And with good reason, recent research suggests that women find balding men less at

Franklin refused it, arguing in his autobiography that because “we enjoyed great advantages from the inventi

32、ons of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours.“ Most inventors are not as generous as the “Newton of Electricity“: They want to turn their inventions into a profit. The patent system, which was developed independently in 15th-century Venice and then in 1

33、7th-century England, gave entrepreneurs a monopoly to sell their inventions for a number of years. Yet by the 1860s the patent system came under attack. Patents, critics argued, inhibited future creativity by allowing inventors to rest on their laurels. Recent economic research backs this up. The ph

34、armaceutical industry makes the best case for patents (and makes the most of patents when they are approved). Medical research and development (R others say that her “tough love“ approach gets results and should be widely copied. Plenty of others say that it advances a dangerous stereotype when Amer

35、ica is increasingly suspicious about the rise of China. Invited onto NBCs Today program this week, she said that her methods worked: Both girls are “straight A students.“ In a small concession, she has allowed them to learn tennis. High suicide rates among Indian and Chinese immigrant children have

36、been blamed on pressure to succeed, and there has been discontent about “Tiger Parenting“ from within the Chinese community. “My first reaction was, Is this a joke? I kept waiting for the punch line,“ Frances Kai-Hwa Wang, 44, said. “Her methods are so crude. The humiliations and the shaming. The ki

37、ds will hear that voice in their heads for the rest of their lives.“ 57 The authors tone in writing this passage is_. （ A） ironic （ B） objective （ C） supportive （ D） humorous 58 Paragraph 3 is mainly concerned with_the Tiger Mother. （ A） the advertisements run by （ B） various comments about （ C） the

38、 negative response to （ D） the publicity attracted by 59 The parenting approach adopted by the Tiger Mother can be described as （ A） harsh, robust but effective （ B） innovative, popular but ineffective （ C） cruel, unbearable but prevalent （ D） humiliating, abusive but American 60 The underlined expr

39、ession in Paragraph 5 probably means_. （ A） has produced no response （ B） has been totally discarded （ C） has touched on a sensitive topic （ D） has caused serious diseases 61 It can be concluded from this passage that people are generally_the Tiger Mother. （ A） proud of （ B） indifferent to （ C） cont

40、roversial about （ D） sympathetic to 62 As mentioned in the last paragraph, Frances Kai-Hwa Wang thinks of Tiger Parenting as_. （ A） illegal （ B） frightening （ C） irresponsible （ D） impressive 62 Can humans prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades? This is

41、the question asked by James Lovelock, the globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory, after public opinion on efforts to tackle climate change has been weakened by events such as the climate scientists e-mails leaked from the University of East A

42、nglia (UEA) and the failure of the Copenhagen Climate Summit. One obstacle to meaningful action is “modern democracy,“ he said. “Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as

43、 severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while.“ Lovelock doesnt believe in human wisdom to stop climate change, insisting that the worlds best hope is to invest in adaptation measures, such as building sea defences around cities most vulnerable to sea-level rises. He thi

44、nks only a disastrous event would now persuade humanity to take the threat of climate change seriously enough, such as the collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica that would immediately push up sea level. “That would be the sort of event that would change public opinion,“ he said. “Another Intergo

45、vernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report wont be enough. Well just argue over it like now.“ The IPCCs 2007 report concluded that there was a 90% chance that greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming, but the panel has been criticized over a mistaken claim that all Himalayan glacier

46、s could melt by 2030. Lovelock says the events of the recent months have seen him warming to the efforts of the “good“ climate skeptics: “What I like about skeptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think. If you dont have that continuously, you really are in trouble. The good s

47、keptics have done a good service, but some of the mad ones have not done anyone any favors.“ Lovelock, who 40 years ago originated the idea that the planet is a giant, self-regulating organism the so-called Gaia theory added that he has little sympathy for the climate scientists involved in the UEA

48、e-mail scandal. He said he had not read the original emails, but that their reported content had left him feeling “utterly disgusted.“ “Cheating the data in any way is quite literally a crime against the holy ghost of science,“ he said. 63 It seems to Lovelock that modern democracy_. （ A） is the mai

49、n cause of world wars （ B） can help slow down climate change （ C） hinders efforts to stop climate change （ D） has to be abolished worldwide 64 Lovelock argues that public opinion_. （ A） can easily be changed （ B） is mostly groundless （ C） probably reflects truth （ D） usually dies hard 65 Paragraph 3 implies that we humans_. （ A） are prone to nat
