  Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialisation was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.

  

  No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word amateur does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.

  

  A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, where as the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.

  

  Although the process of professionalisation and specialisation was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century, its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century. In science generally, however, the nineteenth century must be reckoned as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.

  難句解析:

  

  ①No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word amateur does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values.▲先看前面的句子的主干是No…… distinction can be drawn between……,冒號后面的內容是進一步說明前面的觀點。在第二個句子中,一上來就有一個轉折詞nevertheless,表示語意的轉折,其主句是the word amateur does carry a connotation,后面有一個同位語從句,里面有兩個并列謂語。

  

  △注意nevertheless表示轉折,其后的信息與其前面的信息意思相反,前面講二者沒有很明顯的區(qū)別,后面便說業(yè)余和專業(yè)就是不一樣。其次要看清the word amateur DOES carry a connotation而非DOES NOT.

  

 ?、赥he trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.▲兩個分句有同一個主語,即the trend,兩個謂語為was obvious和can be illustrated.前一個分句中based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training修飾areas of science.

  

  △注意be illustrated的用法,這里是舉例說明,例證說明的意思;另外in terms of是就某事來說,以某事為例的意思。

  

  ③A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper.▲本句的主語是a comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half(中心詞為a comparison),謂語是reveals,賓語主體結構是not simply…… but also……所連接的兩個并列賓語,注意賓語emphasis和definition前都有分詞來修飾。

  

  △an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research譯為對科研的重要性的強調不斷攀升,a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper譯為一篇過得去的科研論文創(chuàng)作標準也有所變化,其中what指代the elements that.

  

  ④The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century.▲全句的主干結構是The…… result has been to do sth.。注意逗號后面只是一個名詞性的短語,其核心詞是a result,可以被看成是前面句子主語的同位語,在其內部主要是一個長的定語從句,而定語從句中又有兩個并列的狀語first by……, and then by……。

  

  △entrance入口,此處指發(fā)表文章,進入專業(yè)圈子。reinforce增強,也就是使難度更高。本句的理解重點在于理順句子結構,要看到在第一個逗號之后沒有動詞了,可以一層一層地把這個名詞短語分解開。

  

  ⑤A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.▲這是一個并列關系的并列句,兩個分句由whereas(而)連接,說明了兩種情況,前面是在說professional,而后面說amateurs.

  

  △coming together nationally within one or two specific societies理解為組成一到兩個全國性的??茖W術社團。

  

  試題解析:

  

  51. [D]

  

  根據(jù)第二段第三、四句,19世紀開始的專門化要求更長時間、更復雜的培訓,日益增長的專門化給參與科學活動的業(yè)余愛好者帶來了更大的問題。在特別是以數(shù)學和實驗為基礎的那些科學領域里,這一傾向自然表現(xiàn)得最為明顯,英國地質學領域的發(fā)展充分地說明了這一點。

  

  在這四個選擇項中,雖然沒有提到地質學,但是,眾所周知,就19世紀而言,物理學和化學均是以數(shù)學和實驗作為基礎的科學,因此[D]是正確答案。

  

  52. [B]意為:業(yè)余研究者可以在某些科學領域與專業(yè)研究者相匹敵。

  

  根據(jù)第三段,在20世紀,局部的研究(local studies)只有在能被納入并反映出更廣泛研究框架的時候,才為專業(yè)研究者所接受。這說明,某些方面的研究是為專業(yè)研究者所認可的。第二段還提到,目前并存著分別以業(yè)余研究者和專業(yè)研究者為對象的兩種雜志,專業(yè)地質學家組成了全國性的一兩個協(xié)會,而業(yè)余研究者則通常是或者參加本地的研究協(xié)會,或者也以不同的方式結成全國性的組織。這些都說明了業(yè)余研究的不可或缺性以及與職業(yè)研究并存狀況。

  

  A意為:專門化和專業(yè)化過程幾乎沒有區(qū)別。根據(jù)本文,專門化過程(specialisation)和專業(yè)化過程(professionalisation)實質上是同一個過程,即:研究領域的專門化帶來了研究人員的專業(yè)化,一個是針對研究對象而言,另一個是針對研究者而宮,二者同時發(fā)生,不可比較。

  

