Archaeological(考古学的) findings show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts---by using scissors of knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach flowers , mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.1.How long has paper cutting lasted at least?A. About 600 yearsB. About 1,500 years.C. About 2,000 yearsD. About 2,700 years.2.People put up paper cuts on the windows in order to _______ ?A. make them look more beautiful.B. show others their excellent skillsC. bring them good luck in the new year.D. sell them on the Eve of the Spring Festival.3.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?.A. Two kinds of paper cutsB. Paper cuts are made by handC. Paper cuts are made by machineD. The process of making paper cuts.4.Paper cuts are usually about .A. Family members of the artistsB. sports and social activitiesC. fights between animalsD. things in our daily life.BHere's an unusual story:a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician,Liu Qian,discovered it,in front of an audience of millions at CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. Liu's magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again,and made him the hottest magician in China.As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan,Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States,Japan,South Korea and the UK.Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people's love for magic.Liu is known for his interaction (互动) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧).“It's actually thinking rather than one's manipulation (操作) skills that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively,to make them appear more interesting.”Liu said.Liu Qian's success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan,he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12,he won Taiwan's Youth Magic Contest,which was judged by the great American magician,David Copperfield.Yet,Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur (业余的) magician in his spare time. However,his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.To refine his performing skills,he has performed on streets,roads and fields for passers-by,policemen and farmers.“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,”Liu said.1.The story is about ________.A. Liu Qian's experiences of becoming a great magicianB. why people love magicC. what magic tricks areD. how fashionable magic is2.People love to watch magic because ________.A. they can't figure out the secret of magicB. it makes them happyC. they love watching magicians make something impossible happenD. it is a centuries-old art3.Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic hiscareer?A. He was interested in magic when he was young.B. He had won Taiwan's Youth Magic Contest.C. He became an amateur magician in his spare time.D. He couldn't find an acceptable job after graduation.4.From the story we know that ________.A. Liu Qian competed in many magic competitionsB. Liu Qian often invites audiences to be in his magic showC. Liu Qian performs on streets in order to increase his fameD. Liu Qian does street show to make moneyCThere are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A lime-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization,by 2020 there will be 1 billion,with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example,it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk?One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live,the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible,including during old age,to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries,certainly in Asia,older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily,which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes,attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure:there is no time to be lost.1.The proportion of older people________.A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB. is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesC. will increase much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20202.According to the passage,which of the following are governments most worried about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for older people.3.It is stated directly in the passage that older people should________.A. be treated differently in different culturesB. enjoy a similar lifestyleC. be ignored as society changesD. be valued by the younger generations4.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageingproblem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C. Providing free health care for sick older people.D. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.5.The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB. population ageing is a hard problem,but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem三、单选题(本大题共14小题,共14.0分)1.This is the house _____ I once lived in.A. whereB. whatC. thatD. in which2.I am surprised that a company with the good _______ would produce such poor quality goods.A. enjoymentB. appreciationC. entertainmentD. reputationThe father along with his children ______ solving word puzzles.A. are likeB. is likeC. likeD. likes3.Some of us remain________ at our computer for hours every day,forgetting moving our body.A. seatingB. seatedC. satD. sit4.The scenery in the desert is quite different from _____ by the seaside.A. thatB. itC. oneD. which5.—As a teenager,our son should have two or three hobbies to be really happy.—________,but how can he afford the time with so much homework every day?A.

Questionnaires can be a simple way to get to know your audience’s opinions. Though it is easy to write a questionnaire, you need a lot of skill and experience to write a good one. Luckily,good design skills can be learned in a short time.Keep your questionnaire simple and visually attractiveKeep your questionnaire short and simple. A short and simple questionnaire is more likely to be completed and returned. It is also important to make your questionnaire as attractive as possible. You should keep the following design elements in mind:Text: Choose a font style that is easy to read, and make sure the font size is large enough for your respondents to read.Paragraphs: Long paragraphs can be daunting for readers, so try to keep your blocks of text to a handful of lines.White space: Ensure that there is space between questions and sections and don’t make margins too small.Keep questions brief and easy to understandBe brief and direct with your questions. Do not use any unnecessary words and phrases. Brief questions that use simple language are easy to read and understand, so the participants won’t find it difficult to fill in the questionnaire.Make sure questions are in the right orderYou should start your questionnaire with general questions and then move to specific ones.Try to avoid jumping back and forth between general and specific questions.Use open-ended questions properlyOpen-ended questions mean respondents can answer freely using their own words. They can provide more detailed information, but they take more time and effort to answer and can be more difficult to analyze. You should not use too many open-ended questions in one questionnaire.In a word, taking the time to develop a well-designed and participant-friendly questionnaire will give you useful data that can help you make the right decisions.1. The questionnaire contains following elements except?( )A. Test.B. Paragraph.C. Address2. In order to keep your questionnaire visually attractive, you should ( )A.

1. 阅读填空I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up withplans, organize them and follow through with them.Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.Y ou should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It's just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn't work,one of the others will.Committing yourself to finishing at least part ifnot all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.If you make a commitment to finish before aspecific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.Don't try to tackle (处理) more things all at atime. All that does is delay your progress, distract youand make you lose your interest, motivation andenergy.Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. Y ou will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating ortrying to do more at a time.Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyonearound you including yourself. Unfinished plans are awaste of time, energy and, in some cases,evenmoney.So,don't be afraid of organization. The older weget,the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able tocarry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.2. 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Preslavsky University of Shoumen,9700Shoumen,BulgariaAbstractTwo computer codes relevant for the description of deep inelastic scattering offpolarized targets are discussed.The code µe la deals with radiative corrections to elastic µe scattering,one method applied for muon beam polarimetry.The code HECTOR allows to calculate both the radiative corrections for unpolarized and polarized deep inelastic scattering,including higher order QED corrections.1IntroductionThe exact knowledge of QED,QCD,and electroweak (EW)radiative corrections (RC)to the deep inelastic scattering (DIS)processes is necessary for a precise determination of the nucleon structure functions.The present and forthcoming high statistics measurements of polarized structure functions in the SLAC experiments,by HERMES,and later by COMPASS require the knowledge of the RC to the DIS polarized cross-sections at the percent level.Several codes based on different approaches for the calculation of the RC to DIS experiments,mainly for non-polarized DIS,were developped and thoroughly compared in the past,cf.[1].Later on the radiative corrections for a vast amount of experimentally relevant sets of kinematic variables were calculated [2],including also semi-inclusive situations as the RC’s in the case of tagged photons [3].Furthermore the radiative corrections to elastic µ-e scattering,a process to monitor (polarized)muon beams,were calculated [4].The corresponding codes are :•HECTOR 1.00,(1994-1995)[5],by the Dubna-Zeuthen Group.It calculates QED,QCD and EW corrections for variety of measuremets for unpolarized DIS.•µe la 1.00,(March 1996)[4],calculates O (α)QED correction for polarized µe elastic scattering.•HECTOR1.11,(1996)extends HECTOR1.00including the radiative corrections for polarized DIS[6],and for DIS with tagged photons[3].The beta-version of the code is available from http://www.ifh.de/.2The Programµe laMuon beams may be monitored using the processes ofµdecay andµe scattering in case of atomic targets.Both processes were used by the SMC experiment.Similar techniques will be used by the COMPASS experiment.For the cross section measurement the radiative corrections to these processes have to be known at high precision.For this purpose a renewed calculation of the radiative corrections toσ(µe→µe)was performed[4].The differential cross-section of polarized elasticµe scattering in the Born approximation reads,cf.[7],dσBORNm e Eµ (Y−y)2(1−P e Pµ) ,(1)where y=yµ=1−E′µ/Eµ=E′e/Eµ=y e,Y=(1+mµ/2/Eµ)−1=y max,mµ,m e–muon and electron masses,Eµ,E′µ,E′e the energies of the incoming and outgoing muon,and outgoing electron respectively,in the laboratory frame.Pµand P e denote the longitudinal polarizations of muon beam and electron target.At Born level yµand y e agree.However,both quantities are different under inclusion of radiative corrections due to bremsstrahlung.The correction factors may be rather different depending on which variables(yµor y e)are used.In the SMC analysis the yµ-distribution was used to measure the electron spin-flip asymmetry A expµe.Since previous calculations,[8,9],referred to y e,and only ref.[9]took polarizations into account,a new calculation was performed,including the complete O(α)QED correction for the yµ-distribution,longitudinal polarizations for both leptons,theµ-mass effects,and neglecting m e wherever possible.Furthermore the present calculation allows for cuts on the electron re-coil energy(35GeV),the energy balance(40GeV),and angular cuts for both outgoing leptons (1mrad).The default values are given in parentheses.Up to order O(α3),14Feynman graphs contribute to the cross-section forµ-e scattering, which may be subdivided into12=2×6pieces,which are separately gauge invariantdσQEDdyµ.(2) One may express(2)also asdσQEDdyµ+P e Pµdσpol kk=1−Born cross-section,k=b;2−RC for the muonic current:vertex+bremsstrahlung,k=µµ;3−amm contribution from muonic current,k=amm;4−RC for the electronic current:vertex+bremsstrahlung,k=ee;5−µe interference:two-photon exchange+muon-electron bremsstrahlung interference,k=µe;6−vacuum polarization correction,runningα,k=vp.The FORTRAN code for the scattering cross section(2)µe la was used in a recent analysis of the SMC collaboration.The RC,δA yµ,to the asymmetry A QEDµeshown infigures1and2is defined asδA yµ=A QEDµedσunpol.