(10 points) 0 【F1】Were moving; into another era, as the toxic effects of the bubble and its grave consequences spread through the financial system. Just a couple of years
2、 ago investors dreamed of 20 percent returns forever. Now surveys show that theyre down to a “realistic“ 8 percent to 10 percent range. But what if the next few years turn out to be below normal expectations? Martin Barners of the Bank Credit Analyst in Montreal expects future stock returns to avera
3、ge just 4 percent to 6 percent. Sound impossible?【F2】After a much smaller bubble that burst in the mid-1960s Standard Iraq would be even more unstable as a result of its liberation; and a conflict would increase the threat posed by terrorists.【F1 】What we did not know was that Tony Blair had receive
4、d intelligence and advice that raised the very same points.Last weeks report from the Intelligence and Security Committee included the revelation that some of the intelligence had warned that a war against Iraq risked an increased threat of terrorism. Why did Mr. Blair not make this evidence availab
5、le to the public in the way that so much of the alarmist intelligence on Saddams weapons was published?【F2】Why did he choose to ignore the intelligence and argue instead that the war was necessary, precisely because of the threat posed by international terrorism?There have been two parliamentary inv
6、estigations into this war and the Hutton inquiry reopens tomorrow.【F3 】In their different ways they have been illuminating, but none of them has addressed the main issues relating to the war. The Foreign Affairs Committee had the scope to range widely, but chose to become entangled in the dispute be
7、tween the Government and the BBC. The Intelligence Committee reached the conclusion that the Governments file on Saddams weapons was not mixed up, but failed to explain why the intelligence was so hopelessly wrong. The Hutton inquiry is investigating the death of Dr. David Kelly, a personal tragedy
8、of marginal relevance to the war against Iraq.Tony Blair has still to come under close examination about his conduct in the building-up to war. Instead, the Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon, is being fingered as if he were master-minding the war behind everyones backs from the Ministry of Defence. Mr.
9、Hoon is not a minister who dares to think without consulting Downing Street first. At all times he would have been dancing to Downing Streets tunes. Mr. Blair would be wrong to assume that he can draw a line under all of this by making Mr. Hoon the fall-guy.【F4】It was Mr. Blair who decided to take B
10、ritain to war, and a Cabinet of largely skeptical ministers that backed him. It was Mr. Blair who told MPs that unless Saddam was removed, terrorists would pose a greater global threateven though he had received intelligence that suggested a war would lead to an increase in terrorism.Parliament shou
11、ld be the forum in which the Prime Minister is called more fully to account, but Iain Duncan Smiths support for the war has neutered an already inept opposition.【F5 】In the absence of proper parliamentary scrutiny, it is left to newspapers like this one to keep asking the most important questions un
12、til the Prime Minister answers them.6 【F1】7 【F2】8 【F3】9 【F4】10 【F5】10 【F1】Sending your child to piano or violin lessons in a bid to boost their academic achievement is a waste of money, according to scientists.Although research has shown that youngsters who take music lessons are more likely to be t
13、op of their class, Professor Schellenberg claims this link is misleading.【 F2】Instead, improved academic performance may be because brighter children from privileged backgrounds are more likely to learn an instrument, rather than music classes helping to boost their intelligence. “Music may change y
14、ou a bit, but its also the case that different children take music lessons.“ said Professor Schellenberg, who added that parents education was the most influential factor on musicality.【 F3】Children who take music lessons come from families with higher incomes, they come from families with more educ
15、ated parents, they also do more extracurricular activities, they have higher IQs, and they do better at school.【F4】In tests on 167 children who played piano or other instruments, they found their answer to personality tests could predict how likely it was for them to continue their music lessons. Th
16、ose who were more outgoing and conscientious were more likely to continue to play. “We were motivated by the fact that kids who take music lessons are particularly good students, in school they actually do better than you would predict from their IQ, so obviously something else is going on.“ Profess
17、or Schellenberg told the American Association for the Advancement of Science(A A AS)annual conference in Boston.【F5】Asked if so-called helicopter parents were wasting their money sending their children to music lessons in the belief they could boost their school results, he said “yes“. “Clearly stud
18、ying music changes the brain, but so does any learning. In fact, that is what learning is.“ he said.11 【F1】12 【F2】13 【F3】14 【F4】15 【F5】15 Relativity theory has had a profound influence on our picture of matter by forcing us to modify our concept of a particle in an essential way.【F1】In classical phy
19、sics, the mass of an object had always been associated with an indestructible material substance, with some “stuff“ of which all things were thought to be made. Relativity theory showed that mass has nothing to do with any substance, but is a form energy. Energy, however, is a dynamic quantity assoc
20、iated with activity, or with processes.【F2 】The fact that the mass of a particle is equivalent to a certain of energy means that the particle can no longer be seen as a static object, but has to be conceived as a dynamic pattern.This new view of particles was initiated by Dirac when he formulated a
21、relativistic equation describing the behavior of electrons.【F3】Diracs theory was not only extremely successful in accounting for the fine details of atomic structure, but also revealed a fundamental symmetry between matter and anti-matter. It predicted the existence of an anti-matter with the same m
22、ass as the electron but with an opposite charge. This positively charged particle, now called the positron, was indeed discovered two years after Dirac had predicted it. The symmetry between matter and anti-matter implies that for every particle there exists an antiparticles with equal mass and oppo
