More UK universities should be profiting from ideas
A repeated criticism of the UK's university sector is its noticeable weakness in translating new knowledge into new products and services.
Recently, the UK National Stem Cell work warned the UK could lose its place among the world leaders in stem cell research unless adequate funding and legislation could be assured, despite an annual £40m spent by the Department of Health on all kinds of research.
　　However, we do have to challenge the unthinking plaint that the sector does not do enough in taking ideas to market. The most recent parative data on the performance of universities and research institutions in Australia, Canada, USA and UK shows that, from a relatively weak starting position, the UK now leads on many indicators of mercialization activity.
　　When viewed at the national level, the policy interventions (interference) of the past decade have helped transformed the performances of UK universities. Evidence suggests the UK's position is much stronger than in the recent past and is still showing improvement. But national data masks the very large variation in the performance of individual universities. The evidence shows that a large number of universities have fallen off the back of the pack, a few perform strongly and the rest chase the leaders.
　　This type of uneven distribution is not strange to the UK and is mirrored across other economies. In the UK, research is concentrated: less than 25% of universities are receiving 75% of the research funding. These same universities are also the institutions producing the greatest share of PhD graduates, science citations, patents and license ine. The effect of policies generating long-term resource concentration has also created a distinctive set of universities which are research-led and mercially active. It seems clear that the concentration of research and mercialization work creates differences between universities.
　　The core objective for universities which are research-led must be to maximize the impact of their research efforts. Their purpose is not to generate funds to add to the bottom line of the university or to substitute other ine streams. Rather, these universities should be generating the widest range of social, economic and environmental benefits. In return for the scale of investment, they should share their expertise (expert knowledge or skill) in order to build greater confidence in the sector.
　　Part of the economic recovery of the UK will be driven by the next generation of research mercialization spilling out of our universities. On the evidence presented in my report, there are three dozen universities in the UK which are actively engaged in advanced research training and mercialization work.
　　If there was a greater coordination（协调）of technology transfer offices within regions and a simultaneous (happening at the same time) investment in the scale and functions of our graduate schools, universities could, and should, play a key role in positioning the UK for the next growth cycle.
43. What does the author think of UK universities in terms of mercialization?
A. They have lost their leading position in many ways.
B. They still have a place among the world leaders.
C. They do not regard it as their responsibility.
D. They fail to change knowledge into money.
44. What does the author say about the national data on UK universities’ performance in
mercialization?
A. It masks the fatal weaknesses of government policy.
B. It indicates their ineffective use of government resources.
C. It does not rank UK universities in a scientific way.
D. It does not reflect the differences among universities.
45. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that “policy interventions (in Paragraph 4)” refers to _____.
A. concentration of resources in a limited number of universities
B. pulsory cooperation between universities and industries
C. government aid to non-research-oriented universities
D. fair distribution of funding for universities and research institutions
46. What dose the author suggest research-led universities do?
A. Fully use their research to benefit all sectors of society.
B. Generously share their facilities with those short of funds.
C. Advertise their research to win international recognition.
D. Spread their influence among top research institutions.

The events of Saturday night in Kunming are deeply engraved in the mind of Xie Qiming, who narrowly escaped death in the terrorist attack at the city's railway station.
The 48-year-old policeman intervened to stop the butchering of unarmed civilians, saving many from death and injury, but he was injured in the process.
Lying in a hospital bed, his head and nose marked by serious hacking wounds - one more than 20 centimeters long - Xie recounted（详细叙述） his actions on the day he describes as a nightmare.
"I shot at them but fell to the ground during the fighting. After the shots, the terrorists turned their attention to the police and several of them surrounded me and stabbed me like crazy," he said. "There is no humanity in them."
Xie is from the Beijinglu Police Station, the closest to the attack, and four police officers from the station were the first to respond. He survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, which was damaged by the attackers.
When the officers arrived, the attackers were running out of the ticket hall, attacking people with long knives.
Xie and his colleagues tried to stop the attack, which is when Xie was injured. In addition to the deep cuts, his skull was fractured, and at the time of writing he was awaiting further surgery.
"A wave of fierce anger rose up in my mind, and we all fot to think about the possible danger to us," said Hu Zhe, 23, a police officer trainee at the Beijinglu Police Station.
Having no firearm, he fought the terrorists with a wooden baton, but it got broken in the fighting. He sustained a 6-centimeter wound to his left eyebrow.
Wan Weiqing, a neurosurgeon from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, learned of the attack at 2 am on Sunday and took the first flight to Kunming, where he has been helping the victims.
He said that 71 victims are being treated at the Kunming First People's Hospital, most of them with severe multiple injuries.
"There is one victim whose rib, breastbone, lung and even heart were all injured in one chopping action. The attackers had obviously prepared and practiced for a long time," he said.
Zhou Hongmei, director of the Medical Reform Office at the Yunnan Health Department, said a team of medical experts including 29 doctors had arrived in Kunming by Monday night. They have been working at the five hospitals treating victims of the attack.
Chen Min, a Neurology Department nurse at Kunming First People's Hospital, said the department usually had seven nurses in the daytime and three at night. "But all the other nurses who were not on duty returned to the hospital voluntarily on Saturday night," she said.
In the past three days, none of them had more than 10 hours of rest.
"The crucial factor in saving lives in such incidents is treatment without delay," said Chai Wenzhao, associate director of the Intensive Care Unit in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Chai has participated in many emergency rescue efforts.
He said that the victims will need psychological counseling once their physical injuries have been dealt with, because the emotional impact of such an incident can be severe.
Four psychologists from Anding Hospital in Beijing have begun treating some of the victims.
47.Which of the following is true about Xie Qiming?
A.He was the first to arrive at the scene.
B.He was waiting for surgery when the report was writing.
C.He was slightly wounded.
D.He tried to stop the attack all by himself.
48.What does the underlined word “engraved” mean in the passage?
A. feared B.disapointed C.attacked D. impressed
49.What can we learn from Zhou Hongmei,?
A. the victims will need psychological treatment, because the emotional impact of such an incident can be severe.
B.Victims of the attack have been treated by .a team of medical experts.
C. Treatment without delay should be given to save lives in such incidents .
D.The attackers had obviously prepared and practiced for a long time,

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
Is there a “suess personality”―some winning bination of qualities that leads almost inevitably (必然地) to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret suess formula(公式), and can anyone develop it?
At the Gallop anization we recently focused in depth on suess, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random（随意）from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that our regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is mon sense.
mon sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that mon sense is very important in contributing to their suess.
To most, mon sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for suess is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a plex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”
Is mon sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that mon sense can definitely be developed. He owes this to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of mon sense is to observe it in others, learning from their―and your own―mistakes.
Besides mon sense, there are many other factors that influence suess: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But mon sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll sueed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.

Never Give up
Many people fail in life because they do not realize how close they are to suess when they give up.In this picture, we can see a man is cutting earth in a tunnel, hoping to find some diamonds. He makes great efforts in his work. However, after a long time of pains without gains, he decides to give up, feeling disappointed and depressed. But in fact he is very close to suess when he gives up. With one or two more attempts of cutting, he would have seen those diamonds right in front of him.
This story tells us a very simple but important piece of truth: we should be confident in what we have chosen to do and never stop our effort until we sueed.
As a student preparing for the entrance examinations, I should learn a lesson from the man. Just like the diamonds in the picture, suess is just waiting for my last efforts. I have been cutting earth for so many years, so I will never give up before I sueed.
