Text A

Professor Hawking thinks it important to keep everybody in touch with

what science is about. In this article he explains why.

霍金教授认为使每个人都了解科学是干什么的非常重要。在

这篇文章中，他对其中的缘由作了解释。

Public Attitudes Toward Science

Stephen Hawking

1 Whether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great

deal in the last hundred years, and it is likely to change even more in

the next hundred. Some people would like to stop these changes and go back

to what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history shows, the

past was not that wonderful. It was not so bad for a privileged minority,

though even they had to do without modern medicine, and childbirth was

highly risky for women. But for the vast majority of the population, life

was nasty, brutish, and short.

公众科学观

斯蒂芬·霍金

无论我们是否愿意，我们生活的世界在过去一百年间已经变化了许

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

The Leaning Tower of Pisa has defied (违背) the laws of gravity for seven and a half centuries. Every year, on June 19th, aprofessor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant with special instruments.And every year the professor makes the same report: the tower has leaned a fraction of an inch more. Last summer, the 125foot-high tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line. Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the tilt, the towerwill collapse in less than 80 years.
