①Come on—Everybody’s doing it.②That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what

most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. ③It usually leads to no good—drinking, drugs and

casual sex. ④But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a

positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group

dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world.

①Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of examples of the social cure in action: In

South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make

cigarettes uncool. ②In South Africa, an HIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to

promote safe sex among their peers.

①The idea seems promising, and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. ②Her critique of the lameness of

many pubic-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they

demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology. ③“Dare to be different, please don’t smoke!”

pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers —teenagers, who desire nothing

more than fitting in.④Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from

advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.

①But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. ②Join the Club is

filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make

peer pressure so powerful. ③The most glaring flaw of the social cure as it’s presented here is that it doesn’t

work very well for very long. ④Rage Against the Haze failed once state funding was cut. ⑤Evidence that the

LoveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.

①There’s no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior. ②An emerging body

of research shows that positive health habits—as well as negative ones—spread through networks of friends via

social communication. ③This is a subtle form of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see

every day.

①Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and

steer their activities in virtuous directions. ②It’s like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back

row by pairing them with better-behaved classmates. ③The tactic never really works. ④And that’s the

problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing

our own friends. [432 words]

①A deal is a deal—except, apparently, when Entergy is involved. ②The company, a major energy supplier

in New England, provoked justified outrage in Vermont last week when it announced it was reneging on a

longstanding commitment to abide by the state’s strict nuclear regula tions.

①Instead, the company has done precisely what it had long promised it would not: challenge the constitutionality of Vermont’s rules in the federal court, as part of a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee

nuclear power plant running. ②It’s a stunning move.

①The conflict has been surfacing since 2002, when the corporation bought Vermont’s only nuclear power

plant, an aging reactor in Vernon. ②As a condition of receiving state approval for the sale, the company agreed

to seek permission from state regulators to operate past 2012. ③In 2006, the state went a step further, requiring

that any extension of the plant’s license be subject to Vermont legislature’s approval. ④Then, too, the company

went along.

①Either Entergy never really intended to live by those commitments, or it simply didn’t foresee what

would happen next. ②A string of accidents, including the partial collapse of a cooling tower in 2007 and the

discovery of an underground pipe system leakage, raised serious questions about both Vermont Yankee’s safety

and Entergy’s management —especially after the company made misleading statements about the pipe. ③

Enraged by Entergy’s behavior, the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 last year against allowing an extension.

①Now the company is suddenly claiming that the 2002 agreement is invalid because of the 2006 legislation, and that only the federal government has regulatory power over nuclear issues. ②The legal issues

in the case are obscure: whereas the Supreme Court has ruled that states do have some regulatory authority over

nuclear power, legal scholars say the Vermont case will offer a precedent-setting test of how far those powers

extend. ③Certainly, there are valid concerns about the patchwork regulations that could result if every state

sets its own rules. ④But had Entergy kept its word, that debate would be beside the point.

①The company seems to have concluded that its reputation in Vermont is already so damaged that it has

noting left to lose by going to war with the state. ②But there should be consequences. ③Permission to run a

nuclear plant is a public trust. ④Entergy runs 11 other reactors in the United States, including Pilgrim Nuclear

station in Plymouth. ⑤Pledging to run Pilgrim safely, the company has applied for federal permission to keep

it open for another 20 years. ⑥But as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviews the company’s

application, it should keep in mind what promises from Entergy are worth.

[442 words]

①In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and

collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work. ②But in the everyday

practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route. ③We aim to be

objective, but we cannot escape the context of our unique life experience. ④Prior knowledge and interest

influence what we experience, what we think our experiences mean, and the subsequent actions we take. ⑤

Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self-deception abound.

①Consequently, discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience. ②Similar to newly staked mining

claims, they are full of potential. ③But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery

claim into a mature discovery. ④This is the credibility process, through which the individual

researcher’s me,

here, now becomes the community’s anyone, anywhere, anytime. ⑤Objective knowledge is the goal, not the

starting point.

①Once a discovery claim becomes public, the discoverer receives intellectual credit. ②But, unlike with

mining claims, the community takes control of what happens next. ③Within the complex social structure of the

scientific community, researchers make discoveries; editors and reviewers act as gatekeepers by controlling the

publication process; other scientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes; and finally, the public

(including other scientists) receives the new discovery and possibly accompanying technology.

④As a

discovery claim works its way through the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and

competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into

the community’s credi ble discovery.

①Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process. ②First, scientific work tends to focus on some

aspect of prevailing Knowledge that is viewed as incomplete or incorrect. ③Little reward accompanies

duplication and confirmation of what is already known and believed. ④The goal is new-search, not re-search.

⑤Not surprisingly, newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to be important and

convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers. ⑥

Second, novelty itself frequently provokes disbelief. ⑦Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Szent-Gy?rgyi

once described discovery as “seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.”⑧But

thinking what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missed may not change their views. ⑨

Sometimes years are required for truly novel discovery claims to be accepted and appreciated.

①In the end, credibility “happens”to a discovery claim—a process that corresponds to what philosopher

Annette Baier has described as the commons of the mind. ②“We reason together, challenge, revise, and

complete each other’s reasoning and each other’s conceptions of reason.”

31. According to the first paragraph, the process of discovery is characterized by its

[A] uncertainty and complexity.

[B] misconception and deceptiveness.

[C] logicality and objectivity.

[D] systematicness and regularity.

32. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that the credibility process requires

[A] strict inspection.

[B] shared efforts.

[C] individual wisdom.

[D] persistent innovation.

33.Paragraph 3 shows that a discovery claim becomes credible after it

[A] has attracted the attention of the general public.

[B] has been examined by the scientific community.

[C] has received recognition from editors and reviewers.

[D] has been frequently quoted by peer scientists.

34. Albert Szent-Gy?rgyi would most likely agree that

[A] scientific claims will survive challenges.

[B] discoveries today inspire future research.

[C] efforts to make discoveries are justified.

[D] scientific work calls for a critical mind.

35.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?

[A] Novelty as an Engine of Scientific Development

[B] Collective Scrutiny in Scientific Discovery

[C] Evolution of Credibility in Doing Science

[D]Challenge to Credibility at the Gate to Science

①If the trade unionist Jimmy Hoffa were alive today, he would probably represent civil servants.

②When

Hoffa’s Teamst ers were in their prime in 1960, only one in ten American government workers belonged to a

union; now 36% do. ③In 2009 the number of unionists in America’s public sector passed that of their fellow

members in the private sector. ④In Britain, more than half of public-sector workers but only about 15% of

private-sector ones are unionized.

①There are three reasons for the public-sector unions’thriving. ②First, they can shut things down

without suffering much in the way of consequences. ③Second, they are mostly bright and well-educated. ④A

quarter of America’s public-sector workers have a university degree. ⑤Third, they now dominate left-of-centre

politics. ⑥Some of their ties go back a long way. ⑦Britain’s Labor Party, as its name implies, has long been

associated with trade unionism. ⑧Its current leader, Ed Miliband, owes his position to votes from public-sector

unions.

①At the state level their influence can be even more fearsome. ②Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy

Institute of California points out that much of the state’s budget is patrolled by unions. ③The teachers’unions

keep an eye on schools, the CCPOA on prisons and a variety of labor groups on health care.

①In many rich countries average wages in the state sector are higher than in the private one. ②But the

real gains come in benefits and work practices.③Politicians have repeatedly “backloaded”public-sector pay

deals, keeping the pay increases modest but adding to holidays and especially pensions that are already

generous.

①Reform has been vigorously opposed, perhaps most notoriously in education, where charter schools,

academies and merit pay all faced drawn-out battles. ②Even though there is plenty of evidence that the quality

of the teachers is the most important variable, teachers’ unions have f ought against getting rid of bad ones and

promoting good ones.

①As the cost to everyone else has become clearer, politicians have begun to clamp down. ②In Wisconsin

the unions have rallied thousands of supporters against Scott Walker, the hardline Republican governor. ③But

many within the public sector suffer under the current system, too.

①John Donahue at Harvard’s Kennedy School points out that the norms of culture in Western civil

services suit those who want to stay put but is bad for high achievers. ②The only American public-sector

workers who earn well above $250,000 a year are university sports coaches and the president of the United

States. ③Bankers’fat pay packets have attracted much criticism, but a public-sector system that does not

reward high achievers may be a much bigger problem for America.

36. It can be learned from the first paragraph that

[A] Teamsters still have a large body of members.

[B] Jimmy Hoffa used to work as a civil servant.

[C] unions have enlarged their public-sector membership.

[D] the government has improved its relationship with unionists.

37. Which of the following is true of Paragraph 2?

[A] Public-sector unions are prudent in taking actions.

[B] Education is required for public-sector union membership.

[C] Labor Party has long been fighting against public-sector unions.

[D]Public-sector unions seldom get in trouble for their actions.

38. It can be learned from Paragraph 4 that the income in the state sector is

[A] illegally secured.

[B] indirectly augmented.

[C] excessively increased.

[D] fairly adjusted.

39. The example of the unions in Wisconsin shows that unions

[A]often run against the current political system.

[B]can change people’s political attitudes.

[C]may be a barrier to public-sector reforms.

[D]are dominant in the government.

40. John Donahue’s attitude towards the public-sector system is one of

[A] disapproval.

[B] appreciation.

[C] tolerance.

[D] indifference.

