Mad Scientist Stereotype OutdatedDo people still imagine a physicist as a bearded man in glasses or has the image of the madscientist changed? The Institute of Physics set out to find out whether the stereotype of a physics‘boffin’(科学家)still exists by conducting a survey on shoppers in London．The people wereasked to identify the physicist from a photograph of a line-up of possible suspects．98 percent ofthose asked got it wrong．The majority of people picked a white male of around 60，wearingglasses and with a white beard．While this stereotype may have been the image of all average physicist fifty years ago，thereality is now very different Since 1960 the number of young women entering physics hasdoubled and the average age of a physicist is now 31．The stereotype of the absent-minded scientist has lasted a long time because the media andHollywood help promote the image of men in white lab coats with glasses sitting by blackboardsfull of equations(等式)or working with fizzing(嘶嘶响)test tubes．These stereotypes are reallydamaging to society．Very good school children are put off studying science because they don‟tsee people like themselves on television or in magazines doing science．They simply don‟t relateto the media‟s image of the mad scientist．This is one reason why fewer young people are choosing to do science at university．If wewant to encourage more young people to study science subjects，we need to change this image ofthe scientist and make science careers more attractive．But we must also develop children‟sinterest in science．In an attempt to change this negative image，an increasing number of science festivals arebeing organized．Thousands of people from secondary schools are also encouraged to take part in the internationwide science competitions of which the most popular are the national science Olympiads．Winning national teams then get the opportunity to take part in the International Science Olympiads which are held in a different county every year．These events are all interesting for the young people who take part but they only involve a small proportion of students who are already interested in science．It seems that there is a long way to go before science becomes attractive as subjects like computer studies or fashion and design．16 Most people have similar ideas of what a physicist looks like．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 The majority of physicists in Britain today are Cambridge graduatesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 The media and the cinema have played a role in promoting the image of the mad scientist．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 There will be more women scientists than men scientists in the futureA RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 More children will study science if it becomes more attractive．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 The image of the mad scientist is really encouraging to society．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 The International Science Olympiads are held once every two years．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第2卜30题，每题1分，共8分)阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第1～4段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项，分别完成每个句子。
