填空题The ______ purpose of scientific discourse is not the mere presentation of information and thought, but rather its actual communication. (fundament)

填空题The natural environment still manages to fill us with a sense of awe and amazement. Despite the amount of scientific knowledge mankind has gathered, nature still holds great mysteries that we may never be able to unravel. This complexity has continually daunted man. 1 ______ As a result, we have distanced ourselves from the earth, even though our survival is completely dependent on it. We are now trying to regain our close connection to nature. 2 ______Referred to as "natural architecture", it aims to create a new, more harmonious, relationship between man and nature by exploring what it means to design with nature in mind. The roots of this movement can be found in earlier artistic shifts like the "land art" movement of the late nineteen sixties. Although this movement was focused on protesting the austerity of the gallery and the commercialization of art, it managed to expand the formal link between art and nature. 3 ______ The movement is characterized the work of a number of artists, designers and architects that express these principles in their work. The pieces are simple, humble and built using the most basic materials and skills. 4 ______The forms are stripped down to their essence, expressing the natural beauty inherent in the materials and location. The movement has many forms of expression that range from location-based interventions to structures built from living materials. However, all of the works in the movement share a central distinctive spirit that demonstrates a respect and appreciation for nature. These works are meant to comment on architecture and provide a new framework to approach buildings and structures. They aim to infuse new ideas into architecture by subverting the idea that architecture should shelter nature. 5 ______We see the branches, the rocks and all the materials for what they are. We understand that these structures won"t exist forever. The materials will evolve over time, slowly decomposing until no evidence remains. These features are intentional, provoking viewers to question the convention of architecture. The designers aren"t suggesting that architecture must conform to their vision, they are just providing ideas that they hope will inspire us all to rethink the relationship between nature and the built environment. A. This has helped develop a new appreciation of nature in all forms of art and design. B. Instead, the structures deliberately expose the natural materials used in the building process. C. The core concept of the movement is that mankind can live harmoniously with nature, changing and using it for our needs D. There is an emerging art movement that is exploring mankind"s desire to reconnect to the earth, through the built environment. E. Because of this, the results often resemble native architecture, reflecting the desire to return to a less technological world. F. In frustration, we try to control nature by enforcing order.

填空题Do mobile phones cause explosions at petrol stations? That question has just been exhaustively answered by Adam Burgess, a researcher at the University of Kent, in England. Oddly, however, Dr Burgess is not a physicist, but a sociologist. For the concern rests not on scientific evidence of any danger, but is instead the result of sociological factors: it is an urban myth, supported and propagated by official sources, but no less a myth for that. Dr Burgess presented his findings this week at the annual conference of the British Sociological Association. Mobile phones started to become widespread in the late 1980s, when the oil industry was in the middle of a concerted safety drive, Dr Burgess notes. This was, in large part, a response to the Piper Alpha disaster in 1988, when 167 people died in an explosion on an oil platform off the Scottish coast. (41) So nobody questioned the precautionary ban on the use of mobile phones at petrol stations. The worry was that an electrical spark might ignite explosive fumes. (42) But it was too late. The myth had taken hold. One problem, says Dr Burgess, is that the number of petrol-station fires increased in the late 1990s, just as mobile phones were proliferating. Richard Coates, BP's fire-safety adviser, investigated many of the 243 such fires that occurred around the world between 1993 and 2004. He concluded that most were indeed caused by sparks igniting petrol vapour, but the sparks themselves were the result of static electricity, not electrical equipment. Most drivers will have experienced a mild electric shock when climbing out of their vehicles. It is caused by friction between driver and seat, with the result that both end up electrically charged. When the driver touches the metal frame of the vehicle, the result is sometimes a spark. (43) (44) One e-mail contained fictitious examples of such explosions said to have happened in Indonesia and Australia: Another, supposedly sent out by Shell, found its way on to an internal website at Exxon, says Dr Burgess, where it was treated as authoritative by employees. Such memos generally explain static fires quite accurately, but mistakenly attribute them to mobile phones. Official denials, says Dr Burgess, simply inflame the suspicions of conspiracy theorists. (45) Warning signs abound in Britain, America, Canada and Australia. The city of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, introduced a ban last year. And, earlier this month, a member of Connecticut's senate proposed making the use of mobile phones in petrol stations in that state punishable by a $ 250 fine.[A] The safety drive did not apply merely to offshore operations: employees at some British oil-company offices are now required to use handrails while walking up and down stairs, for example.[B] As a result, the company had to pay a huge amount of compensation to the families of the victims and law suits concerning those fires seemed to be endless.[C] A further complication was the rise of the internet, where hoax memos, many claiming to originate from oil companies, warned of the danger of using mobile phones in petrol stations.[D] This is particularly noticeable in Britain. The country that led the way in banning mobile phones at petrol stations is also the country that has taken the strongest line on the safety of mobile-phone use by children.[E] Despite the lack of evidence that mobile phones can cause explosions, bans remain in place around the world, though the rules vary widely.[F] By the late 1990s, however, phone makers--having conducted their own research-- realized that there was no danger of phones causing explosions since they could not generate the required sparks.[G] This seems to have become more common as plastic car interiors, synthetic garments and rubber-soled shoes have proliferated.

填空题Translate the following passage into English．(苏州大学2009研，考试科目：翻译与写作) 毛姆说：“莫泊桑是一位自然主义者，一味追求真实，而他所达到的真实，在今天看来未免有些肤浅……，这对莫泊桑带来的结果是人物刻画的简单化。”毛姆对莫泊桑的评论，虽然针对的是文学史上的个案，但对于经典作家作品的阅读、鉴赏和批评却有着普适性的意义。细读毛姆，首先让我们生出敬意的，是他对待文学经典的心态——以艺术至上为本位的科学分析态度。对莫氏，他既指出了其他作品致命弱点又对艺术技巧作出了恰如其分的很高的评价，而且充满了热情。 毛姆给我们的又一个重要启示，就是他的思辨方法——那是一种艺术哲学在批评实践中的具体而细微的体现。“没有十全十美的作家”、“经典作家的缺点，往往是他优点的补充”——这些话充满了艺术辩证法。这一点，对于曾经长期经受“左倾思维”、“大跃进思维”和“文革思维”影响的我们几代人来说，尤其显得重要。是啊，我们公正的回望巴尔扎克、托尔斯泰、梅里美、曹雪芹、鲁迅等伟大作家，他们的缺点(有些只能说是特点)，不正是其优点的延长和补充吗?
