16、oice for the nations wealthiespeople to send their male children to. He went on to Oxford University, where he graduated with adegree in philosophy, politics and economics.

22、.”Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie andthought: Its simply badly researched, or, the makers must think were idiots（白癡） Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincingtech moments from some top movies. Lets see what all the fuss (激動) is abo

23、ut. Telegraph writer Tom Chivers first example is from the end-of-the-world movieIndependence Day, in which a characte comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows,the computer system the alien spacecraft uses. “Its a good thing they didnt have NortonAntivirus,” jokes Chivers. Its just one ca

24、se of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chiversmentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling throuth space look veryimpressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子) for the light to reflect off.In reality, theyd be invisibl

25、e, which wouldnt look so cool on the big screen. Chivers second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies:“the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs amedium (介質(zhì)) to travel through, like air. In space,there wouldnt actually

26、be any sound at all. Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chives,the science in the movies is a little silly. And finally: as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementarygenetice(遺傳學(xué)) passed the makers of the 2002 Bond fil

30、elling jounal B. a science magazine C. an encyclopedia D. a movie magazineC When I was a young man just out of law school and eager to get on with my life, on a whim(心血來潮) I briefly put aside my reading preference for fiction and history and bought one ofthose how-to books: How to Get Control of You

31、r Time and Your Life, by Alan Lakein. The booksmain point was the necessity of listing short-, medium-, and long-term life goals, then categorizing them in order of their importance, with the A group being the most important, the B group next, and the C the last, that listing under each goal specifi

32、c activities designed to achieve them. I still have that peperback book, now almost thirty years old. And Im sure I have that old listsomewhere buried in my papers, though I cant find it.

35、esidency on the shoulders of my personal friends, the now legendary FOBs. My lifein politics was a joy.

40、 question facingthose who deal in the literary artifacts.(手工藝品) of public figures, as they struggle to work outhow to do business in the electronic world where information can be copied and spread out moreeasily than ever before. “Booksellers, collectors and libraries are already trading in digital,

41、 objects,” Joan Winterkorn,an antiquarian and the bookseller Bernard Quaritch told people present at the Digital Livesconference at the British Library earlier this week. When Emory University Library bought authorSalman Rushdies archives (檔案) in 2006, it received a desktop computer, three laptops,

42、a harddrive and a smart phone along with his paper files. And the writer John Updike, who died lastmonth, started using computers in the 1980s, Winterkom pointed out, so his “papers” will includea big store of electronic documents. So far, however, digital archives have been traded as just a small p

43、art of a larger, mainlypaper-based archive, and to date the paper parts have largely driven the highest prices. Indeed, noone is quite sure how much the digital documentes of a historical figure are worth. “I dont feel the same way about the printout of an e-mail as I do a letter,” said GabrielHeato

44、n, a literary manuscript specialist, adding that more real digital objects were easier forauctioneers (拍賣商) to price and sell. “What about a laptop? For example, the one used by JKRowling to write Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in an Edinburgh cafe has real value,”he said, “because she used

45、 it,” Even if the hard drive had been cloned by a library, the artifactwould still he valuable. Barack Obamas Blackberry will likely make some collectors very happyin future.Although some auctioneers and booksellers suggested that digital archives would end upbeing valued at levels close to their pa

46、per ones, Gordon Bell, from Microsoft Research, suggestedthat prices should actually fall to almost nothing. “Once its been copied and spread out the valueis gone. Its just a piece of memory.”41. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The passages talks about the value of some antiques. B.The pas

47、sage tells us how important the digital archives are. C. The passage reveals how people think about the paper-based archives. D.

In Gabriel Heatons opinion, an old computer used by a famous writer can be valuable. D. Paper-based archives can not be sold at high prices.43. T
