31、egrees in business and hard-science subjects.Some institutions have responded by cutting budgets in the arts and humanities and 2015 江苏苏北四市高三第一次调研考试第 6 页 共 14 页directing those funds elsewhere. Thats the wrong thing to do. The humanities-the study of languages , literature, history, philosophy, relig

32、ion, ethics, etc.-and the arts are vital to our future. We should be investing more funds, more time and more expertise, not less, into these endeavors.What detractors（诋毁者） of the “soft“ subjects miss is that the arts and humanities provide an essential framework and context for understanding the wi

33、der world. Studying the humanities strengthens the ability to communicate and work with others. It allows students to develop broad intellectual and cultural understanding; it nurtures creativity and deepens participation in public discourse and modem democracy.The commissions report points out that

34、 “at the very moment when China is seeking to adopt our model of broad education in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences as a stimulus to invention, the United States is instead narrowing our focus and abandoning our sense of what education has been and should continue to be - our se

Second, the National Assessment of Educational Progress test shows that only less than a qu

37、es? If we fail to invest in the arts and humanities, our countrys future leaders will not have the ability to connect on an emotional level with others. This ability is developed by studying the humanities, and in the global community this skill is not optional - its essential.In a word, we must ent

38、husiastically support and fund the study of the arts and humanities. For anyone concerned with how this translates into a sound economy and a sound financial future, simply recall what Steve Jobs told graduates of Standford University in 2005: One of the most influential experiences in his brief tim

What can be inferred from the passage?A. Business and hard-science subjects are based upon the arts and humanities.B. At present too much

40、 emphasis and investment are put on science in America.C. More students will learn the arts and humanities instead of science in the USA.D. China has spent more money in the humanities and social sciences than the USA.59. The author mentions Steve Jobs in the last paragraph to prove that _.A. scienc

43、ay be saying soon, as car makers tryto speed up production of zero emission（零排放） cars tomeet state requirements in the near future.Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking HondasFCX Concept Vehicle sits an electro-chemical reactor: ahand built, astronomically expensive power plant knownas a fuel ce

44、ll. Its expected to be running ordinary family cars on Californias roads within three years.So what exactly is a fuel cell, anyway? Why are governments, private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell, very simply described, is a power generator, mak

45、ing electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently, without pollution, Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels, the only by-products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water. To be more technical about it, a hydrogen

46、atom with its one electron, attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane（膜） to unite with an oxygen atom. The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton（质子） to pass through, forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side. This creates electricity, water,

47、 and heat, but no exhaust emissions.If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen, it has the potential to be up t0 80-percent efficient, That is, it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy. However, we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical w

48、ork. This is accomplished by the electric motor. A reasonable number for the efficiency of the motor is about 80 percent. So we have 80-percent efficiency in generating electricity, and 80-percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power. That gives an overall efficiency of about64 percent. Hondas FCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60-percent energy efficiency, which is twice or even three times
