23、丁市自称“欧洲石油之都”。现如今北海油气产量相比峰值下降了 44%，不由令人担心此番下滑绝非周期性衰退那么简单。 阿伯丁的石油工业发展曾经如日中天，人们也每每将苏格兰比作是“西方科威特”。不过，有人曾经指出该地区石油工业的蓬勃发展态势不会持续太久，阿伯丁的石油工业能撑到今天已经超出了多数人的预料。 随着北海油气产量的持续下滑，阿伯丁也不得不寻找替代产业，旅游业、生命科技、与石油工业相关的服务外包等都在考虑之列。但是，许多人认为最理想的产业转型是，充分利用当地近海石油开采的丰富经验和优势，逐步建立起规模堪比石油工业的可再生能源产业。 阿伯丁市政府希望充分利用上述经验和优势，逐步树立在近海风能和潮

24、汐能发电、碳捕获与碳封存领域的世界领先地位。 苏格兰首席部长亚历克斯萨蒙德上月在阿伯丁举行的一次会议上演讲时称，风能市场规模可达 1300 亿英镑，而苏格兰潮汐能发电潜力巨大，堪称“潮汐能领域的沙特阿拉伯”。 他说：“过去四十年来，我们的近海油气市场规模着实令人惊叹，现如今，一个规模相当的近海能源市场正逐步形成。” 过去，旅游业受到当地石油工业的影响，毫无起色，现在逐渐受到当局的重视。美国房地产大亨唐纳德特朗普计划在阿伯丁市以北 12 公里处开发一个带有高尔夫球场的高档住宅项目，不过该项目会占用当地的一片自然保护区。尽管如此，一心想把阿伯丁打造成为世界级旅游胜地的当地工商界仍然鼎力支持该开发项

25、目。 阿伯丁市政府同时希望对蓬勃发展的油田服务业进行重新定位，把外包目标转向巴西等新兴近海石油开采中心。当地商会会长罗伯特科利尔说：“北海油气产量下滑并不等于说阿伯丁全球石油中心的地位也在下降。我们的经验和优势仍在，可以大力发展近海油田服务外包。”2.We mark the passing of 800 years, and that is indeed a remarkable span for any institution.

33、 conclusions, and in turn to be accountable for our findings. The real quest is not for knowledge, but for understanding. （分数：30.00）_正确答案：()解析：今天，我们迎来了剑桥 800 周年纪念日，对于任何一个机构而言，800 年都不是须臾瞬间，不由令人惊叹。不过，历史从来就不是一条静静流淌的小溪/历史纵是一条溪涧，也总有涟漪波澜。纵观剑桥，过去半个世纪以来的迅猛发展无疑是近代剑桥最生动的写照。我 1961 年进入剑桥学习，与那时相比，剑桥今天的学生数量翻了一番还多

34、。随着学生数量的快速增加，教师特别是专门从事研究的学者数量也都随之增加，各个学院不断扩张，现在每个学院的学生和教师数量都已超过 50 年前；自 1954 年起，至少有11 所新学院在剑桥诞生，有的是新建的，有的则是从原有学院分离出来合并形成的。今天的剑桥已经拥有 31 所学院。 剑桥过去是一所教学型大学，如今已是一所赫赫有名的研究型大学，学校年收入的至少 3/4 用于研究。作为研究型大学，剑桥新建了实验室和教学大楼，为各系全体师生提供了充足的教研场所。而就在上世纪中叶，一个图书馆和几个行政办公室就是剑桥的全部，绝大部分老师都没有立身之所。 剑桥之所以能吸引最优秀的学生和师资，在于其催人奋进的良

35、好氛围以及愉快惬意的工作、生活环境。能进入剑桥的学生个个聪颖，思维敏捷，在这里，除了老师传道授业解惑外，学生们也相互比学赶帮；剑桥的老师也都为人师表，毫无架子，勇于接受学术批评，乐于与学生展开辩论。 江山代有人才出，甚至连伊拉斯姆斯、牛顿、达尔文抑或凯恩斯等这些鼎鼎大名也难抵岁月的涤荡。当今时代，信息获取易如反掌，我们可以接触到海量的知识但却永远无法真正掌控知识，我们绝不能为此自惭形秽。我们通过图书馆和博物馆的馆藏了解到前辈们的轶事伟绩，是他们使知识得以传承，是他们倡导学术争鸣。从他们身上我们认识到，身为学者，必须以实为据进行辩论，进而得出自己的结论，同时，也必须对自己的结论负责，解疑释惑。人们真正探求的并非知识本身，而是对知识的理解。二、Section Chinese-En(总题数：0，分数：0.00)
