问答题There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. 21 Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships. Technolggy has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. 22 Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people"s likes or dislikes, or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin"s theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the option of refusing to believe it! 23 But hardly so with technology; we do not have the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air. 24 The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people—people in general, not merely some people; and future generation, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. 25 Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, and even social decay—so much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?

问答题The vaulting-off point of Ben Ratliff's biography is the belief that John Coltrane, tenor and so-prano saxophonist, was not only a towering performer but also the last major figure in the evolution of jazz. Indeed, jazz seemed to lose its way after he died in 1967, aged 40. Mr. Ratliff, jazz critic for the New York Times, leaves Coltrane's private life largely alone. For a jazzman, he kicked drugs and drink pretty early and afterwards led a remarkably suburban life. Rather, it is a biography of the Cohrane sound : an urgent, non-vibrato intensity that the saxophonist constantly reinvented—unlike most jazz musicians who professionally settle into a comfortable groove or who reinvent themselves at most once or twice in their lives. The Cohrane sound, unlike Charlie Parker's, did not spring fully formed on the listening public. Coltrane was something of a late and hesitant starter. He was nearly 30 when an assuredness settled in and he was able to harness his phenomenal technique and mastery of jazz lore to his urgent driven style, soloing in riffles and cascades of scales and arpeggios. The late 1950s were exceptional years for jazz. Though rock-and-roll had not yet swamped it, jazz big bands were no longer commercially viable. The jazz was in small clubs where quartets and quintets played live, and Cohrane was lucky to be hired by two superb bandleaders and teachers, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. But for Coltrane, all this was the beginning of the journey, not the end. At first he attempted to cram ever more into the Western harmony of jazz tunes: an ever-denser architecture of chord changes. Before long, even his technique exhausted those possibilities. He began to abandon harmony, turning to modes that seemed to speak of older things : African and native-American history, Eastern spiritual power, universal love. Then even the modes started to go. Many of his audiences lost him as he encouraged younger, more wayward players into his regular group; then his regular musicians went. Asked by a Japanese reporter in 1966 what he wished to be in ten years' time, Cohrane replied simply that he wanted to be a saint. And that, in many circles, is what after his death he became. To the cult's adherents, Coltrane's music by the end had ascended to a plane of intensity that was close to godliness, and could not be questioned. A Church of St John Cohrane exists in San Francisco: the founders first claimed that the musician was an incarnation of god, but later demoted him to sainthood. Mr. Ratliff's biography is particularly good in exploring Coltrane's afterlife. Coltrane's musical presence remains so powerful that even today jazz musicians, particularly horn players, are influenced by it—unless they define themselves in sharp contradistinction to it. But Mr. Ratliff investigates the charge that, if jazz as an evolutionary folk form died with Cohrane, it was he who killed it : pulling down its harmonic structure, destroying its sense of swing and knocking the pleasure and fun out of it in an ecstasy of self-indulgence. The late Robert Lowell, an American poet, spoke of "the monotony of the sublime" ; this could be applied to Coltrane. On the charge of destroying jazz, Mr. Ratliff finds Cohrane not guilty. But it is hard to escape a sense, both among those jazz players who followed him out to the wilder edges or those who struggled to bring the idiom back to its earlier harmonic forms, that jazz has been chasing its tail ever since he died. Had Coltrane's life not been cut short, where would his sound have chased next?

问答题{{B}}加强中非团结合作推动建设和谐世界{{/B}} 中华民族历来爱好和平，主张强不凌弱、富不侮贫，主张协和万邦。早在600年前，中国明代著名航海家郑和率领庞大船队4次到达非洲东海岸。他们给非洲人民带来的是和平的愿望和真诚的友谊，而不是刀剑枪炮和掠夺奴役。在近代以后的100多年中，中国人民曾经饱受列强的殖民侵略和压迫，同绝大多数非洲国家有着相似的历史遭遇和悲惨命运。中国人民从19世纪中叶到20世纪中叶开展的英勇的斗争，就是要反对殖民侵略和民族压迫，实现中华民族的独立和中国人民的解放，进而建设人民当家作主的新国家。今天，中国人民早已实现了自己的百年夙愿，正在为创造自己更加美好的生活而团结奋斗。正因为有着这样刻骨铭心的历史经历和奋斗过程，所以中国人民最坚决地反对一切形式的殖民、压迫、奴役活动，最真诚地同情一切为争取民族独立和人民幸福而奋斗的民族，最深切地理解这些民族的愿望和要求。新中国成立后，中国政府和人民为非洲人民争取民族解放、反对殖民主义统治的英勇斗争提供了政治上、物质上、道义上的坚定支持。中国过去不会、现在不会、将来也决不会把自己的意志以及不平等的做法强加于其他国家，更不会做任何有损于非洲国家和人民的事。中国尊重非洲人民自主选择适合自己国情的政治制度和发展道路，支持非洲国家加强民主法制建设和实施良好管理，支持非洲国家充分发挥自身优势、积极参与国际合作和竞争。