(4)The results may be summarized as follows.The O(α)QED RC to polarized elasticµe scattering were calculated for thefirst time using the variable yµ.A rather general FORTRAN codeµe la for this process was created allowing for the inclusion of kinematic cuts.Since under the conditions of the SMC experiment the corrections turn out to be small our calculation justifies their neglection. 3Program HECTOR3.1Different approaches to RC for DISThe radiative corrections to deep inelastic scattering are treated using two basic approaches. One possibility consists in generating events on the basis of matrix elements including the RC’s. This approach is suited for detector simulations,but requests a very hughe number of events to obtain the corrections at a high precision.Alternatively,semi-analytic codes allow a fast and very precise evaluation,even including a series of basic cuts andflexible adjustment to specific phase space requirements,which may be caused by the way kinematic variables are experimentally measured,cf.[2,5].Recently,a third approach,the so-called deterministic approach,was followed,cf.[10].It treats the RC’s completely exclusively combining features of fast computing with the possibility to apply any cuts.Some elements of this approach were used inµe la and in the branch of HECTOR1.11,in which DIS with tagged photons is calculated.Concerning the theoretical treatment three approaches are in use to calculate the radiative corrections:1)the model-independent approach(MI);2)the leading-log approximation(LLA); and3)an approach based on the quark-parton model(QPM)in evaluating the radiative correc-tions to the scattering cross-section.In the model-independent approach the QED corrections are only evaluated for the leptonic tensor.Strictly it applies only for neutral current processes.The hadronic tensor can be dealt with in its most general form on the Lorentz-level.Both lepton-hadron corrections as well as pure hadronic corrections are neglected.This is justified in a series of cases in which these corrections turn out to be very small.The leading logarithmic approximation is one of the semi-analytic treatments in which the different collinear singularities of O((αln(Q2/m2l))n)are evaluated and other corrections are neglected.The QPM-approach deals with the full set of diagrams on the quark level.Within this method,any corrections(lepton-hadron interference, EW)can be included.However,it has limited precision too,now due to use of QPM-model itself. Details on the realization of these approaches within the code HECTOR are given in ref.[5,11].3.2O (α)QED Corrections for Polarized Deep Inelastic ScatteringTo introduce basic notation,we show the Born diagramr rr r j r r r r l ∓( k 1,m )l ∓( k 2,m )X ( p ′,M h )p ( p ,M )γ,Z ¨¨¨¨B ¨¨¨¨£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡£¢ ¡z r r r r r r r r r r r r r rr ¨¨¨¨B ¨¨¨¨r r r r j r r r r and the Born cross-section,which is presented as the product of the leptonic and hadronic tensordσBorn =2πα2p.k 1,x =Q 2q 2F 1(x,Q 2)+p µ p ν2p.qF 3(x,Q 2)+ie µνλσq λs σ(p.q )2G 2(x,Q 2)+p µ s ν+ s µ p νp.q1(p.q )2G 4(x,Q 2)+−g µν+q µq νp.qG 5(x,Q 2),(8)wherep µ=p µ−p.qq 2q µ,and s is the four vector of nucleon polarization,which is given by s =λp M (0, n )in the nucleonrest frame.The combined structure functions in eq.(8)F1,2(x,Q2)=Q2e Fγγ1,2(x,Q2)+2|Q e|(v l−p eλl a l)χ(Q2)FγZ1,2(x,Q2)+ v2l+a2l−2p eλl v l a l χ2(Q2)F ZZ1,2(x,Q2),F3(x,Q2)=2|Q e|(p e a l−λl v l)χ(Q2)FγZ3(x,Q2),+ 2p e v l a l−λl v2l+a2l χ2(Q2)F ZZ3(x,Q2),G1,2(x,Q2)=−Q2eλl gγγ1,2(x,Q2)+2|Q e|(p e a l−λl v l)χ(Q2)gγZ1,2(x,Q2),+ 2p e v l a l−λl v2l+a2l χ2(Q2)g ZZ1,2(x,Q2),G3,4,5(x,Q2)=2|Q e|(v l−p eλl a l)χ(Q2)gγZ3,4,5(x,Q2),+ v2l+a2l−2p eλl v l a l χ2(Q2)g ZZ3,4,5(x,Q2),(9) are expressed via the hadronic structure functions,the Z-boson-lepton couplings v l,a l,and the ratio of the propagators for the photon and Z-bosonχ(Q2)=Gµ2M2ZQ2+M2Z.(10)Furthermore we use the parameter p e for which p e=1for a scattered lepton and p e=−1for a scattered antilepton.The hadronic structure functions can be expressed in terms of parton densities accounting for the twist-2contributions only,see[12].Here,a series of relations between the different structure functions are used in leading order QCD.The DIS cross-section on the Born-leveld2σBorndxdy +d2σpol Borndxdy =2πα2S ,S U3(y,Q2)=x 1−(1−y)2 ,(13) and the polarized partdσpol BornQ4λp N f p S5i=1S p gi(x,y)G i(x,Q2).(14)Here,S p gi(x,y)are functions,similar to(13),and may be found in[6].Furthermore we used the abbrevationsf L=1, n L=λp N k 12πSy 1−y−M2xy2π1−yThe O(α)DIS cross-section readsd2σQED,1πδVRd2σBorndx l dy l=d2σunpolQED,1dx l dy l.(16)All partial cross-sections have a form similar to the Born cross-section and are expressed in terms of kinematic functions and combinations of structure functions.In the O(α)approximation the measured cross-section,σrad,is define asd2σraddx l dy l +d2σQED,1dx l dy l+d2σpol radd2σBorn−1.(18)The radiative corrections calculated for leptonic variables grow towards high y and smaller values of x.Thefigures compare the results obtained in LLA,accounting for initial(i)andfinal state (f)radiation,as well as the Compton contribution(c2)with the result of the complete calculation of the leptonic corrections.In most of the phase space the LLA correction provides an excellent description,except of extreme kinematic ranges.A comparison of the radiative corrections for polarized deep inelastic scattering between the codes HECTOR and POLRAD[17]was carried out.It had to be performed under simplified conditions due to the restrictions of POLRAD.Corresponding results may be found in[11,13,14].3.3ConclusionsFor the evaluation of the QED radiative corrections to deep inelastic scattering of polarized targets two codes HECTOR and POLRAD exist.The code HECTOR allows a completely general study of the radiative corrections in the model independent approach in O(α)for neutral current reac-tions including Z-boson exchange.Furthermore,the LLA corrections are available in1st and2nd order,including soft-photon resummation and for charged current reactions.POLRAD contains a branch which may be used for some semi-inclusive DIS processes.The initial state radia-tive corrections(to2nd order in LLA+soft photon exponentiation)to these(and many more processes)can be calculated in detail with the code HECTOR,if the corresponding user-supplied routine USRBRN is used together with this package.This applies both for neutral and charged current processes as well as a large variety of different measurements of kinematic variables. Aside the leptonic corrections,which were studied in detail already,further investigations may concern QED corrections to the hadronic tensor as well as the interference terms.

So it's good to know that new technology is making cas h -bank notes and coins – a thing of the past, turning us into a ca shless society.Today, many of us already use credit and debit cards for financial transactions(交易) so there's no need to carry around hard currency. And n ow it's possible to make contactless payments using tap-and-go cards which are regular bankcards but with a built-in chip and antenna(天线). The card reader sends out a radio frequency and, when you bring the card close to the reader, the antenna picks up th e signal to make the payment.Paying this way or spending on ' plastic' – an informal name f or a credit card – can put you at risk of fraud. Criminals try to steal cards, or the information on them, to make purchases on line or in shops. However, contactless payment is capped——in the the limit is £30. And, if someone does go on a spendin g spree with your card, your bank covers you against the loss – something that wouldn't happen if your banknotes were stol en. Also, the introduction of chip and pin technology has led t o a drop in fraud and has even been helping businesses by c utting the time people spend at tills in shops.But, if getting your bankcard out seems like too much trouble, there's now a solution using wearable tech——that's clothing and accessories that include computer and ele ctronic technologies. Kenneth Cukier, economist and technolo gy expert, says "this is intended for people who are incrediblylazy who don't want to take their card out of their wallet, or us e their phone, or use their watch. People are going to be maki ng more purchases more of the time – particularly for small-valued goods."And, although our mobile phones are another way of making payments, BBC reporter Kate Russell says that when this is in convenient you can use the fingo—pay system which "reads the unique maps of veins under the surface of your finger." The trick is remembering which finger you registered with. What do you prefer to use when you buy something?Which of the following doesn’t belong to the cashless paymen t?A. Credit cardsB. Tap-and-go payC. spending spreeD. Fingo-payMany measures have been taken to ensure the credit card hol ders’ profits EXCEPT_______?A. Setting a maximum in transactionsB. Using wearable techC. Applying chip and pin technologyD. Making up for loss in a fraudWhat can we learn from Kenneth Cukier’s statement?Contactless payment will promote purchase to some degree. More and more people are too lazy to use bankcard as a way of payment.Wearable tech is safer and thus should replace the credit card s.Only phones and watches can be used as wearable tech to b uy things.B篇People rarely feel their cleanest after a workout, but your own sweat might be the least of your issues. Your gym equipment could also be full of bacteria. Fitness equipment review site Fi got bacteria samples from 27 pieces of equipmen t from three large gym chains. The results will make you want to take a long shower.Free weights have an average of more than 1.1 million colo ny-forming units(菌落形成单位) per square inch, according to . In comparison, the National Sanitation Foundation says you’d find 172 CF U per square inch on a home toilet seat. But treadmills(跑步机) and stationary bikes were even worse offenders, with ab out 7,752 times more bacteria than a home toilet seat. That’s even more than these objects with more bacteria than a toilet.Touching a surface with bacteria won’t necessarily make you sick. Some bacteria aren’t harmful, and others won’t do any h arm in small amounts. But the fact that 70 percent of bacteria from the tested equipment tested were potential ly harmful isn’t very comforting. If you tend to skip wiping dow n your workout machine, take that extra 30 seconds before an d after you use the equipment. Even if you’re not a germapho be(有洁癖的人), you’ll be doing the rest of us a favor.And since you can’t control what everyone else does, avoid g etting sick by waiting to wipe your sweaty brow until you’ve w ashed your hands. “Your best defense is to be aware of washi ng your hands post workout and before eating or touching you r face,” Kelly Reynolds, microbiologist and associate professo r at the Zuckerman College of Public Health in , tells HuffPost. Oh, and don’t you dare rewear your sweaty clothes without d oing laundry?What does the underlined sentence imply?People need to take a bath after a workout.The gym equipment people use could not be so clean as ima gined.The sweat might be the leading cause of taking a shower.It isn’t a good idea to use fitness equipment to exercise. What method doesn’t the writer use to convince the readers?A.Making comparisionB. Listing examplesC. Giving definitionsD. Referring to the research findings26.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To discuss the unknown causes of illnessB. To provide the ways of keeping fitC. To inform the necessity of cleaning the fitness equipmentD. To show the importance of doing exerciseC篇For people living in some remote villages in , heating houses and fuelling stoves can be a real challenge. The resources re quired, like gas and wood, have to get shipped in and distribut ed to individual households.The good news is that this antiquated system is now on its way out, thanks to an unlikely source: tofu. In , tofu isn't just a sn ack——it's a necessity, with hundreds of small, family-run shops producing tofu in massive quantities every day. No w, thanks to a government-run program, the waste water from all that tofu production is g etting transformed into biogas(沼气)that can be pumped directly to houses.But how does it work? First, let's talk about tofu. Tofu has bee n made the same way for generations. Basically, producers st art by soaking and grinding(磨)soybeans to separate the soy milk from the soy pulp. After the separated parts go through a filtration system(过滤系统), the protein and oil are separated from the soy milk. A ch emical coagulant(凝结剂) is added to firm everything up. Once formed, you have to fu ready for cutting. Though simple in practice, an enormous a mount of water is required to make tofu - roughly 33 liters for every kilogram.Researchers found that this waste water could be turned into biogas if a certain type of bacteria is added to it. Every day, th e waste water is collected from various shops and treated wit h bacteria. Once transformed, the gas is pumped directly to lo cal homes.Besides creating a green energy source for locals, using all th at waste water has significantly helped the local environment. The hope for Kalisari is to become the first full-blown green village in . There's no reason why similar progra ms couldn’t sweep across the region, dramatically changing t he way people get the energy they need to live out their lives. