Was someone whocould write authoritatively about so many subjects a polymath, a genius or adilettante? In an ambitious new biography, Andrew Robinson argues that Young isa good contender for the epitaph "the last man who knew everything."Young has competition, however: The phrase, which Robinson takes for his title,also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies: Leonard Warren's1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy (1823-1891) and Paula Findlen's 2004book on Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680), another polymath.BYoung, of course, did more than write encyclopedia entries. Hepresented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 andwas elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday. In the paper, Youngexplained the process of accommodation in the human eye on how the eye focusesproperly on objects at varying distances. Young hypothesized that this wasachieved by changes in the shape of the lens. Young also theorized that lighttraveled in waves and he believed that, to account for the ability to see incolor, there must be three receptors in the eye corresponding to the three"principal colors" to which the retina could respond: red, green,violet. All these hypothesis were subsequently proved to be correct.C Later in his life, when he was in his forties, Young was instrumentalin cracking the code that unlocked the unknown script on the Rosetta Stone, atablet that was "found" in Egypt by the Napoleonic army in 1799. Thestone contains text in three alphabets: Greek, something unrecognizable andEgyptian hieroglyphs. The unrecognizable script is now known as demotic and, asYoung deduced, is related directly to hieroglyphic. His initial work on thisappeared in his Britannica entry on Egypt. In another entry, he coined the termIndo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most ofEurope and northern India. These are the landmark achievements of a man who wasa child prodigy and who, unlike many remarkable children, did not disappearinto oblivion as an adult.D Born in 1773 in Somerset in England, Young lived from an earlyage with his maternal grandfather, eventually leaving to attend boardingschool. He haddevoured books from the age of two, and through his owninitiative he excelled at Latin, Greek, mathematics and natural philosophy.After leaving school, he was greatly encouraged by his mother's uncle, RichardBrocklesby, a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following Brocklesby'slead, Young decided to pursue a career in medicine. He studied in London,following the medical circuit, and then moved on to more formal education inEdinburgh, Gottingen and Cambridge. After completing his medical training atthe University of Cambridge in 1808, Young set up practice as a physician inLondon. He soon became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a fewyears later was appointed physician at St. George's Hospital.EYoung's skill as a physician, however, did not equal his skill as ascholar of natural philosophy or linguistics. Earlier, in 1801, he had beenappointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution,where he delivered as many as 60 lectures in a year. These were published intwo volumes in 1807. In 1804 Young had become secretary to the Royal Society, apost he would hold until his death. His opinions were sought on civic andnational matters, such as the introduction of gas lighting to London andmethods of ship construction. From 1819 he was superintendent of the NauticalAlmanac and secretary to the Board of Longitude. From 1824 to 1829 he wasphysician to and inspector of