sentences For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre Passage 1 In such a changing complex society formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated Many of life s problems which were solved by asking family members friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today In addition to this there is the growing mobility of people since World War II As families move away from their stable community their friends of many years their extended family relationships the informal flow of information is cut off and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off Thus things once learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned Adding to societal changes today is an enormous stockpile of information The individual now has more information available than any generation and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated time consuming and sometimes even overwhelming Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine readable files and to program computers to locate specific information Telecommunication developments enable the sending of messages via television radio and very shortly electronic mail to bombard people with multitudes of messages 第 6 页 共 15 页 昆明理工大学昆明理工大学 2009 年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题 Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence Expertise can be shared world wide through teleconferencing and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and or jobs to travel to a distant conference site Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information thus making more information available to more people In this world of change and complexity the need for information is of greatest importance Those people who have accurate reliable up to date information to solve the day to day problems the critical problems of their business social and family life will survive and succeed Knowledge is power may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people 51 The word it Line 3 Para 2 most probably refers to A the lack of stable communities B the breakdown of informal information channels C the increased mobility of families D the growing number of people moving from place to place 52 The main problem people may encounter today arises from the fact that A they have to learn new things consciously B they lack the confidence of securing reliable and trustworthy information C they have difficulty obtaining the needed information readily D they can hardly carry out casual communications with an extended family 53 From the passage we can infer that A electronic mail will soon play a dominant role in transmitting messages B it will become more difficult for people to keep secrets in an information era C people will spend less time holding meetings or conferences D events will be reported on the spot mainly through satellites 54 We can learn from the last paragraph that A it is necessary to obtain as much B people should make the best use of the information C we should realize the importance of accumulating information D it is of vital importance to acquire needed information efficiently 第 7 页 共 15 页 昆明理工大学昆明理工大学 2009 年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题 Passage 2 Discoveries in science and technology are thought by untaught minds to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents Sir Alexander Fleming did not as legend would have it look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error Innovation is like soccer even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach Everybody gets ideas but innovators work consciously on theirs and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions professional innovators see as solid possibilities Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there s no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done wrote Rudolph Flesch a language authority this accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient How come nobody thought of that before The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything Faced with getting from A to B the average person will automatically set out on the best known and apparently simplest route The innovator will search for alternate courses which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer 55 What does the author probably mean by untaught mind in the first paragraph A A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation B A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity C A person who has had no education D An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident 第 8 页 共 15 页 昆明理工大学昆明理工大学 2009 年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题 56 According to the author what distinguishes innovators from non innovators A The variety of ideas they have B The intelligence they possess C The way they deal with problems D The way they present their findings 57 The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because A Rudolph Flesch is the best known expert in the study of human creativity B the quotation strengthens the assertion that creative individuals look for new ways of doing things C the reader is familiar with Rudolph Flesch s point of view D the quotation adds a new idea to the information previously presented 58 The phrase march to a different drummer the last line of the passage suggests that highly creative individuals are A diligent in pursuing their goals B reluctant to follow common ways of doing things C devoted to the progress of science D concerned about the advance of society Passage 3 The extent of a nation s power over its coastal ecosystems and the natural resources in its coastal waters has been defined by two international law doctrines freedom of the Seas and adjacent state sovereignty Until the mid twentieth century most nations favored application of broad open seas freedoms and limited sovereign rights over coastal waters A nation had the right to include within its territorial dominion only a very narrow band of coastal waters generally extending three miles from the shoreline within which it had the authority but not the responsibility to regulate all activities But because this area of territorial dominion was so limited most nations did not establish rules for management or protection of their territorial waters Regardless of whether or not nations enforced regulations in their territorial waters large ocean areas remained free of controls or restrictions The citizens of all nations had the right to use these unrestricted ocean areas for any innocent purpose including navigation and fishing Except for controls over its own citizens no nation had the responsibility to control such activities in international waters And since there were few standards of conduct that applied on the open seas there were few jurisdictional conflicts between nations 第 9 页 共 15 页 昆明理工大学昆明理工大学 2009 年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题 The lack of standards is traceable to popular perceptions held before the middle of this century By and large marine pollution was not perceived as a significant problem in part because the adverse effect of coastal activities on ocean ecosystems was not widely recognized and pollution caused by human activities was generally believed to be limited to that caused by navigation Moreover the freedom to fish or overfish was an essential element of the traditional legal doctrine of freedom of the seas that no maritime country wished to see limited And finally the technology that later allowed exploitation of other ocean resources such as oil did not yet exist To date controlling pollution and regulating ocean resources have still not been comprehensively addressed by law but two recent developments may actually lead to future international rules providing for ecosystem management First the establishment of extensive fishery zones extending territorial authority as far as 200 miles out from a country s coast has provided the opportunity for nations individually to manage larger ecosystems This opportunity combined with national self interest in maintaining fish populations could lead nations to reevaluate policies for management of their fisheries and to address the problem of pollution in territorial waters Second the international community is beginning to understand the importance of preserving the resources and ecology of international waters and to show signs of accepting responsibility for doing so Thus it will become more likely that international standards and policies for broader regulation of human activities that affect ocean ecosystems will be adopted and implemented 59 The author suggests in the third paragraph that before the mid twentieth century most nations actions indicated that A managing ecosystems in either territorial or international waters was given low priority B unlimited resources in international waters resulted in little interest in territorial waters C a nation s authority over its citizenry ended at territorial lines D nations considered it their responsibility to protect territorial but not international waters 第 10 页 共 15 页 昆明理工大学昆明理工大学 2009 年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题年秋季入学博士研究生招生考试试题 60 Before the mid twentieth century nations failed to establish rules protecting their territorial waters because A the waters appeared to be unpolluted and to contain unlimited resources B the fishing industry would be adversely affected by such rules C the size of the area that would be subject to such rules was insignificant D the technology needed for pollution control and resource management did not exist 61 From the last paragraph we learn that the extension of fishery zones may be a good thing in that A individual nations may in time take on greater responsibility for ocean protection B fish populations within coastal waters will increase as a result C the international community will begin to formulate laws to regulate human activities there D individual nations will make fuller use of ocean resources to benefit themselves 62 The passage as a whole can best be described as A a chronology of the events that have led up to a present day crisis B a legal inquiry into the abuse of existing laws and the likelihood
