回答 72 ~ 75 题: E A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be "running out of control", This idea is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good.Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger.Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference.And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.

Some people go even further.They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对),whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime.They believe that science will get out of control in the end.This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science.Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling" science in this century will be really tough.Take human cloning for example.Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响)on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies.Only through the unties efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future

第17题:What can we conclude from the recent study?

A. People think highly of science

B. People hold mixed opinions about science

C. Science is getting dangerously out of control

D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes

    What may be the author’s attitude toward the“Labor Market Equilibrium”?( )

    A.Positive
    B.Neutral
    C.Ambiguous
    D.Suspicious

    答案:B
    解析:
    态度题。根据题干定位到文中的第二部分,通过文中的词汇can be identified,has increased可以发现作者是很客观地在讲述劳动力市场均衡,因此B项“中立的”正确。其他三项,A项“积极的”、C项“模棱两可的”和D项“怀疑的”均不符合文章描述。故本题选B。参考译文:劳动力市场在经济学中,劳动是用来衡量人类所做工作的尺度。它通常与土地和资本等其他生产要素形成对比。它总是被当作一种商品——在市场上买卖的东西。公司为一个小时的劳动支付的工资单价被视为该劳动力的价格。当然,劳动力不同于其他商品。首先,其他商品的卖家只要卖到好价,不在乎谁买他们的产品。而劳动者非常关心谁购买他们的劳动力,因为该公司会成为他们的雇主。因此,劳动者关注工作条件、同事关系、通勤距离、晋升的可能性、声望、成就感等。劳动力的第二个显著特征是价格在市场中的特定含义:工资单价。人们一生中的主要收入来自他们的工作——来自出卖他们的劳动力——因此他们的工资水平将决定他们能在多大程度上养活自己和家人。因此,工资差异引发了经济中有关公平和公正的重要问题。劳动力市场既包括本地市场,又包括国家甚至国际市场,是由不同资质、技能和地理位置的较小的相互作用的劳动力市场组成的。它们依赖于雇主和求职者之间关于工资单价、就业条件、竞争水平和工作地点等信息的交流。劳动力市场均衡由于技术变革和资本积累,劳动力需求增加。许多人对这个事实感到惊讶。他们看到的是新技术正在毁灭工作岗位,而非创造就业机会。随着计算机和信息时代的到来,裁员成了20世纪90年代的流行语,并淘汰了数百万“好”工作,甚至是经理级别的岗位。那么,技术变革怎么可能创造就业机会并增加劳动力需求呢?技术变革在摧毁一些工作的同时也创造了其他工作机会。但它创造的工作机会要多于它所破坏的岗位。平均来说,新工作的工资比旧工作高。但是为了从技术进步中受益,人们必须掌握新的技能并更换工作。例如,在过去的15年里,对打字员的需求几乎降到了零,但是对能打字(用电脑而不是打字机)的人员和其他岗位的人员需求增加了。这些人比打字员创造的价值更高。因此,对具备打字技能的人的需求增加了。由于人口增长、技术变革和国内资本积累,劳动力供应增加了。家庭生产的机械化,如快餐准备服务(冰箱和微波炉)和洗衣服务(自动洗衣机、甩干机和晾衣架),减少了全职太太做家务花费的时间,因此劳动力供给大幅增加。结果,劳动力供给稳步增长,但增速低于劳动力需求。技术进步和资本积累使劳动力需求增加,超过了人口增长,而且国内生产的技术变革增加了劳动力供应,因此,工资提升了,就业岗位增加。但并不是每个人都能享受高薪带来的繁荣。一些群体被抛在后面,一些人甚至目睹他们的工资单价下降。这是为什么?可以确定主要有以下原因。首先,技术变革以不同的方式影响不同群体的边际生产率。高技能计算机工人从信息革命中受益,而低技能工人则遭受损失。对高技能工人的需求增加了,对低技能工人的需求减少了。其次,国际竞争降低了对低技能工人的边际收入产品的需求,从而降低了对其劳动力的需求。

    Warm People Likely to Keep Cold at Bay
    Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense.against getting ill,new study findings suggest.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus,researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill.
    The findings,published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,build on evidence that a"positive emotional style"can help ward off the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy people being less trou- bled by a scratchy throat or runny nose.
    "People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,"explained lead study author Dr.Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh."And when they do get a cold,they may interpret their illness as being less severe."
    Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold,but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.
    For the new study,the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits,self-perceived health and emotional"style".Those who tended to be happy,energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,while those who were often unhappy,tense and hostile had a negative style.
    The researchers gave them nasal drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus.Over the next six days,the volunteers reported on any aches,pains,sneezing or congestion they had,while the researchers collected objective data,like daily mucus production.Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes,happy people were less likely to develop a cold.

    A person with a positive emotional style must be an easy-going one.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段第二句的后半部分“… researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition were less likely to fall ill.”可知,性格阳光的人不太容易生病,但并不等于对疾病免疫。
    由文章第四段的“…happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold…”可知,快乐的人更加不容易患感冒。
    由文章的最后一句可知,Cohen和他的同事是依据客观数据得出的实验结论,而非主观测验。
    由文章第五段第二句可知,这些研究对象中既包括积极乐观的人,也包括悲观的人。
    第六段第一句中提到,研究者给这些志愿者一些含有感冒病毒或某种流感病毒的滴鼻剂,而不是预防感冒的药品,故选B。
    由文章第五段第二句可知,那些快乐、有活力且随和的人被认为具有积极的情绪。故本题正确。
    关于家庭和个人情绪类型的关系在文章中并未提及,因此本题答案为C。

    The study inferred that there's no relations between positive emotional style and getting cold.

    由文章第二段第一句可知,积极的情绪类型有助于预防感冒和其他疾病。
    由文章第二段第二句可知,研究者相信快乐能够增强人的免疫系统。
    文章中并未提及家庭和个人情绪类型的关系,因此本题答案为C。
