This comes as a big shock to me, especially since the paper says mostly sunny.W:

17、 Well, I guess the paper must have meant mostly sunny somewhere else. But since we’ve come out this way, why don’t we just move the blanket under that treeM: That’s a good idea. It looks like it’s still dry there, as long as it doesn’t start to come down any harder.W: Y

20、ought to be remembered that, as indisputably great a player as Wilt Chamberlain was, he often evoked a public awe closer to loathing than admiration. No one roots for Coliath, he lamented to his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Jerry West. The observation was both personally felt and generally interestin

21、g in what it says about the way people look at giants. Size(which matters)is an accident of biology, but we tend to treat it as an implicit assault on the averageness of the rest of us-a potential menace, an insulting excess-and there is a universal desire to see the big man fall.Chamberlain, who di

22、ed last week at the age of 63, not only dominated basketball, his presence clarified the character of the game. If sports were poems, baseball would be a sonnet, basketball free verse, the thing finds its form according to who is doing it. Chamberlain was responsible for major rule changes that alte

23、red basketball’s structure-all delimiting the ability of giants to operate in the sky over a 10-ft. -high basket. By his athleticism, he proved that basketball required the world’s best athletes, not simply the tallest. And, in a way, he also showed it to be a team sport, No matter how t

24、alented an individual is, no one player, including the divine Michael, can beat a well-coordinated group of five.Quantity defined his life and was its curse. His statistics, like his being seemed to have no relation to a terrestrial reality. On March 2, 1962, he set a National Basketball Association

25、 record by scoring 100 points in a game against the New York Knicks. He scored the most points in a season (4,029);had 50 or more points in a game 118 times; set the record for career rebounds (23,924), rebounds per game (22.9), average points in one season(50.4) . Other numbers recalled last week:

26、seven straight scoring titles and 11 rebound titles (in 14 seasons). To show how complete a player he was, his most remarkable stat may be that in 1968, he led the league in assists.Not once did he foul out of a game, which says something about the way he played and who he was. Chamberlain hardly ev

27、er got into a fight-partly because only the ostentatiously suicidal would start up with him, more because he seemed to appreciate the gentleness that his construction required. He picked opposing players off the floor when they tripped and fell. That weird shot of his-the monstrous and graceful Dipp

28、er Dunk-had the look of a man pouring lava from a vat into a teacup.The first paragraph points out that people().A. were in awe upon ChamberlainB. admired Chamberlain very muchC. often greatly disliked ChamberlainD. treated Chamberlain as an assault on us8.W: Prof Schneider, you and three colleagues

29、 just published new research in the Proceedings of the National (US) Academy of Sciences. Could you explain what this tells usM: Many current investigations into climate change rely on statistical or physical models-and all models rely on assumptions.We thought why not ask plants and animals directl

30、y if they have felt any climate changes lately We wanted to find out if nature had more credible answers than models alone the animals and plants in nature can give us independent evidence of human induced global warming.So we looked at more than 130 different plant and bird species in the northern

31、hemisphere-mainly in Northern America and Europe-to see how flowering and migration times have changed. And we compared our findings with a state-of-the-art climate model driven by natural forces like volcanic eruptions, human pressures like greenhouse gas emissions and the combination.Normally, suc

32、h model-driven results are compared to temperature measurements such as thermometers, weather balloons, and satellites-all of which have controversies attached as to their reliability. So we just jumped over the controversy by using plants and animals as surrogate thermometers to see if a clear sign

33、al emerged.W: And what was the resultM: First of all, you can today clearly see how much earlier plants flower in spring-in the thirty years from 1970 to 2000, flowering has moved to an earlier moment by almost ten days. The best fit with the species records came from the computer model driven by th

34、e combination of natural and human pressures. In fact the strongest single factor is human forces like greenhouse gases and industrial hazes.Secondly you can see that this is in accordance with the climate model that we used a standard model on which many climate scientists rely. So the research sho

35、ws once more that the general results of the model calculations actually are true-we can see the same basic things the model predicts going on in nature.What was the research about().A. Establishing physical modelsB. Establishing statistical models.C. Making assumptions about climate change.D. Findi

36、ng evidence in animal and plant species.9.People’s attitude toward drugs has become to resemble an emotional roller coaster, careening wildly from dizzy heights of pharmacologic faith to gloomy terror over drug hazards. A host of dreaded killers that had tyrannized the world for centuries can

37、now be cured. That is a cause for some to regard drugs as miraculous. On the other hand, there are hundreds of pitifully deformed babies born of mothers who had taken thalidomide - the very thought of them causes terror.What is the-sensible attitude toward drugsI think the first thing to think about

38、 is the differences between drugs and wonder drugs. The antibiotics, such as penicillin, can really cure certain bacterial diseases. On the other hand, the major diseases threatening Americans today are cancer, stroke, hypertension, coronary disease, arthritis and psychoses. Against them, the doctor

39、’s bag of tricks is limited. He has no wonder drug.Of course, many patients suffering from these illnesses can be improved by taking drugs and a few can be dramatically helped. But no drug has cured a single case of schizophrenia or rheumatoid arthritis, in the way that penicillin can cure pne

40、umonia or meningococcal meningitis.So the first important lesson is not to expect too much from drugs. Too many patients exert unholy pressures on doctors to prescribe for every symptom, even when such treatment is unwarranted or dangerous.Unfortunately, the medical profession is guilty of some comp

41、licity here The patient who demands a shot of penicillin for every sniffle and sneeze may be given the injection by a reluctant physician because he is certain that if he does not, the patient will search until he or she finds a doctor who will.More important, the physician is apt to be a willing co

42、llaborator in over-medication because he, too, has been oversold on drugs. He is rarely at a loss for a remedy that might be just what the patient needs. Doctors want their patients to get well. They also derive feelings of power and ego-satisfaction from the ability to pre- scribe the latest drugs.

43、At the other extreme is the patient who is suspicious of all medications. In the category are the patients who never take an aspirin tablet because they believe that every aspirin you take leaves a scar on the lining of your stomach.Without doubt, such ill-advised behavior is at times traceable to l

44、urid accounts of drug dangers. Not long ago, when one antidepressant drug was temporarily withdrawn from the market by the Food and Drug Administration, radio and television stations in New York carried stories about that. Patients were advised by commentators not to take any medication at all. The

45、resulting hysteria in hundreds of patients was as real as it was predictable.The author thinks that peoples attitude toward drugs resemble a roller coaster because both cases ().A. involve exciting experiencesB. contain extremitiesC. make people either dizzy or faithfulD. may result in danger10.Stat

46、istically, each of these new changes in law-enforcement has made some difference to the picture. Yet it seems probably that the factors that have really brought the crime rates down have little to do with policemen or politicians, and more to do with cycles that are beyond their control.The first of

47、 these is demographic. The fall in the crime rate has coincided with fall in the number of young men between the ages of 15 and 21, the peak age for criminal activity in any society, including America. In the same way, the rise in the crime rate that started in the early 1960s coincided with the tee

48、nage years of the baby-boomers. As the boomer generation matured, married, found jobs and shoulder mortgages, so the crime rate fell.This encouraging trend was quickly overshadowed, starting in the mid-1980s, by a new swarm of teenagers caught up in a new sort of depravity: the craze for crack cocaine. Crack brought with it much higher levels of violence and, in particular, soaring rates of handgun murders by people less than 25 years old. Yet the terror became too much, and the young began to leave crack alone. Within a few years, at least
