问答题46)Today, there's scarcely an aspect of our life that isn't being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. "If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology," says Microsoft, "a new car would cost about ＄2 and go 600 miles on a thimble of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza." Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. 47) Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. All the time spent online has left many young infotech workers without much time for life-or love-offline. 48) The U.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. The old adage of the title has a parallel in the scientific world "all research leads to biomedical advances". The fact that research in one discipline contributes to another is well understood by the scientific community. It is not, however, so clear to the public or to public policy-makers. (46) {{U}}Because public support for funding of biomedical research is strong, the scientific community could build a more effective case for public support of all science by articulating how research in other disciplines benefits biological medicine.{{/U}} The time is ripe to improve public appreciation of science. A recent National Science Foundation survey suggested that Americans continue to support research expenditures. In addition, public opinion polls indicate that scientists and science leaders enjoy enviably high public esteems. (47) {{U}}Instead of lamenting the lack of public understanding of science, we can work to enhance public appreciation of scientific research by showing how investigations are in many areas close-knit and contribute to biomedical advances. {{/U}}A crucial task is to convey to the public, in easily understood terms, the specific benefits and the overall good that result from research in all areas of science. Take, for example, agricultural research. (48) {{U}}On the surface, it may appear to have made few significant contributions to biomedical advances, except those directly related to human nutrition.{{/U}} This view is incorrect, however. In the case of nutrition, the connections between agricultural and biomedical research are best exemplified by the vitamin discoveries. (49) {{U}}At the turn of the century, when the concept of vitamins had not yet surfaced and nutrition as a scientific discipline did not exist, it was in a department of agricultural chemistry that the first true demonstration of vitamins was made.{{/U}} Single grain feeding experiments documented the roles of vitamins A and B. The essential role of some minerals (iron and copper) was shown later, and these discoveries provided the basis of modern human nutrition research. (50) {{U}}Despite such direct links, however, it is the latest discoveries that have been made in agricultural research that reveal its true importance to biomedicine.{{/U}} Life saving antibiotics such as streptomycin were discovered in soil microorganisms. The first embryo transplant was made in a dairy cow, and related research led to advances in the understanding of human reproduction.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points) (46) {{U}}For centuries the smoking of tobacco in cigarettes, cigars, and pipes has produced controversy over possible health hazards, but only since the 1950's has sufficient scientific evidence accumulated to make possible a thorough evaluation of the health risk.{{/U}} Scientific investigation of the relationship of smoking and health gained impetus after the beginning of the 20th century, then an increase in lung cancer was noted. As the use of tobacco increased, studies improved. (47) {{U}}Although some gaps in knowledge still exist, the information now available is sufficient to permit making sound judgments, based on the converging lines of evidence.{{/U}} (48) {{U}}Investigators have directed their principal consideration to cigarette smoking because the health consequences attributed to it far exceed those due to smoking cigars and pipes.{{/U}} The widespread popularity of cigarettes is comparatively recent in man's use of tobacco. The smoking pattern began to change at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, cigarettes have steadily become more popular than cigars and pipes. (49) {{U}}In the United States. per capita cigarette consumption — calculated for all persons 15 years of age and older, regardless of whether they smoked—rose from 49 per year in 1900 to 3,888 in 1960.{{/U}} Per capita consumption of cigars, pipe tobacco, and chewing tobacco declined sharply in the same period. Data presented in 1966 indicated a sharp reduction in cigarette smoking in the United States for men under the age of 55 with the trend continuing to 1970. Further increase in cigarette consumption for women of all ages was reported in 1966 and no further increase was noted 1966 and 1970. However, in 1970 overall per capita cigarette consumption rose. By 1962 the Royal College of Physicians of London reported:" Cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer and bronchitis, and various other less common diseases. It delays healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers." Some scientists, however, expressed dissenting opinions. The most widely publicized report in the United States was issued in 1964 by the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health. (50) {{U}}The principal judgment in the committee's 150,000-word report was: "Cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action."{{/U}} The smokers of pipes and cigars were found to incur less health risk. However, the incidence of cancer and heart disease among them was found to be greater than among nonsmokers.

