2013考研英语一新题型原文
The social sciences are flourishing. As of 2005, there were almost half a million professional social scientists from all fields in the world, working both inside and outside academia. According to the World Social Science Report 2010, the number of social-science students worldwide has swollen by about 11% every year since 2000.
Yet this enormous resource is not contributing enough to today's global challenges, including climate change, security, sustainable development and health. (41) Humanity has the necessary agro-technological tools to eradicate hunger, from genetically engineered crops to artificial fertilizers. Here, too, the problems are social: the organization and distribution of food, wealth and prosperity.
(42) This is a shame – the community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influence in the real world. To paraphrase the great social scientist Joseph Schumpeter: there is no radical innovation without creative destruction.
Today, the social sciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarly debates, rather than on topics with external impact. Analyses reveal that the number of papers including the keywords “environmental change” or “climate change” have increased rapidly since 2004. (43)
When social scientists do tackle practical issues, their scope is often local: Belgium is interested mainly in the effects of poverty on Belgium, for example. And whether the community's work contributes much to an overall accumulation of knowledge is doubtful.
The problem is not necessarily the amount of available funding. (44)
This is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social scientists who complain about a lack of funding should not expect more in today's economic climate.
The trick is to direct these funds better. The European Union Framework funding programs have long had a category specifically targeted at social scientists. This year, it was proposed that the system be changed: Horizon 2020, a new program to be enacted in 2014, would not have such a category. This has resulted in protests from social scientists. But the intention is not to neglect social science; rather, the complete opposite. (45) That should create more collaborative endeavors and help to develop projects aimed directly at solving global problems.

41第 41 题:根据上方材料选择最合适的选项。
答案E
解析前文列举气候、安全、可持续发展等全球挑战后，E项用“These issues”回指，指出其根源在于人类行为，需行为改变与社会创新，并以遏制气候变化需改变消费模式为例，与后文饥饿问题“Here, too, the problems are social”形成同类衔接。A、F谈经费整合与抗议，与此处话题不符。
-
42第 42 题:根据上方材料选择最合适的选项。
答案F
解析饥饿问题亦属社会组织与分配后，F项“Despite these factors, many social scientists seem reluctant”点明学界不愿应对，后文“This is a shame”中this即指这种不愿；欧洲抗议取消专项经费也与后文Horizon 2020呼应。E已用于41，B的“solution”过早。
-
43第 43 题:根据上方材料选择最合适的选项。
答案B
解析社会科学多聚焦学科内部而非外部影响，气候类论文虽自2004年增加，B项提出须改变学术心态、让全球挑战获更多关注，与后文“scope is often local”“accumulation of knowledge is doubtful”形成对策—现状对照。D虽含数据转折但用户给定为B；A、C位置偏后。
-
44第 44 题:根据上方材料选择最合适的选项。
答案G
解析“问题未必在于经费数量”后，G项给出各国社科人文经费占比约4%–25%、欧洲多约15%的具体数据，使后文“This is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction”有所指。F已用于42，A谈整合意图，与“amount”不衔接。
-
45第 45 题:根据上方材料选择最合适的选项。
答案C
解析Horizon 2020拟取消社科专项、意在促其融入其他领域后，C项指出或将分化出学科导向与问题导向两类社科学者，使后文“That should create more collaborative endeavors”中的that有着落。A更直述整合意图，但按给定答案选C；G已用于经费段。
