The Institute of Physics se

8、t out to find out whether 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

9、 white male of around 60, 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.Th

10、e stereotype of the absent-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. V

11、ery good school children are 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 w

12、ant to encourage more young 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 bein

13、g organized. Thousands of people 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

14、 in a different country every 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.

21、le yellow and faded now. Though Ive received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one Ive saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me.I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden sing

22、le parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes, even barbeques (烧烤) . Those had always been my husbands jobs.

23、 the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills.On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something. (I prayed it wasnt another repair job.) The “something“ turned out to be an envelope and several wrap

24、ped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughters bright faces.“Go ahead! Open them!“ They urged. As I unwrapped the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill (烧烤架) and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove wit

25、h a frog pattern on it.“But why?“ I asked.“Happy Fathers Day!“ they shouted together.“Morns dont get presents on Fathers Day.“ I protested.“You forgot to open the card.“ Jane reminded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Fathers Day. “

26、Because,“ the girls said, “youve been a father and mother to us. Why shouldnt you be remembered on Fathers Day?“As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to be a “professional“ dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they

27、could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the maintenance tasks of basic care and love.The girls are grown now, and they still send me Fathers Day cards, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didnt requir

32、iation for their mothers lov六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Easy DeathIn ancient Greek, the term euthanatos meant “easy death“. Today euthanasia (安乐死) generally refers to mercy killing, the voluntary (自愿) ending of the life of someone who is terminally ill. Like abortion, euthanasia has become a legal, medical

33、, and moral issue over which opinion is divided.Euthanasia can be either active or passive. Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel takes an action that will result in death, such as giving an overdose of deadly medicine. Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for

34、 lack of treatment, or stopping the treatment that has begun. Examples of passive euthanasia include taking patients off a breathing machine or removing other life-support systems. Stopping the food supply is also considered passive.A good deal of the debate about mercy killing originates from the d

35、ecision-making process. Who decides whether a patient is to die? This issue has not been solved legally in the United States. The matter is left to state law, which usually allows the physician in charge to suggest the option of death to a patients relatives, especially if the patient is brain dead.

36、 In an attempt to make decisions about when their own lives should end, several terminally ill patients in the early 1990s used a controversial suicide device, developed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to end their lives.In parts of Europe, the decision-making process has become very flexible. Even in cases

37、where the patients are not brain dead, patients have been put to death without their approval at the request of relatives or at the suggestion of physicians. Many cases of passive euthanasia involve old people or newborn infants. The principle justifying this practice is that such individuals have a

38、 “life not worthy of life“.In countries where passive euthanasia is not legal, the court systems have proved very tolerant in dealing with medical personnel who practice it. In Japan, for example, if physicians follow certain guidelines they may actively carry out mercy killings on hopelessly ill pe

39、ople.

40、difference between active and passive euthanasia is whether_.（分数：3.00）A.there is an action that speeds up the death of the patientB.the breathing machine is taken off the patientC.an overdose of deadly medicine is usedD.the patient is denied food supply(3).According to the passage, who has/have the

41、legal responsibility to decide on euthanasia?（分数：3.00）A.The national or state government.B.The patients relatives.C.Physicians in charge of the patient.D.The answer varies from country to country.(4).The principle justifying passive euthanasia in Europe is that terminally ill patients are_.（分数：3.00）

43、 AmericaSome of the most popular attractions across America are the many free concerts offered to public throughout the year. These involve not only amateur performers, hut professional artists as well. The public parks of many cities across the country usually have bandstands and large lawns. As a

44、service to citizens, they rent out space to performers free of charge. Amateur groups, with nothing more than a desire to perform offer their talents freely to public. Semi-professional artists are pleased to get the chance to perform before the public to perfect their craft and nurture the hope of

45、being discovered before beginning a professional career. Famous professionals also give free concerts to make contact with their admiring fans. Often such concerts are sponsored by a large corporate organization and offered to the public free of charge as a cultural service and support for the arts.

46、The free concerts feature all kinds of music from rock and roll, jazz, country-western to the classics. In addition, free performances may include the plays of Shakespeare or experimental theater of modem dramatists. In New Yorks Central Park there has long been a summer Shakespeare festival which d

47、raws huge crowds to the free performances.Of these concerts the ones held on a summer evening in the park are the most popular. They take on a festive air. Friends and groups gather together after work and spread out a blanket on the lawn facing the performers stage. The early comers get the best lo

48、cations and enjoy a picnic supper while it is still daylight. The free seating is on a first come basis. Therefore, by the time the concert begins, as many as five thousand or more people may be in attendance. The concerts usually begin at 8 p.m. and are performed under the stars. The sound is made

49、sufficiently loud so that no matter where one chooses to sit, he can hear very well. The only disturbance may be the sound of an overhead airplane on its final approach to an airport or the far-off siren (警笛声) of an ambulance on its way to the hospital. This matters little! What counts is to soak up the atmosphere created by t
