解析：
1.D
文章的第一段的第二句话提到，单是这一教育体系的不同，就可以时美国和其他国家很容易地区分开来。所以说，美国与其他国家在教育体系上是不同的。
2.C
文章的第一句话就明确地指出美国的教育体系的基础是使尽可能多的人接受尽可能多的教育这一理念。
3.C
从第二段的第一句话可以看出，使尽可能多的人接受尽可能多的教育是美国人关于人人平等这一假设的结果。也就是说，美国提出的人人平等的假设导致了教育理念的产生。
4.D
文章的第三段指出，在加拿大，每10万人中接受高等教育的人数是4，006;而在美国每10万人中有5，355人接受了高等教育。所以每10万人中接受高等教育的人数在700人以上的只有美国和加拿大。
5.C
文章最后一段指出，美国的教育体系对成绩的要求比其他国家晚。只有当学生想要获得硕士学位时，成绩才会被摆到一个重要的位置上来。只有在这个阶段，美国的教育体系才会对学生提出较高的要求。
Does a bee know what is going on in its mid when it navigates its way to distant food sources and back to the hive, using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it carries as a navigational aids? or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any order way? To use Donald Griffin’s term, does a bee have “awareness”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think or imagine?
There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Fisch and more recently confirmed by James Gould princeton. Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to train their bees to fly from the hive one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a sugar very close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular internal, the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive, in increments of about 25 percent at each move. Eventually, the largest is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far away from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.
1. The best title for the passage is ___.
A. Teaching the Bees to Navigate.
B. Testing the Awareness of Bees
C. Navigational Techniques of Bees.
D. Behaviorists versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate.
2. The word “awareness” appears in paragraph 1 in quotation marks in order to___.
A. how the author’ preference for the term.
B. indicate that it is being used humorously.
C. acknowledge Donald Griffin’s previous use of the term.
D. point out that it was used differently earlier in the passage.
3. According to the author, sugar was used in the study____.
A. to reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.
B. to retain the bees to travel to a particular place.
C. To ensure that the bees knew where the hive was.
D. To ensure that the bees would obey the orders.
4. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate that____.
A. research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.
B. bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet their hive.
C. scientist can teach bees to navigate.
D. bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.
解析：
1.B
答案的信息我们可以从第一段中的问句中获取，而且可以在第二段的开头得到确认wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general，就是要研究蜜蜂的飞行，语言和行为，看蜜蜂是否是有意识的。
2.D
这不是作者喜欢的名词，也没有幽默的用法，前面也没有提到过该词。
3.C
在蜂巢附近放糖是为了使蜜蜂找到巢，然后测试他们的意识。
4.A
我们可以找到推断的线索，This is an uncomfortable observation to make.
Translation:
1.In the mid-fifties, we demanded that our schools create a harmony among races that existed nowhere else in American life.
2. In the mid-sixties, when our young were engaged in a rebellion that seemed to threaten virtually every ideal we embraced as a nation, we insisted that the school restore social order and preserve the status quo. In the mid- seventies, we instructed our schools to go one step further.
3. Clearly, this prolonged and ill-advised effort to make the educational system the principle tool for social reform has contributed to such problems as the sharply increased incidents of functional illiteracy.
4. We are insisting both that the schools improve the way they teach English, so that language is removed as a barrier to learning and that they increase the number of courses taught in students’ native tongues, so that the pace of learning begun in their homelands continues uninterrupted.
5. once we stop asking the schools to do too much they can get on with solving the more problem of performing their basic task-that of education-more effectively.
1. 50年代中期，我们曾要求学校创造一种种族和谐的气氛，那是在美国的生活中还没有这种气氛。
2.60年代中期，当我们的年轻一代 参与了一场造反运动而这场造反运动似乎会危及到我们作为一个国家所信奉的全部理想时，我们又坚持要学校恢复社会秩序并保持现状。
3.很明显，为把教育制度变成社会变革的主要手段而进行的旷日持久的，不明智的努力已经引发了诸如半文盲的激增等一系列的问题。
4.我们不但主张各学校改进英语教学的方法以使语言不再构成对学习的障碍;同时还主张增加用学生们的母语教授课程的数目，以使学生们在他们的祖国开始的学习进度得以继续，不被中断。
5.一旦我们不再对学校提出过分的要求，它们就能继续有效的解决教育--这一事关它们根本任务的敏感问题。
