Part II Reading Comprehension （40 %）

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pen.

Passage One

Scholars and students have always been great travelers. The official case for “academic mobility” is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world; and debated in the corridors of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.

Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontier, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one presumes that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited with a startling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect.

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 possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.

Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centres of learning, a far greater number of scholars and students.

In addition one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced study has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.

Frequently these specializations lie in areas where very rapid developments are taking place, and also where the research needed for developments is extremely costly and takes a long time. It is precisely in these areas that the advantages of collaboration and sharing of expertise appear most evident. Associated with this is the growth of specialist periodicals, which enable scholars to become aware of what is happening in different centres of research and to meet each other in conferences and symposia. From these meetings come the personal relationships which are at the bottom of almost all formalized schemes of cooperation, and provide them with their most satisfactory stimulus.

But as the specializations have increased in number and narrowed in range, there has been an opposite movement towards interdisciplinary 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

硕士博士之家 QQ：245044301

led to a great deal of academic contact between disciplines, and a far greater emphasis on the pooling of specialist knowledge, reflected in the broad subjects chosen in many international conferences.

21. What, in the writer’s opinion, happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his colleagues?

A. He gains recognition for his achievements.

B. He attracts large numbers of students.

C. He risks his ideas being stolen.

D. He is considered slightly mad.

22. The writer claims that it is important for specialists to be able to travel because .

A. their fellow experts are scattered around the world

B. their laboratories are in remote places

C. there are so many people working in similar fields

D. textbooks have wide circulation

23. The writer thinks that the growth of specialist societies and periodicals has helped scholars

to ______.

A. cut down research costs C. spend less time traveling

B. keep up with current developments D. develop their ideas more quickly

24. Developments in international co-operation are often, it is suggested, the result of______.

A. articles in learned journals

B. programs initiated by governments

C. friendships formed by scholars at meetings

D. the work of international agencies

25. In the writer’s opinion, interdisciplinary studies are important because they _______.

A. encourage scholars to concentrate on their own specializations

B. allow scholars to change disciplines more easily

C. make scholars aware of problems outside their own field

D. allow overworked scholars to relax

21.A 文章第二段第二句 The point of learning…or a new technique 指出：学习的关键在于与人分享，无论是与学生还是与同事；只有古怪的人才有兴趣把新发现或新技术归功于自己。所以由此推测，学者与人交流时，能得到别人的承认，故选项 A 正确。

22.A 文章第二段提到 other people in other parts of the world…thinking along the same lines 通过游历他们能够获得 the most stimulating teachers…the likeliest road to gold，可以判断选项 A 他们的同伴遍及全世界，正确。

23.B 第六段中 Associated with this is…and symposia 指出：the growth of specialist societies and periodicals 能使专家们了解不同研究中心的最新动态，能使他们在座谈会上见面交流，故选项 B 正确。

24.C 作者在第六段最后一句提到，学术会议上建立的 personal relationships 是 formalized

schemes of cooperation 的基础，故选项 C 正确。

25.C 文章最后一段说到 one cannot properly investigate the incredibly complex problems