Think of those fleeting moments when you look out of an aeroplane window and realise that you are flying,

higher than a bird. Now think of your laptop, thinner than a brown-paper envelope, or your cellphone in the

palm of your hand. Take a moment or two to wonder at those marvels. You are the lucky inheritor of a dream

come true.

The second half of the 20th century saw a collection of geniuses, warriors, entrepreneurs and visionaries

labour to create a fabulous machine that could function as a typewriter and printing press, studio and theatre,

paintbrush and gallery, piano and radio, the mail as well as the mail carrier.（41）.

The networked computer is an amazing device, the first media machine that serves as the mode of

production, means of distribution, site of reception, and place of praise and critique. The computer is the 21st

century’s culture machine.

But for all the reasons there are to celebrate the computer, we must also tread with caution. （42）. I call it a secret war for two reasons. First, most people do not realise that

there are strong commercial agendas at work to keep them in passive consumption mode. Second, the majority

of people who use networked computers to upload are not even aware of the significance of what they are

doing.

All animals download, but only a few upload. Beavers build dams and birds make nests. Yet for the most

part, the animal kingdom moves through the world downloading. Humans are unique in their capacity to not

only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous material goods—paintings, sculpture

and architecture—and superfluous experiences—music, literature, religion and philosophy. （43）.

For all the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people are still stuck in download mode. Even

after the advent of widespread social media, a pyramid of production remains, with a small number of people

uploading material, a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content, and a huge percentage

remaining content to just consume.（44）.

Television is a one-way tap flowing into our homes. The hardest task that television asks of anyone is to

turn the power off after he has turned it on.（45）.

What counts as meaningful uploading? My def inition revolves around the concept of “stickiness” —creations

and experiences to which others adhere.

[A] Of course, it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture and ultimately what it is to

be human. Downloading and consuming culture requires great skills, but failing to move beyond downloading

is to strip oneself of a defining constituent of humanity.

[B] Applications like https://www.wendangku.net/doc/2714660836.html,, which allow users to combine pictures, words and other media

creative ways and then share them, have the potential to add stickiness by amusing, entertaining and

enlightening others.

[C] Not only did they develop such a device but by the turn of the millennium they had also managed to

embed it in a worldwide system accessed by billions of people every day.

[D] This is because the networked computer has sparked a secret war between downloading and uploading—between passive consumption and active creation—whose outcome will shape our collective future

in ways we can only begin to imagine.

[E] The challenge the computer mounts to television thus bears little similarity to one format being

replaced by another in the manner of record players being replaced by CD players.

[F] One reason for the persistence of this pyramid of production is that for the past half-century, much of

the world’s media culture has been defined by a single medium— television —and television is defined by

downloading.

[G]The networked computer offers the first chance in 50 years to reverse the flow, to encourage thoughtful

downloading and, even more importantly, meaningful uploading.

Part C

Directions:

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)

Since the days of Aristotle, a search for universal principles has characterized the scientific enterprise. In

some ways, this quest for commonalities defines science. Newton’s laws of motion and

Darwinian evolution each

bind a host of different phenomena into a single explicatory framework.

(46) In physics, one approach takes this impulse for unification to its extreme, and seeks a theory of

everything—a single generative equation for all we see. It is becoming less clear, however, that such a theory

would be a simplification, given the dimensions and universes that it might entail. Nonetheless, unification of sorts

remains a major goal.

This tendency in the natural sciences has long been evident in the social sciences too. (47) Here, Darwinism

seems to offer justification, for if all humans share common origins, it seems reasonable to suppose that cultural

diversity could also be traced to more constrained beginnings. Just as the bewildering variety of human courtship

rituals might all be considered forms of sexual selection, perhaps the world’s languages, music, social and

religious customs and even history are governed by universal features. (48) To filter out what is unique from what

is shared might enable us to understand how complex cultural behavior arose and what guides it in evolutionary or

cognitive terms.

That, at least, is the hope. But a comparative study of linguistic traits published online today supplies a reality

check. Russell Gray at the University of Auckland and his colleagues consider the evolution of grammars in the

light of two previous attempts to find universality in language.

The most famous of these efforts was initiated by Noam Chomsky, who suggested that humans

are born with

an innate language-acquisition capacity that dictates a universal grammar. A few generative rules are then

sufficient to unfold the entire fundamental structure of a language, which is why children can learn it so quickly.

(49) The second, by Joshua Greenberg, takes a more empirical approach to universality, identifying traits

(particularly in word order) shared by many languages, which are considered to represent biases that result from

cognitive constraints.

Gray and his colleagues have put them to the test by examining four family trees that between them represent

more than 2,000 languages. (50) Chomsky’s grammar should show patterns of language change that are

independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it, whereas Greenbergian universality predicts

strong co-dependencies between particular types of word-order relations. Neither of these patterns is borne out by

the analysis, suggesting that the structures of the languages are lineage-specific and not governed by universals.
