It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商业的) world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial (金钱的) considerations.

Helen Lee took a 70％cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects (前景) of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.

The influence of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual chances.

Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more important, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the change to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential (潜力) in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”

1.By “a one-way street” in Paragraph 1, the author means ______.

A．university researchers know little about the commercial world

B．few university professors are willing to do industrial research

C．few industrial scientists would leave to work in a university

D．there is little exchange between industry and academia

2.The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to “something that ______”.

A．helps to move the traffic	B．attracts people’s attention
C．brings someone a financial burden	D．keeps someone from taking action

3.What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?

A．Less work hours.

B．More freedom to choose research fields.

C．Better prospects of a commercial return.

D．Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.

4.What can industrial scientists do when they come to teach in a university?

A．Make its research more practical.

B．Develop its students’ potential in research.

C．Help it to obtain financial support from industry.

D．Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.

Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil — the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.

And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.

In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.

Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.

“We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.

The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.

Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.

The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.

The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.

1.The passage mainly tells us ______.

A．watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy

B．the advantages of fuel made from watermelons

C．Western countries aim at producing biofuels

D．watermelons could be used to make fuel

2. It can be learned from the text that ______.

A．about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre

B．sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year

C．half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy

D．five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain

3.The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

A．fresh

B．sweet

C．surface

D．inside

4.We can infer from the passage that ______.

A．it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons

B．Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go

C．watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel

D．the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources
