（6）把某些档案馆当作新的“古土墩”荒谬吗？“古土墩”是由历代城市废墟一层层地堆积而成的，在中东随处可见，藏有千万年来人类历史的考古资料。无数的“古土墩”里，只有屈指可数的几座得到了系统的发掘。即使单单想弄清楚这几个“古土墩”里藏有什么，不花几个世纪，也得用几十年。

If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go； our task would be fairly simple。 The public school system； however； has no such 1 ； 2 the jobs must be carried 3 at the same time。 Because we depend so 4 upon science and technology for our 5； we must produce specialists in many fields。 6 we live in a 7 nation； whose citizens make the policies for the nation； large numbers of us must be educated to understand； to uphold； and 8 necessary； to judge the work of 9。 The public school must educate both producers and 10 of scientific services。
In education； there should be a good balance 11 the branches of 12 that contribute to effective thinking and 13 judgment。 Such balance is defeated by 14 much emphasis on any one field。 This 15 of balance involves not only the 16 of the natural sciences； the social sciences and the arts but also relative emphasis among the natural sciences themselves。
17； we must have a balance between current and 18 knowledge。 The attention of the public is continually drawn to new 19 in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge； these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound； established materials that form the basis of 20 for beginners。

In the next century we’ll be able to alter our DNA radically； encoding our visions and vanities while concocting new life…forms。 When Dr。 Frankenstein made his monster； he wrestled with the moral issue of whether he should allow it to reproduce； “Had I the right； for my own benefit； to inflict the curse upon everlasting generations？” Will such questions require us to develop new moral philosophies？
Probably not。 Instead； we’ll reach again for a timetested moral concept； one sometimes called the Golden Rule and which Kant； the millennium’s most prudent moralist； conjured up into a categorical imperative： Do unto others as you would have them do unto you； treat each person as an individual rather than as a means to some end。
Under this moral precept we should recoil at human cloning； because it inevitably entails using humans as means to other humans’ ends and valuing them as copies of others we loved or as collections of body parts； not as individuals in their own right。 We should also draw a line； however fuzzy； that would permit using genetic engineering to cure diseases and disabilities but not to change the personal attributes that make someone an individual （IQ； physical appearance； gender and sexuality）。
The biotech age will also give us more reason to guard our personal privacy。 Aldous Huxley in Brave New World； got it wrong： rather than centralizing power in the hands of the state； DNA technology has empowered individuals and families。 But the state will have an important role； making sure that no one； including insurance companies； can look at our genetic data without our permission or use it to discriminate against us。
Then we can get ready for the breakthroughs that could come at the end of the next century and the technology is comparable to mapping our genes： plotting the 10 billion or more neurons of our brain。 With that information we might someday be able to create artificial intelligences that think and experience consciousness in ways that are indistinguishable from a human brain。 Eventually we might be able to replicate our own minds in a “dryware” machine； so that we could live on without the “wetware” of a biological brain and body。 The 20th century’s revolution in infotechnology will thereby merge with the 21st century’s revolution in biotechnology。 But this is science fiction。 Let’s turn the page now and get back to real science。
21。Dr。 Frankenstein’s remarks are mentioned in the text
＇A＇ to give an episode of the DNA technological breakthroughs。
＇B＇ to highlight the importance of a means to some everlasting ends。
＇C＇ to show how he created a new form of life a thousand years ago。
＇D＇ to introduce the topic of moral philosophies incurred in biotechnology。
22。It can be concluded from the text that the technology of human cloning should be employed
＇A＇ excessively and extravagantly。 ＇B＇ reasonably and cautiously。
＇C＇ aggressively and indiscriminately。 ＇D＇ openly and enthusiastically。
23。From the text； we learn that Aldous Huxley is of the opinion that
＇A＇ DNA technology should be placed in the charge of individuals。
＇B＇ government should assume less control over individuals。
＇C＇ people need government to protect their DNA information。
＇D＇ old moral precepts should be abolished on human cloning。
24。Judged from the information in the last paragraph； we can predict that the author is likely to write which of the following in the next section？
＇A＇ The reflection upon biotechnological morality。
＇B＇ The offensive invasion of our personal privacy。
＇C＇ The inevitable change of IQs for our descendants。
＇D＇ The present state of biotechnological research。
25。According to the last paragraph； “dry…ware” is to “wet…ware” as
＇A＇ “collective” to “individual”。 ＇B＇ “fictional” to “factual”。
＇C＇ “mechanical” to “corporeal”。 ＇D＇ “temporary” to “permanent”。

Before a big exam； a sound night’s sleep will do you more good than poring over textbooks。 That； at least； is the folk wisdom。 And science； in the form of behavioral psychology； supports that wisdom。 But such behavioral studies canno
