  • 第4题:

    Text 3 In the idealized version of how science is done,facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work.But in the everyday practice of science,discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route.We aim to be objective,but we cannot escape the context of our unique life experience.Prior knowledge and interest influence what we experience,what we think our experiences mean,and the subsequent actions we take.Opportunities for misinterpretation,error,and self-deception abound.Consequently,discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience.Similar to newly staked mining claims,they are full of potential.But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery.This is the credibility process,through which the individual researcher’s me,here,now becomes the community’s anyone,anywhere,anytime.Objective knowledge is the goal,not the starting point.Once a discovery claim becomes public,the discoverer receives intellectual credit.But,unlike with mining claims,the community takes control of what happens next.Within the complex social structure of the scientific community,researchers make discoveries;editors and reviewers act as gatekeepers by controlling the publication process;other scientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes;and finally,the public(including other scientists)receives the new discovery and possibly accompanying technology.As a discovery claim works it through the community,the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery.Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process.First,scientific work tends to focus on some aspect of prevailing Knowledge that is viewed as incomplete or incorrect.Little reward accompanies duplication and confirmation of what is already known and believed.The goal is new-search,not re-search.Not surprisingly,newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to be important and convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers.Second,novelty itself frequently provokes disbelief.Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Azent-Gyorgyi once described discovery as“seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.”But thinking what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missed may not change their views.Sometimes years are required for truly novel discovery claims to be accepted and appreciated.In the end,credibility“happens”to a discovery claim–a process that corresponds to what philosopher Annette Baier has described as the commons of the mind.“We reason together,challenge,revise,and complete each other’s reasoning and each other’s conceptions of reason.”32.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that credibility process requires

    A.strict inspection.
    B.shared efforts.
    C.individual wisdom.
    D.persistent innovation.

    答案:B
    解析:
    该题定位于第二段。第二段第二句中提到“But it takes collective scrutiny and accept-ance to...”,其中it指的是将科学发现获得公众可信度的过程。第四句话具体讲到了这个过程:“through which the individual researcher’s me,here,nowbecomes the community’s anyone,anywhere,anytime.”,即要经历从个人到集体的过程,需要大家共同的努力,故答案为B项。A

  • 第10题:

    问答题
    Practice 2   (The candidate chooses one topic and speaks about it for one minute.)  A Promotion: how to develop a promotion program for a new product.  B Recruitment: how to recruit a new sales representative.  C Training: what are the goals of a training program for sales representatives.

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose A:
    To develop a promotion program for a new product involves various aspects, each of which requires careful planning. First of all, we should identify the target audience of the program, since different ways of promotion apply to different groups of audiences. As far as the product is concerned, characteristics of it and the brand image should be taken into consideration. Secondly, we must establish a specific communication objective, which will help to find effective ways to arouse customers’ awareness of the new product. As for budget, it should also be taken into fully account. It has to be ensured that the expenditure of the program is within the advertising budget. Thirdly, given the above consideration, communication channels need to be decided. It is vital to select a proper media for advertisements. Since pricing strategy plays a key role in the promotion program, it must be made carefully. At last, make sure to collect information on initial stages in time from the market, which will provides us with the main resources to make an evaluation of the feedback from the market.
    If you choose B:
    Several steps need to be taken in order to recruit a new sales representative. First and foremost, the selection standards need to be set. For instance, what kind of education background should the applicant have? How many years of working experience must he or she has? Criteria of this kind in the preliminary selecting process are very significant. What should draw our equal attention is that the applicant should be a person with an extrovert personality. He or she is expected to be hard-working, convincing and persuasive in order to meet the goal. Next, appropriate channel should be chosen to make those potential applicants well informed of the job opportunity. Job fair, head-hunter and campus interview are all good options. Last but not least, a face to face interview is indispensable to assess the applicant’s ability to communicate, as well as his or her general competence to do the job. Besides, a comprehensive appraisal of the applicant is strongly recommended.
    If you choose C:
    The objectives of the training program for the sales representatives are various according to different needs. First of all, some brief information about the company should be offered, for example the company’s history, organizational structure, financial structure and so on. It is also necessary to emphasize the current situation of the company. Sales representatives must have a good understanding of the company’s main products, its annual sales volume, the sales target of this financial year and something of that kind. Secondly, sale representatives should also be given a brief introduction of the people in the company, such as are the chief officers of the company, immediate managers in the representative’s department as well as colleagues in his or her working group. Finally, it comes to customers. We should put high value on the types and characteristics of the customers. It is also expected that their needs and wants are exactly transmitted to the sales representatives. With that kind of information in mind, the sales representatives will become more adaptive when selling products.

    根据下列材料,请回答 31~35 题:

    In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work. But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route. We aim to be objective, but we cannot escape the context of our unique life experience. Prior knowledge and interest influence what we experience, what we think our experiences mean, and the subsequent actions we take. Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self-deception abound.

    Consequently, discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience. Similar to newly staked mining claims, they are full of potential. But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform. a discovery claim into a mature discovery. This is the credibility process, through which the individual researcher’s me, here, now becomes the community’s anyone, anywhere, anytime. Objective knowledge is the goal, not the starting point.

    Once a discovery claim becomes public, the discoverer receives intellectual credit. But, unlike with mining claims, the community takes control of what happens next. Within the complex social structure of the scientific community, researchers make discoveries; editors and reviewers act as gatekeepers by controlling the publication process; other scientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes; and finally, the public (including other scientists) receives the new discovery and possibly accompanying technology. As a discovery claim works it through the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery.

    Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process. First, scientific work tends to focus on some aspect of prevailing Knowledge that is viewed as incomplete or incorrect. Little reward accompanies duplication and confirmation of what is already known and believed. The goal is new-search, not re-search. Not surprisingly, newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to be important and convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers. Second, novelty itself frequently provokes disbelief. Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Azent-Gyorgyi once described discovery as “seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.” But thinking what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missed may not change their views. Sometimes years are required for truly novel discovery claims to be accepted and appreciated.

    In the end, credibility “happens” to a discovery claim – a process that corresponds to what philosopher Annette Baier has described as the commons of the mind. “We reason together, challenge, revise, and complete each other’s reasoning and each other’s conceptions of reason.”

    第 31 题 According to the first paragraph, the process of discovery is characterized by its

    [A] uncertainty and complexity.

    [B] misconception and deceptiveness.

    [C] logicality and objectivity.

    [D] systematicness and regularity.

    The discovery of what goes wrong with a special kind of mice enables scientists to find a way to prevent diabetes in humans.

    D

    The discovery made by the research groups led by Daniel L. Kaufman and Hugh Mcdevit is convincing.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    本题考查细节。根据文章第二段第二句“the researchers say they may be ready to test their techniques on humans in five years and that a treatment for patients in the early stages of the disease could be ready to test in two years.”可知研究者准备五年后在人身上实验他们的技术,两年后治疗处于糖尿病初期的患者,因此这种对糖尿病的治疗方法还没有用到人类身上。故A项说法不正确。第一句提到“mouse diabetes is almost identical to human type 1 diabetes”,由此可知鼠类的糖尿病与人类的一种糖尿病几乎一样,并没有太大区别,故B项说法正确。有文章第三段可知这些发现是由两个不同的团队独立完成的,第四段提到这些研究令人信服,故D项说法正确。第一段最后一句“...have developed a way to prevent the disease in the Roberts.”,此处的罗伯特并不是特指叫这个名字的人而是泛指人类。故C项说法正确。
