M: I'd like to go to the States, but if I took the job there, I wouldn't get a very good salary. W: Really? I thought salaries were high there, but there would be some fringe benefits presumably. M: Oh, yes. It'd be stimulating and it has some advantages. W: What else do you have in mind? M: Well, there's a position in Portugal. W: How does it compare? M: It'd offer greater security, because it'd be on a homebase contract. W: And salary? M: Much better, I'll get an overseas allowance plus free accommodation from the firm. W: Presumably you'd be given moving expenses for the Portugal job? M: Yes, but just to complicate matters, there's a possibility of a post in Sao Paulo. W: That's Brazil, isn't it? M: Yes. I'd get a promotion if I took a post there. W: I'd love to go to Brazil. M: But there are some disadvantages. I'd have to do a five-year term there. W: Personal problem surely? M: Well, not at the moment. But if there were a change in family circumstances, I'd be a long way from home. W: But if you're worried about distance, isn't that the same problem with the States? M: Yes, but in the States I'd be on an annual contract, so I could leave fairly quickly if I needed to. W: In Portugal? M: Well, that's almost next door, isn't it? I could visit home every few months if necessary. W: I can see you've got a difficult choice to make. M: Well, fortunately I don't have to make up my mind about any of them yet. In fact, I haven't even been called for an interview.

We should've known that long distance trains are often many hours late. We should've taken an earlier one to allow extra time. We should have, but we didn't and we missed the boat. Because there wouldn't be a refund of our cruise fare if we returned home, we had to pay for a hotel room and meals in the city and an air fare to fly to the first island on the shipped route two days later. We missed half the cruise. This year, we decided to let an experienced travel agent do our vacation planning for us. We had to pay the full price in advance for an escorted tour. We should be joining that relaxing well-planned trip right now. How could we have known there would be a strike against our airline?

British scientists are preparing to launch trials of a radical new way to fight cancer, which kills tumours by infecting them with viruses like the common cold. If successful, virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer, while avoiding some of the side-effects. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, will lead the trials later this year. One of the country's leading geneticists, Prof. Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly, while avoiding harm to healthy tissue. "In principle, you've got something which could be many times more effective than regular chemotherapy," he said. Preliminary research on mice shows that the viruses work well on tumours resistant to standard cancer drugs. "It's an interesting possibility that they may have an advantage in killing drug-resistant tumours, which could be quite different to anything we've had before." Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells and some aspects of the work have already been published in scientific journals. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body. Prof. Seymour's innovative solution is to mask the virus from the body's immune system, effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do—spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. The big hurdle has always been to find a way to deliver viruses to tumours via the bloodstream without the body's immune system destroying them on the way. The therapy would be especially useful for secondary cancers, which sometimes spread around the body after the first tumour appears. "There's an awful statistic of patients in the west...with malignant cancers; 75% of them go on to die from secondary cancers." said Prof. Seymour. Several more years of trials will be needed, before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS. Though the approach will be examined at first for cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments, Prof. Seymour hopes that one day it will be applied to all cancers. standard cancer drugs.

20. What's the possible advantage of virus therapy according to Prof. Seymour?
  1. A.It won't have any side-effect.
  2. B.It can kill drug-resistant tumours.
  3. C.It can be as effective as conventional treatments.
  4. D.It can stop cancer cells from spreading in the body.

  2. B.How to inject viruses directly into tumours.
  3. C.How to allow viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do.
  4. D.How to strengthen the body's immune system.

As a result, businesses are much more [31] , often in very specific ways, which creates powerful [32] to improve service. Although some readers might not care for gossipy reports of unfriendly bellboys in Berlin or malfunctioning hotel hairdryers in Houston, the true power of online reviews lies not just in the individual stories, but in the websites' [33] to aggregate a large volume of ratings. The impact cannot be [34] . Businesses that attract top ratings can enjoy rapid growth, as new customers are attracted by good reviews and [35] provide yet more positive feedback.