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph2?old-fashioned B. modern C. popular D. effective What is the right order to produce biogas from Tofu?adding a chemical coagulantseparating the protein and oil from the soy milksoaking and grinding soybeanpouring an enormous amount of water1 32 43 2 1 43 14 22 13 4Which are not the benefits of this new technique?The waste water drained from the raw tofu can be reused. The waterways and the rice fields are free from the danger of contaminating.It can reduce the amount of water which is required to make t ofu.The transformed gas can be pumped directly to local homes. What can we infer from the passage?There is still a long way for Kalisari to become the first bull-blown green village.This new program has the potential to be promoted.The similar program can’t be applied in the different regions The new energy makes little difference to the local people.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2023年高考英语新热点时文阅读-科学技术01(河北省示范性高中2022-2023学年高三9月调研考试英语试题)Housing ranks high among the numerous challenges that still need to be overcome before humans can colonize(征服) Mars. The brave pioneers that make the six-month voyage to the Red Planet will need a place to live in as soon as they land. While the best solution would be to have the structures ready before they get there, it has so far been a challenge given that most construction robots have never made it out of the laboratory. Now, there may be a bit of hope thanks to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s newly revealed Digital Construction Platform (DCP).The DCP comprises a double arm system that is fitted on a tracked vehicle. As the larger arm moves, the smaller, precision motor robotic arm builds the structure by shooting out the necessary construction material, ranging from insulation foam(绝缘泡沫) to concrete. The team of researchers led by Ph. D.Steven Keating say that unlike other 3-D printers that are limited to building objects that fit within their overall enclosure, DCP’s free moving systems can be used to construct structures of any size.The team recently demonstrated the DCP’s building skills on an empty field in Mountain View, CA.The robot began by creating a mold with expanding foam that hardens when dry. It then constructed the building, layer by layer, using sensors to raise itself higher as it progressed. The final product was a sturdy “home” that had 50-foot diameter walls and a 12-foot high roof with room for essentials like electricity wires and water pipes to be inserted inside. Even more impressive? It took a mere 14 hours to “print”!The researchers’ next plan is to make the DCP smart enough to analyze the environment where the structure is going to be built and determine the material densities best suited for the area. However, that’s noteven the best part. Future DCP models are going to be solar-powered, autonomous, and, most importantly, capable of sourcing construction components from its surroundings. This means the robot can be sent to remote, disaster-stricken areas, and perhaps even to Mars, to build shelters using whatever material is available.1.What do we learn from the first paragraph?A.Housing pioneers on Mars is a reality.B.Colonizing Mars is out of the question.C.Building structures on Mars is in the testing phases.D.Finding a liveable place on Mars is a top priority.2.How does the DCP differ from other 3-D printers?A.It consumes less time.B.It comes in more different sizes.C.It is more environmentally friendly.D.It can build more diverse structures.3.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The successful case of the DCP.B.The working principle of the DCP.C.The instructions of using the DCP.D.The limitation of the DCP’s function.4.What might be the biggest highlight of future DCP ?A.Being powered by solar.B.Building shelters anywhere.C.Collecting building materials on site.D.Analyzing building material densities.02(2022·河南·洛宁县第一高级中学高三开学考试)Climate science has been rapidly advancing in recent years, but the foundations were laid hundreds of years ago.In the 1820s, French scientist Joseph Fourier theorized that Earth must have some way of keeping heat and that the atmosphere may play some role. In 1850, American scientist Eunice Newton Foote put thermometers(温度计)in glass bottles and experimented with placing them in sunlight. Inside the bottles, Foote compared dry air, wet air, N2, O2 and CO, and found that the bottle containing humid air warmed upmore and stayed hotter longer than the bottle containing dry air,and that it was followed by the bottle containing CO2. In 1859, Irish scientist John Tyndall began measuring how much heat different gases in the atmosphere absorb. And in 1896, Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius concluded that more CO2in the atmosphere would cause the planet to heat up: These findings planted some of the earliest seeds of climate science.The first critical breakthrough happened in 1967 when Syukuro Manabe and Richard Wetherald connected energy absorbed by the atmosphere to the air movement vertically over Earth.They built a model which first included all the main physical processes related to climate changes. The predictions and the explanations based on their model still hold true in the real world almost half a century later.The model was improved in the 1980s by Klaus Hasselmann who connected short-term weather patterns with long-term climate changes. Hasselmann found that even random weather data could yield insight into broader patterns.“ The greatest uncertainty in the model remains what human beings will do. Figuring it out is 1,000 times harder than understanding the physics behind climate changes,” Manabe said.“ There are many things we can do to prevent climate change. The whole question is whether people will realize that something which will happen in20 or 30 years is something you have to respond to now.”So, it’s up to us to solve the problem that these pioneers helped the world understand.5.What does the word “humid” underlined in paragraph 2 mean?A.Cool.B.Cold.C.Dry.D.Wet.6.What is Klaus Hasselmann’s contribution to climate science?A.He found that CO2 causes global warming.B.He invented a unique measuring instrument.C.He improved Manabe and Wetherald’s model.D.He built a reliable model on climate change.7.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The biggest problem with the climate model.B.The necessity for human beings to take action now.C.The challenge of understanding climate change.D.Measures to be taken to prevent climate change.8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Negative Effects of the Global WarmingB.Historic Breakthroughs in Climate ScienceC.Main Causes Leading to Climate ChangeD.Difficulties of Preventing Climate Change03(2022·河北邯郸·高三开学考试)To effectively interact with humans in crowded social settings, such as malls, hospitals, and other public spaces, robots should be able to actively participate in both group and one-to-one interactions. Most existing robots, however, have been found to perform much better when communicating with individual users than with groups of conversing humans. Hooman Hedayati and Daniel Szafir, two researchers at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have recently developed a new data-driven technique that could improve how robots communicate with groups of humans.One of the reasons why many robots occasionally misbehave while participating in a group conversation is that their actions heavily rely on data collected by their sensors. Sensors, however, are prone (易于遭受) to errors, and can sometimes be disturbed by sudden movements and obstacles in the robot’s surroundings.“If the robot’s camera is masked by an obstacle for a second, the robot might not see that person, and as a result, it ignores the user,” Hedayati explained. “Based on my experience, users find these misbehaviors disturbing. The key goal of our recent project was to help robots detect and predict the position of an undetected person within the conversational group.”The technique developed by Hedayati and Szafir was trained on a series of existing datasets. By analyzing the positions of other speakers in a group, it can accurately predict the position of an undetected user.In the future, the new approach could help to enhance the conversational abilities of both existing and newly developed robots. This might in turn make them easier to serve in large public spaces, including malls, hospitals, and other public places. “The next step for us will be to improve the gaze behavior of robots in a conversational group. People find robots with a better gaze behavior more intelligent. We want to improve the gaze behavior of robots and make the human-robot conversational group more enjoyable for humans.” Hedayati said.9.What is the technique developed by Hedayati and Szafir based on?A.Data.B.Cameras.C.Existing robots.D.Social settings.10.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A.The working procedure of robots.B.The ability of robots to communicate.C.The experience of the researchers.D.The shortcomings of existing robots.11.What will happen if a robot’s camera is blocked?A.It will stop working.B.It will break down.C.It will abuse its user.D.It will misbehave.12.What do we know about the new data-driven technique?A.It is considered a failure.B.It has been used in malls.C.It gets satisfactory result.D.It only works with new robots.04(2021·浙江湖州·高三阶段练习)Researchers say they have used brain waves of a paralyzed man who cannot speak to produce words from his thoughts onto a computer. A team led by Dr. Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, carried out the experiment.“Most of us take for granted how easily we communicate through speech,” Chang told The Associated Press. “It’s exciting to think we’re at the very beginning of a new chapter, a new field to ease the difficulties of patients who lost that ability.” The researchers admit that such communication methods for paralysis victims will require years of additional research. But, they say the new study marks an important step forward.Today, paralysis victims who cannot speak or write have very limited ways of communicating. For example, a victim can use a pointer attached to a hat that lets him move his head to touch words or letters on a screen. Other devices can pick up a person’s eye movements. But such methods are slow and a very limited replacement for speech.Using brain signals to work around disabilities is currently a hot field of study. Chang’s team built their experiment on earlier work. The process uses brain waves that normally control the voice system. The researchers implanted electrodes on the surface of the man’s brain, over the area that controls speech. A computer observed the patterns when he attempted to say common words such as “water” or “good.” Overtime, the computer became able to differentiate between 50 words that could form more than 1,000 sentences. Repeatedly given questions such as “How are you today?” or “Are you thirsty,” the device enabled the man to answer “I am very good” or “No, I am not thirsty.” The words were not voiced, but were turned into text on the computer.In an opinion article published with the study, Harvard brain doctors Leigh Hochberg and Sydney Cash called the work a “pioneering study.” The two doctors said the technology might one day help people with injuries, strokes or diseases like Lou Gehrig’s. People with such diseases have brains that “prepare messages for delivery, but those messages are trapped,” they wrote.13.How is the new method different from the current ones?A.It involves a patient’s brain waves.B.It can pick up a patient’s eye movements.C.It is a very limited replacement for speech.D.It can help a patient regain his speech ability.14.What does the underlined word “differentiate” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Organize.B.Learn.C.Distinguish.D.Speak.15.What was Leigh Hochberg and Sydney Cash’s attitude towards the study?A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Critical.16.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Researchers Found Good Methods to Help Paralyzed PatientsB.Device Uses Brain Waves of Paralyzed Man to Help Him CommunicateC.Years of Additional Work Needed to Improve the Communication MethodsD.Device Uses Brain Waves of Paralyzed Man to Cure His Speaking Disability05(2022·安徽·高三开学考试)When people think of farming today, they usually picture a tractor (拖拉机) rather than horses in the farmland. That’s because tractors that relied on engines revolutionized farming in the late 1800s. Now a new type of tractor can do the same in the 21st century.Agriculture has been changing dramatically in the last few decades. The push for innovation is fed by the need to produce larger amounts of food for a growing world population. Autonomous tractors may be the key to solving this challenge. They can be used to carry out labor-intensive farming while allowing farmersto do other work. A big plus is that it can increase crop output while reducing costs because the autonomous machines can work in all weather conditions without any rest.Part of push for automation is a shortage of farm workers due to people’s desire to have higher paying jobs with better work conditions. Farm owners are competing against companies like Amazon and restaurants that are raising wages to attract workers. “With labor shortages and the increase in the hourly wages that have to be paid in order to be competitive, all of a sudden automation seems like a more reasonable decision,” said David Swartz, a professor at Penn State University.Many believe the time is ripe for an autonomous revolution because robotics is already in use in agriculture. One company that is working to bring autonomous tractors into main stream farming is Blue and White Robotics, an Israeli agricultural technology company, whose mission is to make a fully autonomous farm. The company released an autonomous tractor kit in February 2021 that can be fixed on any existing tractor. The kit includes camera detection, speed controls, as well as an anti-crash system. Blue and White’s kit is being used by West Coast growers in the US. It may soon come to a farm near you.17.What contributes to the agricultural revolution according to Paragraph 2?A.The urge to feed more people.B.The extreme weather conditions.C.The need to reduce farming cost.D.The desire for automatic farming.18.What is Swartz’s attitude to automation?A.Critical.B.Negative.C.Supportive.D.Indifferent.19.What can be inferred about Blue and White’s kit?A.It has been widely used.B.It can be made in many firms.C.It can improve safety of tractors.D.It will detect the way of farming.20.What may be a suitable title for the text?A.Automation Is Transforming Agriculture B.Big Companies Are Making A Difference C.Driverless Tractors Are Worth Investing D.Traditional Farming Is Falling out of Date参考答案:1.C2.D3.A4.C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。
