9、ctions: Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.(15%)36.Related to this issue is that of inequalities of impact of the Green Revolution on various social groups. Quite apart from the advantages of scale, e. g. in the use of ground water for irrigation, large farmers inevitably had better acce
10、ss to information, credit and influence than did small farmers and they profited more from the new agricultural techniques, partly by adopting them earlier. However, adoption by small farmers eventually became widespread. The urban poor gained from the lower prices and greater supplies of food but t
11、he rural poor, especially the landless, have sometimes been disadvantaged. However, new agricultural technology should not be expected to stand proxy for social reform, and Lipton concludes that the technology per se (本身) was not to blame for the inequalities of impact; it met the criteria he would
12、have specified for a technology to help the rural poor. As Frankel commented: “It is precisely the social blindness of modern technology that is encouraging the most disadvantaged sections of the agricultural community.”PART C: READINGCOMPREHENSION. Directions: Read through the following passages. C
13、hoose the best answer and put the letter in the bracket.(20%)(A)No layman, it is probably safe to assume, really understands Einsteins theory of general relativity. Yet it is somewhat unnerving, to say the least, when somebody like MITs Victor Weisskopf, a National Medal of Science winner, claims no
14、t to understand it either. “Its like the peasant who asks the engineer how the steam engine works,” Weisskopf says. “The engineer explains exactly how the steam moves through the engine, how all the parts move, and so on. And when hes finished, the peasant says, Yes, I understand all that. But where
15、 is the horse? Thats how I feel about general relativity. I know how it works in great detail, but I dont understand where the horse is.”Knowledge is not the same as understanding, of course. Doctors know how to treat what ails the human body, but rarely do they understand in detail how or why their
16、 treatments work. Many people know a great deal about quarks and quasars, dinosaurs and jumping genes without claiming to understand them in the least.Even Isaac Newton admitted that he never understood gravity-something that later earned him Einsteins greatest respect. Newton wrote: “It is inconcei
17、vable that inanimate brute matter should, without the mediation of something else which is not material, operate upon and affect other matter without mutual contact. That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance is to me so grea
18、t an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it.”Newton was the first to see that the fall of the apple and the orbit of the moon were propelled by the same force: gravity. Both to him and G.W. Leibniz are attributed the dev
19、elopment of differential calculus. To Newton calculus provided a way to predict the pull of the force of gravity at various distances from the Earths center. Newton knew precisely how gravity behaved; he just did not understand how it worked. But if Newton did not understand gravity, who did? What d
20、oes understanding mean, anyway? It turns out that there is no single answer to that question.In the first place, understanding means literally coming to terms. Confucius said, “The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their right names.”Yet names alone are hardly enough. As Paul Hewitt, author o
21、f the popular college text Conceptual Physics, tells his students, “We understand many things, and we have names and labels for these things. And there are many things that we do not understand, and we have names and labels for these things also.” It is easy to answer the question “Why do things fal
22、l toward the earth?” by giving the phenomenon a name, like gravity, or even cured space. Whether or not this suffices for understanding depends entirely on how well you understand what the name represents 37.The main purpose of the passage is to _.( )A. illustrate the fact that few people really und
23、erstand Einsteins theory of general relativityB. explain that true understanding is rarely acquiredC. argue for the essence of understandingD. discuss the incompleteness of scientific understanding38.In telling the story about the peasant, Victor Weisskopf was _.( )A. ridiculing the peasantB. ridicu
