the report added In general black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis thail whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis the report said In describing cancer

GermanyGermany when it comes to translating basic research into industrial success few nations can match Germany Since the 1940s the nation s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science And though German prosperity 繁荣 has faltered 衰 退 over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline it still has an enviable 令人羡慕的 record for turning ideas into profit Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought after technologies But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer and technology parks are springing up all over These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start up companies Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success but 1t is not without its crities These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science eventually starving industry of flesh ideas If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur 企业家 the argument goes then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity driven free and widely available will suffer Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years While this debate continues new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany s research networks which bear famous names such as Helmholtz Max Planck and Leibniz Yet it is the fourth network the Fraunhofer Society that plays the greatest role in technology transfer Founded in 1949 the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe s largest organisation for applied technology and has 59 institutes employing 1 2 000 people It continues to grow Last year it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin Today there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia 41 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity A Technology transfer B Good management C Hard work D Fierce competition 42 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research A It is free B It is profit driven C It is widely available 7 D It is curiosity driven 43 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in A Asia B USA C Europe D Africa 44 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded A In 1940 B Last year C After the unification D In 1949 45 The word expertise in line 3 could be best replaced by A experts B scientists C scholars D special knowledge 第第 5 部分 补全短文部分 补全短文 第 46 50 题 每题 2 分 共 10 分 阅读下面的短文 文章中有 5 处空白

bird and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere off the coast of New Zealand In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there in 1977 there were fewer than ten Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin 47 The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home a reserve for threatened wild life including black robins The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked 重新准备 with the robin s food Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand Is all this concern a waste of human effort what is reasonable and what is unreasonable 48 Are we losing our sense of In the earth s long long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved risen to a degree of success and died out In the long long future there will be many new and different forms of life Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time 49 This is nature s proven method of operation The rule of selection the survival of the fittest is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene We being ode of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced may last longer than most SO You may take it as another rule that when at last human beings show signs of dying out no other creature will extend a paw 爪 to postpone our departure On the contrary we will be hurried out

outlast 比 长久 man for they seem even more adaptable B Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early 8 C Detailed studies are going on and a public appeal for money has been made D Both
