【正文】 bably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制藥的 ) pany before returning to university as a postdoctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities. Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (轉(zhuǎn)換 ) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “ Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.” 31. By “ a oneway street” in Paragraph One, the author means ________. A. university researchers know little about the mercial world B. there is little exchange between industry and academia C. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university D. few university professors are willing to do industrial research underlined word “ deterrent” most probably refers to something that ________. A. keeps someone from taking action B. helps to move the traffic C. attracts people’ s attention D. brings someone a financial burden 33. What was Helen Lee’ s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career? A. Flexible work hours. B. Her research interests. C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic acplishments. 34. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________. A. do financially more rewarding work B. raise his status in the academic world C. enrich his experience in medical research D. exploit better intellectual opportunities 35. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they e to teach in a university? A. Increase its graduates’ petitiveness in the job market. B. Develop its students’ potential in research. C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry. D. Gear its research towards practical applications. C The governmentrun mand post in Tunis is staffed around the clock by military personnel, meteorologists and civilians. On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy. What kind of invader gives rise to such highlevel monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗蟲 ). In recent months, billions of the 3inchlong winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A goodsize swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night. All ﹩ 150 million may be needed this year. The . has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩ million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemicalspraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locustkilling chemicals。 One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco． There I was walking home around one o’ clock in the morning after a 1 practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2 handling my parttime job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 3 both acting and San Francisco. I had 4 too much of city life. As I walked down the 5 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very s
