In response to their criticisms， population geneticists Ranajit Chakraborty of the University of Texas in Dallas and Kenneth K.Kidd of Yale University in New Haven， Conn.， argued that enough data are already available to show that the methods currently being used are adequate. In January 1998， however， the federal Bureau of Investigation and laboratories that conduct DNA tests announced that they would collect additional DNA samples form various ethnic groups in an attempt to resolve some of these questions. And， in April， a National Academy of Sciences called for strict standards and system of accreditation for DNA testing laboratories.

　　1.Before DNA fingerprinting is used， suspects____.

　　A.would have to leave their fingerprints for further investigations

　　B.would have to submit evidence for their innocence

　　C.could easily escape conviction of guilt

　　D.cold be convicted of guilt as well

　　2.DNA fingerprinting can be unreliable when ____.

　　A.the methods used for blood- cell calculation are not accurate

　　B.two different individuals of the same ethnic group may have the same DNA fingerprinting pattern

　　C.a match is by chance left with fingerprints that happen to belong to two different individuals

　　D.two different individuals leave two DNA samples.

　　3.To geneticists like Lewontin and Hartl， the current method ____.

　　A.is not so convincing as to exclude the likelihood that two DNA samples can never come from two individuals

　　B.is arguable because two individuals of the same ethnic group are likely to have the same DNA pattern.

　　C.Is not based on adequate scientific theory of genetics

　　D.Is theoretically contradictory to what they have been studying

　　4.The attitude of the Federal Bereau of Investigation shows that ____.

　　A.enough data are yet to be collected form various ethnic groups to confirm the unlikelihood of two DNA samples coming from two individual members

　　B.enough data of DNA samples should be collected to confirm that only DNA samples form the same person can match

　　C.enough data are yet to be collected from various ethnic groups to determine the likelihood of two different DNA samples coming form the same person

　　D.additional samples from various ethnic groups should be collected to determine that two DNA samples are unlikely to come from the same person

　　5.National Academy of Sciences holds the stance that ____.

　　A.DNA testing should be systematized

　　B.Only authorized laboratories can conduct DNA testing

　　C.The academy only is authorized to work out standards for testing

　　D.The academy has the right to accredit laboratories for DNA testing

　　答案：CBABB

　　The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go， says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence， because college will help them earn more money， become “better” people， and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don‘t go.

　　But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending， those who don‘t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous， and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies， and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.

　　Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole， and doesn‘t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world， and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds， either.

　　Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best， the proper， the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down， it seems， and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn‘t make people intelligent， ambitious， happy， liberal， or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around， and intelligent， ambitious， happy， liberal， quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good， more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.

　　D.young people don‘t like the intense competition for admission to graduate school.

　　4.According to the passage， the problems of college education partly originate in the fact that___.

　　A.society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graduates.

　　B.High school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education.
