　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. N 根据题干中的信息词Kunz 和software engineering定位到第一个小标题下的第四段，可知Kunz放弃软件工程部分原因在于自己赚的钱不如法律界和商界的朋友多，但这不是主要原因，故该句表述错误。

　　2. Y 根据题干中的信息词high school seniors和engineering定位到第一个小标题下的倒数第二段下的第二点，可知只有不到6%的美国高三学生打算攻读工程学学位，即在大学以工程学为专业，这个比例显然很小，故该句表述正确。

　　3. NG 根据题干中的信息词competitive in science定位到第一个小标题下的最后一句，可知David Baltimore认为，美国人如果在理科没有竞争力，就无法保证现有的生活水平、国家安全和生活方式，但并没有提到他们无法在发达国家的激烈竞争中存活下来。

　　4. N 根据题干中的信息词math and science education定位到第二个小标题下的第一段，可知美国数学和理科教育的失败以及美国研究体系的失败严重威胁着美国;下一段开头提到，这失败的根源在于初等和中等教育，而并非是大学教育，故该句表述错误。

　　5. science and math teachers。根据题干中的信息词math and science literacy和qualified定位到第二个小标题下的第二、三段，可知在2003年一项国际数学和理科水平调查中，美国四年级学生表现良好，但高中生却几乎排在最后，问题不在于学校的预算，而在于美国高中有许多数学和理科教师不够资格，由此可得答案。

　　6. go into hard science。根据题干中的信息词cutting budget和smothers incentives定位到第二个小标题下的最后两段，可知美国总统布什提议削减国家重点科研机构的研究、发展预算，这将导致相关机构的裁员，也会压制学生学习自然科学的动机。
