The official case for “academic mobility“ is now often stated in impressive terms as fundamental necessity fo

15、r economic and social progress in the world, and debated in corridors of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.2 Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of

16、 ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same disco

17、very or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect.3 In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle Which has made this possi

18、ble has of course been the aeroplane, providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.4 Apart from the vehicle itself, some main factors are purely quantitative and require no further mention, there are far more centers of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students.5 In addit

19、ion one must recognise the very considerable multiplication of 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

20、 they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries. Associated with this is the growth of specialist periodicals, which enable scholars to become aware of what is happening in different centers of research and to meet each other in conferences and symposia. From the

21、se meetings come the personal relationships which are at the bottom of almost all formalized schemes of co- operation, and provide them with most satisfactory stimulus.6 But as the specializations have increased in number and narrowed in range, there has been an opposite movement towards interdiscip

22、linary studies. These owe much to the belief that one cannot 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 discip

23、lines, and far greater emphasis 0n the pooling of specialist knowledge, reflected in the broad subjects chosen in many international conferences.（分数：4.00）(1).Literally, “academic mobility“ means _.A. academic traveling B. sharing ideas and experiencesC. academic research D. transmission of knowledge

24、（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It is suggested in Para. 2 that _.A. academic mobility may enhance scientific researchB. academic mobility may promote interpersonal relationsC. scientific researchers may be subject to misunderstandingD. scientific researchers work in collaboration worldwide（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3)

25、.The number of specialists has enormously increased mainly because of _.A. academic mobility B. interdisciplinary researchC. specialization D. modernization of transportation（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, interdisciplinary studies are characterized by all the following EXCEPT that _.

26、A. they involve the joint efforts of scholars from different disciplinesB. they depend on the knowledge of different disciplinesC. they promote academic contact among people from different disciplinesD. they represent a newly emerging movement as against specializations（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：

27、1，分数：6.00)Jan Hendrik Schons success seemed too good to be true, and it was. In only four years as a physicist at Bell Laboratories, Schon, 32, had co-authored 90 scientific papers one every 16 days, which astonished his colleagues, and made them suspicious. When one co-worker noticed that the same

28、table of data appeared in two separate papers which also happened to appear in the two most prestigious scientific journals in the world, Science and Nature the jig was up. In October 2002, a Bell Labs investigation found that Schon had falsified and fabricated data. His career as a scientist was fi

29、nished.If it sounds a lot like the fall of Hwang Woo Suk the South Korean researcher who fabricated his evidence about cloning human cells it is. Scientific scandals, which are as old as science itself, tend to follow similar patterns of hubris and comeuppance. Afterwards, colleagues wring their han

30、ds and wonder how such malfeasance can be avoided in the future. But it never is entirely. Science is built on the honor system; the method of peer-review, in which manuscripts are evaluated by experts in the field, is not meant to catch cheats. In recent years, of course, the pressure on scientists

31、 to publish in the top journals has increased, making the journals much more crucial to career success. The questions raised anew by Hwangs fall are whether Nature and Science have become too powerful as arbiters of what science reaches the public, and whether the journals are up to their task as ga

32、tekeepers.Each scientific specialty has its own set of journals. Physicists have Physical Review Letters; cell biologists have Cell; neuroscientists have Neuron, and so forth. Science and Nature, though, are the only two major journals that cover the gamut of scientific disciplines, from meteorology

33、 and zoology to quantum physics and chemistry. As a result, journalists look to them each week for the cream of the crop of new science papers. And scientists look to the journals in part to reach journalists. Why do they care? Competition for grants has gotten so fierce that scientists have sought

34、popular renown to gain an edge over their rivals. Publication in specialized journals will win the accolades of academics and satisfy the publish- or-perish imperative, but Science and Nature come with the added bonus of potentially getting your paper written up in The New York Times and other publi

35、cations.Scientists are also trying to reach other scientists through Science and Nature, not just the public. Scientists tend to pay more attention to the Big Two than to other journals. When more scientists know about a particular paper, theyre more apt to cite it in their own papers. Being off-cit

36、ed will increase a scientists “Impact Factor“, a measure of how often papers are cited by peers. Funding agencies use the Impact Factor as a rough measure of the influence of scientists theyre considering supporting.Whether the clamor to appear in these journals has any beating on their ability to c

37、atch fraud is another matter. The fact is that fraud is terrifically hard to spot. Consider the process Science used to evaluate Hwangs 2005 article. Science editors recognized the manuscripts import almost as soon as it arrived. As part of the standard procedure, they sent it to two members of its

38、Board of Reviewing Editors, who recommended that it go out for peer review (about 30 percent of manuscripts pass this test). This recommendation was made not on the scientific validity of the paper, but on its “novelty, originality, and trendiness“, says Denis Duboule, a geneticist at the University

39、 of Geneva and a member of Sciences Board of Reviewing Editors, in the January 6 issue of Science.After this, Science sent the paper to three stem-cell experts, who had a week to look it over. Their comments were favorable. How were they to know that the data was fraudulent? “You look at the data an

40、d do not assume its fraud,“ says one reviewer, anonymously, in Science.In the end, a big scandal now and then isnt likely to do much damage to the big scientific journals. What editors and scientists worry about more are the myriad smaller infractions that occur all the time, and which are almost im

41、possible to detect. A Nature survey of scientists published last June found that one-third of all respondents had committed some forms of misconduct. These included falsifying research data and having “questionable relationships“ with students and subjects both charges leveled against Hwang. Nobody

42、really knows if this kind of fraud is on the rise, but it is worrying.Science editors dont have any plans to change the basic editorial peer-review process as a result of the Hwang scandal. They do have plans to scrutinize photographs more closely in an effort to spot instances of fraud, but that po

43、licy change had already been decided when the scandal struck. And even if it had been in place, it would not have revealed that Hwang had misrepresented photographs from two stem cell colonies as coming from 11 colonies. With the financial and deadline pressures of the publishing industry, its unlik

44、ely that the journals are going to take markedly stronger measures to vet manuscripts. Beyond replicating the experiments themselves, which would be impractical, its difficult to see what they could do to make Science beyond the honor system.（分数：6.00）(1).Which of the following can be inferred from t

45、he passage?A. Key scientific journals are authoritative in evaluating scientific papers.B. Peer-review is the most effective method in evaluating and selecting scientific papers.C. Scientists are less likely to achieve career success without publications in top papers.D. Fabricating evidence in scie

46、ntific researches can be discovered by evaluation strict enough.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Science and Nature are top journals in the world in that_.A. they are built on the honor systemB. they are the only world-recognized journals in the scientific circleC. they cover all the research areas of scienceD.