问答题Directions: Read the following Chinese text and write an abstract of it in 80--100 English words on ANSWER SHEET 2. 如何让你的大脑更聪慧 益智的药物。 到了40岁左右，诚实的人就可能承认已经注意到他们的智力变化了。这是逐渐衰退的开端，我们当中有很多人到头来会变为痴呆。有几种可能产生被称为“认知增强”效果的药物，它们已经出现在市场上，还有二三十种其他药物也即将面世。或许最著名的要算莫达菲尼(modafinil)了。莫达菲尼可以使人保持清醒和机警连续达90小时，不会出现紧张不安和注意力不集中。事实上，失眠的人们在莫达菲尼的帮助下甚至能比他们充分休息而不用药时的表现还要好。 有益于思维的食物。 你的大脑是你身体里最贪婪的器官，对饮食有某些相当特殊的要 求。所以你吃的东西会影响你怎样思维，就不足为奇了。 首先，早餐必须具备最高的质量。给大脑持续稳定地供应葡萄糖是对大脑最好的营养方式，许多研究已经表明，不吃早餐会降低人们在学校和工作中的表现。英国厄尔斯特大学的巴巴拉·斯图尔特曾发现，烤面包加豆类是极好的组合。吃烤面包会在各种认知测试中增加儿童们的得分，但是如果测试变得难度更高，则含有高蛋白豆类的早餐效果最好。 对午餐的明智选择是炒鸡蛋和沙拉。鸡蛋富含胆碱，身体用它制造神经传递素乙酰胆碱。乙酰胆碱的低水平也与阿尔茨海默氏病有关，而有些研究表明，增加膳食的摄入量可以延缓与年龄有关的记忆丧失。午后3时左右，不要忘记弄点儿点心吃，以保持你体内的葡萄糖水平。 最后，你最好用草莓和蓝莓结束晚餐。用这些水果饲养的大家鼠已表现出了协调力、注意力和短期记忆力的提高。 莫扎特效应。 如今在威斯康星大学奥什科什分校工作的心理学家弗朗西斯·劳谢尔，10年前和她的同事们发现，听莫扎特的音乐可以提高人们的数学和空间推理能力，从而轰动一时。上音乐课的6岁儿童，与那些上戏剧课或者没有接受课外教育的儿童相比，他们的智商得分会高出2至3点。与此相似，劳谢尔发现，在空间推理测验方面，上过两年音乐课的学龄前儿童比上过计算机课的儿童得分更多。 有益的记忆训练。 人的智商是用脑力解决问题的各种能力(包括空间推理的各种技能、记忆和言辞推理)的一种测量尺度。直到最近，人们一直认为智商主要是由遗传学确定下来的固定不变的东西。但是近来有些线索表明，称为暂存记忆的一种最基本的大脑功能可能构成我们一般智力的基础，同时展现出让人感兴趣的可能性：如果你的暂存记忆得到改善，你的智商也就可以得到提高。 良好的睡眠。 睡眠不足对你的大脑极为有害。编制计划、解决问题、学习、集中注意力、暂存记忆和保持警惕，这一切都会遭受冲击。智商得分急剧下降。幸运的是，这种情况可以逆转，而且还不止于此。如果你让不失眠的人多睡上一两个小时，他们完成需要持久注意力的任务(如考试)会比平常时好得多。 锻炼身体。 对于那些厌烦学习的人来说，他们的夙愿得以实现。只要一个星期3次均衡慢速地步行半小时，就能将学习、专注和抽象推理等能力提高15%。在岁数较大的人中，这些效应特别显著。经常步行的老年人在记忆测试中的成绩比坐着不动的同龄人要好得多。更重要的是，几年下来，他们在各种认知测试中的得分比那些不步行的人的得分显示出少得多的下降。 积极的神经反馈。 神经反馈是从20世纪60年代流行的生物反馈疗法发展出来的。它通过向人们显示他们生理机能的某个看来不可控制方面(例如心率)的实时测量数字，并促使他们努力改变这个数字来达到治疗目的。令人惊讶的是，许多病人发现他们能够改变这个数字，不过他们很少有人能够描述是怎样做成这件事的。 德国蒂宾根大学的内尔斯·毕尔鲍麦尔想要了解，神经反馈是否能帮助患精神病的罪犯控制他们的冲动。而且有迹象表明，这种方法能提高创造性，增强我们的兴奋度，给懦弱的人以更多的自信，提高低落的情绪，改变左右脑活动间的平衡，还能改变性格特征。所有这一切都归功于大脑思维的力量。
