Looking at how far we'll be able to fund the Health Service in the 21st century raises any number of thorny issues. (46){{U}}Many of the options have already been rehearsed in the press: excluding some treatments from the NHS, charging for certain drugs and services, and developing voluntary or compulsory health insurance schemes.{{/U}} Compared to its European Union counterparts Britain operates a low-cost health system: we spend about 7 per cent of GDP on health, compared with 9 per cent in the Netherlands and 10 per cent in France and Germany. In terms of health outcomes versus spend, we compare pretty favourably. I don't see private health care providing much of the solution to current problems. (47) {{U}}More likely is a shift from universal health coverage to top-up schemes which give people basic health entitlements but require them to finance other treatment through private financing, or opt-out schemes which use tax relief to encourage individuals to make private provision.{{/U}} Neither is close to being implemented, but the future could see a deliberate shift of attention to voluntary health .insurance and an emphasis on social insurance. (48) {{U}}I expect individuals to take greater responsibility for their personal health using technology that allows self-diagnosis followed by self-treatment or home care.{{/U}} Even so, higher taxes will plainly be needed to fund health care. (49) {{U}}I think we'll eventually see larger NHS charges, more rationing of medical services and restrictions on certain procedures without proven outcomes.{{/U}} Stricter eligibility criteria for certain treatments are another possibility. All such options would mean a sharp break with tradition and political fall-out that could be extremely damaging. (50) {{U}}None of them is going to win votes for the political party desperate enough to introduce them but then nobody is going to vote for ill-health or an early death either.{{/U}}

问答题Sir Richard Friend is a tough man to track down. Phone calls to his two labs at Cambridge University go unanswered, and so do e-mails. In the end, a reporter has to leave a note in his campus pigeonhole. The elusive Friend is the unlikely instigator of what may be a revolution in electronics: plastics. (46) Although most electronic devices make use of silicon chips, Friend sees a future in which mobile phones, TVs, watches, computers and other devices incorporate inexpensive plastic chips. (47) Friend"s vision is based on his own discoveries, back in the "80s and "90s, that plastics can be used to make transistors, the basic element of chips, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which glow when electricity passes through them. His work has already yielded a new generation of lighter, thinner, brighter, cheaper and more flexible electronic screens for everything from lightweight mobile phones to disposable "talking" electronic greeting cards. (48) Now he"s working on devices that might bring us talking cereal boxes or advertising posters that light up and speak as you walk by. The materials might even be spray-painted onto walls that change color with the weather, or go into pillboxes that tell you when to take your medication. It sounds farfetched, but the basic technology is already at hand. E-books with flexible screens that can be rolled up and put. into your pocket should start appearing in the next few years. (49) And plastic chips, which can be laid onto almost any surface, could be printed—just as ink is printed onto paper—onto any number of flexible surfaces. General Electric is working with the Department of Energy—to create large flexible sheets that could illuminate a room. If you think everything is digital now, just wait. (50) "Products in your fridge tagged with a chip would automatically change color after their sell-by date," says Peter Harrop, chairman of market-research firm IDTechEx. For his Cambridge students, Sir Richard has one word of advice: plastics.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. In what we like to think of as "primitive" warrior cultures, the passage to manhood requires the blooding of a spear, the taking of a head. Leadership too in a warrior culture is typically contingent on military bravery and wrapped in the mystique of death. {{U}}{{U}} 1 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}All warrior peoples have fought for the same high-sounding reasons: honor, glory or revenge, but the nature of their real and perhaps not conscious motivations is a subject of much debate{{/U}}. Some discern a materialistic motive behind every fight: a need for slaves, grazing land or even human flesh to eat; others point to the similarities between war and other male pastimes. But in a warrior culture it hardly matters which motive is most basic. Aggressive behavior is rewarded whether or not it is innate to the human psyche. {{U}}{{U}} 2 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}War, to a warrior people, is of course the highest adventure, the surest medicine to disease, the endlessly repeated theme of legend, song, religious myth and personal quest for meaning{{/U}}. It is how men die and what they find to live for. You must understand that Americans are a warrior nation. In many ways, in outlook and behavior the U.S. has begun to act like a primitive warrior culture. {{U}}{{U}} 3 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}We seem to believe that leadership is expressed, in no small part, by a willingness to cause the deaths of others—for lesser offices too we apply the standards of a warrior culture{{/U}}. Female candidates are routinely advised to overcome the handicap of their gender by talking "tough." Male candidates in some of the contests are finding their military records under scrutiny. And as in any primitive warrior culture, our warrior elite takes pride of place. Social crises multiply numbingly and our leaders tell us solemnly that nothing can be done. There is no money. {{U}}{{U}} 4 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}We are poor, not rich, a debtor nation, and nearly a third of the federal budget flows, even in moments of peace, to the warriors and their weaponmakers{{/U}}. When those priorities are questioned, some new "crisis" dutifully arises to serve as another occasion for armed and often unilateral intervention. A leftist might blame "imperialism"; a right-winger would call our problem "internationalism." But an anthropologist, taking the long view, might say this is just what warriors do. {{U}}{{U}} 5 {{/U}}{{/U}}{{U}}Drowned in their own drumbeats and war songs, fascinated by the glint of steel and the prospect of blood, they will go forth, time and again, to war{{/U}}.

问答题Pull a spring, let it go, and it will snap back into shape. Pull it further and yet further and it will go on springing back until, quite suddenly, it won"t. What was once a spring has become a useless piece of curly wire. 1 And that, in a nutshell, is what many scientists worry may happen to the Each if its systems are overstretched like those of an abused spring. One result of this worry was the idea of planetary boundaries. In the run-up to that year"s climate conference in Copenhagen, 2 a group of concerned scientists defined in a paper in Nature, what they thought of as a safe operating space for human development—a set of nine limits beyond which people should not push their planet. The eight areas of concern were: climate change; ocean acidification; the thinning of the ozone layer; intervention in the nitrogen and phosphate cycles; the conversion of wilderness to farms and cities; extinctions; the build up of chemical pollutants; and the level of particulate pollutants in the atmosphere. 3 For seven of these areas the paper"s authors felt confident enough to put numbers on where the boundaries actually lay, but for chemicals and particulates, they deferred judgment. Planetary boundaries provide a useful way of thinking about environmental change, because in many cases they give scope for further change that has not already happened. But the concept has numerous drawbacks. 4 The actual location of the boundaries is, as their proponents acknowledge, somewhat arbitrary, partly because of the incomplete state of current knowledge, but it may remain so however much anyone knows. Some boundaries might be transgressed without irreversible harm occurring. Some may have been drawn around the wrong things altogether. And some academic opinion holds that spectacular global change could come about without breaking through any of them. Another problem for the idea of planetary boundaries is the assumption that they are independent of each other. That seems unlikely, and if they are not then a crisis might arise even if no single boundary were transgressed. On June 7th, Nature published a review of evidence which suggested that this may be happening. 5 It suggested that the Earth may be approaching a "tipping point" past which simultaneous changes—to land use, climate and more—driven by an ever larger, ever richer human population, push the system into a very different state, with climate zones changed permanently, ecosystems functioning differently, and so on.