23、site charge. Pairs of particles and antiparticles can be created if enough energy is available and can be made to turn into pure energy in the reverse process of destruction.【F4】These processes of particle creation and destruction had been predicted from Diracs theory before they were actually disco
24、vered in nature, and since then they have been observed millions of times.The creation of material particles from pure energy is certainly the most spectacular effect of relativity theory, and it can only be understood in terms of the view of particles outlined above.【F5 】Before relativistic particl
25、e physics, the constituents of matter had always been considered as being either elementary units which were indestructible and unchangeable, or as composite objects which could be broken up into their constituent parts. The basic question was whether one could divide matter again and again, or whet
26、her one would finally arrive at some smallest indivisible units.16 【F1】17 【F2】18 【F3】19 【F4】20 【F5】20 The technological revolutions of the last two decades have placed a severe burden on the concept of technology transfer. It is quite clear that the concept has serious limitations; with time, it is
27、not at all clear that its methods have improved or its result progressed.【F1】The underlying assumption in “technology transfer“ is that the application of new discoveries to the development of new technology through the developed countries produces results which are applicable to underdeveloped coun
28、tries. Although this assumption has never really been put to a true global test, it is through now clear that this can not be the main means of technological progress in developing areas such as Africa South East Asian and Latin America, irrespective of its possible utility elsewhere.【F2 】The questi
29、on is whether such an outcome is inevitable and inherent in the process or whether it merely reflects the shortage of resources and improper management. It is my contention that “technology transfer“ as a vehicle of progress for the developing countries is irreparably flawed and cannot succeed.【F3】T
30、he fundamental flaw is that “technology transfer“ is cast in the die of a colonial process where through developed countries do things in ways that they find acceptable for their former colonies, the developing countries. Whether the development process is carried out through citizens of the recipie
31、nt nation or not is irrelevant; the philosophy upon which “technology transfer“ is based, beginning with training and ending with application, is composed of a set of socioculturally and economically determined values within the institutionalized fabric of science, which select the questions found t
32、o be meaningful, dictate the preferred research plans and evaluate the significance only of the results obtained.Clearly, technology based on the set of determinants is not likely to be very relevant to the vastly different economic and sociocultural conditions of developing countries. It will hardl
33、y get to the needs of the developing countries, perhaps even serving to slow progress.【F4】This situation must be replaced through a new process which might be called “basic knowledge transfer“ as part of growth of a forefront science in the developing countries. This approach contains the following
34、features:Given full access to new scientific discovery at the cutting edge of science, that is, at the region of high intensity transfer from basic to applied knowledge, the scientists of developing countries can create their own technology transfer from basic to applied. Scientists in the developin
35、g countries, in active dialogue with other elements such as government, community and industry, can identify and prioritize problems and develop a practical situation.【F5 】The problem of internal “technology transfer“ will require for each country or region a suitable number of trained scientific sp
36、ecialists; means for maintaining the competency of these leaders will need to be developed through each nation or region.21 【F1】22 【F2】23 【F3】24 【F4】25 【F5】25 【F1】When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace, scientists immediately get to work, trying to locate the source of the aff
37、liction and find ways to combat it.Oftentimes, success is achieved, as medical science is able to isolate the parasite, germ or cell that causes the problem and finds ways to effectively kill or contain it. In the most serious of cases, in which the entire population of a region or country may be at
38、 grave risk, it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination, so as to safeguard lives and ensure that the disease will not spread.【F2】The process of vaccination allows the patients body to develop immunity to the virus or disease so that, if it is encountered, one can wa
39、rd it off naturally. To accomplish this, a small weak or dead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment, so that his bodys immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the disease s defenses is transmitted to all
40、 elements of the patients immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell.【F3 】This makes sure that, should the patient later come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped and trained to deal with it, having already done
41、 so before.There are dangers inherent in the process, however.【F4 】On occasion, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much for the body to handle, resulting in the immune system succumbing, and, therefore, the patients death.【F5】Such is the case of the smallpox
42、 vaccine, designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population and killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately 1 in 10, 000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself and dies from it. Thus, if the en
43、tire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today, 3, 000 Americans would be left dead.Fortunately, the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970s, ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disea
44、se, however, mandatory vaccinations may resume, resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process, which is truly a mixed blessing, may indeed hide some hidden curses.26 【F1】27 【F2】28 【F3】29 【F4】30 【F5】考研英语（翻译）模拟试卷 9 答案与解析Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then t
