Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success，but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science， eventually starving industry of flesh ideasIf every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企业家)，the argument goes，then the traditional principles of university research being curiositydriven：free and widely available will sufferOthers claim that many of the programs to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years. While this debate continues，new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germanys research networks，which bear famous names such as Helmholtz，Max Planck and LeibnizYet it is the fourth network，the Fraunhofer Society，that plays the greatest role in technology transfer Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now EuropeS largest organization for applied technology，and has 59 institutes employing 1 2，000 peopleIt continues to growLast yearit swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in BerlinToday, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia1 What factor Can be attributed to German prosperity?A Technology transferB Good managementC Hard workD Fierce competition2 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?A It is freeB It is profit-drivenC It is widely availableD It is curiositydriven3 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organization for applied technology inA Asia B USA C Europe D Africa4 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?A In 1940 B Last year C After the unification D In 19495 The word“expertisein line 3 could be best replaced by A “experts” B “scientists” C “scholars” D “special knowledge”第5部分：补全短文 (第4650题，每题2分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。You Need Courage!Shortly after I began a career in business，I learned that Carl Weatherup，president of PepsiCo(百事可乐公司)，was speaking at the University of ColoradoI tracked down theperson handling his, schedule and managed to get myself an appointment (46) So there 1 was sitting outside the universitys auditorium，waiting for the president of PepsiCoI could hear him talking to the studentsand talking，and talking (47)He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutesDecision time I wrote a note on the back of my business card，reminding him that he had a meeting“Youhave a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2：30 pm”I took a deep breath，pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle(过道)toward him as he talkedMrWeatherup stopped (48)Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the groupthat he was running lateHe thanked them for their attention，wished them luck and walked out to where 1 was now sitting，holding my breath He looked at the card and then at me“Let me guess”he said“Youre Jeff”He smiled (49)He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time，some wonderful stories that I still use，and an invitation to visit him and his group in New Y_0rkBut what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done (50)When things need to happen，you either have the nerve to act or you dontA I began breathing again and we grabbed(霸占)an office right there at school and closed the doorB As I sat listening to him，I knew that I could trust him，and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to himC I became alarmed：his talk wasnt ending when it should haveD He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him，and that nerve was the key tO SUCCESS in the business worldE 1 was told，however，that he was on a tight schedule and only had 1 5 minutes available after his talk to the business classF I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I cam