Quarkyonic Matter and the PhaseDiagram of QCDLarry McLerranAugust 7,2008Physics Department and Riken Brookhaven Research Center,Building 510ABrookhaven National Laboratory,Upton,NY-11973,USAAbstractQuarkyonic matter is a new phase of QCD at finite temperature and density which is distinct from the confined and de-confined phases.Its existence is unambiguously argued in the large numbers of colors limit,N c →∞,of QCD.Hints of its existence for QCD,N c =3,are shown in lattice Monte-Carlo data and in heavy ion experiments.1Quarkyonic Matter and the Large N c limit of QCDThe large N c limit of QCD has provided numerous insights into the structure of strongly interacting matter,both in vacuum,[1],and at finite temperature.[2]The large N c approximation allows a correct reproduction of both qualitative and semi-quantitative features of QCD.If the number of fermions is held finite as N c →∞,then QCD in this limit is confining in vacuum.The spectrum of the confined world consists of non-interacting confined mesons and glueballs.At finite temperature,there is a first order phase transition between a confined world of glueballs and mesons and an unconfined world of gluons.The energy density,pressure and entropy are parametrically of order one in the confined world since the confined states are colorless,but in the de-confined world are of order N 2c ,corresponding to the N 2c gluon degrees of freedom.The latent heatof the phase transition is of order N2c .As one approaches the phase transition from lower temperature,the tran-sition is hinted at by the existence of a Hagedorn spectrum of particles,whose density accumulates as one approaches the phase transition temperature.This accumulation resolves the paradoxical situation that at large N c ,hadrons do not interact,which seems to contradict the existence of a de-confining phase transition.If there is an accumulation of states at the Hagedorn temperature,then the the high density of states very near to the transition temperature can1a r X i v :0808.1057v 1 [h e p -p h ] 7 A u g 2008compensate for weak interaction strength,resulting in a strongly interacting gas of hadrons.The results of lattice computations for QCD(N c=3)are in qualitative accord with the results at large N c.[3]There is a rapid change at at a well defined temperature,although not a strict discontinuity when afinite number of quarkflavors are included.The presence of quarks makes the order parameter for confinement not so well defined,since the order parameter is e−βF q where inverse temperature isβand the change in the free energy of the system,F q, is that due to the addition of a quark.In a theory with no light quarks,one can still probe the system with a heavy quark source,which corresponds to the order parameter.In such a theory,e−βF q=0in the confined phase because the quarks have infinite mass.In the de-confined phase,the order parameter isfinite.When light quarks are included,these light quarks can form bound states with the heavy quark probes,and so the free energy need never be infinite. The presence of light quarks therefore does not allow for an order parameter for confinement,In QCD,since there is no order parameter associated with confinement,there need be no strict phase transition,and there appears not to be for realistic quark masses.There is nevertheless a quite rapid transition at a temperature of about200MeV,where the energy density changes by of order N2c,in accord with large N c arguments.The popular wisdom for QCD atfinite temperature and density is that there is a line of cross overs,perhaps converting to afirst order phase transition at high density and low temperature,that separates the confined and de-confined world.Typically plots are made as a function of temperature T and baryon chemical potential,µ.Such a hypothetical diagram is shown in Figure1.At very high temperature and density,there may be phase transitions associated with color superconductivity,which affect transport properties of quark-gluon matter,but are not so important for bulk properties such as pressure and energy density.[4]Unfortunately,the conventional wisdom about the phase diagram has never been explicitly verified.It is quite difficult to disentangle the assumptions built into various model computations from the hard predictions of QCD.[5]Lattice Monte-Carlo computations are extremely difficult at high baryon density.[3] In this talk,I will review the recent results concerning the phase diagram atfinite T andµin the limit of a large number of colors.[6]In this limit,it is possible to extract model independent results.The surprise result of these considerations is that in addition to the confined and de-confined phases of QCD, there is a third phase.It turns out that the pressure and energy density of this phase behave like a gas of quarks at very high baryon density,but nevertheless is confined.Confinement is important for properties of the matter near the Fermi surface,where excitations are required to be bound into color singlets Rob Pisarski and I named this phase the quarkyonic phase,since it has properties of both high density baryonic matter and de-confined quark matter.To understand how such a new phase of matter might come about,we need to understand that dynamical quarks do not modify the potential between heavy test quarks at large N c.We shallfirst consider the case that N c→∞but that2Figure 1:The conventional wisdom about the QCD phase transition at finite temperature and density.the number of quark flavors is held fixed.We will later turn to the case where N F /N c is held fixed.This limit with finite number of flavors is easiest to consider since there is a confined and a de-confined phase.For finite N F /N c ,there is no distinction between a confined and de-confined phase,although there might perhaps be a remnant of these phases associated with a cross over.In Figure 2,the gluon loop and quark loop modifications of the potential are shown.At finite temperature,the first diagram Debye screens the potential at large distances.This can short out the linear potential when the temperaute is high enough.The second diagram corresponds to a quark loop and is suppressed by 1/N c at large N c .When expressed in terms of the t’Hooft coupling,the temperature T and the quark chemical pottential µQ ,it is of order αT 2F (µQ /T )/N c Note that the baryon chemical potential is µB =N c µQ .Typically,the baryon chemical potential is of order the baryon mass M B ∼N c ΛQCD .The high density limit is µQ >>ΛQCD .In order for the quark loops to be important,the quark chemical potential must be of order µQ ∼√N c ΛQCD which approaches infinity in the large N c limitThis argument shows that the presence of baryons at finite density does not affect the values of the confinement-deconfinement transition temperature.How can there be any non-trivial physics due to finite baryon number density?It turns out that at large N c there is another order parameter,which is the baryon number density.Remember that the baryon number density isρB ∼e (µB −M B )/T(1)3Figure 2:Diagrams which modify the potential at high energy density .Since both µB and M B are of order N c ,ρB ∼e −κN c so long as µB ≤M B .Here κis a constant of order 1.Therefore there is a finite region in the µB −T plane where the baryon number density is zero.This is the confined-baryonless world.At high temperature,in the de-confined world,the quarks are the correct degrees of freedom in which to measure baryon number and the baryon number is finite.As one increases the baryon number density at temperatures below the confinement temperature,there is a phase which is confined,but the baryon number chemical potential is large enough that the baryon number density is finite.The bottom line of these arguments is that there are two order parameters corresponding to confinement and to baryon number.This in principle allows four possible phases.The phase where there is de-cofninement and zero baryon number density is apparently not realized in nature,but the other three may be.We can compute the dependence of the pressure and energy density on N c for the quarkyonic phase.To do this,assume the quark chemical potential is large compared to ΛQCD .The pressure and energy density are computable in this limit and are of order N c .It is remarkable that the bulk properties of quarkyonic matter may be computed using perturbation theory at very high density.This is despite that such matter is confined.This is not unprecedented,since computations of scattering processes at short distances may be done in perturbation theory,even though the processes take place in the confined vac-uum.The perturbation expansion works for bulk thermodynamic quantities because the major contribution arises from quarks deep inside the Fermi sea,where short distance interactions dominate.Pairing processes near the Fermi surface are sensitive to long distance affects,and presumably pairs which form near the Fermi surface must be confined.The fact that the energy density and pressure are proportional to N c may also be seen in a Skyrmyonic description of baryons for two flavors.Such a description follows from the large N c limit.[7]The action for Skyrmions is S = d 4x f 2πtr V µV †µ+κtr [V µ,V ν]2 (2)In this equation,V µis a derivative of a n SU (2)group element,and both f πand κare constants of order N c .We see that the action is therefore of order N c ,so that bulk quantities such as pressure and energy density computed in this theory should also be of order N cThese arguments show that the confined-baryonless phase has bulk proper-ties of order 1in N c ,the de-coniined phase of order N 2c and the quarkyonic4phase is of order N c The phase diagram for QCD in the large N c limit is shownin Fig.3.Figure3:The phase diagram for large N c QCD.The change in the bulk properties of the system whenµB crosses the confinement-quarkyonic transition is of order N c.We can also estimate the width of the transition region.Recall that in the large N c limit baryons are very strongly interacting.When the number density of baryons becomes of order1/Λ3QCDor when the Fermi momentum is k F∼ΛQCD,,one will no doubt have madea transition to quarkyonc matter.This density is controlled by the Fermi mo-mentum.For baryons with large masses of order N c,we see that the baryonchemical potential is of order,µB∼M B+k2F /2M B.This means that in a widthof order1/N c inµB or of order1/N2c inµQ,the transition is achieved.In the large N c limit,this width shrinks to zero.2Finite N F/N cThefinite ratio of N F/N c in the large N c limit implies that there is no distinction between the confined and de-confined worlds atfinite temperature and density. The baryon number density remains a valid order parameter.The transition is driven because of the huge degeneracy of the lowest mass baryon states.There are of order e N c G(N F/N c)such states,where G is a function determined by Young-Tableau which counts such states.The baryon density isρB∼e N c G(N F/N c)e−M B/T+µB/T(3) This has a transition whenµB=M B−T N c G(N c/N F)In this case the world is divided into that of mesons without baryons,and a world withfinite baryon number density.53Phenomenology and SpeculationIt is tempting to speculate on the nature of the phase transition in QCD for N c =3and realistic numbers of flavors.It is difficult a priori to know whether phase transitions remain or whether they become cross overs.I have little to say about this.It is clear that the diagram drawn in Fig.3becomes smoothed due to finite N c and N F effects.This means that the transition line at small µB and finite T has some small decrease as µB increases.When µB ∼√N c ΛQCD ,the line of finite temperature transitions will have either disappeared or have dipped near T =0.If it dips down,it probably is a weak transition because the effect of de-confinement is to liberate gluons and at low T and high µ,and there the ratio of gluons to quarks is very small.Most likely,the finite temperature line of transitions ends in a second order point,if it was ever a first order transition.Presumably,there is still a tricritical region as in the large N c limit.If the transition becomes a cross over,then perhaps a critical point slides along the line of quarkyonic-confined transition.The large N c considerations must be further developed in order to say any-thing about the chiral transition.Chiral symmetry breaking should be a Fermi surface effect in the quarkyonic phase.