閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by difinition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don’t and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.
The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things Worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant, the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-had spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels than can yet be trusted.
But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’ t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.

Christmas was coming, “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room． “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough．” As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears． I’d never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs． “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry．
From the window upstairs，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy． And I was also full of joy． What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home． I ran downstairs． My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love !

When I was young and going to school, a joke was played on me. My friend said, "What is black and
white and red all over?" Of course I said, "I do not know." My friend said, "The newspaper." And he started
to laugh. Those were the days before I read the newspaper. That was before I knew what was ahead and
how important the newspaper would become in my life.
The first American newspaper was published in Boston in 1690. The paper had only one issue (期刊).
The next newspaper was the Boston Newsletter, printed in 1704. During the following years several other
papers were printed in different parts of America. Today there are thousands of newspapers throughout the
world that report world, national and local news in many different languages. There are morning and evening
papers, all of which have material for every reader. You automatically (自動的) think of the newspaper if you
want to know what is happening in the community (社會).
But what is a newspaper? A newspaper is a piece of printed paper that presents the current news in the
local community as well as news of national and world events. The world events and important local events
are usually reported on the front page. As you go through the paper, you find sports news, comics, news on
deaths, and news of sqcial events. Often the important speech of a public officer is printed in the paper. You
can even find out who got married in the community.