calculations for the Palladian Insurance Company.Between 1816 and 1825 he contributed his many and various entries to theEncyclopedia Britannica, and throughout his career he authored numerous books,essays and papers.FYoung is a perfect subject for a biography - perfect, but daunting. Fewmen contributed so much to so many technical fields. Robinson's aim is tointroduce non-scientists to Young's work and life. He succeeds, providing clearexpositions of the technical material (especially that on optics and Egyptianhieroglyphs). Some readers of this book will, like Robinson, find Young'saccomplishments impressive; others will see him as some historians have - as adilettante. Yet despite the rich material presented in this book, readers willnot end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young,doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures andtranslating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of asummerhouse into Greek elegiacs. Young was introduced into elite society,attended the theatre and learned to dance and play the flute. In addition, hewas an accomplished horseman. However, his personal life looks pale next to hisvibrant career and studies.GYoung married Eliza Maxwell in 1804, and according to Robinson,"their marriage was a happy one and she appreciated his work." Almostall we know about her is that she sustained her husband through some rancorousdisputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical careerwas slow to take off. Very little evidence survives about the complexities ofYoung's relationships with his mother and father. Robinson does not creditthem, or anyone else, with shaping Young's extraordinary mind. Despite the lackof details concerning Young's relationships, however, anyone interested in whatit means to be a genius should read this book. Questions 1-7Do the following statements agree with the information given in ReadingPassage 1?In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement is trueFALSE if the statement is falseNOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage1 “The last man who knew everything” has also been claimed to otherpeople.2 All Young’s articles were published in Encyclopedia Britannica.3 Like others, Young wasn't so brilliant when grew up.4 Young's talents as a doctor are surpassing his other skills.5 Young's advice was sought by people responsible for local andnational issues.6 Young was interested in various social pastimes.7 Young suffered from a disease in his later years.Questions 8-13Answer the questions below.Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the passage foreach answer.8 How many life stories did Young write for Encyclopedia Britannica?9 What aspect of scientific research did Young do in his first academicpaper?10 What name did Young introduce to refer to a group of languages?11 Who inspired Young to start the medical studies?12 Where did Young get a teaching position?13 What contribution did Young make to London? 中文翻译：A 我们该怎样理解托马斯•杨（1773-1829）？他是《大不列颠百科全书》中63篇文章的作者，其中包括46篇传记（大部分都是关于科学家和古典学者），和大量关于“桥” “色彩论” “埃及” “语吉” “潮汐”等的论文。一个能够写出这样多有权威性文章的人应该算是一个博学者？ 一个天才？还是一个业余兴趣广泛的人呢？在一篇关于他的比较激进的传记中，Andrew Robinson 认为托马斯杨是-位强有力的竞争者能够配得这样的墓志铭“是最后一个知道任何事的人”。但是杨也要面对竞争：因为这样的传记标题Robinson不仅给了他，也作为副标题给了有关另两位学者的传记：Lenard Warren1998年著的《古生物学家Joseph Leipy的一生》（1823-1891）以及Paula Findlen2004年著的关于另一位博学者AthanasiusKircher(1602-1680)的传记。B 当然杨的贡献远不止写了很多百科全书上的文章，他在20岁的时候将自己的第一篇论文自荐给伦敦皇家学会,并在他的21岁生日后被评为一周科学人物，杨在该篇论文中解释了人类眼睛的调节机制一一关于眼睛如何通过不同的距离聚焦在物体上。在后面的文章中，他更加全面地探讨了这个问题，类似牛顿，他在自己身上进行了可怕的实验用以获得相关的证据，他还得出这样的理论：光是通过“以太”分子的振动，以波的形式进行传递的，而“以太”是一种假想物质，其存在还存在争议性。他还认为为了能看见颜色，必须要有3个感应器对“三原色”进行感应，而这三种视网膜对其产生感应的颜色就是红，黄，蓝二种颜色。