潍坊市高三第一次模拟考试英语试卷(带解析)第I卷(选择题)请点击修改第I卷的文字说明评卷人得分一、阅读理解Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U S.The restaurants are not“fast food.”They are known as“fast casual.”Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat.This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled financially.In the last quarter of2014,McDonald’s net income dropped by about$300 million.The January earnings report brought more bad news.Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected.While McDonald’s is struggling to get their customers back,Shake Shack,is doing well in making money.The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO,or initial public offering,of shares at the end of January.On its first day of trading,Shake Shack went from$21a share to just under$46a share.Being part of the“fast casual”trend has helped Shake Shack.Other fast casual restaurants in the U.S.include Chipotle and Panera.Bonnie Riggs,a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’restaurant habits for almost 30years.She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’s new.It is creative,it is something different and people like to try new things.Her study shows Americans made61 billion visits to restaurants last year.Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants,like McDonald’s.Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits,but it has developed fast.Just as Ms.Riggs says,“It’s growing by________,because they meet consumers’needs.They know it's being prepared while they wait,it’s fresh,quality food,good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices.”Many Americans still like their fast food.They just are not going as often.They are finding other ways to have a meal.1.What is the trouble with McDonald’s?A.Its share goes down to$21.B.Shake Shack has taken its place.C.It’s not popular with Americans.D.Its sales and income have dropped.2.We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans____________.A.1ike to try something newB.care only about the qualityC.don’t like fast food any moreD.pay more restaurant visits to fast casual3.What does the underlined phrase“by leaps and bounds”in Paragraph3mean? A.Steadily.B.Rapidly.C.Slowly.D.Normally.4.Which of the following best describes fast casual?A.Fresh-made and tasty.B.High-quality and expensive.C.Farm-to-table and traditional.D.Time-consuming and special.For decades,the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technology industry.Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley.But the area has not always been associated with charity(慈善).Now,a new generation of entrepreneurs(企业家)appears to be changing Silicon Valley.One example is Marc Benioff,a donor(捐赠者),who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities.He also is the founder of Salesforce.com,a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children’s hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity.Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America.His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications.He says,traditionally,donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth.Usually donors are in their70s.But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than40years ofage.Benjamin Soskis says that is something new.“There’s a whole new model that’s appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.”Some of the young donors on this year's top50list have started to change in the way people see charity.That is especially the case in the San Francisco area,where giving money and making money appear to be coming together.“I think it's fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity.”5.What is true of Marc Benioff?A.He joined a non-profit organization.B.He advised donors to build hospitals.C.He made San Francisco a city of charity.D.He set up the company of Salesforce.com.6.What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley?A.They prefer to give rather than make money.B.They give after accumulating a lot of wealth.C.They are much younger than the usual donors.D.They donate more money to their communities.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The age of charityB.The changing faces of charityC.In search of new facesD.From computer base to charity centreCan you imagine a world without chocolate?It's not something I'd1ike to do.so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a program me to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading,in England,has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown.Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of4.4million tons last year but about30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that,do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since1985,after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew,London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project,Professor Paul Hadley,says,“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean,healthy,interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa centre has a collection of400plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine,clean and safe seeds are sent to some20countries,including several in West Africa.That’s where75%of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy:it employs about two million people.Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says,“there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly,particularly in countries like China,where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”8.What is the text mainly about?A.Safeguarding cocoa seeds.B.Planting cocoa worldwide.C.Keeping cocoa in greenhouse.D.Finding the new market for cocoa.9.The institution’s cocoa project is to_______.A.have cocoa skin removedB.offer more jobs to peopleC.ensure the quality of cocoaD.supply cocoa for two million people10.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.The taste of chocolates is changing.B.Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.C.People are concerned about cocoa varieties.D.Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.11.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To educate.B.To advertise.C.To warn.D.To inform.The poaching,or illegal killing,of rhinos(犀牛)in South Africa is growing worse each year.The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in2014,a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.The World Wildlife Fund,or WWF,says about20,000rhinos live in South Africa.That is more than80percent of the rhinos in the world.Edna Molewa,South Africa’s environmental issues minister,says,“During2014,we are sad to say this,1,215rhinos were killed.This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from1004in2013and indeed very worrying.”The animals are hunted for their horns(犀牛角).Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power,which drives poachers,at all costs,mad for more horns.But there is no scientific evidence for this belief.The horn is made of keratin.That is the same thing as human hair,fingernails and toenails.Ms.Mo1ewa said386suspected poachers were arrested last year,an increase from the year before.But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest.South Africa’s legal system is ineffective.Ms.Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos.The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries.“Now approximately100rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during2014and200more rhinos will be moved this year”Molewa said.Jo Shaw,the rhino program manager at the WWF,said,“we’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month.Or more than three a day.We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.”She says officials should find the criminal groupsresponsible for the poaching and punish them.Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.12.What do we know about rhinos?A.Half of the rhinos live in South Africa.B.Less than1,000rhinos were killed in2013.C.The killing reached the highest point in2014.D.There are only20,000rhinos left in the world.13.What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?A.To get more keratin.B.To protect the farmland.C.To use them for decoration.D.To make money from horns.14.Jo Shaw thinks that_________.A.many criminal groups are well organizedB.new laws are needed to punish the killersC.rhino protection needs international cooperationD.conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year15.What can we infer from the text?A.Rhino protection has a long way to go.B.No one would like to buy horns in the future.C.The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.D.Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries.评卷人得分二、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew, it was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I suddenly felt my wife’s hope was slim. I told her that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the comer of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (纹身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopp ing cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.24. How did the author feel when going into the store?A. The crowd was like small fish.B.

The best Christmas giftD. A strange gentlemanCAlthough Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating”. At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes,brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish (美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.28. What do many single people in Pairs complain about?A. The difficulty in finding a match.B. The idea of supermarket dating.C. The items on their grocery list.D. The inconvenience in shopping.29. Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?A. The dating supermarket is located in Paris.B. The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.C. Only single people can shop in the supermarket.D. The dating supermarket has very good business.30. How do love shoppers meet one another?A. They schedule their meeting in advance.B. They go through a special checkout.C. They pick out their groceries with great care.D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.31. Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?A. The supermarket dating is more convenient.B. The supermarket dating is more fun.C. The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.D. The supermarket dating is more economical.DThe World Health Organization (WHO) says the widespread use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major concern in many areas. So WHO officials are calling on governments to require taxes on sugary drinks. The officials believe the taxes also would reduce the risk of health problems resulting from obesity.Obesity is a condition in which the body stores large, unhealthy amounts of fat. A new report says that in 2014 more than one-third of the adults in the world were overweight, and 500 million were considered obese. The United Nations agency estimates that in 2015, 42 million children under age 5 were either overweight or obese. Almost half of these boys and girls live in Asia and one-fourth in Africa.The U.N. agency blames unhealthy diets for a rise in diabetes cases. There are more than 400 million cases of the disease worldwide. The WHO says 1.5 million people die from it every year. It says the use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major reason for the increase in rates of obesity and diabetes.Temo Waqanivalu is with the agency. He told VOA that taxing sugary drinks would reduce consumption and save lives. Wayanivalu noted that Mexico enacted a 10 percent tax on sugary drinks in 2014. He said by the end of the year, there was a 6 percent drop in the consumption of such drinks. Among poor people, the number of people who consumed sugary drinks dropped by 17 percent.The WHO says people should limit the amount of sugar they consume. It says they should keep their sugar intake to below 10 percent of their total energy needs, and reduce it to less than 5 percent for improved health.32. Why are taxes on sugary drinks required?A. To limit their use and popularity.B. To readjust the economic structure.C. To force people to change their lifestyle.D. To ensure the market’s diverse development.33. What do the figures in the second paragraph suggest?A. Adult obesity is ignored at present.B. Obesity is a severe worldwide problem.C. Obesity can block economic development.D. Obesity is most serious in developed countries.34. What does the underlined word “enacted” mean in the passage?A. AbolishB. PassC. PromiseD. Reduce35. What does the example of Mexico prove?A. Tax policies are unfair to the poor.B. Sugary drinks are a threat to health.C. The poor consume more sugary drinks.D. Taxing sugary drinks makes a difference.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Tourists take the lift at _______ to the top of the mountain on Christmas Day.A. 8 a.m.B. 4 p.m.C. 9 a.m.D. 10 p.m.BThe Garbage (垃圾)Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场), the places where cities bury (填埋)their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的)garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly(直接地)in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.34. The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in _______________.A. 1973B. 1970C. 1948D. 194035. To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except ____________.A. Wearing special clothesB. traveling to landfillsC. burying the garbage themselvesD. opening bags of garbage36.