判断每个陈述源于哪一段。

AA thin magnetic stripe (magstripe) is all that stands between your credit-card information and the bad guys. And they've been working hard to break in. That's why 2014 is shaping up as a major showdown: banks, law enforcement and technology companies are all trying to stop a network of hackers who are succeeding in stealing account numbers, names, email addresses and other crucial data used in identity theft. More than 100 million accounts at Target, Neiman Marcus and Michaels stores were affected in some way during the most recent attacks, starting last November.
BSwipe is the operative word: cards are increasingly vulnerable to attacks when you make purchases in a store. In several recent incidents, hackers have been able to obtain massive information of credit-debit- or prepaid-card numbers using malware, i.e. malicious software, inserted secretly into the retailers' point- of-sale system—the checkout registers. Hackers then sold the data to a second group of criminals operating in shadowy corners of the web. Not long after, the stolen data was showing up on fake cards and being used for online purchases.
CThe solution could cost as little as $2 extra for every piece of plastic issued. The fix is a security technology used heavily outside the U.S. While American credit cards use the 40-year-old magstripe technology to process transactions, much of the rest of the world uses smarter cards with a technology called EMV (short for Europay, MasterCard, Visa) that employs a chip embedded in the card plus a customer PIN (personal identification number) to authenticate every transaction on the spot. If a purchaser fails to punch in the correct PIN at the checkout, the transaction gets rejected. (Online purchases can be made by setting up a separate transaction code.)
DWhy haven't big banks adopted the more secure technology? When it comes to mailing out new credit cards, it's all about relative costs, says David Robertson, who runs the Nilson Report, an industry newsletter. "The cost of the card, putting the sticker on it, coding the account number and expiration date, embossing( ) it, the small envelope—all put together, you're in the dollar range." A chip-and-PIN card currently costs closer to $3, says Robertson, because of the price of chips. (Once large issuers convert together, the chip costs should drop.)
EMultiply $3 by the more than 5 billion magstripe credit and prepaid cards in circulation in the U.S. Then consider that there's an estimated $12.4 billion in card fraud on a global basis, says Robertson. With 44% of that in the U.S., American credit-card fraud amounts to about $5.5 billion annually. Card issuers have so far calculated that absorbing the liability for even big hacks like the Target one is still cheaper than replacing all that plastic.
FThat leaves American retailers pretty much alone the world over in relying on magstripe technology to charge purchases—and leaves consumers vulnerable. Each magstripe has three tracks of information, explains payments security expert Jeremy Gumbley, the chief technology officer of Credit Call, an electronic-payments company. The first and third are used by the bank or card issuer. Your vital account information lives on the second track, which hackers try to capture. "Malware is scanning through the memory in real time and looking for data," he says. "It creates a text file that gets stolen."
GChip-and-PIN cards, by contrast, make fake cards or skimming impossible because the information that gets scanned is encrypted . The historical reason the U.S. has stuck with magstripe, ironically enough, is once superior technology. Our cheap, ultra-reliable wired networks made credit-card authentication over the phone frictionless. In France, card companies created EMV in part because the telephone monopoly was so maddeningly inefficient and expensive. The EMV solution allowed transactions to be verified locally and securely.
HSome big banks, like Wells Fargo, are now offering to convert your magstripe card to a chip-and-PIN model. It's actually a hybrid that will still have a magstripe, since most U.S. merchants don't have EMV terminals. Should you take them up on it? If you travel internationally, the answer is yes.
IKeep in mind, too, that credit cards typically have better liability protection than debit cards. If someone uses your credit card fraudulently , it's the issuer or merchant, not you, that takes the hit. Debit cards have different liability limits depending on the bank and the events surrounding any fraud. "If it's available, the logical thing is to get a chip-and-PIN card from your bank," says Eric Adamowsky, a co-founder of Credit CardInsider.com. "I would use credit cards over debit cards because of liability issues." Cash still works pretty well too.
JRetailers and banks stand to benefit from the lower fraud levels of chip-and-PIN cards but have been reluctant for years to invest in the new infrastructure needed for the technology, especially if consumers don't have access to it. It's a chicken-and-egg problem: no one wants to spend the money on upgraded point- of-sale systems that can read the chip cards if shoppers aren't carrying them—yet there's little point in consumers' carrying the fancy plastic if stores aren't equipped to use them. (An earlier effort by Target to move to chip and PIN never gained progress.) According to Gumbley, there's a "you-first mentality. The logjam has to be broken."
KJPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently expressed his willingness to do so, noting that banks and merchants have spent the past decade suing each other over interchange fees—the percentage of the transaction price they keep—rather than deal with the growing hacking problem. Chase offers a chip-enabled card under its own brand and several others for travel-related companies such as British Airways and Ritz- Carlton.
LThe Target and Neiman hacks have also changed the cost calculation: although retailers have been reluctant to spend the $6.75 billion that Capgemini consultants estimate it will take to convert all their registers to be chip-and-PIN-compatible, the potential liability they now face is dramatically greater. Target has been hit with class actions from hacked consumers. "It's the ultimate nightmare," a retail executive from a well-known chain admitted to TIME.
MThe card-payment companies MasterCard and Visa are pushing hard for change. The two firms have warned all parties in the transaction chain—merchant, network, bank—that if they don't become EMV-compliant by October 2015, the party that is least compliant will bear the fraud risk.
NIn the meantime, app-equipped smartphones and digital wallets—all of which can use EMV technology—are beginning to make inroads on cards and cash. PayPal, for instance, is testing an app that lets you use your mobile phone to pay on the fly at local merchants—without surrendering any card information to them. And further down the road is biometric authentication, which could be encrypted with, say, a fingerprint.
OCredit and debit cards, though, are going to be with us for the foreseeable future, and so are hackers, if we stick with magstripe technology. "It seems crazy to me," says Gumbley, who is English, "that a cutting-edge technology country is depending on a 40-year-old technology." That's why it may be up to consumers to move the needle on chip and PIN. Says Robertson: "When you get the consumer into a position of worry and inconvenience, that's where the rubber hits the road."