[8]Whether or not it is restored in the quarkyonic phase,or only approximately restored is not resolved.A hypothetical phase diagram for QCD is shown in Fig.4.Figure 4:A hypothetical phase diagram for QCD.Perhaps the strongest hints for the existence of a quarkyonic phase come from the ratios of integrated yields of particles produced in heavy ion experiments.[9].This is supposed to give information about the decoupling temperature and chemical potential of matter produced in heavy ion collisions.Since the energy density jumps by of order N c N F Λ4QCD across the quarkyonic transition,and since in large N c ,particle cross sections do not change their N c dependence[10],one might expect that the freeze out occurs at the quarkyonic phase transition.In Figure 5,the supposed decoupling temperature and baryon chemical po-tential are computed for various energies of experiments.Note that the line goes to zero temperature at about the nucleon mass.This is easy to interpret6in terms of the quarkyonic phase transition,but difficult to understand if the line corresponded to the confinement transition.Figure5:The decoupling temperature and density of matter produced in heavy ion collisions.Also shown on the plot are results of computations from the bag model and from lattice gauge theory which show the weak dependence on baryon chemical potential of the confinement transition line.There is some lattice data which argues in favor of the existence of the quarkyonic phase.In the computations of Fodor et.al.,micro-canonical tech-niques were used on lattices of very small size.[11]They found the phase diagram shown in Figure6.4ConclusionsQuarkyonic matter forces us to revise our conception of the phase diagram of QCD.There are of course many unanswered questions:How does the chiral transition interplay with the quarkyonic transition?How is quarkyonic mat-ter related to Skyrmionic crystals?[7]What is the nature of the Fermi surface of quarkyonic matter?How is the liquid gas phase transition related to the quarkyonic phase transitions?These are of course many more.7Figure6:The phase diagram found by Fodor and

In thinking about what was possible from Geneva,where we are based, we decided on a trip to Istanbul a two-hour plane ride from Zurich.We envisioned the trip as a prelude to more exotic ones, perhaps to New Delhi or Bangkok later this year, but thought our 11- and 13-year-old needed a first step away from manicured boulevards and pristine monuments.What we didn’t foresee was the reaction of friends, who warned that we were putting our children “in danger",referring vaguely, and most incorrectly, to disease, terrorism or just the unknown. To help us get acquainted with the peculiarities of Istanbul and to give our children a chance to choose what they were particularly interested in seeing, we bought anexcellent guidebook and read it thoroughly before leaving. Friendly warnings didn’t change our planning:although we might have more prudently checked with the U.S. Department’s list of troublespots. We didn’t see a lot of children among the foreign visitors during our six-day stay in Istanbul, but we found the tourist areas quite safe, veryinteresting and varied enough even to suit our son, whose oft-repeated request is that we not see “every single” church and museum in a given city.Vaccinations werent needed for the city, but we were concerned about adapting to the water for a short stay. So we used bottled water for drinking and brushing our teeth, a precaution that may seem excessive, but we all stayed healthy.Taking the advice of a friend, we booked a hotel a 20-minute walk from most of Istanbul’s major tourist sites. This not only got us some morning exercise, strolling over the Karakoy Bridge, but took us past a colorful assortment of fishermen, vendors and shoe shiners. From a teenager and preteens view. Istanbul street life is fascinating since almost everything can be bought outdoors. They were at a good age to spend time wandering the labyrinth of the Spice Bazaar, where shops display mounds of pungent herbs in sacks. Doing this with younger children would be harder simply because the streets are so packed with people; it would be easy to get lost.For →our two←, whose buying experience consisted of department stores and shopping mall boutiques, it was amazing to discover that you could bargain over price and perhaps end up with two of something for the price of one. They also learned to figure out the relative value of the Turkish lira, not a small matter with its many zeros.Being exposed to Islam was an important part of our trip. Visiting the mosques, especially the enormous Blue Mosque, was our first glimpse into how this major religion is practiced. Our children’s curiosity already had been piqued by the five daily calls to prayer over loudspeakers in every comer of the city, and the scarves covering the heads of many women. Navigating meals can be troublesome with children, but a kebab, bought on the street or in restaurants, was unfailingly popular. Since we had decided this trip was not for gourmets, kebabs spared us th e agony of trying to find a restaurant each day that would suit the adults’ desire to try something new amid children’s insistence that the food be served immediately. Gradually, we branched out to try some other Turkish specialties. Although our son had studied Islam briefly, it is impossible to be prepared for every awkward question that might come up, such as during our visits to the Topkapi Sarayi, the Ottoman Sultans9 palace, no guides were available so it was do-it-yourself, using our guidebook, which cheated us of a lot of interesting history and anecdotes that a professional guide could provide. Next time, we resolved to make such arrangements in advance.On this trip, we wandered through the magnificent complex, with its imperial treasures, its courtyards and its harem. The last required a bit of explanation that we would have happily left to a learned third party.Whom does“our two”in PARAGRAPH 5 refer to? ______ .A. the coupleB. the kidsC. the gourmetsD. local-style markets8.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following statements is NOT a way of presenting new vocabulary?____.A. definingB. using real objectsC. writing a passage by using new wordsD. giving explanations9.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age, for the same age, for these children to develop to their full adult potential; their education must be adapted to those differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society5s understanding the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.“All men are created equal.” We’ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this countrys founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not —to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother.“But the desk.” she’d said again, “It's for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived on the surface”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer.None came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happene I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother.I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased thatwriting was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one—page letter, folded and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always choose the actthat speaks louder than words. The underlined word “gulf” in the passage means→ ←.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land3.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) 40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke-Mandeville, Englandin 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been askedby the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.

From those beginnings, things have developed fast Teams now come from abroadto Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Gamesfor the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, althoughthey are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small sourceof disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded. The first games for the disabled were held→ ←after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A. 40 yearsB. 21 yearsC. 10 yearsD. 9 years4.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) I’ve loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough tosee above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking atthe ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother.“But the desk.” she’d said again, “It's for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. Butas a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she livedon the surface”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.Iwrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer.None came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happene I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother.I only knew thatI had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one—page letter, folded and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always choose the act that speaks louder than words.

Materials used for one purpose cannot at the same time be used for other purposes, if the quantity of an input is limited, the increased use of it in one manufacturing process must cause it to become less available for other uses.The cost of a product in terms of money may not measure its true cost to society. The truecost of, say, the construction of a supersonic jet is the value of the schools and refrigerators that will never be built as a result. Every act of production uses up someof society's available resources; it means the foregoing of an opportunity to produce something else. In deciding how to use resources most effectively to satisfy the wants ofthe community, this opportunity cost must ultimately be taken into account.In a market economy the price of a good and the quantity supplied depend on the cost of makingit, and that cost, ultimately, is the cost of not making other goods. The market mechanism enforces this relationship. The cost of, say, a pair of shoes is the price of the leather,the labor, the fuel, and other elements used up in producing them. But the price of thesein- puts, in turn, depends on what they can produce elsewhere-if the leather can be usedto produce handbags that are valued highly by consumers, the prices of leather will be bidup correspondingly. W hat does this passage mainly discuss?→ ←A. The scarcity of manufactured goods.B. The value of scarce materials.C. The manufacturing of scarce goods.D. The cost of producing shoes.8.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Writing exercises like copying, fill-in, completions and transformation are mainly the type of exercises used in→ ←.A. controlled writingB. guided writingC. flee writingD. expressive writing9.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following consonants doesn't fall under the same category according to the voicing?________A.

No matter what objects they select, artists are to bringforth new forces and forms that cause change to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景)is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s, Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of thesame scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of lonelinessand the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings,there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highwayin the hack: ground. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photographyto help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom. Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw realityin brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and theCro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Manyand different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. Which of the following is the ma in topic of the passage?→ ←A. History of the arts.B. Basic questions of the arts.C. New developments in the arts.D.