问答题People remember emotionally charged events more easily than they recall the quotidian. A sexual encounter trumps doing the grocery shopping. A mugging trumps a journey to work. Witnessing a massacre trumps pretty well anything you can imagine. That is hardly surprising. Rare events that might have an impact on an individual's survival or reproduction should have a special fast lane into the memory bank—and they do. It is called the α2b-adrenoceptor, and it is found in the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in processing strong emotions such as fear. The role of the α2b-adrenoceptor is to promote memory formation—but only if it is stimulated by adrenaline. Since emotionally charged events are often accompanied by adrenaline secretion, the α2b-adrenoceptor acts as a gatekeeper that decides what will be remembered and what discarded. However, the gene that encodes this receptor comes in two varieties. That led Dominique de Quervain, of the University of Zurich, to wonder if people with one variant would have better emotional memories than those with the other. The short answer, just published in Nature Neuroscience, is that they do. Moreover, since the frequencies of the two variants are different in different groups of people, whole populations may have different mixtures of emotional memory. The reason Dr. de Quervain suspected the variants might work differently is that the rarer one looks like the commoner one when the latter has a memory-enhancing drug called yohimbine attached to it. His prediction, therefore, was that better emotional memory would be associated with the rarer version. And that did, indeed, turn out to be the case in. his first experiment. This involved showing students photographs of positive scenes such as families playing together, negative scenes such as car accidents, and neutral ones, such as people on the phone. Those students with at least one gene for the rarer version of the protein (everyone has two such genes, one from his father and one from his mother) were twice as good at remembering details of emotionally charged scenes than were those with only the common version. When phone-callers were the subject, there was no difference in the quality of recall. That is an interesting result, but some of Dr. de Quervain's colleagues at the University of Konstanz, in Germany, were able to take it further in a second experiment. In fact, they took it all the way along a dusty road in Uganda, to the Nakivale refugee camp. This camp is home to hundreds of refugees of the Rwandan civil war of 1994. In this second experiment the researchers were not asking about photographs. With the help of specially trained interviewers, they recorded how often people in the camp suffered flashbacks and nightmares about their wartime experiences. They then compared those results with the α2b-adreno-ceptor genes in their volunteers. As predicted, those with the rare version had significantly more flashbacks than those with only the common one. Besides bolstering Dr. de Quervain's original hypothesis, this result is interesting because only 12% of the refugees had the rarer gene. In Switzerland, by contrast, 30% of the population has the rare variety—and the Swiss are not normally regarded as an emotional people. Whether that result has wider implications remains to be seen. Human genetics has a notorious history of jumping to extravagant conclusions from scant data, but that does not mean conclusions should be ducked if the data are good. In this case, the statistics suggest Rwanda may have been lucky: the long-term mental-health effects of the war may not be as widespread as they would have been in people with a different genetic mix. On the other hand, are those who easily forget the horrors of history condemned to repeat them?

汉译英论想象力的培养 我的讲话是主张培养想象力。 那么，我是从什么意义上使用“想象力”这个词的呢? “想象力”一词的定义是：“构思出理想图画的能力”；“向自己或他人描述不在眼前的事物的能力。”我在下面的讲话使用“想象力”这个词时，就具有这样的含义。 沿着这条思路，我相信可以把我的意思讲清楚。不在眼前的事物是什么呢?例如历史就是。历史讲的是过去的事情。从某种意义上来说，历史并不存在于脑中——就是说，你看不到过去的事情；但是学习历史能使你得到并增强理解不在眼前的事物的能力。因此我愿向你们推荐历史课，那是一门最值得学习的课程。
