.000 square kilometers “of icebergs and polar bear“beyond Canadas western

21、 borders, far from the settled areas of the United States.2 In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bear. Ice buried in the earth, which is permanently frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, th

22、e midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two - thirds of a meter down.3 Alaska is Americas largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. According to estimates, 800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only ab

23、out 640,000 hectares are being cultivated.4 Arctic Alaska has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait, named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage fo

24、r Russia in 1741. The Eskimos are the states earliest known inhabitants. Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed.5 In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border.

25、 Thousand of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike; some never returned. Alaska was never completely cut off again, although even today transportation is a major problem.

N. Security Council meeting in New York. On the

32、 agenda: how to rid the world of nuclear weapons. The summit is the latest step in the administrations campaign to eliminate nukes.The efforts to eliminate nukesare all grounded in the same proposition: that nuclear weapons represent the“ gravest threat“ to U. S. security. This argument has a lot go

33、ing for it. Its also popular; U.S. presidents have been making similar noises since the Eisenhower administration, and halting the spread of nukes( if not eliminating them altogether) is one of the few things Obama, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu can all agree on. Theres just one problem with

34、 the reasoning : it may well be wrong.A growing and compelling body of research suggests that nuclear weapons may not, in fact, make the World more dangerous. The bomb may actually make us safer. This argument rests on two deceptively simple observations. First, nuclear weapons have not been used si

35、nce 1945. Second, theres never been a nuclear war, or even a nonnuclear war between two states that possess them. Just stop for a second and think about that : its hard to overstate how remarkable it is. especially given the singular viciousness of the 20th century. As Kenneth Waltz, the leading“ nu

36、clear optimist“ and a professor of political science at UC Berkeley puts it,“ We now have 64 years of experience since Hiroshi- ma. Its striking and against all historical precedent that for that substantial period, there has not been any war among nuclear states. “To understand why the next 64 year

37、s are likely to play out the same wayIyou need to start by recognizing that all states are rational on some basic level. Their leaders may be stupid, petty even evil, but they tend to do things only when theyre pretty sure they can get away with them. Take war: a country will start a fight only when

38、 italmost certain it can get what it wants at an acceptable price. Not even Hider or Saddam waged wars they didnt think they could win. The problem historically has been that leaders often make the wrong gamble and underestimate the other sidemillions of innocents pay the price.（分数：15.00）(1).What is

Security Council meeting in New York on Sept. 24?（分数：3.00）A.To tackle the climate changeB.To improve the world financial systemC.To stop the wars in AfricaD.To urge the world to get rid of the nuclear weapons(2).According to the passage ,why the Obama administrat

40、ion urged the world to get rid of nukes?（分数：3.00）A.Because only the Obama administration takes this issue seriously.B.Because it is stated that the nuclear weapons are the biggest theart to U.

But Disnevs princesses can live on in

45、their fantasy world without fear of any of Marvels 5,000 tough characters, for theyll coexist peacefully. Bob Iger, who began his tenure as Disney CEO with the acquisition of Pixar, knows his way around the world of animation. “We believe that adding Marvel to Disneys unique portfolio of brands prov

46、ides significant opportunities for long - term growth and value creation,“ he said in announcing the transaction.Unlike some of his counterpartsViacoms Sumner Redstone and News Corps Rupert MurdochIger gets along with his colleagues and makes a point of delegating authority. And in sharp contrast to

47、 his predecessor, Michael Eisner, Iger has kept a low profile. Yet he has reaffirmed Disneys legacy in animation with some of the boldest dealmaking in Hollywood in the Dast decade.Drawing Pixar into the Walt Disney Co. required rewriting the Disney management script. Disney had been distributor for

48、 Pixars productions, including such classics as Toy Story and Finding Nemo. But Eisner and Pixar founder Steve Jobs clashed like superheroes with super egos over the riches that both companies earned from their mutually rewarding arrangement. But in 2006, barely in his new job a year, Iger put an en

49、d to the childs play. He orchestrated the $ 7.4 billion Durchase of Pixar, which had quickly developed into the hottest hand in animation.So far, its all been a Hollywood ending. Igers first smart post - Pixar move was to install animator John Lasseter, the creative maestro behind the surging animation studio, as the chiefcreative
