One is the pure scientist; the other, the applied scientist. Dividing scientists into two groups pure
18、and applied is only one broad way of (27) them. The pure or theoretical scientist does (28) in order to understand the basic laws of nature that (29) our world. The applied scientist (30) practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the two groups are very much related.
19、Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the “problems“ for the theoretical scientist to (31) . Lets take a particular problem of the aircraft industry: (32) metals. Many of the metals and alloys which perform (33) in a car cannot be used in a jet-propelled plane. New alloys must be used, bec
20、ause the jet engine (34) a much higher temperatures than automobile engine. The turbine wheel in a turbojet must (35) as high as 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, so aircraft designers had to turn to the research metallurgist (冶金学家) for the development of metals and alloys that would do the job in jet-prope

At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been (36) . Now
22、, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good (37) , we may be producing too much, too fast.Those who (38) economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the (39) supp
23、ly of natural resources, the possible (40) effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the worlds population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will (41) .People who want more economic growth, on the ot
24、her hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These (42) of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide th
25、e (43) resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of (44) importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be (45) . To fi

They are the place of the scie
28、ntific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerfu
29、l force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.B In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, se
30、nding their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative (合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.C Of the forces shaping higher education none is more swee
31、ping than the movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to
32、developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for underg
33、raduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at Americas best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U. K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty membe
34、rs at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.D Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in on
35、e of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or inte
36、rnship opportunityand providing the financial resources to make it possible.E Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a
37、 research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghais Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate
38、students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xus Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job
39、training from a world-class scientist and his U. S. team.F As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure (
40、基础设施) and applications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT
41、 and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.G For all its success, the United States remains
42、 deeply hesitant about sustaining the research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but ha
43、s risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the ra
44、te of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.H American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public fun
45、ding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U. S. universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments
46、 in Australia, Singapore and the U. K. Objections from American university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.I Most Americans recognize that universities contribu
47、te to the nations well-being through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first, the
48、 very best of them stay in the States andlike immigrants throughout historystrengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international univers
