3.Questions 61-65 are based on Passage Two:Passage TwoScience is a dominant theme in our culture.Since it touches almost every facet of our life, educated people need at least some acquaintance with its structure and operatiom They should also have an understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are, An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to attain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist.This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance with science is superficial; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets; and for the person who views the scientist as some sort of magician. The book can be used to supplement a course in any science, to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or-independent of any course-simply to provide a better understanding of science.We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. In addition, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive in our culture.We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it.That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women.This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not an unique incident but, rather, part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions. In discussing these changes and contributions, however, we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist, one that uses male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals.To offset this built-in bias, we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and, when a'bsolutely necessary, alternating he and she.This policy is far from being ideal, but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally.We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative,Our approach is usually informal. We feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. As the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living.According to the passage, “scientific subculture”means ( ).A.cultural groups that are formed by scientistsB.people whose knowledge of science is very limitedC. the scientific communityD. people who make good contributions to science

    Mad Scientist Stereotype Outdated

    Do people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the
    mad scientist changed?The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of
    a physics"boffin"(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London. The
    people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible
    suspects.98 percent of those asked got it wrong.The majority of people picked a white
    male of around 60,wearing glasses and with a white beard.
    While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago,
    the reality is now very different. Since 1 960 the number of young women entering physics
    has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.
    The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media
    and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by
    blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes. These
    stereotypes are really damaging to society.Very good school children are put off studying
    science because they don't see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing
    science.They simply don't relate to the media's image of the mad scientist.
    This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university.If
    we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects,we need to change
    this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive.But we must also

    Changes in Museums
    Museums have changed.They are no longer places that one"should"visit;they are places to enjoy and learn.
    At a science museum in Ontario,Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan(大城市的)Museum of Art in New York City , you can look at the seventeenth century instruments while listening to their music.At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently,you can help make a bone-by- bone reproduction of the museum's dinosaur(恐 龙),a beast that lived 200 million years ago.
    More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,for example,there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch,listen,operate,and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it,and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.
    One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.Leon F.Twiggs,a young black professor of art once said,"They see things in a new and different way.They are not satisfied to stand and look at works of art;they want art they can participate(参加)in."The same is true of science and history.

Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. What bad influences do the computer games have on people and what should we do with them? Write a composition to give your views. You should write at least 160 words.

    正确答案:
    Recently, the fact that more and more students have spent too much time playing computer games has aroused great concern. It's high time to prevent them from indulging in those games.
    Though the computer and the Internet have brought us great convenience and pleasure in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, we should not ignore their negative impacts on people, especially young students. To begin with, to play computer games excessively can damage the players' physical health, especially their eyes. In addition, those students who are addicted to computer games tend to neglect their studies, idle away their time and even commit crimes.
    From what has been discussed above, I think it is imperative that some effective measures be taken to solve the problem. To begin with, the computer access for students should be controlled and the time students spend on computer games should be limited. Then, the quality of computer software and games for young students should be examined in case they are adversely influenced by inappropriate programs that involve violence and sex content. Finally, the law and the regulation should be made to protect students from being corrupted and misled by computer games. Meanwhile, parents and teachers should take responsibility for educating the students to realize the harmful effects of computer games.

    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。由文章可知,科学的第二个定义是:科学是一种通过对事实的观察进行逻辑推理,从而得出可靠结论的思考方法。结合上下文不难看出,作者是支持第二个定义的;根据他所列举的人们对于科学的含混概念可以推测出,作者认为科学的教育实际上是教会人进行严密的思考;哲学显然符合这些对科学的界定,故D项正确。由第二段首句可排除A项;尾句可排除C项;B项在文中没有提及,故排除。因此答案为D项。

    Mad Scientist Stereotype Outdated

    Do people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the
    mad scientist changed?The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of
    a physics"boffin"(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London. The
    people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible
    suspects.98 percent of those asked got it wrong.The majority of people picked a white
    male of around 60,wearing glasses and with a white beard.
    While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago,
    the reality is now very different. Since 1 960 the number of young women entering physics
    has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.
    The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media
    and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by
    blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes. These
    stereotypes are really damaging to society.Very good school children are put off studying
    science because they don't see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing
    science.They simply don't relate to the media's image of the mad scientist.
    This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university.If
    we want to encourage more young people to study science subjects,we need to change
    this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive.But we must also
    develop children's interest in science.
    In an attempt to change this negative image,an increasing number of science festivals
    are being organized.Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to
    take part in nationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national
    science Olympiads.Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the
    International Science Olympiads which are held in a different country every year.These
    events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small
    proportion of students who are already interested in science.It seems that there is a long
    way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion
    and design.

    The International Science Olympiads are held once every two years.

