21、ents have always been great travellers. The official case for “academic mobility“ is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world, and debated in the corridors of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always re
22、ady to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact up
23、on many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one presumes that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited with a startling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people in other parts of
24、 the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect.In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highw
25、ays. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main facto
26、rs which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centres of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students.In addition one must recognise the very considerable multiplication o
27、f disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated gr
28、oups in other countries.Frequently these specialisations lie in areas where very rapid developments are taking place, and also where the research needed for developments is extremely costly and takes a long time. It is precisely in these areas that the advantages of collaboration and sharing of expe
29、rtise appear most evident. Associated with this is the growth of specialist periodicals, which enable scholars to become aware of what is happening in different centres of research and to meet each other in conferences and symposia. From these meetings come the personal relationships which are at th
30、e bottom of almost all formalized schemes of cooperation, and provide them with their most satisfactory stimulus.But as the specialisations have increased in number and narrowed in range, there had been an opposite movement towards interdisciplinary studies. These owe much to the belief that one can
31、not properly investigate the incredibly complex problems thrown up by the modern world, and by recent advances in our knowledge along the narrow front of a single discipline. This trend has led to a great deal of academic contact between disciplines, and a far greater emphasis on the pooling, of spe
32、cialist knowledge, reflected in the broad subjects chosen in many international conferences.（分数：4.00）(1).According to the passage, scholars and students are great travellers because _. A. standards are higher at foreign universities B. their governments encourage them to travel C. salaries and condi
33、tions are better abroad D. they are eager for new knowledge（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(2).The writer says that travel was important in the past because it _. A. was a way of spreading ideas B. broke down political barriers C. led to economic progress D. made new ideas less schooling（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(3).The wr
34、iter claims that it is important for specialists to be able to travel because _. A. there are so many people working in similar fields B. there is a lot of social unrest at universities C. their follow experts are scattered round the world D. their laboratories are in remote places（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(
35、4).The writer thinks that the growth of specialist societies and periodicals has helped scholars to _. A. spend less time travelling B. cut down research costs C. develop their ideas more quickly D. keep up with current developments（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(5).Developments in international cooperation are o
36、ften, it is suggested, the result of _. A. friendships formed by scholars at meetings B. articles in learned journals C. the work of international agencies D. programs initiated by governments（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)The United States economy made progress in reducing unemployme
37、nt and moderating inflation. On the international side, this year was much calmer than last. Nevertheless, continuing imbalances in the pattern of world trade contributed to intermittent strains in the foreign exchange markets. These strains intensified to crisis proportions, precipitating a further
38、 devaluation of the dollar.The domestic economy expanded in a remarkably vigorous and steady fashion. The resurgence in consumer confidence was reflected in the higher proportion of incomes spent for goods and services and the marked increase in consumer willingness to take on installment debt. A pa
39、rallel strengthening in business psychology was manifested in stepped-up rate of plant and equipment spending and a gradual pickup in outlays for inventory. Confidence in the economy was also reflected in the strength of the stock market and in the stability of the bond market. For the year as a who
40、le, consumer and business sentiment benefited from rising public expectations that a resolution of the conflict in Vietnam was in prospect and that East-West tensions were easing.The underpinnings of the business expansion were to be found in part in the stimulative monetary and fiscal policies that
41、 had been pursued. Moreover, the restoration of sounder liquidity positions and tighter management control of production efficiency had also helped lay the groundwork for a strong expansion. In addition, the economic policy moves made by the President had served to renew optimism on the business out
42、look while boosting hopes that inflation would be brought under more effective control.Finally, of course, the economy was able to grow as vigorously as it did because sufficient flexibility existed in terms of idle men and machines.The United States balance of payments deficit declined sharply. Nev
43、ertheless, by any other test, the deficit remained very large, and there was actually a substantial deterioration in our trade account to a sizable deficit, almost two thirds of which was with Japan. While the overall trade performance proved disappointing, there are still good reasons for expecting
44、 the delayed impact of devaluation to produce in time a significant strengthening in our trade picture. Given the size of the Japanese component of our trade measures undertaken by Japan. Also important will be our own efforts in the United States to fashion internal policies consistent with an impr
45、ovement in our external balance.（分数：4.00）(1).The passage was most likely published in a A. popular magazine. B. general newspaper. C. science journal.
