27、are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there
28、 is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial co
29、nsiderations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas
30、of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lees is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent
31、 two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists
32、with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They
33、 are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So
34、someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.“(分数:20.00)(1).By “a one-way street“ (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means _. A.university researche
35、rs know little about the commercial world B.there is little exchange between industry and academia C.few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university D.few university professors are willing to do industrial research(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(2).The word “deterrent“ (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably
36、 refers to something that _. A.keeps someone from taking action B.helps to move the traffic C.attracts peoples attention D.brings someone a financial burden(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(3).What was Helen Lees major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career? A.Flexible work hours. B.Her
37、research interests. C.Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D.Prospects of academic accomplishments.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(4).Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to _. A.do financially more rewarding work B.raise his status in the academic world C.enrich his experience in
38、medical research D.exploit better intellectual opportunities(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(5).What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university? A.Increase its graduates competitiveness in the job market. B.Develop its students potential in research. C.Help it to obtain fin
39、ancial support from industry. D.Gear its research towards practical applications.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(6).Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come f
40、rom marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a
41、womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years lo
42、nger than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death,
43、 and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how do
44、es it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression
45、 later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christaki
46、s says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.“ William Farrs study and other studies show that _. A.social life provides an effective cure for illness B.being sociable helps improve ones quality of life C.women benefit more than men from marriage D.marriage contributes a gre
47、at deal to longevity(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(7).Linda Waites studies support the idea that _. A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthy B.marriage can help make up for ill health C.the married are happier than the unmarried D.unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(8).It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side“ (Line 4, Para. 2) refers to _. A.the disadvantages of being married B.the emotional problems arising from marriage C.the responsibility of taking care of ones family D.the consequence of a broken marriage(分数:2.0
