Professors, especially those in medical-and technology-related fields, typically earn a fraction of what their colleagues in industry do. But suddenly, big money is starting t
12、o flow into the ivory tower, as university administrators wake up to the commercial potential of academic research. And the institutions are wrestling with a whole new set of issues.The profits are impressive: the Association of University Technology Managers surveyed 132 universities and found that
13、 they earned a combined $ 576 million from patent royalties in 1998, a number that promises to keep rising dramatically. Schools like Columbia University in New York have aggressively marketed their inventions to corporations, particularly pharmaceutical and high-tech companies.Now Columbia is going
14、 retail on the Web. It plans to go beyond the typical “dot. edu“ model, free sites listing courses and professors research interests. Instead, it will offer the expertise of its faculty on a new for-profit site which will be spun off as an independent company. The site will provide free access to ed
15、ucational and research content, say administrators, as well as advanced features that are already available to Columbia students, such as a simulation of the construction and architecture of a French cathedral and interactive 3-D models of organic chemicals. Free pages will feel into profit-generati
16、ng areas, such as online courses and seminars, and related books and tapes. Columbia executive vice provost Michael Crow imagines “millions of visitors“ to the new site, including retirees and students willing to pay to tap into this educational resource. “We can offer the best of whats thought and
17、written and researched,“ says Ann Kirschner, who heads the project. Columbia also is anxious not be aced out by some of the other for-profit “knowledge sites,“ such as About. com and Hungry Minds. “ If they capture this space,“ says Crow, “theyll begin to cherry-pick our best faculty. “Profits from
18、the sale of patents typically have been divided between the researcher, the department and the university, and Web profits would work the same way, so many faculty members are delighted. But others find the trend worrisome: is a professor who stands to profit from his or her research as credible as
19、one who doesnt? Will universities provide more support to researchers working in profitable fields than to scholars toiling in more musty areas?“If theres the perception that we might be making money from our efforts, the authority of the university could be diminished,“ worries Herve Varenne, a cul
20、tural anthropology professor at Columbias education school. Says Kirschner: “We would never compromise the integrity of the university. “Whether the new site can add to the growing profits from patents remains to be seen, but one thing is clear. Its going to take the best minds on campus to find a n

While the moral and philosophical aspects of the issues are entirel
26、y up to the interpretation of the individual, the application of cloning technology can be studied objectively. Many in the scientific community advocate the use of cloning for the preservation and support of endangered species of animals, which aside from cloning, have no other practical hope for a
27、voiding extinction.The goal of the use of cloning to avoid extinction is the reintroduction of new genes into the gene pool of species with few survivors, ensuring the maintenance and expansion of genetic diversity. Likely candidates for this technique are species known to have very few surviving me
28、mbers, such as the African Bongo Antelope, the Sumatran Tiger, and the Chinese Giant Panda. In the case of Giant Panda, some artificial techniques for creating offspring have already been performed, perhaps paving the way for cloning as the next step in the process.With the estimated population of o
29、nly about 1000 Giant Pandas left in the world, the urgency of the situation has led to desperate measures. One panda was born through the technique of artificial insemination in the San Diego Zoo in the United States. “Hua Mei“ was born in 1999 after her parents, Hsing-Hsing and Ling-Ling, had troub
30、le conceiving naturally.The plan to increase the Giant Panda population through the use of cloning involves the use of a species related to the Giant Panda, the American Black Bear. Egg cells will be removed from female black bears and then fertilized with Panda cells such as those from Ling-Ling or
31、 Hsing-Hsing. The fertilized embryo will then re-implanted into the black bear, where it will grow and mature, until a new panda is delivered from the black bear host.Critics of cloning technology argue that the emphasis on cloning as a method by which to preserve species will draw funding away from
32、 other methods, such as habitat preservation and conservation. Proponents of cloning counter that many countries in which many endangered species exist are too poor to protect and maintain the species habitats anyway, making cloning technology the only practical way to ensure that those species surv
33、ive to future generations. The issue is still hotly debated, as both sides weigh the benefits that could be achieved against the risks and ethical concerns that constantly accompany any argument on the issue.

41、t 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In November the European Parliaments culture and education committee is due to move forward on its proposed “audiovisual media services“ directive, before sending it to the full parliament in December. The new rules update and relax the “Television Without Frontiers“ directive of
42、1989, which opened Europes national markets. But critics complain that they also seek to extend fusty regulations from the era of broadcast television to todays very different technologies. Rules on advertising, the protection of children and so on could potentially also apply to all kinds of video
43、streams, including video blogs, online games and mobile-video services. This could have a chilling effect on innovation and risks stifling emerging technologies with rules designed for another age, says Chris Marsden of RAND Europe, a think-tank that has analysed the potential impact of the proposed
44、 rules for Ofcom, Britains media and telecoms regulator. “Regulators have to be thoughtful. They cannot predict the future of television “or the internetno one can,“ says Niklas Zennstr. m, a co-founder of Skype, who is now setting up an internet television firm. The proposed rules may be unrealisti
45、c as well as onerous. The idea that websites can be regulated like broadcasters, which are required to keep strict records of what they show in order to help watchdogs investigate complaints, is untenable. Firms could simply relocate outside the European Union to escape the new rules. Last week Ruth
46、 Hieronymi, a member of parliament, said she would introduce wording that might help to overcome some of the objections. Behind the debate is the question of how best to balance competition and protection. Traditional broadcasters worry that they will be shackled by regulations while brisk start-ups
47、 can do as they pleaseso they like the idea of extending regulation to their new rivals. But even if the rules are approved as they stand, they will not come into force until 2010. Such a long, slow process seems incongruous given the pace of technological change.（分数：10.00）(1).The change of televisi
