24、address to next weeks British Science Festival to urge major changes to UK education. “Citizens need to be permitted to make good decisions in their private lives.“ she will tell the festival, at Bradford University. In order for this to happen, she will say, 6more young people need to be interested
25、 in and comfortable with science. She believes the problem starts young, with too few teachers able to teach primary school science or trained as subject specialists at secondary level. Forcing pupils to make subject choices from the age of 14, effectively divides the nation “into sheep and goats, s

29、(make good decisions in their private lives)。 C“强迫学生从 18岁开始做科目选择 ”，录音中说的是 14岁。D“国家会分为科技人群和艺术人群 ”并不是 Prof Donald的观点，只是英国的现状。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻最后提到，如果你对莎士比亚和奥斯丁不够了解的话，可能会被他人嘲笑 (We may be laughed at if our knowledge of Shakespeare or Austen isnt perfect)，故 B正确。新闻中 itS OK对应的是不学数 (never do m
