Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society,a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought.after technologies.But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer,and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies. Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success.but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of flesh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur ( 企业 家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity.driven,flee and widely available will Suffer.Others claim that many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years. Ⅵmile this debate continues.new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer. Founded in 1949,the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organisation for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 1 2,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year, it Swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia. 31 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity? A Technology transfer. B Good management C Hard work. D Fierce competition 32 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research? A It is free. B It is profit—driven. C It is widely available. D It is curiosity—driven. 33 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in A Asia. B USA. C Europe. D Africa. 34 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded? A In 1940. B Last year. C After the unification. D In 1949. 35 The word “expertise’’ in line 3 could be best replaced by A “experts”. B “scientists”. . C “scholars”. D “special knowledge”. 第二篇 Superconductor Ceramic(陶瓷) An underground revolution begins this winter.with the flip(轻击)of a switch,30,000 homes in one part of Detroit will soon become the first in the country to receive electricity transmitted by ice.cold high.performance cables.Other American cities are expected to follow Detroit’s example in the years ahead.which could conserve enormous amounts of power. The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit are revolutionary because they are made of superconductors.A superconductor is a material that transmits electricity with little or no resistance.Resistance is the degree to which a substance resists electric current.All common electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical resistance.They convert at least some of the electrical energy passing through them into waste heat.Superconductors don’t· No one understands how superconductivity works.It just does. Making superconductors isn’t easy.A superconductor material has to be cooled to an extremely low temperature to 10se its resistance.The first superconductors,made more than 50 years ago,had to be cooled to一263 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance.Newer superconducting materials 10se their resistance at一143 degrees Celsius. The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is made of a ceramic material that contains copper.oxygen.bismuth(铋)。strontium(锶).and calcium(钙).A ceramic is a hard.strong compound made from clay or minerals.The superconducting ceramic has been fashioned into a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is supercold and lowers the temperature of the ceramic tape to the point where it conveys electricity with zero resistance. The United States loses an enormous amount of electricity each year to resistance. Because cooled superconductors have no resistance.they waste much less power.0ther cities are watching the Frisbie experiment in the hope that they might switch to superconducting cable and conserve power.too. 共7页: [1] 2 [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
