问答题科学与文化的其他方面关系长期紧张。想一想,17世纪的伽利略因其信念离经叛道,遭到天主教会的审判;诗人威廉·布莱克尖锐地批评了艾萨克·牛顿的机械论世界观。在本世纪如果说有区别的话,那就是科学与人文科学间的裂痕更深了。
前些年,科学界势力强大,对批评者可以置之不理——但现在不同了。由于科研经费减少,科学家推出几本书来抨击“反科学”的倾向。其中,值得注意的有弗吉尼亚大学生物学家保罗R.格罗斯与拉特格斯大学教学家诺曼·莱维特合著的《高级迷信》及康奈尔大学的卡尔·萨根著的《鬼怪世界》。科学捍卫者还在集会上表达他们的忧虑,比如,1995年在纽约城举行的“飞越科学与理性”大会和去年6月在布法罗附近召开的“信息(迷信)时代的科学”大会。
很明显,反科学对不同的人有着不同的含义。格罗斯和莱维特针对那些质疑科学客观性的社会学家、哲学家及其他学者,主要挑他们的毛病。萨根更关注那些相信鬼怪、上帝造物及信奉其他与科学世界观相左的人。
1996年对新闻报道的调查披露反科学的标签也已贴在许多其他群体身上,从提倡消灭现在保存的全部天花病毒的官员到鼓吹削减基础研究的共和党人。
把该词用到反原子弹组织身上也不会引起多大争议。它在1995年公开发表声明藐视科学,渴望回到前技术时代的理想社会。但这当然不是说,对不加控制的工业发展表示担忧的环保主义者也是反科学的,而去年五月份刊载在《美国新闻与世界报道》的一篇文章似乎有此种暗示。
环保主义者毫无疑问要对这种批评作出反应。处于环境研究前沿的斯坦福大学的保罗·埃利希认为,科学的真正敌人是那些对工业增长使全球变暖、臭氧层日渐稀薄及其他后果的证据提出质疑的人。
的确,这些观察家担心反科学这个词语会变得毫无意义。哈佛大学的哲学家杰拉尔德·霍尔顿在他1993年发表的《科学与反科学》的著作中写道:“‘反科学’一词可以涵盖太多的截然不同的东西,它们只有一个共同点就是会激怒或威胁那些自以为比别人更高明的人。”

问答题Desertification in the arid United States is flagrant. Groundwater supplies beneath vast stretches of land are dropping precipitously. Whole river systems have dried up; others are chocked with sediment washed from denuded land. 71. Hundreds of thousands of acres of previously irrigated cropland have been abandoned to wind or weeds. Several million acres of natural grassland are eroding at unnaturally high rates as a result of cultivation or overgrazing. All told, about 225 million acres of land are undergoing severe desertification. 72. Federal subsidies encourage the exploitation of arid land resources. Low-interest loans for irrigation and other water delivery systems encourage farmers, industry, and municipalities to mine groundwater. Federal disaster relief and commodity programs encourage arid-land farmers to plow up natural grassland to plant crops such as wheat and, especially cotton. Federal grazing fees that are well below the free market price encourage overgrazing of the commons. The market, too, provides powerful incentives to exploit arid land resources beyond their carrying capacity. 73. When commodity prices are high relative to the farmer's or rancher's operating costs, the return on a production-enhancing investment is invaribly greater than the return on a conservation investment. And when commodity prices are relatively low? arid land ranchers and farmers often have to use all their available financial resources to stay solvent. 74. If the United States is, as it appears, well on its way toward overdrawing the arid land resources? then the policy choice is simply to pay now for the appropriate remedies or pay far more later, when productive benefits from arid - land resources have been both realized and largely terminated.

问答题1.他是个极其自负的怪人。除非事情与自己有关,否则他从来不屑对世界或世人瞧上一眼。对他来说,他不仅是世界上最重要的人物,而且在他眼里,他是唯一活在世界上的人。他认为自己是世界上最伟大戏剧家之一、最伟大的思想家之一、最伟大的作曲家之一。听听他的谈话,仿佛他就是莎士比亚、贝多芬、柏拉图,集三人于一身。想要听到他的高论十分容易,他是世上最能使人精疲力竭的健谈者之一。同他度过一个夜晚,就是听他一个人滔滔不绝地讲一个晚上。有时,他才华横溢;有时,他又令人极其厌烦。但无论是妙趣横生还是枯燥无味,他的谈话只有一个主题:他自己,他的所思所为。
2.他狂妄地认为自己总是正确的。任何人在最无足轻重的问题上露出丝毫的异议,都会激起他的谴责。他可能会一连好几个小时滔滔不绝,千方百计地证明自己如何如何正确。有了这种使人耗尽心力的雄辩本事,听者最后都被他弄得头昏脑胀,耳朵发聋,为了图个清净,只好同意他的说法。

问答题Moreover, the Coleman report found that the gap between black and white children's achievement scores appeared as early as the first grade and--even more surprising in roughly equal settings--this gap became even larger the longer the children were in school. Later researchers found more and more evidence that school tend to increase rather than reduce inequalities of class and race.

问答题Part A Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: "I will take an interest in this or that. " Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week's sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or businessman, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry trifling things at the weekend.
