Unit 16 The Role of Science FictionThe year 1972 was marked by this publication of a controversial book. The Limits to Growth. This study of the world’s future, done by a team of MIT scientists with the aid of computer “models” of the future of our society, forecast a planetwide disaster unless humankind sharply limits its population growth and consumption of natural resources.1972年为世人所瞩目的一件事就是出版了一本颇有争议的书——《增长的极限》。
这一有关世界前景的研究，是由麻省理工学院一组科学家借助模拟未来社会的电脑“模型”进行的，预言了人类若不大幅度限制人口增长和自然资源消耗，就会出现全球性的灾难。
Most people were caught by surprise when the book came out. Many refused to believe that disaster is possible, probable, inevitable---if we don’t change our mode of running Spaceship Earth. But science fiction people were neither surprised nor outraged. The study was really old news to them. They’d been making their own “models” of tomorrow and testing them all their lives.该书问世时大多数人吃了一惊。

There were moments when I wondered: Did she do this _____ purpose, or was it all just a game?A. forB. byC. onD. withoutPart Two Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage OneIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a piece of candy. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torture. You can have this piece of candy right now, he says. But if you wait while I leave the room for a while, you can have two pieces of candy when I get back. And then he leaves.Some children grab for the treat the minute he's out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their hard-earned pieces of candy. And then, science waits for them to grow up.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey of the children's parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out for the second piece of candy generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible. They could not endure stress and shied away from challenges.When we think of brilliance we see Einstein, a thinking machine with skin and mismatched socks. High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to waken in some people and dim in others. This is where the candy comes in. It seems that the ability to delay reward is a master skill, a triumph of the logical brain over the irresponsible one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn't show up on an IQ test.For most of this century, scientists have worshiped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets. But brain theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: why some people just seem to have a gift for living well; why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest; why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others; why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. What qualities of the mind or spirit, in short, determine who succeeds?The phrase "emotional intelligence" was coined by researchers five years ago to describe qualities like understanding one's own feelings, sympathy for the feelings of others and "the regulation of emotion in a way that enhances living". This notion is about to bound into the national conversation, conveniently shortened to EQ, thanks to a new book, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Goleman has brought together a decade's worth of research into how the mind processes feelings. His goal, he announces on the cover, is to redefine what it means to be smart. His theory: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain capacity as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".And it is here the arguments will break out. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, they fear that a notion as handy as EQ invites misuse. "People have a variety of emotion," argues Harvard psychology professor Jerome Kagan. "Some people handle anger well but can't handle fear. Some people can't take joy. So each emotion has to be viewed differently." EQ is not the opposite of IQ. Some people are blessed with a lot of both, but some with little of either. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.Questions1-6Choose the correct letter, A,B,or CWrite your answers in boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet.1. Scientists can predict a four-year-old kid’s future by__A) rewarding him or her with additional pieces of candyB) watching how he or she deals with an immediate rewardC) inviting him or her into a plain room and torturing him or her gently2. In the experiment, some kids do all kinds of things like covering their eyes and singing to themselves in order to __A)resist an immediate rewardB) avoid falling asleepC)be praised by the researcher3.The experiment with the four-year-olds shows that__A) the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successB) emotional intelligence will not show up until one becomes a teenagerC) candy is useful in measuring a person’s emotional intelligence4.The phrase “emotional intelligence” was created__A) to provide a better understanding of the power of the brain, the mind and the heartB) to account for the special qualities the great people haveC) to describe qualities such as understanding and regulating one’s emotion5. According to Daniel Goleman, when we predict a person’s success,__A)brain capacity may be as important as the qualities of mind.B) brain capacity may be more important than the qualities of mindC) brain capacity may be less important than the qualities of mind6.Which of the following statements is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?A)EQ is not the opposite of IQB) people have discovered the way EQ and IQ work togetherC) the more EQ one has, the more IQ they have.Passage TwoIn the 19th century, an American academic, Newman, characterised a university as:"a place of teaching universal knowledge...(a place for) the diffusionand extension of knowledge rather than its advancement."Newman argued that if universities were not for teaching but rather for scientific discovery, thethey would not need students.Interestingly, during this century, while still teaching thousands of students each year, there sources of most universities have been steadily channelled away from teaching into research activities. Most recently, however, there have been strong moves in both North America and the United Kingdom to develop initiatives that would enhance the profile of the teaching institutions of higher education. In the near future, therefore, as well as the intrinsic rewards gained from working with students and the sense that they are contributing to their overall growth and development, there should soon be extrinsic rewards, in the form of job promotion, for those pursuing academic excellence in teaching in universities.In the future, there will be more focus in universities on the quality of their graduates and their progression rates. Current degree courses, whose assessment strategies require students to learn by rote and reiterate the course material, and which do not require the student to interact with the material, or constructa personal meaning about it or even to understand the discipline,are resulting in poor learning outcomes. This traditional teaching approach does not take into account modern theories of education, the individual needs of the learner, nor his or her prior learning experience.In order for universities to raise both the quality and status of teaching, it is first necessary to have some kind of understanding of what constitutes good practice. A 1995 report, compiled in Australia, lists eight qualities that researchers agree are essential to good teaching.Good teachers...A are themselves good learners - resulting in teaching that is dynamic, reflective andconstantly evolving as they learn more and more about teaching;B display enthusiasm for their subject and the desire to share it with their students;C recognise the importance of context and adjust their teaching accordingly;D encourage deep learning approaches and are concerned with developing their students' critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills and problem-approach behaviours;E demonstrate an ability to transform and extend knowledge, rather than merelytransmit it;F recognise individual differences in their students and take advantage of these;G set clear goals, use valid assessment techniques and provide high-quality feedback to their students;H show respect for, and interest in, their students and sustain high expectations of them.In addition to aiming to engage students in the learning process, there is also a need toad dress the changing needs of the marketplace. Because in many academic disciplines the body of relevant knowledge is growing at an exponential rate, it is no longer possible, or even desirable, for an individual to have a complete knowledge base. Rather, it is preferable that he or she should have an understanding of the concepts and the principles of the subject, have the ability to apply this understanding to new situations and have the wherewithal to seek out the information that is needed.As the world continues to increase in complexity, university graduates will need to be equipped to cope with rapid changes in technology and to enter careers that may not yet be envisaged, with change of profession being commonplace. To produce graduates equipped for this workforce, it is essential that educators teach in ways that encourage learners to engage in deep learning which may be built upon in the later years of their course, and also be transferred to the workplace. The new role of the university teacher, then, is one that focuses on the students' learning rather than the instructor's teaching. The syllabus is more likely to move from being a set of learning materials made up of lecture notes, to a set of learning materials made up of print,cassettes, disks and computer programs. Class contact hours will cease to be the major determinant of an academic workload. The teacher will then be released from being the sole source of information transmission and will become instead more a learning manager, able to pay more attention to the development and delivery of education rather than content. Student-centred learning activities will also require innovative assessment strategies.Traditional assessment and reporting has aimed to produce a single mark or grade for each student. The mark is intended to indicate three things: the extent to which the learned material was mastered or understood; the level at which certain skills were performed and the degree to which certain attitudes were displayed.A deep learning approach would test a student's ability to identify and tackle new and unfamiliar 'real world' problems. A major assessment goal will be to increase the size and complexity of assignments and minimise what can be achieved by memorising or reproducing content. Wherever possible, students will be involved in the assessment process to assist them to learn how to make judgements about themselves and their workQuestions 7-11Look at the eight qualities A-H of 'good teachers' in Reading Passage 2 and the statementsbelow (Questions 7-11).Match each quality to the statement with the same meaning.Write the correct letter A-H in boxes 19-23 on your answer sheet.Good teachers7 can adapt their materials to different learning situations.8 assist students to understand the aims of the course.9 are interested in developing the students as learners.10 treat their students with dignity and concern.11 continually improve their teaching by monitoring their skillsQuestions12-15Choose the correct letter, A,B,C or DWrite your answers in boxes 12-15on your answer sheet.12 In the future, university courses will focus more onA) developing students’ skills and concepts.B) expanding students' knowledge.C) providing work experience for students.D)graduating larger numbers of students.13 According to the author, university courses should prepare students toA) do a specific job well.B) enter traditional professions.C) change jobs easily.D) create their own jobs.14 The author believes that new learning materials in universities will result inA) more work for teachers.B) a new role for teachers.C) more expensive courses.D) more choices for students.15 The author predicts that university assessment techniques will include moreA) in-class group assignments.B) theoretical exams.C) problem-solving activities.D) student seminar presentations.Part Three Cloze (15%)Although video games were first_1_for adults, they are no_2_exclusively reserved fro the grown _3_in the home.

