During this procedure a panel of experts, or referees, 2 the paper, judging whether or not the research has been carried 3 in a fully scientific manner. If the referees are satisfied, publication 4 . If they have 5 , some of the research may have to be repeated, but if they 6 serious flaws, the entire paper may be rejected for publication.The peer-review process plays a critical role because it 7 high standards of scientific method. 8 , it can be a controversial area, as it allows 9 views to become involved. Because scientists are human, they cannot avoid 10 personal opinions about the value of each other’s work. Furthermore, because referees 11 to be senior figures, they may be less than welcoming to new or unorthodox ideas.Once a paper has been accepted and published, it becomes part of the vast and 12 body of scientific knowledge. In the early days of science, new research was always published in printed form, but today scientific information spreads by many different 13 . Most major journals are now available via the Internet, which makes them quickly 14 to scientists all over the world.When new research is published, it often acts as a springboard for further work. Its impact can then be 15 by seeing how 16 the published research appears as a cited work. Major scientific breakthroughs are cited thousands of times a year, but at the other 17 , obscure pieces of research may be cited 18 or not at all. However, citation is not always a 19 guide to the value of scientific work. Sometimes a piece of research will go largely 20 , only to be rediscovered in subsequent years.1.

According to a 2011 survey, almost half of all American workers are either 1 prohibited or strongly discouraged by their employers from discussing their pay with coworkers.2 when it’s not against the rules, experts warn3 bringing up the pay scale with people in your office. For one, says career coach Carin Rockind, “if management ever found out, it makes you look4 and could backfire.”Rockind emphasizes that these 5 usually lead to disappointment and lower job satisfaction. A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research reached the same 6 The researchers gave a random set of University of California employees 7 to a website that 8 University workers’ salary information. 9 workers who discovered that they made less than average 10 reported lower job satisfaction, there was no 11 increase in reported satisfaction among those who found out that their earnings were above average.Pamela Teagarden, an expert in corporate behavioral psychology, says that salary comparison conversations often 12 because most workplaces 13 in what is known as a “Prisoner’s Dilemma.” 14 cooperating, colleagues are forced to compare and compete because everyone is trying for the next promotion, for the 15 .” Comparing salaries only 16 that dynamic, 17 a team’s ability to work together toward a common goal. To avoid this problem, Teagarden recommends that companies 18 other, non-monetary, “extrinsic motivators,” like encouraging friendship among coworkers and valuing employees’ opinions.Rockind also emphasizes this non-monetary 19 . “There’s a 20 in our society that money leads to happiness,” Rockind says. “But it’s actually the other way around: It’s not that money leads to happiness; it’s that happy people make more money.”1.

On March 16th the Obama administration announced that it 1 to work with Congress to produce “a privacy bill of rights” giving American consumers greater 2 over how their information is collected and used by digital marketers. The bill will seek to 3 the basic principles of Internet privacy rights, 4 following recommendations published by the Department of Commerce. The department’s report said consumers should be told more about why data are being collected about them and how they are used; and it called for stricter 5 on what companies can do with information they collect.Whatever legislation finally emerges is likely to give a broader 6 to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which will almost certainly be 7 with deciding how those principles are 8 into practice and with policing their implementation. Among other things, the FTC is known to be 9 on a formal “do not track” system, which would allow users to 10 certain sites from monitoring their online activities.11 all this may decrease their revenues, America’s Internet giants could also benefit from the legislation if it helps them in their 12 with the European Union.

