Adults who lack basic science and maths skills risk being "deceived" and making bad decisions, according to a leading scientist. Teaching maths and science to all up to 18 would "produce a wiser population", says new British Science Association president Dame Athene Donald.
Prof Donald will use her address to next week’s 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, more young people need to be interested 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, science people and arts people", she will argue. "We may be laughed at if our knowledge of Shakespeare or Austen isn’t perfect but it is still OK to say ’I could never do maths at school.’"
5. What is the news report mainly about?
6. What will Prof Donald say in the science festival?
7. What if you don’t know Shakespeare or Austen well?
选项
A、It is OK to say that you never do maths at school.
B、There has been a major change in the UK’s education.
C、Lack of Science and maths skills is not beneficial to adults.
D、Prof Donald will give a speech at the British Science Festival.
答案
C
解析
新闻总体围绕着科学与数学来表述的,而且录音开头提到了“缺乏基本科学与数学技能的成年人有着被欺骗以及做出错误决定的风险”(Adults who lack basic science and maths skills risk being“deceived”),由此我们可以知道缺乏科学与数学技能对成年人是没有好处的,故C正确。A出自新闻末尾,所说的只是一般看法,与本篇新闻的基调(强调学习科学和数学的重要性)相反。B中的major change虽然有在新闻中提及,但那是Prof Donald将要在下周的科学节上要提出的观点,新闻的重点也不在教育的转变。D“Prof Donald下周将在英国科学节发表演讲”,虽然在新闻中有提及,但文章主要讲述的是她关于数学和科学的观点,而非演讲这件事。
