　　IV. 综合 (阅读)

　　Directions: There is a passage followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A), B), C) and D), you should choose the One that best answers the question.

　　The intellectual commerce that has propelled the explosive growth of international science and technology over the past 50 years is threatened. More than at any time, our government increasingly has sought to bar the entry of scientists from nations at odds with our foreign policy interests and to prevent the travel of US scientists to many of these same nations. This effort to selectively abridge scientific exchange threatens the vigor of the world's science enterprise.

　　There is perhaps no better rationale for freedom in the conduct of science than that provided by the statutes of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU):"ICSU as an international nongovernnmental body shall observe and actively uphold the principle of the universality of science. This principle entails freedom of association, expression, information, communication and movement in connection with international scientific activities."

　　Throughout the darkest days of the Cold War, this statute was accepted by our government and used by the National Academy of Sciences to promote contacts between Soviet and Western scientists. Without such interactions, it was recognized that neither side would be able to fulfill its need to reduce tensions, build confidence, and develop workable schemes for arms control and weapons reductions.

　　Because of Indian and Pakistani ambitions to be nuclear powers, South Asian physicists and other scientists have recently been prevented from attending international scientific conferences in the United States. Within 6 weeks of the first Indian nuclear tests, a leading figure in India's nuclear program, was unable to attend a US meeting of the executive committee of the International Union.

　　The variegated richness of science is a product of its diversity. In the wake of World War II, the world's scientific talent flocked to US and UK research universities and laboratories, thereby vastly enriching science. The efforts of government officials to slow this engine of exchange under the disguise of preventing weapons technology transfers threaten debilitating consequences for science here and abroad.

　　1. The word "commerce"(Para.1) is closest in meaning to________.

　　A) the buying and selling of goods and services

　　B) relationships and communications between worldwide scientists

　　C)International Council of Scientific Unions

　　D)National Academy of Science

　　2. The third paragraph________.

　　A) is intended to condemn the Cold War

　　B) is meant to prove that there is perhaps no better rational for freedom in the conduct of science than that provided by the statutes of ICSU

　　C) proves that arms control and weapons reductions contribute a lot to world peace

　　D) is a summary of the first two paragraphs

　　3. The author thinks________.

　　A) ICSU does more harm than good for world people

　　B) India and Pakistan deserve the punishment

　　C) the inability for the leading figure to attend the US meeting is beneficial for the prevention of nuclear weapons technology transfers

　　D) the statutes of the ICSU should be abided by

　　4. The best title for this text might be________.

　　A) The Universality of Science

　　B) ICSU

　　C) Nuclear Arms Competition-The End of the World

　　D) The Intellectual Commerce

　　5. The text is primarily intended to________.

　　A) explain the ICSU statutes

　　B) advocate the idea that science is trans-boundary

　　C) criticize the U.S. government for its impediment to scientific interactions

　　D) denounce India and Pakistan for their ambition to be nuclear powers