Motoring organizations warned that the 1 could become a poll tax on wheels’, 2 huge number of drivers. There could be many more incidents of deliberate damaging 3 cameras. The warnings came 4 a Daily Mail survey found almost all the 23 police forces in England and Wales were either 5 to expansion plans or considering 6 .Nationwide, the number of speeding tickets is expected to increase threefold, 7 90 million a year. 8 the scheme, police keep some of the cash from fines to 9 the costs of fitting and maintaining extra cameras and 10 that existing ones always have film in them. The rest will go to the Treasury. Both Ministers and police insist the scheme is aimed 11 at making roads safer. They point to trials in eight areas which cut collisions by a quarter and deaths and serious injuries by 12 a half.But motoring organizations 13 cameras will be sited on relatively safe but fast stretches to catch as many drivers as possible. Some forces are also expected to 14 the “threshold” speeds at which cameras are 15 to the absolute legal minimum—15 mph in a 10 mph limit, and 26 mph in a 20 mph zone. This could encourage drivers to stare at their speedometers instead of concentrating on the road, and 16 to more accidents. Sue Nicholson, h ead of campaigns at the RAC, said, “We don’t have a problem with speed cameras 17 . But we do have concerns about 18 they are sited.

But is there science to 1 this idea?A short paper published in Nature in 1993 unwittingly introduced the 2 Mozart effect to the masses. Psychologist Frances Rauscher’s study involved 36 college kids who listened to either 10 minutes of a Mozart sonata in D-major, a relaxation track or 3 before performing several spatial reasoning tasks. It found that students who had listened to Mozart seemed to 4 significant improvement in their performance.5 in 1999 psychologist Christopher Chabris performed a meta-analysis on studies6 to the Mozart effect to survey its overall7 . He8 that the improvement could simply be a result of the natural variability a person experiences between two test sittings.Earlier this year, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany published a second review study 9 a cross-disciplinary team of 10 inclined scientists who declared the phenomenon 11 . “I would simply say that there is no 12 evidence that children who listen to classical music are going to have 13 improvement in cognitive abilities,” adds Rauscher.14 its rejection by the scientific community, companies continue to 15 classical music to parents of children who can purportedly listen their way to greater smarts.Chabris says the real danger isn’t in this 16 marketing, but in parents shirking roles they are evolutionarily meant to 17 . It takes away from other kinds of 18 that might be beneficial for children, such as playing with them and keeping them 19 via social activity. That is the 20 to a truly intelligent child, not the symphonies of a long-dead Austrian composer.1. [A] put up [B] take up [C] back up [D] make up2.

Now the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is planning to make the 1 a bit easier, by producing the first international 2 of how successfully universities teach.“ 3 assuming that because a university spends more it must be better, or using other proxy measures for 4 , we will look at learning outcomes,” explains Andreas Schleicher, the OECD’s head of education research. Just as the OECD 5 primary and secondary education by testing 6 chosen groups of youngsters from each country in reading and mathematics, it will 7 university students to see what they have learned. 8 enough universities are taking part, it may publish league tables showing where each country 9 , just as it now does for compulsory education.The OECD plan 10 approval from an education ministers’ meeting in January. The first 11 are planned by 2010. They will be of interest not just as a guide for shoppers in the global market, but also as 12 of performance in domestic markets. They will help academics wondering whether to stay put or switch jobs, students 13 where to spend their time and money, and 14 university bosses who want a sharper competitive 15 for their institution.The task the OECD has set itself is 16 . In many subjects, such as literature and history, the syllabus 17 hugely from one country, and 18 one campus, to another. But OECD researchers think that problem can be 19 by concentrating on the transferable skills that employers 20 , such as critical thinking and analysis, and testing subject knowledge only in fields like economics and engineering, with a big common core.1.

We have a “common law,” or law made by courts 1 a monarch or other central governmental 2 like a legislature. The jury, a 3 of ordinary citizens chosen to decide a case, is an 4 part of our common-law system.Use of juries to decide cases is a 5 feature of the American legal system. Few other countries in the world use juries as we do in the United States. 6 the centuries, many people have believed that juries in most cases reach a fairer and more just result 7 would be obtained using a judge 8 , as many countries do. 9 a jury decides cases after “ 10 or discussions among a group of people, the jury’s decision is likely to have the 11 from many different people from different backgrounds, who must as a group decide what is right.Juries are used in both civil cases, which decide 12 among 13 citizens, and criminal cases, which decide cases brought by the government 14 that individuals have committed crimes. Juries are selected from the U.S. citizens and 15 . Jurors, consisting of 16 numbers, are called for each case requiring a jury.The judge 17 to the case oversees the 18 of jurors to serve as the jury for that case. In some states, 19 jurors are questioned by the judge; in others, they are questioned by the lawyers representing the parties under rules 20 by state law.1.