第 4 部分 · 仔细阅读10 题 · 142 分

What's the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? China? India? Brazil? How about trade? When the Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit in June approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doomsaying. Imports, which soared to $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDP. Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth. But there's another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession—a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States—but an economic expansion. The rising volume of trade—more goods and services shuttling in and out of the United States—is good news for many sectors. Companies engaged in shipping, trucking, rail freight, delivery, and logistics( ) have all been reporting better than expected results. The rising numbers signify growing vitality in foreign markets— when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world, and U.S. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price—agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil. And while exports always seem to lag, U.S. companies are becoming more involved in the global economy with each passing month. General Motors sells as many cars in China as in America each month. While that may not do much for imports, it does help GM's balance sheet—and hence makes the jobs of U.S.-based executives more stable. One great challenge for the U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. Americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. That's to be expected, given what we've been through. But there's a bigger challenge. Can U.S.-based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but it's no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home. Companies and individuals who don't have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lion's share of economic opportunity in our world.

46. How do pessimists interpret the U.S. trade deficit in June?

A recurring criticism of the UK's university sector is its perceived weakness in translating new knowledge into new products and services. Recently, the UK National Stem Cell Network warned the UK could lose its place among the world leaders in stem cell research unless adequate funding and legislation could be assured. We should take this concern seriously as universities are key in the national innovation system. However, we do have to challenge the unthinking complaint that the sector does not do enough in taking ideas to market. The most recent comparative data on the performance of universities and research institutions in Australia, Canada, USA and UK shows that, from a relatively weak starting position, the UK now leads on many indicators of commercialisation activity. When viewed at the national level, the policy interventions of the past decade have helped transform the performance of U.K. universities. Evidence suggests the UK's position is much stronger than in the recent past and is still showing improvement. But national data masks the very large variation in the performance of individual universities. The evidence shows that a large number of universities have fallen off the back of the pack, a few perform strongly and the rest chase the leaders. This type of uneven distribution is not peculiar to the U.K. and is mirrored across other economies. In the UK, research is concentrated: less than 25% of universities receive 75% of the research funding. These same universities are also the institutions producing the greatest share of PhD graduates, science citations, patents and licence income. The effect of policies generating long-term resource concentration has also created a distinctive set of universities which are research-led and commercially active. It seems clear that the concentration of research and commercialisation work creates differences between universities. The core objective for universities which are research-led must be to maximise the impact of their research efforts. These universities should be generating the widest range of social, economic and environmental benefits. In return for the scale of investment, they should share their expertise in order to build greater confidence in the sector. Part of the economic recovery of the UK will be driven by the next generation of research commercialisations spilling out of our universities. There are three dozen universities in the UK which are actively engaged in advanced research training and commercialisation work. If there was a greater coordination of technology transfer offices within regions and a simultaneous investment in the scale and functions of our graduate schools, universities could, and should, play a key role in positioning the U.K. for the next growth cycle.

51. What does the author think of UK universities in terms of commercialisation?
  1. A.They still have a place among the world leaders.
  2. B.They have lost their leading position in many ways.
  3. C.They do not regard it as their responsibility.
  4. D.They fail to convert knowledge into money.

参考范文

The saying "If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way" reminds us that true value lies not in the scale of what we do, but in the devotion and care we put into it. In my view, greatness is an attitude rather than a matter of size. Consider an ordinary street cleaner who sweeps every corner spotless before dawn, or a rural teacher who spends decades patiently guiding children in a remote village. Neither builds an empire, yet by pouring perfection into humble tasks, they make an impact far beyond their modest positions. Their example shows that even the smallest job, done with heart, can shine. Had they despised such work as trivial, their potential would have been wasted. Therefore, we should never look down on small things or wait passively for great opportunities. Even if we cannot change the world overnight, doing each ordinary task in an extraordinary way is itself a form of greatness worth pursuing.

参考译文

The traditional Chinese way of hosting guests requires a rich variety of food, so that the guests cannot finish all the dishes. A typical menu at a Chinese banquet includes a set of cold dishes to start the meal, followed by hot dishes such as meat, chicken, duck and vegetables. At most banquets, a whole fish is considered essential, unless various kinds of seafood have already been served. Nowadays, Chinese people like to combine Western specialties with traditional Chinese dishes at one banquet, so it is not uncommon to see steak on the table. Salads have also become popular, although traditionally Chinese people seldom eat any uncooked dishes. There is usually at least one soup at a banquet, which can be served either first or last. Desserts and fruit usually mark the end of the banquet.
