问答题21. We might be inclined to attribute to the act of thinking complete from language if the individual formed or were able to form his concepts without the verbal guidance of his environment. Yet most likely the mental shape of an individual, growing up under such conditions, would be very poor. Thus we may conclude that the mental development of the individual and his way of forming concepts depend to a high degree upon language. This makes us realize to what extent the same language means the same mentality. In this sense thinking and language are linked together. What distinguishes the language of science from languages, as we ordinarily understand the word? How is it that scientific language is international? What science strives for is an utmost acuteness and clarity of concepts as regards their mutual relation and their correspondence to sensory data. As an illustration, let us take the language of Euclidean geometry and algebra. They manipulate with a small number of independently introduced concepts, respectively symbols, such as the integral number, the straight line, the point, as well as with signs which designate the fundamental concepts. This is the basis for the construction, respectively definition of all other statements and concepts. The connection between concepts and statements on the one hand and the sensory data on the other hand is established through acts of counting and measuring whose performance is sufficiently well determined. 22. The super-national character of scientific concepts and scientific language is due to the fact that they have been set up by the best brains of all countries and all times. In solitude and yet in cooperative effort as regards the final effect they created the spiritual tools for the technical revolutions which have transformed the life of mankind in the last centuries. Their system of concepts has served as a guide in the bewildering chaos of perceptions so that we learned to grasp general truths from particular observations. 23. What hopes and fears does the scientific method imply for mankind? I do not think that this is the right way to put the question. Whatever this tool in the hand of man will produce depends entirely on the nature of the goals alive in this mankind. Once these goals exist, the scientific method furnishes means to realize them. Yet it cannot furnish the very goals. The scientific method itself would not have led anywhere. It would not even have been born without a passionate striving for clear understanding. 24. Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem--in my opinion--to characterize our age. If we desire sincerely and passionately the safety, the welfare and the free development of the talents of all men, we shall not be in want of the means to approach such a state. Even if only a small part of mankind strives for such goals, their superiority will prove itself in the long run.

问答题St. Petersburg. The very name brings to mind some of Russia"s greatest poets, writer sand composers: Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky. 1 The 19th century was a golden age for St. Petersburg"s (圣彼得堡) wealthy classes. It was a world of ballets and balls, of art and literature, of tea and caviar (鱼子酱). 2 The golden age ended with the advent of World War I. Working people were growing more and more discontented. In 1917, Communism came, promising peace and prosperity. St. Petersburg had become Petrograd in 1914.People wanted a Russian name for their city. Ten years later, the city"s name changed again, this time to Leningrad. Then in 1991, Leningraders voted to restore the city"s original name. Some people opposed the name change altogether. 3 Others thought it was just too soon. Old, run-down Soviet Leningrad, they said, was not the St. Petersburg of 19th-centurg literature. What, then, is St. Petersburg? In the confusing post-Communist world, no one really knows. The quiet, if Soviet-style, dignity is gone. The Communist sayings are down and gaudy advertising up. Candy bars and cigarettes are sold from boxy, tasteless kiosks. And clothing? 4 Well, anything goes. Everyone wants to be a little different. But many people do not know the true meaning of freedom. Personal crime has gone up, up, up in the past few years. Yet in spite of this, you can still find some of the city"s grand past. Stand at the western tip of Vasilievsky Island. To the right is the elegant Winter Palace, former home of the czars. Its light blue sides and white classical columns make it perhaps St. Petersburg"s most graceful building. It houses one of the worlds most famous art museums: the Hermitage. Inside, 20kin of galleries house thousands of works of art. 5 Look over your right shoulder. The massive golden dome of St. Isaac"s Cathedral (圣以撒大教堂) rises above the skyline. You"ll see, too, why St. Petersburg is called a "float city." Standing there, nearly surrounded by water, you can see four of the city"s 42 islands.

问答题 1 Silicon Valley is a magnet to which numerous talented engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs from overseas flock in search of fame, fast money and to participate in a technological revolution whose impact on mankind will surely surpass the epoch-making European Renaissance and Industrial Revolution of the bygone age. With the rapid spread of the Internet since the early "90s, and the relentless technological innovations generated through it, the information era is truly upon us, profoundly influencing and changing not only our lifestyle, but also the way we work, do business, think and communicate with others. 2 The unprecedented success of the Valley is a testimony to the concerted international endeavors and contributions by people from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds, made possible by the favorable political, economic and intellectual climate prevailing, as well as the farsighted policies of the US government. Many countries have, or are in the process of creating, their own "Silicon Valley". So far, none has yet threatened the preeminence of the US prototype. What makes Silicon Valley such a unique entity? There are several crucial factors. 3 First and foremost, it has the largest concentration of brilliant computer professional and the best supporting services in the world, and easy access to world-class research institutions, like Stanford University, which continually nurtures would-be geniuses which the industry needs in order to move forward. Without these advantages, the Valley would be a different place. Secondly, it actively encourages, or even exalts, risk-taking. Hence, failure holds no terror and there is no stigma attached to a failed effort. On the contrary, they will try even harder next time round. Such never-say-die approach is the sine qua non for the ultimate triumph in entrepreneurship and technological breakthrough. A third decisive factor is the vital role of venture capitalists who willingly support promising start-ups with urgently needed initial capital to get them started. Some would even give failed entrepreneurs a second chance if convinced that a fresh concept might lead to eventual success. 4 Of equal importance, many bright young people and middle level professionals are keen to work for a new venture at substantially reduced remuneration, as it offers more scope for entrepreneurship and job satisfaction than the established companies. There is also a pride of achievement if their efforts contribute to its fruition. Intellectual challenges aside, it is a common practice for start-ups to offer generous share options to employees in order to attract the right talent into their folds. This is a powerful incentive to motivate the staff to do their utmost and to share in the company"s prosperity if it reaches its goal. Many regard this as the foundation of a successful enterprise. Those that have become high flyers, such as Netscape, Intel, Cisco and Yahoo, have turned many of their employees, including support staff like secretaries, into dot. corn millionaires overnight, often at the relatively young age of 20s or 30s. The Valiey"s professionals are among the most hardworking people anywhere. A 15hour day and 7-day week is not uncommon, especially during the start-up stage. They would give up social life, and curtail their family life too, in order to pursue the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is this single minded pursuit of excellence, supported by strong ethos of team work and esprit de corps, that sustain them until their mission is accomplished. Paper qualifications, though useful, is not a be all and end all. More weight is given to a candidate"s proven abilities and aptitude for the job. This is amply demonstrated by industry icons like Apple"s Jobs and Wozniak and Microsoft"s Gates, all college dropouts who might not have emerged in a qualification-conscious community. While racial prejudice no doubt still exists in the United States, albeit in a less degrading form as before, it is hardly discernible in the Valley. What counts most is one"s vision and track record, and not one"s nationality, skin color or creed. 5 This, together with its multiracial society, informal lifestyle and agreeable climate, lures foreigners to its shores. However, with the collapse of the US Nasdaq share index earlier this year resulting in the plunge in prices of technology shares listed on it and elsewhere, the hitherto valuable share options held by numerous paper dot. com millionaires have become virtually worthless in these changed circumstances. Those who could not take the heat, as it were, left their employment feeling disillusioned.