The information from this testing can serve many valuable 1 : It can save lives, assist couples trying to decide whether or not to have children, and help law-enforcement officials solve a crime. 2 breakthroughs in genetic testing also 3 some troubling social concerns about privacy and discrimination. 4 , if an individual’s gene tic information becomes widely 5 , it could give health insurers cause to deny coverage to people with certain risk factors or encourage employers to reject certain high-risk job applicants. Furthermore, many genetically 6 problems are more common among certain racial and ethnic groups. Many minority groups fear that the 7 of genetic testing could create whole new 8 of discrimination.Of particular concern are genetic tests that 9 light on traits such as personality, intelligence, and mental health or potential abilities. Genetic tests that 10 a person is unlikely to get along with other people could be used to limit a person’s professional advancement. In other cases, tests that 11 a genetic risk of heart failure could discourage a person 12 competing in sports.New technologies that 13 the manipulation of genes have raised even more disturbing possibilities. Gene therapy advances, which allow scientists to replace 14 genes with normal alleles, give people with typically fatal diseases new hope for healthy lives. 15 , gene therapy has focused on manipulating the genetic material in body cells 16 gametes (the cells involved in reproduction), so the changes will not be 17 to future generations. However, the application of gene therapy techniques to gametes seems 18 . Such manipulation might help prevent the 19 of disease from one generation to another, but it could also 20 unforeseen problems with long-lasting consequences.1.

It is the phenomenon whereby we 1 that because people are good at doing A they will be good at doing B, C and D (or the 2 —because they are bad at doing A they will be bad at doing B, C and D). The phrase was first 3 by Edward Thorndike, a psychologist who used it in a study to describe the way that commanding officers 4 their soldiers. He found that officers usually judged their men as being either good right across the 5 or bad. There was little 6 of traits; few people were said to be good in one 7 but bad in another.Later work on the halo effect suggested that it was highly influenced by first impressions. If we see a person first in a good light, it is difficult 8 to darken that light. The old well-known 9 that “first impressions count” seems to be true. This is used by advertisers who pay heroic actors and beautiful actresses to 10 products about which they have absolutely no 11 . We think 12 about the actor because he played a hero, or the actress because she was made up to look incredibly beautiful, and assume that they 13 have deep knowledge about car engines or anti-wrinkle cream.In the 14 of recruitment, top-level people often fall into the 15 of making decisions about candidates based on lopsided or distorted information.

Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War 2,at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornamentto the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days,it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the eventsthey covered. Theirs was a serous business. and even those reviews who wore theirlearning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted toknow what they were aout. These men believed in journalism as a calling , and wereproud to be published in the daily press. 'So few authors have brains enough orliterary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,' Newman wrote, "that Iam tempted to define "journalism"as "a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are".'Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodernreaders have little use for the richly uphostered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.21. It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 thatA arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.B English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.C high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.D young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.22. Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized byA free themes.B casual style.C elaborate layout.D radical viewpoints.23. Which of the following would shaw and Newman most probably agree on?A It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals.B It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.C Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.D Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.24. What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs?A His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.B His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.C His style caters largely to modern specialists.D His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.25. What would be the best title for the text?A Newspapers of the Good Old DaysB The Lost Horizon in NewspapersC Mournful Decline of JournalismD Prominent Critics in MemoryText 2Over the past decade, thousands of patents have seen granted for what are called business methods.Amazon com received one for its“one-click”online payment system Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy.One inventor patented a technique for lying a box。

