问答题Questions 7 to 10 are based on the several stanzas from Edgar Allen Poe"s poem The Raven.The Raven Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door—" Tis some visitor," I muttered, " tapping at my chamber door—Only this and nothing more.Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.Eagerly I wished the morrow; —vainly I had sought to borrowFrom my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore—Nameless here for evermore.And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtainThrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating"Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—This it is, and nothing more. "Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,"Sir, " said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,That I scarce was sure I heard you"—here I opened wide the door—Darkness there, and nothing more.Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?"This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, " Lenore!"Merely this and nothing more.

问答题但是，科学成就既在智力方面让人兴奋又能投入实际应用，它取决于科学自我修正的特征。一定有办法证明任何正确的观点，也一定有办法重复正确的实验。科学家的人格或信念并不重要，至关重要的是论据是否能证实他们的论点。权威人士的论点并不重要，因为许多权威人士频频出错。我希望看到学校和媒体传播这些行之有效的科学思维模式。当然，看到它们被引入政界更让人惊喜。众所周知，新论据或新论点呈现在科学家的面前时，他们会公开并彻底改变他们的观点，可我想不起有哪位政客同样表示要开诚布公地改变其观点。

问答题The question before us is no longer the nature of the challenge—the question is our capacity to meet it. For while the reality of climate change is not in doubt, I have to be honest, as the world watches us today, I think our ability to take collective action is in doubt right now and it hangs in the balance. I believe we can act boldly, and decisively, in the face of a common threat. That"s why I come here today—not to talk, but to act. Now, as the world"s largest economy and as the world"s second largest emitter, America bears our responsibility to address climate change, and we intend to meet that responsibility. That"s why we"ve renewed our leadership within international climate negotiations. That"s why we"ve worked with other nations to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. That"s why we"ve taken bold action at home—by making historic investments in renewable energy; by putting our people to work increasing efficiency in our homes and buildings; and by pursuing comprehensive legislation to transform to a clean energy economy. These mitigation actions are ambitious, and we are taking them not simply to meet global responsibilities. We are convinced that changing the way that we produce and use energy is essential to America"s economic future—that it will create millions of new jobs, power new industries, keep us competitive, and spark new innovation.

问答题What a lark! What a Plunge! For so it had always seemed to her, when, with little squeak of the hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bour-ton into the open air. How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet(for a girl of eighteen as she then was)solemn, feeling as she did, standing there at the open window, that something awful was about to happen; looking at the flowers; at the trees with the smoke winding off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Wash said, " Musing among the vegetables?"—was that it—"I prefer men to cauliflowers"—was that it?

问答题科技进步是社会发展的重要标尺。1851年，英国举办第一届世博会，就是因为它是世界上最先开展工业革命的国家，并产生了很多科技产品。工业革命后带来的生产力发展令人震撼，在不到100年的时间中，人类社会所创造的生产力比过去一切时代创造的全部生产力还要多、还要大。如果和工业革命后的那一百年相比，人类在最近一百年创造的生产力不知又要大多少倍。上海世博会(Expo 2010 Shanghai)展示了人类最新科技成就，如新一代移动通信、人工智能、新材料、生态节能建筑等，彰显了人类无尽的智慧和创造力。

问答题There are a great many reasons for studying what philosophers have said in the past. One is that we cannot separate the history of philosophy from that of science. Philosophy is largely discussion about matters on which few people are quite certain, and those few hold opposite opinions. As knowledge increases, philosophy buds off the sciences. We also see how every philosopher reflects the social life of his day. But we can hardly guess what the world will look like to men and women with several generations of communism behind them, who take the brotherhood of man for granted, not as an ideal to be aimed at, but a fact of life, and yet know that this brotherhood was only achieved by ghastly struggles. The study of philosophies should make our own ideas flexible. We are all of us apt to fake certain general ideas for granted, and call them common sense. We should learn that other people have held quite different ideas, and that our own have started as very original guesses of philosophers. If a dog could speak, it would probably not distinguish between motion and life. Some primitive men do not do so, and travelers interpret them as saying there are spirits everywhere. In our age of machines we are apt to look for mechanical explanations of everything, yet it is only three hundred years since machines had been developed so far that Descartes first suggested that animal and human bodies were machines. A scientist is apt to think that all the problems of philosophy will ultimately be solved by science. I think this is true for a great many of the questions on which philosophers still argue. For example, Plato thought that when we saw something, one ray of light came to it from the sun, and another from our eyes, and that seeing was something like feeling with a stick. We now know that the light comes from the sun, and is reflected into our eyes. We don't know in much detail how the changes in our eyes give rise to sensation. But there is every reason to think that we learn more about the physiology of the brain, we shall do so, and that the great philosophical problems about knowledge and will are going to be pretty fully cleared up. But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others which perplex us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know, namely the future. However exact our science, we cannot know it as we know the past. Philosophy may be described as argument about things of which we are ignorant. And where science gives us a hope of knowledge it is often reasonable to suspend judgment. That is one reason why Marx and Engels quite rightly wrote so little on many philosophical problems which interested their contemporaries.

问答题Yet the implication that rapid change is a new phenomenon is again misleading. If you measure the time it takes for a technology to become widely diffused, today's experi ence does not seem unusual. Take the car. The basic patent for an internal-combustion en gine capable of powering a car was filed in 1877. By the late 1920s—50 years later—over half of all American households owned a car.

问答题The heads of some of Russia's most prestigious educational establishments yesterday admitted that students use surrogates (代理人) to gain entry to top institutes, whose qualifications are a passport to lucrative jobs. The surrogate students are only the latest symptom of an epidemic of corruption that has gripped the Russian higher education system. A report published this week by the Ministry of Education and Moscow's Higher School of Economics (HSE) showed that more than $300m was paid in bribes to enter the country's educational establishments last year. A direct bribe to lecturers to enter an institution can be up to $30000 for a top law faculty, the HSE estimates. "In our school alone this spring we caught four impostors who were attempting to sit the entrance tests in place of others, " said Grigory Kantorovich, deputy head of the HSE. "Those were not isolated cases; it's a whole, specialised business. " Such corruption is multiplied by a burgeoning market in coursework and diplomas written by teachers and lecturers, which can be bought over the Internet. A police spokesman said there was no dedicated unit for tackling corruption in education, but individual cases were investigated if evidence was handed over.

问答题Anything approaching the change that came over his features I have never seen before, and hope never to see again. Oh, I wasn"t touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent.I saw on that ivory face the expression of somber pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror—of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision—he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath: " " The horror! The horror! " ..."