From the article, we know old motor oil ____________.A. should go to regular landfillsB. isn't harmful garbageC. mustn't be poured on the groundD. never pollutes the environmentCIt's a hot time for Chinese language learning across the world, not only because of China's higher position in the world but also because of the increasing economic(经济的)and cultural connections between China and other countries.For example, the United Arab Emirates (UAE)(阿拉伯联合酋长国)plans to open Chinese language courses in 200 public primary and middle schools, so experienced Chinese teachers are needed.Other Chinese courses opened across the world show the increasing need for Chinesespeaking talent. Mandarin(普通话)became an elective(选修的)foreign language in Russia's college entrance exam. Following English, German, French, and Spanish, Mandarin has become the fifth elective test subject for the exam.Spain has more than 40,000 people learning Chinese. Last year about 8,000 people took the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK)exam. The number of people who took the test was the biggest, according to Xinhua News Agency.In the US, learning Chinese has been thriving for many years and is now a popular choice for American children, especially those who were born in good families. The children begin to learn Chinese at an early age because their parents believe that learning Chinese will help them build successful international careers(职业).38. Why is Chinese language learning so hot?A. Because many foreigners like China's culture.B. Because China has the highest position in the world.C. Because China helps a lot of countries to develop.D. Because China has more international influence around the world.39. The following languages are elective test subjects in Russia EXCEPT ________.A. FrenchB. SpanishC. JapaneseD. Mandarin40.

China's first homemade aircraft carrier(航空母舰)hit the water in Dalian, Liaoning.The new big ship is China's second aircraft carrier. It was designed in China and built in China, too. It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide. That is a bit larger than three soccer fields.An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea. It can carry planes and troops to war. Planes fly from the carrier and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it, too. But building an aircraft carrier is so hard and expensive. It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials. For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60,000 tons of steel. It also uses complex(复杂的)technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build one. Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one. China has become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself, after the USA, Russia, England, France, Italy and Spain.42. What's the best title of this passage?A.

AWhile traveling to a foreign land, or perhaps across the state, aren't you looking for something a little more adventurous, more luxurious ( 豪华) , and packed with facilities (设施) that you don't have at home?Tree Hotel, SwedenIt was perhaps everybody's childhood dream to be able to have their own tree house. Now you can sleep in a specifically made hotel suite built atop a tree in the Harads Municipality in Sweden. The most unique rooms are the Bird's Nest, a room exactly shaped like a bird nest; the Mirror Cube, a hide-out with reflective outside walls. The rate of each room starts from about $800 per night.The Manta Resort, TanzaniaThe Manta Resort in Tanzania is one of the world's only hotels with rooms placed below the surface of the ocean. By opening the curtains of your windows, you'll be able to see hundreds of fish swimming peacefully around your room. Want to go for a swim? Climb out of your room and jump in the clear waters! For only $250 a night, you, too, can sleep with the fishes.Book and Bed, JapanReading before sleeping is something that many people do. Book and Bed, a 30-room hotel in the heart of Tokyo takes advantage of this by conveniently placing a lot of books in shelves just an arm's reach away from your bed. The rooms at this hotel are small enough for a single adult. Reading yourself to sleep in one of their comfortable rooms will cost only about $40 a night, Tianzi Hotel, ChinaThe largest image hotel in the world is the Tianzi Hotel in Hebei Province, China. The hotel is a description of the three ancient Chinese gods of Fu, Lu, and Shou- the god of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, respectively. To enter it, simply open the door located in Shou's foot.The peach resting in the God of Longevity's left hand is a one-bedroom suite with a perfect view of the busy city.

