Just over 100 years ago Fitzgerald argued in a well-written letter______ Nature that Universities must be allowed to study useless subjects-______ they dont,who will? He went 0n to use the ______ of Maxwells electrodynamics_as one case where a useless subject has been transformed to a useful subject. Nowadays this argument is again very much______ in many universities.Indeed one suspects that it is one of those arguments that must be______ anewby each generation.But now there is an added twist )--subjects must not only be useful,they must also be______ enough that students will flockto d0 them,and even flock to pay to do them.

  As universities become commercial operations,the pressure to______ subjects or departments that are less popular will become stronger and stronger, Perhaps this is most strongly______ at the moment by physics.There has been much______ in the press of universities that are closing down physics departments and incorporate them with mathematics or engineering departments.

  Many scientists think otherwise.They see physics as a______ science,which must be kept alive if only to______ a base for other sciences and engineering.It is of their great personal concern that physics teaching and research is under______ in many universities.How Can it be preserved in the rush towards commercial competition? A major turnaroundin student popularity may have to______ until the industrial world discovers that it needs physicists and starts paying them well.

  Physics is now not only unpopular;it is also hard.We can do more about the latter by ______ teaching in our schools and universities.We can also______ cooperative arrangements to ensure that physicists keep their research and teaching up to date

  答案解析:

  1.答案为C。lette~-to:写给的信。空格后是一学术杂志《自然》的名称,故选C。

  2.答案为A。虽然这几个连词放到空白处词句形式上都成立,但只有选项A放进去后意思才讲得通,故选A。

  3.答案为B。example和后面的case在这里意思一样,其他几个选项放在句子中意思不通。

  4.答案为D。此题必须看懂前面的意思才能选对。active在这里表示热烈的,激烈的意思。形容争论或讨论热烈,用active。

  5.答案为A。这里要看搭配,fight可以和argument搭配,其他不可以。

  6.答案为B。popular的意思是时髦的,热门的。一些专业只有成为热门,选的学生才多。根据上下文只能选B。

  7.答案为C。eliminate的意思是:to completely get rid of something$that.is unnecessary orunwanted,此词放入原句中意思讲得通。

  8.答案为D。本段前面两句主要谈人们想把一些不时髦的专业和系砍掉。本题所在的句子的意思是物理系感慨尤深。

  9.答案为A。此题必须从上下文的意思上来考虑,因为其他几个词放到句子中去也可以说得通,但结合上下文只有选项A合适,其他的选项都不合适。

  10.答案为D。fundamental:基础的。fundamental science:基础科学。

  11.答案为B。provide a base for other science:为其他科学打基础。其他几个选项不能和base搭配,意思上也讲不通。

  12.答案为C。under threat:面临危险。选项A一般不可与under搭配使用。选项B和D虽然可以和under搭配使用,但根据上下文在这里意思讲不通。

  13.答案为A。该旬的意思是:只有等到工业界的人们发现,他们需要物理学家,而且开始高薪聘用他们时,更多的学生才会对物理学感爱好。wait until:等到^时候。其他几个选项意思讲不通。

  14.答案为B。如何使物理不难学呢?那就是要改进教学方法。improve:改进,提高。

  15.答案为D。此题亦需从上下文的意思上来考虑,fix,modify,review虽然可以和arrangement搭配,但这里只有develop arrangement符合原文的意思,所以选D。
