The Institute of Physics set out to find out whet

8、her the stereotype of a physics boffin (科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London. The people were asked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible suspects. 98 percent of those asked got it wrong. The majority of people picked a white male of around 60,

9、 wearing glasses and with a white beard.While this stereotype may have been the image of an average physicist fifty years ago, the reality is now very different. Since 1960 the number of young women entering physics has doubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31.The stereotype of the absen

10、t-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media and Hollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboards full of equations(等式)or working with fizzing (嘶嘶响)test tubes. These stereotypes are really damaging to society. Very good school children are

11、 put off studying science because they dont see people like themselves on television or in magazines doing science. They simply dont relate to the medias image of the mad scientist.This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university. If we want to encourage more young

12、people to study science subjects, we need to change this image of the scientist and make science careers more attractive. But we must also develop childrens interest in science.In an attempt to change this negative image, an increasing number of science festivals are being organized. Thousands of pe

13、ople from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in nationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads. Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different country ever

14、y year. These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science. It seems that there is a long way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion and design.1

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can l

As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated members of the populatio

20、n. As a result, attendance is increasing.More and more, museums directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experime

In addition to the usual displays, they also offer film showings and dance programs. Instead of being place

23、s that one should visit, they are places to enjoy.One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time. Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population. Many of these young people are college students or college graduates. They are better educated than t

In the US and Canada alone, there are now more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. About half of them are devoted to hist

27、ory, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and sciences. The number of visitors, according to the American Association of museums, has risen to more than 700 million a year.In fact, the crowds of visitors at some museums are creating a major problem. Admission to museums has always been e

It has become clear t

32、hat even if we take the most strong measures to control emissions, the uncertainties in our climate models still leaye open the possibility of extreme warming and rises in sea level.At the same time, resistance by governments and special interest groups makes it quite possible that the actions sugge

33、sted by climate scientists might not be implemented soon enough.Fortunately，if the worst comes to the worst, scientists still have a few tricks up their sleeves. For the most part they have strongly resisted discussing these options for fear of inviting a sense of complacency that might thwart effor

34、ts to tackle the root of the problem. Until now, that is. A growing number of researchers are taking a fresh look at large-scale “geoengineering” projects that might be used to counteract global warming. “I use the analogy of methadone,” says Stephen Schneider, a climate researcher at Stanford Unive

35、rsity in California who was among the first to draw attention to global warming. “If you have a heroin addict, the correct treatment is hospitalization, and a long rehab. But if they absolutely refuse, methadone is better than heroin.”Basically the idea is to apply “sunscreen” to the whole planet. O

36、ne astronomer has come up with a radical plan to cool Earth; launch trillions of feather-light discs into space, where they would form a vast cloud that would block the suns rays. Its controversial, but recent studies suggest there are ways to deflect just enough of the sunlight reaching the Earths

37、surface to counteract the warming produced by the greenhouse effect. Global climate models show that blocking just 1.8 per cent of the incident energy in the suns rays would cancel out the warming effects produced by a doubling of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That could be crucial, because ev

38、en the most severe emissions-control measures being proposed would leave us with a doubling of carbon dioxide by the end of this century, and that would last for at least a century more.1. According to the first two paragraphs，the author thinks thatA strong measures have been taken by the government

39、 to prevent global warming.B to reduce carbon emissions is all impossible mission.C despite the difficulty，scientists have some options to prevent global warming.D actions suggested by scientists will never be realized.2. Scientists resist talking about their options because they dont want people to

40、A know what they are doing.B feel their efforts are useless.C think the problem has been solved.D see the real problem.3. What does Stephen Schneider say about a heroin addict and methadone?A Methadone is an effective way to treat a hard heroin addict.B Methadone is not a correct way to treat a hero

41、in addict.C Hospitalization together with methadone can work effectively with a heroin addict.D Methadone and heroin are equally effective in treating a heroin addict.4. What is Stephen Schneiders idea of preventing global warming?A To ask governments to take stronger measures;B To increase the sunl

42、ight reaching the Earth.C To apply sunscreen to the Earth.D To decrease greenhouse gases.5. What is NOT true of the effectiveness of “sunscreen”，according to the last paragraph?A It deflects sunlight reaching the Earth to counteract the warming.B It blocks the incident energy in the suns rays.C It i

43、s a controversial method.D It decreases greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.第二篇A Phone That Knows Youre BusyIts a modem problem: youre too busy to be disturbed by incessant (连续不断的) phone calls so you turn your cellphone off. But if you dont remember to turn it back on when youre less busy, you could

44、miss some important calls. If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you, you wouldnt have to turn it off at all. Instead, it could let calls through when you are not too busy.A bunch of behavior sensors (传感器) and a clever piece of software could do just that, by analyzing your behavior t

45、o determine if its a good time to interrupt you. If built into a phone, the system may decide youre too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later.James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system on tiny microphones, cameras and touch

46、sensors that reveal body language and activity. First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted.The potential busyness signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed, the time of day, if other pe

47、ople were with the person in question, how close they were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use.The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work. At random intervals, the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from highly

48、 interTuptible to highly not-interruptible. Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors. It is a shotgun (随意的) approach: we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important, says Hudson.The model showed that using the keyboard, and tal

49、king on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.Interestingly, the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted. The computer got it right 82 per cent of the

50、 time humans 77 per cent. Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message, whereas computers dont care.The first application for Hudson and Fogartys system is likely to be in an instant messaging system, followed by o

51、ffice phones and cellphones. There is no technological roadblock (障碍)to it being deployed in a couple of years, says Hudson.6A big problem facing people today is thatA they must tolerate phone disturbances or miss important callsB they must turn off their phones to keep their homes quiet.C they have

52、 to switch from a desktop phone to a Cellphone.D they are too busy to make phone calls.7 The behavior sensor and software system built in a phoneA could help store messages.B could send messages instantly.C could tell when it is wise to interrupt you.D could identify important phone calls.8Scientist

53、s at Camegie Mellon University tried to find outA why office doors were often left open.B when it was a good time to turn off the computer.C what questions office workers were bothered with.D which behaviors could tell whether a person was busy9During the experiment, the subjects were askedA to cont

54、rol the sensors and the camera.B to rate the degrees to which they could be interrupted.C to compare their behaviors with others.D to analyze all the indicators of interruption.10 The computer performed better than people in the study becauseA the computer worked harder.B the computer was not busy.C

55、 people tended to be biased.D people were not good at statistics.第三篇The Exploding Lakes of CameroonWhat comes to mind when you think of a lake? You probably imagine a pretty scene with blue water, birds, and fish. For the people in the northwestern Cameroon, however, the image is very different. For

56、 them, lakes may mean terrible disasters. In 1984, poisonous gases exploded out of Lake Monoun and came down into the nearby villages, killing thirty-seven people. Two years later, Lake Nyos erupted. A cloud of gases rolled down the hills and into the valleys and killed 1,700 people.Lake Nyos and La

57、ke Monoun are crater (火山口) lakes. They were formed when water collected in the craters of old volcanoes. The volcanoes under Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun are not active anymore. However, poisonous gases from the center of the earth continue to flow up through cracks in the bottom of the lake. This is normal in a crater lake In most crat