They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding(追击)ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I readabout a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts." Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week, it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?→ ←A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.26.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) If a teacher attempts to implement the top-down model to teach listening, he is likely to present_____.A. new words after playing the tapeB. new words before playing the tapeC. background information after playing the tapeD. background information before playing the tape27.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurts and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly. Pruning should b e done to→ ←.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker28.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following statements about Audio-lingual Methodis wrong?→ ←A.

However, most zoos remain "collections" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range. The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A world-wide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by→←.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats32.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) When Thomas Butler stepped off a plane in April 2002 on his return to the United States from a trip to Tanzania, he set in motion a chain of events that now threatens to destroy his life. A microbiologist at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Butler was bringing back samples of the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis for his research. Yet on re-entering the country, he is alleged to have passed right by US customs inspectors without notifying them that he was carrying this potentially deadly cargo. That move and its consequences have led the federal government to prosecute Butler for a range of offences. If convicted on all counts, he could be fined millions of dollars and spend the rest of his life in jail.The US scientific community has leapt to butlers defense, arguing that his prosecution is over- zealous, alarming and unnecessary.

专业英语四级(阅读)模拟试卷111(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1. 2.SECTION AIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.The idea to remodel your bathroom can come as an idea to augment your house value or simply to make it into the haven you have always wanted. Whichever reason is yours, to make everything you do to implement your bathroom-remodeling ideas fully realizable, you should look to these inexpensive and easy-to-install ideas. When you remodel a bathroom, you can change aspects from lighting to fixtures. In the bathroom you want to have adequate lighting. Some ideas would be changing harsh lighting with staged lighting, or even lights at the vanity and near the bathtub. Changing lighting won’t break your budget, as a lot of fixtures can be inexpensive. You can also save money by doing it yourself. Yet, know when to hire outside help, such as a local remodeling contractor. You can check yellow pages, and online to find one near you. All you need to do is Google “local city remodeling”and see what comes up. When remodeling a bathroom you should always listen to the advice of your contractor on what type would be best suited for your project. You are paying a remodeling contractor to do the work, he/she should have the best knowledge of what will look the best with the decor and usage of such things as shower heads, faucets, lighting and other fixtures. Chances are he/she may also be able to get better quality and pricing on all fixtures especially if he/she is well established. Not to mention the contractor will also know what types will really increase the value of your home. Buy more tiles than you believe you will need in order to line the floor, if not the walls. It will be far more costly and time-consuming to locate tiles that even come close to a replica of yours if you search for them years after buying the initial batch. For the duration of your homeownership, you’ll probably require spare tiles if single ones are damaged. Also, excess tiles may be transformed into accent items for your bathroom, such as decorations by the light switches, bathroom tissue dispensers, mirrors, and even towel racks. Once a-gain, the local remodeling contractors are experienced and will attend to these pre-planning items for you. To gain more space in the bathroom replace your big vanity with a small pedestal sink. You can add more shelves in other parts of the room. A pedestal sink will take up less space and make your bathroom look bigger than before. Avoid filling up expanded space with items you will not use. Do you really need that many different shampoos? You should only need a small amount of space for these products like the top of the toilet or built in shelves. With the knowledge of various remodeling bathroom ideas from luxury developer Pendleton Homes out of Mclean Virginia you can re-exam your own ideas and learn how to create your own remodel bathroom ideas. Pendleton Homes has great advice to help you with remodel bathroom ideas, theseideas also include pictures in which you may want to mix up a couple to make it look as if you were the one who had the great remodel bathroom idea. Just learning a little might even make your new bathroom the envy of many and your sanctuary of pleasure. As you consider remodel bathroom ideas, make sure that the lighting is appropriate. If you’re thinking about upgrading your bathroom, something as simple as installing new steel fixtures, such as showerheads and faucets, can breathe new life into your old restroom. Start by finding a reliable agent, who will be able to assist you in completing the project.1.The author suggests that harsh lighting in the bathroom should be changed into ______.A.lights that are used for performanceB.lights whose brightness is adjustableC.lights that give off soft lightD.lights that are less expensive正确答案:B解析:本题考查对staged一词的理解的。

三年真题研读04(任务型阅读)一、真题解析2019The Cost of ThinkingDespite their many differences, all human beings share several defining characteristics. such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals. It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains. Mammals(哺乳动物)weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better. Unfortunately, that is not the case.The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumption of energy—on the body. I’s not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). It’s even harder to provides energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it consumes 25% of the body’s energy when the body is at rest. By comparison, the brains of apes(类人猿)require only 8%of rest-time energy. Early humans pad for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more time in search food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It’s hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to sur vive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩)can’t win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it’s easier to find food or enemies. In addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.【解题策略】先看表格了解文章的基本框架:第一部分(Introduction)对应于文章的第一段;第二部分(The (72) ▲of large human brains)对应于文章的第二、三两段;第三部分(The (74) ▲ofwalking upright)对应于文章第四、五两段。
2010年6月阅读Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 56 are based on the following passage.Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the dubious distinction by establishing paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn't surprised when this didn't make the news here in the United States—we're now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks' unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as "government-run personnel management" and a "dangerous precedent". In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have triedto introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. In her book No Exit: What Parents Owe Their Children and What Society Owes Parents, she argues that parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is "no exit" when it comes to children. "Society expects—and needs—parents to provide their children with continuity of care, meaning the intensive, intimate care that human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional and moral capabilities. And society expects—and needs—parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed."While most parents do this out of love, there are public penalties for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but essential for the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern children' welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing obligations society imposes. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue (不断积累) to the whole of society as today's children become tomorrow'sproductive citizenry (公民). In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money (including lost wages), is equal to 20-30% of gross domestic product. If these investments generate huge social benefits—as they clearly do—the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

She resists Spanish leather production.B. She disapproves of any leather alternatives.C. She is devoted to designing Piñatex garments.D. She has got inspiration from a Filipino tradition.14.What is the main idea of paragraph 3?______A. Advantages of Piñatex.B. Ways to treat Piñafelt.C. Purification of Piñatex.D. Process of making Piñafelt.15.How does the writer think about the future of Piñatex______A. Ambiguous.B. Promising.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.16.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?______A. Piñatex,From Rubbish to TreasureB. Piñatex,New Use of Vegan LeatherC. Piñatex,New Hope of the EarthD. Piñatex,Innovation to Rid RubbishDBlind people have long desired for brightness,but scientists don't have the technology.To bring that one step closer to reality,Zhiyong Fan,a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology,developed a new artificial eye recently.The device,which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper vision and a faster reaction time than a real eyeball,may outperform human eyes.The human eye owes its wide field of view and clear eyesight to the retina(视网膜)- an areaat the back of the eyeball covered in light-detecting cells.The design for a new artificial eye is based on the structure of the human eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive material.At the back of the eyeball,an artificial retina is lined with nanoscale light sensors(纳米级光感器).Those sensors measure light that passes through the lens(晶状体)at the front of the eye.Wires attached to the back of the retina send signals from those sensors to the processor,similar to the way nerve networks connect the eyeball to the brain."In the future,we can use this to replace damaged human eyes," says the lead designer.In theory,this artificial eye could see more clearly than the human eye,because the artificial retina contains about 460 million light sensors per square centimeter while a real retina has about 10 million light-detecting cells per square centimeter.Besides,the artificial eyeball records changes in lighting faster than human eyes can - within about 30 to 40 milliseconds,rather than 40 to 150 milliseconds.Although its 100-degree field of view isn't as broad as the 150 degrees a human eye can take in,the device can see as well as the human eye in poor light.Hongrui Jiang,an electrical engineer at the University of Wisconsin,though,thinks engineers need a much more practical and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back of the artificial eyeball to give it superhuman sight,which is super hard to achieve.17.Why does Zhiyong Fan develop the artificial eye______A. To replace people's real eyeballs.B. To gain a sharper vision.C. To help the blind regain their eyesight.D. To help normal eyes perform better.18.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?______A. The design of the artificial eye.B. The structure of the human eye.C. The advantages of the artificial eye.D. The material used for the artificial eye.19.What can we learn about the artificial eye and the human eye______A. They have the same structure.B. The artificial eye may see more clearly.C. The human eye sees better in weak light.D. The artificial eye takes in a broader view.20.Which word best describes Hongrui Jiang's attitude to the artificial eye?______A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Objective.D. Optimistic.三、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Society tells us that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.But it doesn't have to be that way.A new study published in Human Development points out that using a childlike approach to learning can help people of any age take on and rise to new challenges. (1)Venture(冒险)outside your comfort zone.As adults,we tend to use similar skills day in and day out:we take jobs in fields we're already good at,drive the same routes to the same places,and fall into routines we're comfortable with. (2) Switching to something more challenging may have more cognitive benefits.(3) A fear of making mistakes is another reason why adults are slow to learn new things;if we try but fail,we can face criticism,lose money,or get fired.That's why it's important to build up a support network of people at work and at home - who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.Make a serious commitment and don't give up. (4) If you can afford it,spending money on a new pursuit - for example,booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian - might also make it harder to throw in the towel.Learn more than one thing at once.We tend to zero in on one hobby or one skill.But dividing that time and energy into three or four areas will stretch your brain in all different directions. (5) Add singing lessons,and next year you try something else.You can add things gradually based on what you can handle.A.Turn to your friends and family.B.The following strategies will do the trick.C.Surround yourself with encouraging people.D.Telling friends about your new goal can help keep you motivated.E.But all this familiarity limits the parts of the brain we're using regularly.F.That doesn't mean you should start all the new challenges all at once,though.G.So feeling comfortable can reduce stress and make you happier and more productive.21.

