Historical Debate on Animal Experimentation
As the experimentation on animals increased, especially the practice of vivisection, so did criticism and controversy. In 1655, the advocate of Galenic physiology Edmund O'Meara said that "the miserable torture of vivisection places the body in an unnatural state." O'Meara and others argued that animal physiology could be affected by pain during vivisection, rendering results unreliable. There were also objections on an ethical basis, contending that the benefit to humans did not justify the harm to animals. Early objections to animal testing also came from another angle — many people believed that animals were inferior to humans and so different that results from animals could not be applied to humans.
On the other side of the debate, those in favor of animal testing held that experiments on animals were necessary to advance medical and biological knowledge. Claude Bernard — who is sometimes known as the " prince of vivisectors" and the father of physiology, and whose wife, Marie Frangoise Martin, founded the first anti-vivisection society in France in 1883 — famously wrote in 1865 that "the science of life is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen . Arguing that experiments on animals ...are entirely conclusive for the toxicology and hygiene of man ... the effects of these substances are the same on man as on animals, save for differences in degree, Bernard established animal experimentation as part of the standard scientific method.

Others say they'll take their case to voters. "We have to seriously contest all this at the ballot box," says University of California regent Ward Cannerly, who helped win voter approval of California's Proposition 209, which prohibits considering race or gender in public education, hiring and contracting. Because of that law, Monday's ruling had no practical impact in the state. "It may be time for us to… let the (Michigan) voters decide if they want to use race as a factor in admissions," Connerly said Monday.
Meanwhile, U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige, consistent with President Bush's stance opposing affirmative action, said the Department of Education will "continue examining and highlighting effective race-neutral approaches to ensure broad access to and diversity within our public institutions". Even Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, in one of the opinions, recommended that states look for lessons in race-neutral programs being tried in California and elsewhere. While the ruling said admissions officials may consider race in the selection process, colleges and universities are not obligated to do so. "Ultimately in the debate, diversity is a choice, not a legal mandate," says Arthur Coleman, a former Department of Education official who now helps colleges and universities ensure constitutional policies.
The public, too, remains conflicted, largely along racial lines. According to a January poll by the non-profit research organization Public Agenda, 79% of Americans said it is important for colleges to have a racially diverse student body, while just 54% said affirmative action programs should continue. In a Gallup. poll conducted days before the ruling, 49% of adults said they favor affirmative action and 43% did not, with blacks and Hispanics far more likely to favor the practice than white. And some educators doubt that with Monday's ruling, those opposing affirmative action will change their minds.
For now, admissions officials and university lawyers are poring over the ruling to determine how or whether to adjust policies. While most tend to be closed-mouthed about admissions policies, many say they don't expect significant changes.
What the critics said in the first paragraph amounts to the idea that ______.
A．no admission policies based on race should be implemented.
B．minority applicants should be given favorable considerations.
C．different standards for admitting minority students should be set up.
D．selective colleges and universities should be punished for their discriminatory policies.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Should a university graduate with a computer science degree seek a position in a large, possibly multinational company or in a smaller organization？
Advice on this was divided, although the pros and cons (正反兩方面的理由) are fairly clear. If you join a small company, you can get a clearer all-around picture of how business works and gain experience in many fields. If you join a large organization, you can benefit from its in-house training programs and form. experience gained by working on large projects.
Vigrom Chaisinthop is TN Information Systems managing director. He said that by joining a big organization, a graduate would get experience on projects working with teams of 50 to 60 people. This would provide good experience in learning how to do a big project.
However, if they were to join a smaller company, they would have more opportunity to explore more areas, possibly spanning both hardware and programming. This might allow a person to be more creative.
Compaq managing director Kongkiet Washington said he believed that it would be more beneficial to work for a smaller company. He said that graduates would like to see many aspects of a business and be able to understand "the big picture". He also suggested that a graduate should start with an established organization, so that he can learn about process and discipline for at least three to five years.
But whether big or small, TN's Vigrom noted that half of all graduates would not make their decision based on this question alone. Parents who tended to favor state enterprises from a job security standpoint also had a large say in the choice.
People have divided opinions about ______.
A．the benefits a big company provides to graduates
B．the advantages a small company offers to graduates
C．whether graduates should work for a large or a small company
D．whether graduates can gain different experience