C 在他人生的晚些时候，也就是40多岁的时候，杨试图破解锁在罗塞塔石碑里的未知文字密码，这个石碑是在1799年在埃及被拿破仑的军队发现的，并且从1802年起就在英国博物馆进行展出。该石碑上包含了 3种不同的字母：希腊语，不可辨识的文字以及埃及的象形文字。这种不可辨识的文字现在被认为是正如杨所推断的是很普通的，是和象形文字直接相关的。他最初有关这方面的工作首次出现在他在《大不列颠百科全书》中编纂的词条。在另一个条目中，他创造了术语“Indo-European”来描述在欧洲大部分地区以及北印度使用的语言。这些都是这是这位从小就展露科学天赋并且不像很多孩子后来江郎才尽的科学家获得的里程碑式的成就。D 托马斯•杨出生在英国萨默塞特郡一个虔诚的教友会教徒家庭，从小和他的外公一起长大，最后去了寄宿学校。他两岁的时候就博览群书，并且自学熟练掌握了拉丁语，希腊语，数学以及哲学，在很大程度上他受到了舅舅RichardBrocklesby的鼓励，他的舅舅也是英国皇家学会的一位内科医生。在Brocklesby的引导下，杨决定要在医学方而有所建树，他曾先后在伦敦大学、爱丁堡大学和格丁根大学学习医学，多亏了Brocklesby的引荐，杨进入了英国皇家学会，他最后也打破了从小在教友会的教育，他参加戏剧演出，学习跳舞和吹笛子，此外，他还是一位杰出的马术师。在1808年结束在剑桥大学的医学学习后，杨在伦敦开了一家诊所，很快他就成为皇家内科医生学会的一员，并且几年后成为圣乔治医院的一名内科医生。E 杨作为内科医生的医术却赶不上他作为自然哲学学者或是语言学家取得的成就，早在1801年，他已经被任命为英国皇家学会的教授，他每年要在那里举办60场的讲座。这些讲座在1807年以两本书的形式进行出版。1804年杨就已经成为英国朵家学会的秘书，而他获此殊荣直至去世。他的很多观点关注人民和国家事务，比如说在伦敦引进煤气照明和造船方法。从1819年起，他就是航海天文年历的主要负责人，也是Board ofLongitude的秘书。从1824年到1829年，他担任Palladian 保险公司的精算师和内科医生。在1816年和1825年间，他为《大不列颠百科全书》编纂了许多词条，而且穷其一生著作，论文无数。F 我们通过杨在医学课上胡乱写的希腊字母和拉丁文短语以及他将一位年轻的女士写在避暑山庄墙上的诗句翻译成挽歌可以看出他的幽默，但是他的个人生活也因为自己对工作和研究的全情投入而略显苍白。G 他在1804年和Eliza Maxwell结婚，据Robinson所述“他们的婚姻是幸福的，因为他的夫人欣赏他的工作”。我们对于他夫人的了解仅限于她在她丈夫备受一些关于眼睛的理论方面争议的时候总是坚定地支持他，并且当他的医学生涯开始慢慢起飞的时候，她开始有些担心钱的问题。值得一提的是，杨没有被保护的人，他都是和自己的导师进行互动一一先是他的外公，后是Brocklesby一一还有先于他过失的一些伟人（其中很多是很著名的如牛顿，杨最早在17岁读了他写的书）。但是关于杨和他母亲以及父亲的关系的记述却鲜力人知，Robinson在说到杨的非凡的头脑时也并没有将其归功于他的父母，或许很难有这样的巧合：过去的天才都是由于卓越的父母教育造就的。 答案：1.TRUE 2.FALSE 3.FALSE 4.NOT GIVEN5.TRUE 6.TRUE 7.

第二篇：英国的羊毛
第三篇：新产品营销 Psychology of New Product Adoption文章大意:关于经济学相对优势的问题。内容有讲到企业与创新,并分析了一些消费者心理,同有各路专家出来给出解释。印象比较深刻的观点是说消费者会拿商品和自己已有的物品比较进行主观判断,而且总体上购买欲是比较消极的。有俩实验:一个是让两组人分别扮演买者和卖者,对一批咖啡杯进行估价,卖者永远比买者估价高出一倍左右。另一个是三组小朋友,一组可以任意选择被告知价格差不多的咖啡杯和瑞士巧克力,第二组有咖啡杯但他们可以选择用自己的咖啡杯去换巧克力,第三组有巧克力但可以选择用自己的巧克力换咖啡杯。结果已经有咖啡杯或巧克力的人,只有10%左右愿意拿手头的东西换新的。于是各路专家继续解释。
More than a century ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson is reported to have said, “If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.” If only marketing innovations were that simple.In today’s hypercompetitive marketplace, companies that successfully introduce new products are more likely to flourish than those that don’t. Businesses spend billions of dollars making better “mousetraps” only to find consumers roundly rejecting them. Studies show that new products fail at the stunning rate of between 40% and 90%, depending on the category, and the odds haven’t changed much in the past 25 years. In the U.S. packaged goods industry, for instance, companies introduce 30,000 products every year, but 70% to 90% of them don’t stay on store shelves for more than 12 months. Most innovative products—those that create new product categories or revolutionize old ones—are also unsuccessful. According to one study, 47% of first movers have failed, meaning that approximately half the companies that pioneered new product categories later pulled out of those businesses.Consider three high-profile innovations whose performances have fallen far short of expectations:Webvan spent more than $1 billion to create an online grocery business, only to declare bankruptcy in July 2001 after failing to attract as many customers as it thought it would.In spite of gaining the support of Apple’s Steve Jobs, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and many high-profile investors, Segway sold a mere 6,000 scooters in the 18 months after its launch—a far cry from the 50,000 to 100,000 units projected.Although TiVo’s digital video recorder (DVR) has garnered rave reviews since the late 1990s from both industry experts and product adopters, the company had amassed $600 million in operating losses by 2005 because demand trailed