Our increased understanding of string theory should make the attempt to discover a stringy representation of QCD easier,and the methods explored in matrix models might be employed to study the large N limit of QCD.For both political and intellectual reasons I fervently urge string theorists to try their hand at these tasks.2.QCD as a String TheoryIt is an old idea that QCD might be represented as a string the-ory.This notion dates back even before the development of QCD.In-deed,string theory itself was stumbled on in an attempt to guess sim-ple mathematical representations of strong interaction scattering ampli-tudes which embodied some of the features gleamed from the experi-ments of the1960’s.Many of the properties of hadrons are understand-able if we picture the hadrons as string-likeflux tubes.This picture is consistent with linear confinement,with the remarkably linear Regge trajectories and with the approximate duality of hadronic scattering amplitudes.Within QCD itself there is internal,theoretical support for this idea. First,the1N.This is the famous result of’t-Hooft’s analysis of the1N to pickout the topology,i.e.the genus=number of handles,of the surface,since a diagram which corresponds to a genus G Riemann surface is weighted by(1N is proportional to N2(reasonable since there are N2gluons,and is given by the planar graphs of the theory.Another bit of evidence comes from the strong coupling lattice for-mulation of the theory.The strong coupling expansion of the free energy can indeed be represented as a sum over surfaces[5].Again there is a natural large N expansion which picks out definite topologies for these surfaces.This result is an existence proof for a string formulation of QCD.However,the weights of the surfaces are extremely complicatedand it is not at all clear how to take the continuum limit.⋆From quite general considerations we expect that the large N limit of QCD is quite smooth,and should exhibit almost all of the qualitativefeatures of theory.Thus an expansion in powers of13)2mightbe quite good.The longstanding hope has been tofind an equivalent (dual)description of QCD as some kind of string theory,which would be useful in to calculate properties of the theory in the infrared.The problems with this approach are many.First,if QCD is de-scribable as a string theory it is not as simple a theory as that employed for critical strings.It appears to be easier to guess the string theory of everything than to guess the string theory of QCD.Most likely the weights of the surfaces that one would have to sum over will depend on the extrinsic geometry of the surface and not only its intrinsic ge-ometry.We know very little about such string theories.Also there are reasons to believe that a string formulation would require many(per-haps an infinite)new degrees of freedom in addition to the coordinates of the string.Finally,there is the important conceptual problem–how do strings manage to look like particles at short distances.The one thing we know for sure about QCD is that at large momentum transfer hadronic scattering amplitudes have canonical powerlike behavior in the momenta,up to calculable logarithmic corrections.String scattering,on the other hand,is remarkably soft.Critical string scattering amplitudes have,for large momentum transfer,Gaussian fall-off[3].How do QCD strings avoid this?†3.Two Dimensional QCDTwo dimensional QCD(QCD2)is the perfect testing ground for the idea that gauge theories can be equivalent to string theory.First,many features of the theory are stringier in two than in four dimensions.For example,linear confinement is a perturbative feature which is exact at all distances.Most important is that the theory is exactly solvable. This is essentially because in two dimensions gluons have no physical, propagating degrees of freedom,there being no transverse dimensions. In fact QCD2is the next best thing to a topologicalfield theory.The correlation functions in this theory will depend,as we shall see,only on the topology of the manifold on which formulate the theory and on its area.For this reason we will be able to solve the theory very easily and explicitly.Consider for example the expectation value of the Wilson loop for pure QCD2,Tr R P e C Aµdxµ,for any contour,C,which does not inter-sect itself.Choose an axial gauge,say A1=0,then the Lagrangian is quadratic,given by1To simplify matters I shall discard the quarks and consider the pure gauge theory.This would correspond to a theory of closed strings only, quarks are attached to the ends of open strings.We shall consider the partition function for a U(N)or SU(N)gauge theory,on an arbitrary Euclidean manifold M,Z M= [D Aµ]e−1g Tr FµνFµν.(3.2)One might think that in the absence of quarks the theory is totally trivial,since in two dimensions there are no physical gluon degrees of freedom.This is almost true,however the free energy of the gluons will depend non-trivially on the manifold on which they live.In fact,one cannot simply gauge the gluons away.If,for example,M contains a non-contractible loop C,then if Tr P e C Aµdxµ=1,one can not gauge Aµto zero along C.Thus,the partition function will be sensitive to the topology of M.Although non-trivial the theory is extremely simple,almost as sim-ple as a topological theory.It is easy to see that the partition function will only depend on the topology and on the area of the manifold M. This is because the theory is invariant under all area preserving diffeo-morphisms.To demonstrate this note that the two-dimensionalfield strength can be written as Fµν=ǫµνf,whereǫµνis the anti-symmetric tensor and f a scalarfield.Thus the action is S= Tr f2dµ,where dµ=√and the string tension with g2N,Nln Z [G,g 2A,N ] =Z String TargetSpace M [g st =1g,(3.5)where g is the determinant of the induced metricg =det[g αβ]=det[∂x µ∂ξβG µν(x )],(3.6)and G µν(x )is the metric on the manifold M .This string theory,when the target space is two-dimensional,is indeed invariant under area pre-serving diffeomorphisms of the target space.To see this note that √∂ξα|√∂x′ν|=1.⋆Unfortunately the only way we know to quan-tize this theory is to transform it into the Polyakov action,which upon quantization yields the standard non-critical string [10].This is not what we want to do here,since the resulting theory is not even Lorentz invariant.Is there another quantization of the Nambu string that differs from the Polyakov quantization in two-dimensions?The answer is not known.3.1.Evaluation of the Partition FunctionThe partition function for QCD2can easily be evaluated by means of the following idea,originally due to Migdal[11].The trick is to use a particular lattice regularization of the theory which is both exact and additive.For the lattice we take an arbitrary triangulation of the manifold and define the partition function asZ M= L dU L plaq.Z P[U P],(3.7)where U P= L∈plaq.U L,and Z P[U P]is some appropriate lattice ac-tion.Any action will do as long as it reduces in the continuum limit to the usual continuum action.Instead of the Wilson action,Z P(U)= e−1χa(XY),and obtain,d adU1Z P1(U2U3U1)Z P2(U†1U4U5)=Z P1+P2(U2U3U4U5).(3.9)This formula expresses the unitarity of the action,since in fact Z P(U)= U|e−g2A∆|1 ,where∆is the Laplacian on the group.We can use this remarkable property of the heat kernel action to argue that the lattice representation is exact and independent of the triangulation.This is because we can use(3.9)in reverse to add as many triangles as desired,thus going to the continuum limit.On the other hand we can use(3.9)to reduce the number of triangles to the bare minimum necessary to capture the topology of M G.A two-dimensional manifold of genus G can be described by a4G-gon with identified sides: a1b1a−11b−11...a G b G a−1G b−1G.The partition function can be written using this triangulation as,Z M G= R d R e−g2C2(R)A D U i D V iχR[U1V1U†1V†1...U G V G U†G V†G].(3.10) We can now evaluate the partition function using the orthogonality of the characters and the relation, D Uχa[AUBU†]=1C2(R),(3.11)Nwhereλ≡g2N is keptfixed.Thus we have an explicit expression for the partition function.It depends,as expected,only on the genus and the area of the manifold.3.2.The Large N expansionThe formula(3.11)for the partition function is quite complicated, being written as a sum over all representations of SU(N).The repre-sentations of SU(N)or U(N)are labeled by the Young diagrams,with m boxes of length n1≥n2≥n3≥...n m≥0.Such a representation has,C2(R)=Nmi=1n i+m i=1(n i+1−2i);d R=∆(h)Nand evaluate the sum.What do we expect if the string conjecture is correct?Consider the expansion in powers of1N2g−2f G g(λA).(3.13)If this were given by a sum over maps of a two-dimensional surface of genus g onto a two-dimensional surface of dimension G we would expect that f G g(λA)∼(1∂ξi],which differs from the Nambu area, d2ξ|det[∂xµf G g(λA)= n 0if(g−1)<n(G−1)e−nλAωn g(A)otherwise.(3.15)We can use these inequalities as tests of whether our conjecture is cor-rect.To do this we need to expand(3.11)in powers of1N C2(R)N→∞→ n R n d2R n e−nλA(1+...).(3.16)To evaluate this we need to evaluate the following sum, R n d2R n.This can be done using a method of discrete orthogonal polynomials[8],yield-ing,Rn d2Rn= N2+n−1n .(3.17)Then it follows that,Z G=0→exp[−N2 ln(1−e−λA)+2λAe−2λAZ G =1=R e −λAN 2∞n =1e −nλA [ab =na 2b +ab +cd =nac ]+...],(3.19)where η(x )= ∞n =1(1−x n )−1.This is totally consistent with the bound g ≥1.Most interesting is the case of G >1,where the inequalities arequite stringent.In this case one can easily derive [8],Z G → n(1d r2(G −1),(3.20)where the sum is over representations of the symmetric group S n and d ris the dimension of the r th representation of S n .Not only is this in totalaccord with our expectations,but one can also show that ωn g(A )=,for g =1+n (G −1),is precisely the number of topologically inequivalent maps on the genus g manifold onto the genus G manifold with winding number n [15].So the large N expansion of QCD 2looks precisely like what we would expect from string considerations.What remains to be understood are the all the rational numbers that appear as coefficients of the powers of e −λA and of 14.Induced QCD4.1.The Large N Limit of QCDQCD is hard to solve since it is a theory with no free,adjustable or small parameters.In pure QCD(no quarks)the only parameter we can adjust is the number of colors,N.Luckily,in the large N limit QCD simplifies enormously,and this limit remains the best hope to yield an exact or controllable treatment of the theory.We know that as N=∞only planar graphs survive.More generally we know that in terms of the appropriate variables the large N limit of gauge invariant observables is given,for N=∞by the masterfield,namely a solution of an appropriate classical equation of motion[16].The large N limit is in the nature of a semi-classical expansion,with N playing the role of Planck’s constant.Unlike the running coupling N does not vary with momentum and we expect the large N limit to be qualitatively correct for all momenta,to correctly capture the small distance asymptotic freedom of the theory as well as exhibit confinement at large distances. In the N=∞we should have an infinite spectrum of stable mesons and glueballs.Even baryons,bound states of N quarks,are describable, in this limit,as solitons of the effective Lagrangian for the masterfield [17].Thus the hope has survived that we couldfind an exact solution of QCD for N=∞,which would yield the hadronic spectrum,and would be the starting point for a systematic large N expansion which could allow us to calculate scattering amplitudes.The standard method of solving a theory in the large N limit is tofind an appropriate saddlepoint for the partition function.In the case of QCD this is difficult.Consider the standard(Wilson)lattice formulation of the theory,Z QCD= L D U L e− plaq.NAnother theory which is also insoluble in the large N limit is the non-critical string with c>1.Following the recent success of the matrix model solutions of string theory[18],we can construct such strings if we could deal with the large N limit of a scalar matrix model in D dimensions,say= i Dφi e−N i Tr U(φi)+N i,µ=1...D Tr(φiφi+µ),(4.2) Z stringDwhich describes a scalarfield on a D-dimensional lattice.The connec-tion with string theory is made in the usual way,the Feynman diagrams of the perturbative expansion of(4.2)correspond,in an expansion in powers of1Z adj QCD= L D U L i Dφi e−N i Tr U(φi)+N i,µ=1...D Tr(φi Uµφi+µU†µ) e−N.