问答题Directions: In this part there is an essay in Chinese. Read it carefully and then write a summary of 200 words in English on the ANSWER SHEET. Make sure that your summary covers the major points of the passage. 全球气候变化与传染病 气候是传染病传播的重要影响因素之一，气象学家们预测到2100年，全球平均气温将上升20℃。气候变化将可能干扰地区的天气形式和生态平衡，从而造成对人体健康的多方面影响。在由气候变化产生的健康效应中，其中最重要的一个方面就是对传染病传播的影响。全球气候变化将直接或间接影响许多传染病(尤其是虫媒传染病譬如疟疾、血吸虫病、病毒性脑炎和登革热等)的传播过程。全球变暖还将使海平面和海表面温度上升，从而增加经水传播的疾病(例如霍乱和贝类水产品中毒)的发病率。 1．气候变化对虫媒传染病的影响 全球气候变化将影响虫媒传染病的传播，这些影响主要表现在改变虫媒的地区分布，增加虫媒繁殖速度与侵袭力和缩短病原体的外潜伏期。受气候变化影响较大的虫媒传染病包括疟疾、血吸虫病、登革热和其它虫媒病毒性疾病。 疟疾疟疾是全球流行最严重的虫媒传染病。气候因素(如温度和湿度)直接影响疟疾的传播，由于疟原虫一般在16℃以下难以存活，所以疟疾分布有地区性。温度可直接影响疟原虫的生长和蚊虫的生命周期。充沛的雨量有利于蚊虫的滋生，适宜的气候条件可加强蚊虫的侵袭力。计算机模型预测到2100年，世界人口受疟疾影响的比例将可能由现在的45%增至60%，即每年将新增病例5000万～8000万。 血吸虫病现场和实验资料表明，气温可影响血吸虫和钉螺的生长发育、繁殖和死亡，并可影响人群和疫水的接触情况。一般在低气温时(9℃以下)，血吸虫感染不会发生，但感染机率随气温升高而增加，气温在24℃～27℃时，血吸虫感染率可达最高。但气温过高时(39℃或以上)，可造成钉螺死亡，血吸虫感染率反而下降。此外，钉螺分布还受到降雨量的影响。最近据数学模型预测，到2050年，由气候变化而增加的血吸虫病例数可高达500万。 登革热和其它虫媒传染病全世界有五百多种虫媒病毒，其中一百多种可引起人类疾病，在适当情况下，虫媒病毒可引起相关疾病的爆发流行。受气候变化影响较大的虫媒病毒病包括登革热、病毒性脑炎和黄热病。 其它的一些虫媒传染病，譬如淋巴丝虫病和河盲病也可能受到气候变化的影响。 2．气候变化对水传播疾病的影响 气候变化(诸如气温升高，降雨量增加，更频繁的洪水，风暴和海平面上升等)和环境恶化(如在难民营里)可引起霍乱爆发流行。最近，霍乱流行的生态学观点越来越受到科学界的重视，即自然生态系统的失衡与霍乱大流行有关。现已知海洋浮游植物为霍乱(或副霍乱)弧菌提供了栖息场所。当海水温度上升或呈富营养化时(如沿海城市向海洋排污过多)，海洋浮游植物大量繁殖(如海藻泛滥造成“赤潮”)。这将有利于霍乱和其它疾病(如贝类海产品中毒)的爆发流行。 3．气候变化对其他传染病的影响 污染的食物能传播疾病，食物在其制作、储藏、运输和销售过程中均可能被污染。气候变化对以上污染过程可能造成影响，因此，全球趋暖将可能增加经食物传播疾病的发生。此外，其他一些传染病(如肾综合征出血热和钩虫病)的传播也可能受到气候变化的影响。 结论 传染病的模式和传播过程受到多因素的影响。不同传染病对气候变化的敏感程度是不一样的，为做好传染病的控制和预防工作，准确预测传染病的传播趋势极其重要。这需要建立新的，多学科合作的分析方法和积极发展传染病防治战略。加强流行病学监测有益于研究传染病的传播趋势，也有助于发展控制和预防疾病传播的公共卫生措施。全球气候变化，与其他正在改变的社会环境因素一起，已对传染病研究工作者提出新的挑战。