If a British company wishes to stay ahead in international trade, doing businesses with China is now on rig top of the list. Now schools in the United Kingdom want to offer their students Mandarin lessons —and they are making it a required course. Brighton College is a private school on the south coast of Britain and already teaches Latin, Spanish and French to its 1,200 pupils. Students can choose among these languages, but from the autumn, which is the beginning of the new school year in British schools, every student must study Mandarin whether they like it or not. Richard Cairns, headmaster of Brighton College, will begin Mandarin classes in September —as a pupil in an ordinary class of students.

The whole time he was dying from a genetic disease that had already killed all his brothers. He had lived a good deal longer than many other people with his disease and I was lucky to know him, even if it was only for the last nine months of his life. I don’t believe Bill ever ended a conversation with me without thanking me for publishing his book.About two weeks before he died, Bill called me and spent a whole hour telling me how blessed his life had been. He told me how grateful he was for everything he had been given. He told me about how much he valued his wife and all the people he had met, how thankful he was for seeing his book in print before he died, and much more.Thankfulness is not something that can be faked very successfully. When I made a major move across the country some years ago I often fell lonely and homesick. So I took a few moments each evening to recall the past. I didn’t make anything up, and didn’t offer thanks for things I wasn’t grateful for. It was hard to do at first, and it didn’t decrease my sadness right away. My sadness was the stronger feeling and controlled more of my attention than joy did. But over time it helped me shift my focus to the gifts of my new life, instead of the losses from my old one.6.

So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don’t break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal。
