11、rk your answer on the ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letterin the brackets. (40 points)- 2 -Text 1Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientificknowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units，one man could continue
12、 to handle theinformation and use it as the basis for further research. But specialisation was only one of a series ofrelated developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growingprofessionalisation of scientific activity.No clear-cut distinction can be drawn betwee
13、n professionals and amateurs in science: exceptionscan be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word “amateur” does carry a connotation that the personconcerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully shareits values. The growth of specialisation in the
14、 nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of alonger, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. Thetrend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical orlaboratory training, and can be illustrated in ter
15、ms of the development of geology in the UnitedKingdom.A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simplyan increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutesan acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nin
16、eteenth century, local geological studies representedworthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasinglybecome acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geologicalpicture.Amateurs, on the other hand, have contin
17、ued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overallresult has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result thathas been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in thenineteenth century and then by several loca
18、l geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logicalconsequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards eitherprofessional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professionalgeologists coming together nationally wit
19、hin one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs havetended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.Although the process of professionalisation and specialisation was already well under way inBritish geology during the nineteenth century, its full
20、 consequences were thus delayed until thetwentieth century. In science generally, however, the nineteenth century must be reckoned as thecrucial period for this change in the structure of science.- 3 -21. The growth of specialisation in the 19th century might be more clearly seen in sciences such as
21、_ .AJ sociology and chemistryB physics and psychologyC sociology and psychologyD physics and chemistry22. We can infer from the passage that _.A there is little distinction between specialisation and professionalisationB amateurs can compete with professionals in some areas of scienceC professionals
22、 tend to welcome amateurs into the scientific communityD amateurs have national academic societies but no local ones23. The author writes of the development of geology to demonstrate _.A the process of specialisation and professionalisationB the hardship of amateurs in scientific studyC the change o
23、f policies in scientific publicationsD the discrimination of professionals against amateurs24. The direct reason for specialisation is _.A the development in communicationB the growth of professionalisationC the expansion of scientific knowledgeD the splitting up of academic societies- 4 -Text 2A gr
24、eat deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide-the division of theworld into the info (information) rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife andI lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were thenew,
25、 positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic.There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomesmore and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access-after all, themore people on
26、line, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid theircountries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to twobillion people on the planet will he netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide willnarrow
27、rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may wellbe the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that weve ever had.Of course, the use of the Internet isnt the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not theonly tool we have. But it has enor
28、mous potential.To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdatedanti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investmentis an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure（
29、the basic structuralfoundations of a society） in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure,it didnt have the capital to do so. And that is why Americas Second Wave infrastructure-includingroads, harbors, highways, ports and so on-were built with foreign investment
30、. The English, theGermans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britains former colony. They financed them.Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the samething would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capi
31、tal youhave helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, thebetter off youre going to be. That doesnt mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreigncorporations run uncontrolled. But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in buil
32、ding theenergy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.- 5 -25. Digital divide is something _.A getting worse because of the InternetB the rich countries are responsible forC the world must guard againstD considered positive today26. Governments attach importance to
33、 the Internet because it _.A offers economic potentialsB can bring foreign fundsC can soon wipe out world povertyD connects people all over the world27. The writer mentioned the case of the United States to justify the policy of _.A providing financial support overseasB preventing foreign capitals c
34、ontrolC building industrial infrastructureD accepting foreign investment28.It seems that now a countrys economy depands much on _.A how well-developed it is electronicallyB whether it is prejudiced against immigrantsC whether it adoptsAmericas industrial patternD how much control it has over foreign
35、 corporations- 6 -Text 3Why do so manyAmericans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society ofNewspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a longself-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.Sad to say, this project has
36、turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors andspelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in theworld those readers really want.But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set ofstanda
37、rd templates (patterns) into which they plug each days events. In other words, there is aconventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrativestructure for otherwise confusions news.There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and th
38、eir readers which helpsexplain why the “standard templates”of the newsroom seem alien many readers. In a recent survey,questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle size cities around the country, plus one largemetropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and a
39、sked the samequestions.Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscaleneighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and theyre less likely to go to church,do volunteer work, or put down roots in community.Reporters tend to be part of a b
40、roadly defined social and cultural elite, so their work tends toreflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isnt rooted ininaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and theirreaders.This is an explosive
41、situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubledbusiness that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lotsof symposiums and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed andfleeing in large numbers. But
42、it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases thatso many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, nowfocused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values,education, and class.- 7 -29
43、. What is the passage mainly about?A needs of the readers all over the world.B causes of the public disappointment about newspapers.C origins of the declining newspaper industry.D aims of a journalism credibility project.30. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be _.A quit
44、e trustworthyB somewhat contradictoryC very illuminatingD rather superficial31. The basic problem of journalists as pointed out by the writer lies in their _.A working attitudeB conventional lifestyleC world outlookD educational background32. Despite its efforts, the newspaper industry still cannot
45、satisfy the readers owing to its_.A failure to realize its real problemB tendency to hire annoying reportersC likeliness to do inaccurate reportingD prejudice in matters of race and gender- 8 -Text 4The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. Theprocess sw
46、eeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries withunsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying: Wont the waveof business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anti-competitive force?Theres no question that the big are getting bi
47、gger and more powerful. Multinational corporationsaccounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% andgrowing rapidly. International affiliates account for a fast-growing segment of production ineconomies that open up and welcome foreign investment. In Ar
48、gentina, for instance, after the reformsof the early 1990s, multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the200 largest firms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economicfirms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of
49、 the world economy.I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underliethe globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investmentbarriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting
50、 customers demands.All these are beneficial, not detrimental, to consumers. As productivity grows, the worlds wealthincreases.Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard toimagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to