(4.5)∆(φ)∆(χ)This formula is very profound,underlies all the analysis of the c=1, matrix model,and can be derived in many ways.One is the demonstra-tion that the integral is given exactly by the WKB approximation,and the answer is simply the sum over the N!saddlepoints,for which are the U are permutation matrices.Although soluble this model appears to be very far from QCD,since asymptotic freedom instructs us to set the lattice coupling to zero,not infinity,in the continuum limit.However,Kazakov and Migdal argued that even though there is no kinetic term for the gaugefield,it could be induced at large distances[19].They argued that if one integrates out the scalar mesons(even in the case of noninteracting scalars with U(Φ)=1S eff(U)∼Nm2a2)Tr F2µν+finite as a→0.(4.6)This is simply the one loop vacuum graph for the scalars in a background gaugefield,which is logarithmically divergent in four dimension.Now this looks very much like the ordinary Yang-Mills action,1g2(a)=11NM2g a2),where M g is a mass scale for QCD,say the glueball mass.We can there-fore identify these two(the fact that there are N2scalars is crucial,as is the sign of the effective action which is due to the non-asymptoticfreedom of the scalars.)If we do so then wefind that,M2g=m2322. Thus in the continuum limit the adjoint scalars become infinitely mas-sive and decouple,but not before they have drive1m ,where1m>>a.The basic idea is that the infrared slavery of the scalars,at the size of the lattice spacing,produces an effective gauge theory at a larger scale (much larger than the inverse scalar mass),which then produces the usual asymptotically freefixed point theory.There are many problems with this idea.For one the hard gluons are not absent and their contribution will overwhelm that of the scalars at short distances.Their asymptotic freedom is more powerful than the infrared slavery of scalars.Another issue is that the above theory possesses a much larger symmetry than the SU(N)gauge symmetry of the usual lattice action.It is not difficult to see that,in D dimensions, it is invariant under(D−1)×(N−1)extra local U(1)-gauge symme-tries.This is because the transformation Uµ(x)→V†µ(x)Uµ(x)Vµ(x+µa), leaves the action invariant as long as Vµ(x)is a unitary matrix that com-mutes withΦ(x).If Vµ(x)were independent ofµthen this would be the ordinary gauge invariance.Thus we have D−1new gauge symmetries, which are of course isomorphic to the special unitary transformations that commute withΦ[21].Thus Vµ(x)=Dµ(x)Ω(x),whereΩ(x)is the unitary matrix that diagonalizesΦand Dµ(x)is diagonal.A subset of this symmetry is the,field independent,local Z N sym-metry,Uµ(x)→ZµUµ(x)Z†µ,where Zµis an element of the center of the group.This symmetry alone prevents the Wilson loop from acquiring an expectation value.A Wilson loop contains different links,and thusW(C)= L∈C U L → L Zµ W(C)⇒W(C)=0.This symme-try must be broken if we are to recover the QCDfixed point from this formulation[22].Finally,as we shall see,the simple Gaussian model is soluble and the answer is very simple and not equivalent to QCD[21].However, there are interesting attempts to save the model and furthermore even if it does not yield a solution of QCD it might provide some interesting soluble matrix models which could yield new solutions of new string theories.Induced QCD is a matrix model and thus it corresponds to some kind of sum over surfaces.If we look at the Itzykson-Zuber integral we note that it could be expressed as,I(φ,χ)=exp 1N2(Trφ2)2(Trχ2)2+... .(4.7)These terms will affect the structure of the large N expansion of the Feynman diagrams,and can be interpreted as yielding extra weights when the two-dimensional surfaces intersect[23].Thus this model corre-sponds,perhaps,to some kind of string theory with weights that depend on the extrinsic geometry.4.2.Solution of the Gaussian modelTo try to solve the model of induced QCD wefirst integrate out he U L’s,then look for extrema of the effective action,S[φi]=N2 1N2 i,µln I(φi,φi+µ)+1N N a=1δ(x−φa).Migdal has derived the masterfield equation for the saddlepoint,using the Schwinger-Dyson equations that are satisfied by I(φ,χ)[24].These are consequences of the fact that)k]I=tr(χ)k I.The net result is that one derives I satisfies tr[(1∂φan equation for the function F(z)≡ dzρ(ν)Re F(λ)=P dν2D U′(ν)−D−1λ−1D Re F(ν)−iπρ(ν)].(4.9)This equation is much more complicated than the usual Riemann-Hilbert problem that one obtains for simple matrix models.It is sufficiently non-linear and complex that one might imagine that it describes QCD.The masterfield equation simplifies dramatically for D=1.This is because in one dimension the gaugefield can be gauged away completely, thus the model is equivalent to a scalarfield on a one-dimensional lattice. The large N limit of this model describes the c=1string on a discrete target space,a model which has been solved in the double-scaling limit for small lattice spacing[25].It undergoes a phase transition at afinite lattice spacing and it might be very instructive to use(4.9)to explore this phenomenon.In particular for the quadratic potential the path integral is Gaus-sian,Z= n DΦn e−N n Tr{m2µ−µ2ν2NTr(Φ2) =1N Tr(Φ2),which is given by the oneloop integral,12π1√µ.(4.11)It is easy to verify that this solves(4.9),using the fact thatF(z)=µzµ2z22µν,(4.12)However,if we return to(3.8),we see that the integral involved is of the same form for any D,as long asℜV′(ν)is linear inν.This suggeststhat we canfind a solution of(4.9)with a semi-circular distribution of eigenvalues for a quadratic potential in any dimension[21].Indeed,one can see that a semi-circular distribution of eigenvalues satisfies(4.9)for any D as long as,µ±(D)=m2(D−1)±D 2D−1.(4.13)This solution is much too trivial to describe QCD.In particular,for D>1there is no sensible continuum limit of the model.Is the solution unique?To see that it is note that in the master field equation the dimension of space-time enters only via the number of nearest neighbors of a given site,the coordination number of the lattice.⋆The translationally invariant background scalarfield is the same for any lattice with the same coordination number.The observables,say the scalar propagator,will of course depend on the full structure of the lattice,but not he backgroundfield.Therefore we can choose another simpler lattice with the same coordination number,say a Bethe lattice, which contains no closed loops.For such a lattice,as in the case of the D=1model,the gaugefield can be eliminated completely,and the model is equivalent to,Z BetheLattice= Dφi e−N i Tr m22N Trφ2.Z(φ)satisfies the equation,Z(φ)= Dφ′Z(φ′)2D−1e−m22Trφ2,then(4.15)determinesαto equalα=−m2±√2(2D−1).Then(4.14)can be used to determine1m2+2αD,which agrees precisely with1⋆I thank C.Bachas for emphasizing this point to me.4.3.ProspectsThe simplest Gaussian model fails,but all hope is not lost.It is certainly possible to induce QCD if one introduces enoughflavors of matter.The problem is that one then loses solubility.It might be that the self interactions of the scalars could be adjusted to drive the theory towards the asymptotically freefixed point.This hope has been pursued with great vigor by Migdal,who has also considered adding fermions, not too many so that the model remains soluble,so as to break the Z N symmetry[26].Time will tell whether this will succeed.Even if it does not these model might yield a new class of interesting soluble matrix models which could teach us something about new classes of strings,perhaps strings that depend on extrinsic geometry.For this reason alone it is worth studying these models.REFERENCES1.G.’t Hooft,Nucl.Phys.B72,461(1974).2.D.Gross and E.Witten,Phys.Rev.D21,446(1980).3.D.Gross and P.Mende,4.J.Polchinski,Phys.Rev.Lett68,1267(1992);M.Green,QMW-91-24(1991)5.D.Weingarten,Phys.Lett.B90,285(1990);V.Kazakov andI.Kostov,Phys.Lett.B128,316(1983);I.Kostov Phys.Lett.B138,191(1984);Nucl.Phys.B179,283(1981);K.O’Brien and J.Zuber,Nucl.Phys.B253,621(1985)6.V.Kazakov and I.Kostov,Nucl.Phys.B220,167(1983);I.Kostov Nucl.Phys.Lett.B265,223(1986).7.C.Callan,N.Coote and D.Gross,8.D.Gross,to be published9.D.Gross and A.Polyakov,unpublished10.A.Polyakov,Nucl.Phys.B40,235(1982).11.A.Migdal,Zh.Eksp.Teor.Fiz.69,810(1975)(Sov.Phys.Jetp.42,413).12.B.Rusakov,Mod.Phys.Lett.A5,693(1990).13.E.Witten,Comm.Math.Phys,141,153(1991;D.Fine,Comm.Math.Phys.134,273(1990);M.Blau and G.Thompson, NIKHEF-H/91-09,MZ-TH/91-17.14.S.Novikov and A.Schwarz,private communication.15.D.Gross and W.Taylor,to be published16.L.Yaffe,Rev.Mod.Phys.54,407(1982).17.E.Witten,Nucl.Phys.B160,57(1979);V.Kazakov and A.Migdal,Phys.Lett.B103,214(1981).18.D.Gross and A.Migdal,Phys.Rev.Lett.,64,717(1990);M.Douglas and S.Shenker,Nucl.Phys.B335,635(1990);E.Br´e zin and V.Kazakov,Phys.Lett.236B,144(1990).19.V.Kazakov,and A.Migdal,PUPT-1322,May1992.20.Harish-Chandra,Amer.Jour.Math.79,87(1957);C.Itzyksonand J.Zuber,Jour.Math.Phys.21,411(1980);J.Duistermaat and G.Heckman,Invent.Math.69,259(1982).21.D.Gross,PUPT1335,(August1992).22.I.Kogan,G.Semenoffand N.Weiss,UBCTP92-022,June1992.23.S.Das,A.Dhar,A.Sengupta and S.Wadia,Mod.Phys.Lett.A5,1041(1990);G.Korchemsky,UPRF-92-334(1992).24.A.Migdal,Princeton preprint PUPT-1323,June1992.25.D.Gross and I.Klebanov,Nucl.Phys.B334,475(1990).26.A.Migdal,PUPT-1332,LPTENS-92/23,PUPT-1343;S.Khok-lachev and Yu.Makeenko,ITEP-YM-7-92(August1992);。
