Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Climate scientists need to swallow their mistrusts and share their data and working methods with their critics. So concludes an inquiry by British members of parliament into the "climategate" affair, in which damaging emails were copied from a computer server at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, and published on the Internet. But, unexpectedly, the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee has placed more blame on the university than on the scientists at its Climatic Research Unit (CRU), whose emails were stolen, and the unit's director Phil Jones.
This verdict puts the official university inquiry launched last December in a strange position. Vice-chancellor Edward Acton asked the inquiry to report on possible misdeeds at CRU. Now MPs suggest that the university itself may be at least as much to blame. The MPs found that the leaked emails reveal that a "culture of withholding information appears to have pervaded CRU that we consider unacceptable". Some information "may have been deleted", possibly in breach of the law. The MPs do not accept CRU's claim that its staffs were simply overwhelmed by requests for data, often trifling. Rather, CRU's "unhelpful approach" to requests led to them "multiplying".
The MPs were clearly impressed with Jones's sincerity. "We can sympathize with Professor Jones, who must have found it frustrating to handle requests for data that he knew--or perceived--were motivated by a desire simply to undermine his work." His actions were "inevitably counterproductive", the MPs conclude, but much of it was "common practice in the climate science community".
They call for the scientists in general to become more open but conclude that, "the scientific reputation of Professor Jones and CRU remains intact (完整的)". The MPs say the university shares a lot of the blame for climategate. Its "failure to grasp fully the potential damage from non-disclosure of freedom of information requests was regrettable". Staff responsible for the implementation of the legislation "found ways to sup-port the culture at CRU of resisting disclosure of information to climate change skeptics". The release of the CRU emails led to allegations of data manipulation, fraud, subversion of the peer-review process and conspiracy to withhold data from critics. The MPs exonerate (宣布无罪) Jones and his colleagues on the more lurid charges, but admit they did not have the time to go into some other matters. "We would have preferred to carry out a wider inquiry into the science of global warming itself," they say.
The findings could reverberate beyond the Norwich campus. The MPs say the government should review the rules for giving the public access to data "collected and analysed with UK public money".
The inquiry by British members of parliament concludes that climate scientists need ______.
The study by Richard Byrne and Joanne Tanner of St. Andrews University in the UK implies that ______.
A．It is part of their local heritage.B．It is an attraction of tourists.C．It is the rev
听力原文：W: This food is terrible!I Can't even finish my dinner．
M: I know．you think with all the money we paid for room and board，the university could hire a better food service．Where are you headed next？
W: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge．
M: You are spending your time on a card game？
W: Not just any card game．It's one of the most strategic games． M: So I have heard. Don't you play with a partner？
W: Yeah! Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So, you try to play in cooperation with your partner？
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy, what do you do while the cards are being played？
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone... I like to stand behind my partner and watch. That is very interesting.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit-forming. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play cards on Thursday after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player, ff you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks, but I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to do yet.
W: I know you are busy, but sometimes you need to have a rest.