This is “digital” 5 of a digital option: i.e., it pays out only if an underlying index lies in a narrow, discrete range. In effect, Longitude has created a horse race, where each “horse” wins if and 6 the specified index falls in a specified range. By creating horses for every possibl 7 of the index, and allowing people to bet 8 any number ofrunners, the company has produced a liquid integrated electronic market for a wide array options on economic indices.Ten years ago it was 9 impossible to make use of electronic information about home values. Now, mortgage lenders have online automated valuation models that allow them to estimate values and to 10 the risk in theirportfolios. This has led to a proliferation of types of home loan, some of 11 have improved risk-management characteristics. We are also beginning to see new kinds of 12 for homes, which will make it possible to protect the value of 13 , for most people, is the single most important 14 of their wealth. The Yale University-Neighbourhood Reinvestment Corporation programme, 15 last year in the city of Syracuse, in New York state, may be a model for home-equity insurance policies that 16 sophisticated economic indices of house prices to define the 17 of the policy. Electronic futures markets that are based on econometric indices of house prices by city, already begun by City Index and IG Index in Britain and now 18 developed in the United States, will enable home-equity insurers to hedge the risks that they acquire by writing these policies.These examples are not impressive successes yet. But they 19 as early precursors of a technology that should one day help us to deal with the massive risks of inequality that 20 will beset us in coming years.1.

Globalization is the master2that will drive the world of food. Formerly remote 3 and cooking styles are creating a whole new culinary mosaic as they are4and reinterpreted all over the world.For the globe-trotting businessman, food savvy will be an important5of career mastery. Being successful in South America orthe Far East means having insight6another culture, and local7will become an important component of that. People will need8of food and ingredients from different continents and cultures as one aspect of9, cultural exchange, and success. 10, culinary globalism will not be limited to physical travel. Chefs will learn about 11 ingredients, recipes, and techniques without ever leaving their kitchens. Soul food will continue to appeal, even as diners grow more12. Look for collard greens and fried chicken on the menus of upscale restaurants. Fast-casual restaurants--trendy eateries that combine speed and quality--should keep growing in 13 . Ethnic cuisines will14 globally and combine: Look for chifa, a mixture of Japanese and Spanish foods,15 its native Peru.

Those guidelines included limiting the 1 of birds that could be kept in one 2 and prohibiting beak removal, 3 trimming just the tips.Once McDonald?s had4the way in issuing animal care guidelines for the company?s suppliers, many other giants of the fast-food industry rapidly followed 5, including Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Wendy?s, A and W and KFC. Now, the American Meat Institute has 6 welfare guidelines and audit 7 for cattle, pigs, and chickens. And the European Union,representing our foreign customers, is also 8 in with, among other things, legislation banning. 9 use of crates to house pregnant sows, 10 in 2013.Questions about animal care 11 with the explosive growth in large-scale livestock farms, 12 spurred customers to complain about animals being treated as “factory parts”. That spurred ARS and the livestock industry to take a proactive approach to addressing animal13issues, making sure that guidelines are based on facts 14 through scientific research. The goal is to share research findings with the retail food industry and others so that the livestock industry can improve its 15 guidelines. Ten years ago, to 16 these concerns, ARS started a research program on livestock behavior and stress. Thescientists involved were tasked with finding out whether modern farming practices were 17 stressing animals. And if so, could scientific methods be developed to measure this stress so that 18 could be evaluated objectively rather than subjectively?A decade later, the 19 answer is “yes” to both questions, Many had expected the answer to be “no” on both counts, but science works independently 20 people?s o pinions.1.