expectations.After the fact, experts and novices alike tend to dismiss unsuccessful innovations as bad ideas that were destined to fail. But surely that’s too simple an explanation. If these innovations are so misguided, why isn’t it obvious before the fact? Webvan was backed by seasoned retailers, executives, and investment bankers, but it was nonetheless a spectacular failure. While the Segway and TiVo stories have yet to play out fully, both company executives and industry analysts were far more optimistic about those innovations than they should have been.Why do consumers fail to buy innovative products even when they offer distinct improvements over existing ones? Why do companies invariably have more faith in new products than is warranted? Few would question the objective advantages of many innovations over existing alternatives, but that’s often not enough for them to succeed. To understand why new products fail to live up to companies’ expectations, we must delve into the psychology of behavior change. This article presents a behavioral framework that explains why so many products fail and outlines some actions that companies can take to improve their chances of success.New products often require consumers to change their behavior. As companies know,those behavior changes entail costs. Consumers incur transaction costs, such as the activation fees they have to pay when they switch from one cellular service provider to another.They also bear learning costs, such as when they shift from manual to automatic automo-bile transmissions. People sustain obsolescence costs, too. For example, when they switch from VCRs to DVD players, their video-tape collections become useless. All of these are economic switching costs that most companies routinely anticipate. What businesses don’t take into account,however, are the psychological costs associated with behavior change. Many products fail be-cause of a universal, but largely ignored, psychological bias: People irrationally over value benefits they currently possess relative to those they don’t. The bias leads consumers to value the advantages of products they own more than the benefits of new ones. It also leads executives to value the benefits of innovations they’ve developed over the advantages of in-cumbent products. That leads to a clash in perspectives: Executives, who irrationally overvalue their innovations, must predict the buying behavior of consumers, who irrationally overvalue existing alternatives. The results are often disastrous:Consumers reject new products that would make them better off, while executives are at a loss to anticipate failure. This double-edged bias is the curse of innovation.答案：28.C 29.B 30.A 31.D 32.FALSE 33.TRUE 34.NOT GIVEN 35.TRUE36.FALSE 37.B38.C 39.A 40.C回忆6：回忆7：回忆8：回忆9：回忆10：回忆11：回忆12：
2020年9月5日雅思考试总体反馈：重磅！9月5日雅思考试全部命中四个Sections原文原题原答案！命中大小作文原题目!命中口语绝大部分真题原题! 命中至少两篇阅读原文原题原答案！总体难度一般。2020年9月5日雅思听说读写全面大中,全面开花！（疫情期间，全球不同考区时差、A类、G类考生回忆数据比较少、收集不够齐全，待补充，还在不断更新中…）祝贺IRP会员将出现不少雅思高分人才！总体反馈请（复制链接）进入http://bbs.ieltstofelglobal.com/thread-250527-1-1.html和http://bbs.ieltstofelglobal.com/forum-36-1.html和http://bbs.ieltstofelglobal.com/forum-39-1.html特别提醒：雅思考试20多年来，有非常严格的规律性和出题思路。全世界有6大考区，而只有一个剑桥考试中心几个人在出题，每个考区一周平均要出一份考卷，一个月很多考区平均出24份考卷。（尤其是2019-2020年以来,全世界各考区和众多城市开始增加雅思机考的选择，机考的城市几乎每天都有雅思考试，一个月考官要出20几份雅思机考卷子，机考跟传统纸质考试的区别只是纸质和电脑上考试的区别，考试内容、评分标准、难度等级、考试题型、考试安全设置等方面均与现行的纸笔模式完全一致。）雅思考试如此频繁，如何保证达到难度一样呢，如何保证新题难度、准确度和评价机制公平呢，所以只能是20几年来的题库旧题目的有效组合，新题不能超出5%-10%,每份雅思卷子都是90%-99%以上旧题。每一份雅思考试试题其实是大部分旧题原题真题+个别新题目的重新组合，多年雅思考官和专家Edward老师非常熟悉雅思出题规律和听说读写题库出题组合卷子的秘诀，IRP资料因此而诞生！具体请阅读http://bbs.ieltstofelglobal.com/thread-32-1-1.html
