Americans always have different opinions in their 11 toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else would citizens learn how to 12 themselves in a responsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered financial opportunities for which education was not needed on the road from rags to riches, ___13 —beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic—was an 14 detour.Even today, it is still possible for people to 15 financial success without much education, but the number of 16 in which this is possible is decreasing. In todays more complex world, the opportunities for financial success are 17 related to the need for education, especially higher education.Our society is rapidly becoming one whose 18 product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more 19 education. In other words, we grow up learning more and moreabout fewer and fewer subjects.In the future, this trend is likely to 20 .

It was held—I think rightly—that a Nazi victory would be an appalling (令人惊骇的 ) disaster. It was also held, in Western countries, that German scientists must be well advanced towards making an A-bomb, and that if they succeeded before the West did they would probably win the war. When the war was over, it was discovered, to the complete astonishment of both American and British Scientists, that the Germans were nowhere near success, and, as everybody knows, the Germans were defeated before any nuclear weapons had been made. But I do not think that nuclear scientists of the West can be blamed for thinking the work urgent and necessary. Even Einstein favored it.When, however, the German war was finished the great majority of those scientists who had collaborated toward making the A-bomb considered that it should not be used against the Japanese, who were already on the verge of defeat and, in any case, did not constitute such a threat to the world as Hitler. Many of them made urgent representations to the American government advocating that, instead of using the bomb as a weapon of war, they should, after a public announcement, explode it in a desert, and that future control ofnuclear energy should be placed in the hands of an international authority. Seven of the most famous of nuclear scientists drew up what is known as "the Franck Report" which they presented to the Secretary of War in June 1945. This is a very admirable andfar-seeing document, and if it had won the assent of the politicians, none of our subsequent terrors would have arisen.21. We may infer that the writers attitude towards the A-bomb is that______.A. it is absolutely necessaryB. it is a terrible threat to the whole of mankindC. it played a vital part in defeating the JapaneseD. it was a wonderful invention22. The American and British scientists were astonished at the end of the Second World War against Germany because______.A. the Germans had been defeated without the use of nuclear weaponsB. the Western countries had won before they had invented nuclear weaponsC. they thought the Germans would probably win the warD. the Germans had made little progress in developing nuclear weapons23. According to the writer, most scientists who had helped in making the A-bomb considered that it should not be used against theJapanese because______.A. it was such a dangerous weaponB. its use against the Japanese was unnecessaryC. it was a very inhumane weaponD. the German war was finished24. The passage implies, but does not directly say, that the nuclear scientists______.A. might not have agreed to develop the bomb if there had been no Nazi threatB. would have developed the bomb even without the Nazi threatC. would have made the bomb, under peace-time conditions, but only for the use of an international authorityD. developed the bomb because Einstein thought it urgent and necessary25. The main point in the second paragraph is______.A. that nuclear weapons proved unnecessaryB. that the Franck Report, which recommended that the bomb should be placed in the hands of an international authority, was rejectedC. that many scientists tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade the politicians to abandon nuclear bombs, and place nuclear energy in the hands of an international authorityD. both A and C21.