考研英语二真题及答案完形填空Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices given below and marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Man-made climate change, or global warming, has become a hot topic in recent years. It refers to long-term changes in the earth's temperature attributed mainly to the increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in 1 atmosphere, which trap more heat. There has been a heated debate over the causes and the effects of 2 change, and ways to address the issue.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to the understanding of climate change. 3 the IPCC has highlighted that there is strong evidence that human activities have caused the observed increase in greenhouse gases, the uncertainties surrounding climate change still persist.In the context of climate change 4 , the term "mitigation" refers to measures taken to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases in order to limit or prevent the extent of climate change. Examples of mitigation 5 adopting renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and improving energy efficiency in buildings and transportation.Mitigation 6 also include afforestation, which is the establishment of forests where there were none previously, as forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help reduce greenhouse gas levels.Adaptation, on the other hand, refers to the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change. This is 7 important for vulnerable communities and ecosystems that are exposed to the impacts of climate change. Examples of adaptation measures 8 the construction of sea walls to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels, developing drought-resistant crops to combat water scarcity, and implementing early warning systems for extreme weather events.Addressing climate change requires concerted efforts from all countries around the world, as it is a global issue that 9 no boundaries. The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aims to strengthen the global response to climate change and limit the global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.In conclusion, man-made climate change is a pressing issue that requires urgent action. Both mitigation and adaptation measures will be necessary to address the causes and impacts of climate change. It is crucial for individuals, governments, and organizations to work together to minimize the effects of global warming and ensure a sustainable future for our planet.1.

Light work; Questioning the Hawthorne effect
June 6, 2009
WHEN America's National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of industrial experiments at a large telephone-parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago in 1924, it hoped they would learn how shop-floor lighting affected (第一题答案为A)workers' productivity. Instead, the studies ended up (第二题答案为B)giving their name to the "Hawthorne effect", the extremely influential idea that the very act (第三题答案为C)of being experimented upon changes subjects' behavior.
The idea arose because of the perplexing (第四题答案为B)behavior of the women (who assembled relays and wound coils of wire)(题目中此处删除) in the Hawthorne plant. According to accounts (第五题答案为C)of the experiments, their hourly output rose when lighting was increased, but also when it was dimmed. It did not matter (第六题答案为B)what was done; so long as (第七题答案为D)something was changed, productivity rose. An awareness (第八题答案为A)that they were being experimented upon seemed to be enough (第九题答案为C)to alter workers' behavior by (第十题答案为D)itself.
命题专家改写了下面的句子(The data from the illumination experiments had never been rigorously analyzed and were believed lost. But Steven Levitt and John List, two economists at the University of Chicago, discovered that the data had survived the decades in two archives in Milwaukee and Boston,) and decided to subject (第十一题答案为C)them to econometric analysis. The Hawthorne experiments had another surprise in store for them. Contrary to (第十二题答案为A)the descriptions in the literature, they found no systematic evidence (第十三题答案为A)that levels of productivity in the factory rose whenever changes in lighting were implemented.
It turns out that idiosyncrasies in the way the experiments were conducted may have led to misleading (第十四题答案为D)interpretations of what happened. For example(第十五题答案为B), lighting was always changed on a Sunday, when the plant was closed. When it reopened on Monday, output duly rose (第十六题答案为A)compared with Saturday, the last working day before the change, and continued (第十七题答案为D)to rise for the next couple of days. But (第十八题答案)a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Mondays. Workers tended to(第十九题答案) beaver away(题目中换成了较简单的be diligent) for the first few days of the working week in any case, before hitting (第二十题答案为D)a plateau and then slackening off.
以下原文的两段没有选，我在这里列出，仅供大家参考：
Another of the original observations was that output fell when the trials ceased, suggesting that the act of experimentation caused increased productivity. But experimentation stopped in the summer, and it turns out from the records of production after the experiments that output tended to fall in the summer anyway. Perhaps workers were just hot.
There is a suggestion in the data that productivity was more responsive to changes in artificial than natural light. This could be interpreted as a subtler version of the Hawthorne effect, if you believe that workers were aware that changes in artificial light were induced by the experimenters, whereas natural light was changing on its own. But even this evidence is weak. For something so influential and intuitively appealing, it turns out that the Hawthorne effect is remarkably hard to pin down.