  C不對。根據(jù)第三段第四句,專業(yè)研究者對業(yè)余研究者甚至還有排擠的傾向。

  

  D不對。參閱本題對選擇項[B]的解釋。

  

  53. [A]

  

  參閱第二段第三、四句并第51題題解。請?zhí)貏e注意第四句中illustrate(舉例說明)。

  

  另外,第四段第一句也提到,雖然專業(yè)化和專門化過程早在19世紀已在英國的地質學領域展開,但直到20世紀我們才看到其全面影響。這句話也是對上一段的總結。

  

  B意為:業(yè)余研究者在科學研究中碰到的艱辛。例子中雖然提到了專業(yè)化結業(yè)余研究者帶來的不利影響。但就總體而言,這個例子說明的是專業(yè)化和專門化過程的形成及其影響。

  

  C意為:科技出版物出版方針的變化。第三段提到了科學雜志的問題(參閱第52題題解),但這顯然不是例子旨在說明的問題。

  

  D意為:專業(yè)研究者對業(yè)余研究者的歧視。

  

  54. [C]

  

  全文第一句指出,專門化過程可以看做是對日益積累的科學知識的反應。該句的含義是:科學知識的積累促進了知識的進一步分類和分化(或專門化)。

  

  A不對。第一段第二、三句話的意思是,通過將研究課題分作更小單位,人們可以繼續(xù)處理信息(注意:這里所說的information指上一句中的scientific knowledge),用之作為進一步研究的基礎,但是,專門化只是影響交流過程的一系列科學發(fā)展的一部分。這里所說的communication指科學知識的交流。

  

  B不對。專業(yè)比是隨著知識的進一步分類而產生的,不是其成因。參閱第52題對選擇項A的解釋。

  

  D意為:學術團體的分裂。

  

  全文翻譯:

  

  專業(yè)化可被視為針對科學知識不斷膨脹這個問題所做出的反應。通過將學科細化,個人能夠繼續(xù)處理這些不斷膨脹的信息并將它們作為深入研究的基礎。但是專業(yè)化僅是科學領域內一系列影響交流過程的有關現(xiàn)象之一。另一現(xiàn)象是科學活動的日益職業(yè)化。

  

  在科學領域內,專業(yè)與業(yè)余之間沒有絕對的區(qū)分:任何規(guī)律都有其例外。但是業(yè)余這個詞的確具有特殊的含義,那就是所指的那個人沒有完全融入某個科學家群體,具體地說,他可能并不完全認同這個群體的價值觀。19世紀的專業(yè)化的發(fā)展,以及隨之而來的對訓練的長期性和復雜性的要求,對業(yè)余人員進入科學界造成了更大的困難。特別是在以數(shù)學和實驗室訓練為基礎的科學領域,這種傾向自然尤為明顯,這可以通過英國的地質學發(fā)展過程得到證實。

  

  對過去一個半世紀的英國地質出版物進行比較,我們不但發(fā)現(xiàn)人們對研究的重視程度在不斷增加,而且人們對可以接受的論文的定義也在不斷變化。因此,在19世紀,局部的地質研究本身就可形成一種有價值的研究;而到了20世紀,如果局部的研究能夠被專業(yè)人員接受,那么它越來越傾向于必須體現(xiàn)或思考更廣闊的地質面貌。另一方面業(yè)余人員繼續(xù)以舊的方式從事局部的研究。其整體的結果是使業(yè)余人員進入專業(yè)性地質學雜志更加困難,而審稿制度的全面引進使這個結果得到加強,這一制度開始是在19世紀的全國性雜志進行,進入20世紀后也在一些地方性地質雜志實行。這樣發(fā)展的必然結果是出現(xiàn)了針對專業(yè)讀者和業(yè)余讀者的不同雜志。類似的分化過程也導致專業(yè)地質學家聚集起來,形成一兩個全國性的團體,而業(yè)余地質學家則要么留在地方性團體中,要么以不同方式組成全國性的團體。

  

  雖然職業(yè)化和專業(yè)化過程在19世紀的英國地質學界中已經得到迅速發(fā)展,但是它的效果直到20世紀才充分顯示出來。然而,從科學這個整體來看,19世紀必須被視為科學結構發(fā)生變化的關鍵時期。
