1.It is pretty much a one-way street.While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商業(yè)的) world,there is very little traffic in the opposite direction.Pay has always been the biggest  deterrent,as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job.For some industrial scientists,however,the attractions of academia (學(xué)術(shù)界) outweigh any financial (金錢(qián)的) considerations.
Helen Lee took a 70%cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge.Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions.Some areas of inquiry have few prospects (前景) of a commercial return,and Lee's is one of them.
The influence of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career.Guy Grant,now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge,spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher.He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual chances.
Higher up the ladder,where a pay cut is usually more important,the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the change to academia more attractive,according to Lee.Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not,such as how to build a multidisciplinary team,manage budgets and negotiate contracts.They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate,says Lee,perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development."Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career.So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential (潛力) in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project."

57.By"a one-way street"in Paragraph 1,the author meansC.
A.university researchers know little about the commercial world
B.few university professors are willing to do industrial research
C.few industrial scientists would leave to work in a university
D.there is little exchange between industry and academia
58.The underlined word"deterrent"most probably refers to"something thatD".
A.helps to move the traffic          B.a(chǎn)ttracts people's attention
C.brings someone a financial burden  D.keeps someone from taking action
59.What was Helen Lee's major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?B
A.Less work hours.
B.More freedom to choose research fields.
C.Better prospects of a commercial return.
D.Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.
60.What can industrial scientists do when they come to teach in a university?D
A.Make its research more practical.
B.Develop its students'potential in research.
C.Help it to obtain financial support from industry.
D.Increase its graduates'competitiveness in the job market.

分析 本文敘述了對(duì)很多研究人員來(lái)說(shuō),雖然放棄大學(xué)的工作到商界很有吸引力,但是很少有人這樣做.說(shuō)明很多人不愿意放棄大學(xué)里的研究.

解答 57.C 推理判斷題.從文章第一段的"While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商業(yè)的) world,there is very little traffic in the opposite direction."可知:雖然大學(xué)研究人員到商業(yè)領(lǐng)域碰運(yùn)氣很普遍,但相反的工業(yè)科學(xué)家很少到大學(xué)工作的.選C.
58.D 詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)該詞后面的原因狀語(yǔ)從句"as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job.因?yàn)閿y家?guī)Э诘娜藗兘?jīng)常會(huì)覺(jué)得無(wú)法承受回大學(xué)工作所帶來(lái)的薪酬上的減少."可知"Pay has always been the biggest deterrent"這句話說(shuō)明了"薪酬總是最大的制約因素",故D項(xiàng)正確.
59.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的"Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions."可知B項(xiàng)正確,她想要更多的自由選擇研究領(lǐng)域.
60.D 推理題.根據(jù)文章最后一段"Higher up the ladder,where a pay cut is usually more significant,the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (轉(zhuǎn)換) to academia more attractive,according to Lee.They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate"說(shuō)明他們回大學(xué)教書(shū)可以讓學(xué)生學(xué)到很多實(shí)際的經(jīng)驗(yàn),在求職的路上有更多的優(yōu)勢(shì),故D正確.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 政治類文章多采用記敘文形式,我們可采取"順讀法",以便抓關(guān)鍵語(yǔ)句,領(lǐng)會(huì)文章主旨;而經(jīng)濟(jì)類文章則多采用說(shuō)明文形式,我們則可以采取"逆讀法",先讀試題,再?gòu)奈恼轮胁檎矣杏眯畔ⅲ?/p>

6.How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(51)C.Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(52)F
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(誘惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(53)Gcomplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(54)A Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
(55)D enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.