    Changes in Museums
    Museums have changed.They are no longer places that one"should"visit;they are places to enjoy and learn.
    At a science museum in Ontario,Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan(大城市的)Museum of Art in New York City , you can look at the seventeenth century instruments while listening to their music.At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently,you can help make a bone-by- bone reproduction of the museum's dinosaur(恐 龙),a beast that lived 200 million years ago.
    More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,for example,there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch,listen,operate,and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it,and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.
    One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.Leon F.Twiggs,a young black professor of art once said,"They see things in a new and different way.They are not satisfied to stand and look at works of art;they want art they can participate(参加)in."The same is true of science and history.

    New York's American Museum of Natural History is opened recently.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B

    第二段中提到,人们在博物馆中可以感受头发直立、聆听古老乐器的演奏,以及帮忙制作恐龙模型等。第三段第三句又提到,参观者被鼓励去触摸、聆听、操作和做实验等。由此可知,人们在博物馆中,可以参与很多活动。
    第二段最后一句提到,最近在美国的自然历史博物馆,你可以帮忙制作恐龙模型,这只是表明美国自然历史博物馆最近开办了这项活动,并不是说美国自然历史博物馆最近才开放。
    根据第三段的第二句和第三句可知,博物馆鼓励参观者去触摸,去聆听,去操控,去做实验等。
    根据第三段第三、四句可知,博物馆所做的这些努力,就是想让参观者从自身体验中获得科学知识,对科学的世界不再感到陌生。
    全篇文章并未提到所有的科学博物馆是否是免费开放的。
    根据第四段第一句可知,导致这些变化(包括更多人去博物馆)的原因之一就是人们有了更多的财富和业余时间。
    根据第四段倒数第二句可知,大多数年轻人喜欢他们可以参与其中的艺术。

    Practice 9  Youth unemployment across the world has climbed to a new high and is likely to climb further this year, a United Nations agency said Thursday, while warning of a “lost generation” as more young people give up the search for work.  The agency, the International Labor Organization, said in a report that of some 620 million young people ages 15 to 24 in the work force, about 81 million were unemployed at the end of 2009—the highest level in two decades of record-keeping by the organization, which is based in Geneva.  “There’s never been an increase of this magnitude — both in terms of the rate and the level — since we’ve been tracking the data,” said Steven Kapsos, an economist with the organization. The agency forecast that the global youth unemployment rate would continue to increase through 2010, to 13.1 percent, as the effects of the economic downturn continue. It should then decline to 12.7 percent in 2011.  In some especially strained European countries, including Spain and Britain, many young people have become discouraged and given up the job hunt, it said. The trend will have “significant consequences for young people,” as more and more join the ranks of the already unemployed, it said. That has the potential to create a “‘lost generation’ comprised of young people who have dropped out of the labor market, having lost all hope of being able to work for a decent living.”  The report studied the German, British, Spanish and Estonian labor markets and found that Germany had been most successful in bringing down long-term youth unemployment. In Spain and Britain, increases in unemployment were particularly pronounced for those with lower education levels.  Data from Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical agency, show Spain had a jobless rate of 40.5 percent in May for people under 25. That was the highest level among the 27 members of the European Union, far greater than the 9.4 percent in Germany in May and 19.7 percent in Britain in March.

    联合国一组织周二称,全球年轻人失业率再创新高,而且这种趋势将在今年继续延续下去。他们警告说,越来越多的年轻人放弃寻找工作,将导致失迷一代数量激增。
    国际劳工组织在其报告中称,全球15岁到24岁之间的6.2亿年轻工人中,2009年末大约有8100万人失业,这是总部位于日内瓦的劳工组织20年以来的最高纪录。
    国际劳工组织经济学家史蒂文·凯普索斯说:“自从我们开始追踪年轻人失业数据以来,从未见过数量如此之大、比例如此之高的失业现象。”该机构预测,在全球经济持续低迷的影响下,年轻人2010年下半年失业率将继续上升,最后可能达到13.1%。不过到2011年,这一比例应该可以降到12.7%以下。
    在情况特别严峻的欧洲国家,比如西班牙和英国,许多年轻人已经对寻找工作气馁,甚至放弃了找工作。这种趋势将对年轻人造成严重影响,可能越来越多的年轻人加入到失业者行列。这些退出劳动市场、对寻找工作过上体面生活失去希望的年轻人,将成为新的迷失一代。
    报告研究了德国、英国、西班牙以及爱沙尼亚等国的劳动市场,发现德国在处理年轻人长期失业方面最成功。西班牙和英国,那些受教育程度低的年轻人失业率增长明显。
    来自欧盟统计局的数据显示,5月份,西班牙25岁以下人口失业率已经达到40.5%,这是欧盟27个成员国中比例最高的。德国5月恩的失业率为9.4%,英国3月失业率为19.7%。