D.It is named after a bird nest.22.What can we do in the Manta Resort?A.Live in the Bird's Nest. B.Swim in the ocean.C.Read before sleep. D.Enjoy the busy city.23.Which hotel most probably has the smallest room?A.Tree Hotel. B.The Manta Resort.C.Book and Bed. D.Tianzi Hotel.BLast month, my husband and I completed what some of our friends considered a foolish task: a 32-day, 5, 232-mile camping trip with children in our V olkswagen van, without ''high-tech'' to occupy the children.It was the screen less journey that showered me with doubts. But is ''boredom'' senseless? My friend Renee, who has driven cross-country with her three kids eight times, calls boredom the mother of creativity. She's not the only one who sees virtue in blank time. In a recently published paper, researchers at East Anglia University in England concluded that the trance like (发呆的) state helps recharge the mind and is ''central to learning and creativity''. I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter. Neither do I dislike high-tech. But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies (木讷的人) .On Day 1, our 7-year-old son announced ''Texas is so boring!''. The next day, struggling against his seat belt, he yelled he couldn't take much more of this. His 5-year-old sister was better at the long hours playing make-believe with the stuffed animals. On Day 3, he began+count mountains and see pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky. I often joined the kids in the back, where we did thumb-and-toe wrestle. With well-known mountains ahead, my husband told the children the past legends of them. ''Arizona is not as boring as Texas,'' our son declared.I hope the trip gave kids some lazy, unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the fastest way to burn it up. I don't always make the right call as a parent but I know that in banning the small screen we made the right choice this time.24.Why did the author choose a high-tech free journey?A.Her friends are highly against it.B.She disliked advanced technology.C.She feared the passive influence of mini-screens.D.The researchers proved the harm of modern technology.25.What happened during the cross-country drive?A.Their son got worse at boredom.B.Her kids had a tough time riding in the vehicle.C.Their son relieved himself by watching animals outside.D.The time spent without screens strengthened the family bond.26.The underlined part ''the fastest way'' in the last paragraph refers to______ .A.the speediest route to finish the journeyB.the ability to observe the surroundingsC.the interest of playing games with othersD.the choice of killing time by playing digital devices27.Which is the best title for the text?A.Is Driving Long Distances Good for Children?B.A Touching Cross-country Trip of My FamilyC.What's Wrong with Boredom without High-tech?D.Creative Kids out of Parents' Reasonable ChoiceCClothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers (零售商) are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shopper.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated (调查) this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented —receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.She writes, ''An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's.''Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene (氯乙烯), a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutant, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great either.Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply becauseit's so easily accessible. There's something called ''share washing'' that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as ''a way to share rides and limit car ownership.'' and yet ''it has been proven to discourage walking,bicycling, and public transportation use.''Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step — that's wearing what is already in the closet.28.What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental?A.Approving. B.Unfavorable. C.Objective. D.Enthusiastic.29.The Uber example in Paragraph 6 indicates that ________ .A.rental services are on the riseB.clothing rental will be as successful as UberC.renting clothes might waste more than expectedD.renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion30.The author suggests that we should ________ .A.give up renting any clothing B.purchase inexpensive clothesC.rent clothes rather than buy them D.make full use of clothes we've possessed31.What is the passage mainly about?A.Clothing rental is a new fashion.B.Clothing rental is retailers' preference.C.Renting clothes is not that eco-friendly.D.Renting-clothes business is in a dilemma.DLike infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are epidemic (传染的). But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones has been a mystery? Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate (模仿) how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics”than equally good ideas from less famous places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.“This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads,” says senior author Aaron Clauset.Not only is this unfair—“it reveals a big weakness in how we’re doing science,” says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon university, who was not involved in the study. “There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost,” DeDeo says. “Our science, our scholarships, is not as good because of this.”The Colorado researchers first looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new faculty member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time--and in 81 percent of those cases, transmissions took place from higher – to lower-prestige (声望) universities. Then the team simulated the spread of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “epidemic” depended on the prestige of the originating institution.The researchers’ model suggests that there “may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities.” Clauset says. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places. he says: “You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people d on’t know because they’re not even paying attention.”32.
