1.According to the passage, downshifting emerged in the U.S. as a result of _______ .A the quick pace of modern lifeB man's adventurous spiritC man's search for mythical experiencesD the economic situation

2.Text 2 To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke,“all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.”One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal. For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied,“Then I would have to say yes.”Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said,“Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.”Such well-meaning people just don's understand. Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way-in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's hip replacement, a father's bypass operation a baby's vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.Much can be done. Scientists could“adopt”middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.第46题：The author begins his article with Edmund Burke\'s words toA. call on scientists to take some actions.B. criticize the misguided cause of animal rights.C. warn of the doom of biomedical research.D. show the triumph of the animal rights movement.

  • 第14题：

    PV Co is evaluating an investment proposal to manufacture Product W33, which has performed well in test marketing trials conducted recently by the company’s research and development division. The following information relating to this investment proposal has now been prepared.

    Initial investment $2 million

    Selling price (current price terms) $20 per unit

    Expected selling price inflation 3% per year

    Variable operating costs (current price terms) $8 per unit

    Fixed operating costs (current price terms) $170,000 per year

    Expected operating cost inflation 4% per year

    The research and development division has prepared the following demand forecast as a result of its test marketing trials. The forecast reflects expected technological change and its effect on the anticipated life-cycle of Product W33.

    It is expected that all units of Product W33 produced will be sold, in line with the company’s policy of keeping no inventory of finished goods. No terminal value or machinery scrap value is expected at the end of four years, when production of Product W33 is planned to end. For investment appraisal purposes, PV Co uses a nominal (money) discount rate of 10% per year and a target return on capital employed of 30% per year. Ignore taxation.

    Required:

    (a) Identify and explain the key stages in the capital investment decision-making process, and the role of

    investment appraisal in this process. (7 marks)

    (b) Calculate the following values for the investment proposal:

    (i) net present value;

    Why is a woman better at learning foreign languages than a man?
    A

    The area of the left side of a woman’s brain for language learning develops better than that of a man’s.

    B

    The right side of a woman’s brain for language develops better than that of a man’s.

    C

    The area of the left side of a woman’s brain for feelings develops better than that of a man’s.

    D

    The area of the right side of a woman’s brain fit for seeing in the dark develops better than that of a man’s.


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    由题干中关键词learning foreign languages对原文进行定位。根据文章可知人类左半脑发展数学、言语、阅读等，“In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. (男女左右半脑不同区域发展情况不同。)，而后对此进行举例“In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics；and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better”（男孩数学区域发展较好，女孩语言区域发展较好)。这里需要注意例子中比较级的使用。由此可知，女孩子左半脑掌管语言的区域要比男孩子的发展的好。所以A项是正确答案。
    【录音原文】
    　　Do you believe that men and women think differently? Many people say no. They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn. They think social life affects their ways of thinking.
    　　In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women and they all got the same conclusion：men and women are different because their brains are different and this makes men and women see the world in different ways. Boys, for example, are generally better than girls at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier and can see better in the dark and are better at learning foreign language than boys.
    　　What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides. The nerves on the left side are for mathematics, speech, reading, etc, while those on the right side are for artistic creation and other senses. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics；and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman, so the flow of information between them is more limited Scientists think this affects some of our abilities.
