As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led of the world in the world in the mercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe puter and integrated circuit of the 1960s to the inter infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施 )and applications software of the link between universitybased science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed panies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the world ,governments have encouraged copying of his model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology panies have set up shop around the university. For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research university model. Most politician recognize the link between investment in science and national Economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2020,but has risen more slowly than inflations since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is wele, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of longterm GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year. American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreignlanguage study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11,changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to . Universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the U .K. Objections from Americans university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline ,but the United States is still seen by many as unweling to international students. Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s wellbeing through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American petitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that weling foreign students and like immigrants throughout historystrength the nation。 2020 年 12 月四級考試真題 Part Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes) 注意：此部分試題在答題卡 1 上。 Part Ⅱ Rading prehension (Skimming and scanning) (15minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passsage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.
