THE DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY
Just over one hundred years ago, the last volume of a tremendous work of reference
entitled The Dictionary of National Biography rolled off the printing presses.
(13)...................(ADMIT), this 21-volume shelf-filler may not immediately sound like the
most thrilling read in the world. As entertainment, you might imagine it ranks some way
below a (14)...................(POLITICS) autobiography. But you would be very, very wrong.
The DNB, like the Oxford English Dictionary, is one of the great monuments to British
culture and also a hugely enjoyable work in its own right. It is, quite simply, an
(15)...................(ALPHABET) dictionary of potted biographies of all the notable men and
women who had lived in Britain since the year dot. It was produced between 1885 and 1900,
and it remains (16)...................(EMPHASIS) an achievement of the Victorian period, richly
redolent of 19th century confidence and (17)...................(CAPABLE), energy and optimism.
It is also a monument to the enormous variety of the British national character, and the
dictionary is immeasurably (18)...................(RICH) by this aspect. There are not only great
statesmen, generals, writers, but also hundreds of wonderfully colourful characters, who you
can discover only by leafing idly through a volume of the DNB on a wet afternoon down at
your local library.
The way in which the DNB was produced was very British too: on a shoestring, out of
sheer dedication, and with no state (19) ...................(INTERFERE) whatsoever. It was the
private endeavour of a group of (20)...................(ENTHUSE), scholars and freelance
journalists, as opposed to, for instance, the Austrian equivalent, produced under the
oppressive auspices of the imperial Academy of Vienna.

Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions 71–80.
A. My mum is the team manager for the Olympic diving team and when I was a baby I used
to go with her to the pool and jump in and out now I practice diving every day after school
and on Saturdays. I’m really too tall to be a great diver and my long legs make it difficult to
do somersaults, so I don’t think I’ll ever make it to the top. But nevertheless, I find it
exhilarating when I’m diving well. If it’s a complicated dive, I have to concentrate very hard,
which is difficult if I feel nervous. My dad’s support is very motivating for me. I take part in
about 10 competitions a year, both national and international. The best thing about it is that
you make new friends from different countries. I do trampolining for the regional team, which
prepares me for diving – the moves are similar but you don’t land in water! The one thing I
don’t like about it is that doing my homework takes up my spare time and I don’t have much
time to go out with my friends from school.
B. Last year our netball team was promoted to the top league and so the coach became very
strict. At that level, every move is scrutinized and discussed, which makes everyone feel very
pressured. There’s a lot of competition to get chosen for the team and sometimes I got
substituted. When I played last year, I would look at the subs sitting on the sidelines and not
really care, but when I started to become one myself I had a whole new perspective on the
game. Now I realize that when you’re not the best at a sport it doesn’t seem as much fun as
when you’re a top player. I left the team earlier this year, as the pressure of playing in
matches was too much; it was becoming a frustration instead of a recreation. I still enjoy
playing netball with my friends in gym classes, when I can relax without worrying about
impressing my coach all the time.
C. I was good at football and I really enjoyed playing left back in the school team. Then one
Saturday when I was 14, I went to watch the local ice hockey team play. It was so exciting
and became a real turning point in my life. School football seems so dull in comparison. I
discovered that there was a local women’s ice hockey team just being set up. At first, the

coach thought I was too young and too inexperienced as I’d only done occasional fun skating
on Saturday afternoons. But she agreed to give me a trial and I have been playing for three


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

years now. I’ll really find out what I can do in June when we go to take part in a women’s
international ice hockey competition in Prague.
D. I knew I was serious about rugby when I scored a try in my first game. I was named
‘player of the year’ at my club last year and I’m also captain of my school team. My uncle
often comes to watch me play. He’s very competitive so that is probably why I am too. Losing
makes me feel that I’ve done something wrong. It doesn’t happen very often, though. I’m not
normally an aggressive person but, on the rugby pitch, I am. I don’t think girls should play
rugby as it’s so aggressive and they could easily get injured. Most of my schoolmates play
rugby and all of them are sporty. I can’t really imagine my life without rugby! I’m going to
agricultural college when I leave school and eventually will take over my uncle’s farm, but l
hope there’ll still be time for lots of rugby. If I have a son, I’ll want to help coach his team
and I’d be disappointed if he wasn’t interested in sports. I’ll definitely be a competitive dad!
For questions 71–80 locate the paragraph in which the following information is mentioned.
Write the letter of each paragraph in the corresponding boxes.
71. He / She thinks winning is the most important thing
72. He / She feel their sport has both a positive and negative impact on their social life
73. He / She thinks that their sport may be inappropriate for a particular group of people
74. He / She has changed their mind about participating in competitive sport
75. He / She has long-term plans which include continued involvement in their sport
76. He / She is realistic about their chances of being very successful
77. He / She thinks playing their sport changes their character
78. He / She is looking forward to a new challenge
79. He / She has friends locally who share their passion for sport
80. He / She thinks it is easier to perform well in their sport when they are calm.

Part 4: For questions 81-85, choose the correct heading for paragraphs A-G from the list of
headings below. Write the correct numbers (i- x) in the corresponding numbered boxes.
There is an example at the beginning (0) ( 1 mark)
Tobacco Industry Fumes over Passive Smoking
A

America’s tobacco industry has launched a fresh assault in its war against the anti-

smoking movement. Six tobacco groups are suing the US Environmental Protection Agency,
claiming that its recent report on the dangers of second- hand smoke is based on sloppy
science and is unfairly damaging their trade. Anti- smoking groups say the lawsuit is a
Canute- like attempt to stem a tide of anti- smoking legislation sweeping the US.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

B

In January, the EPA released a long- awaited report on passive smoking. It considered

more than 30 studies around the world that compared the incidence of lung cancer in nonsmoking woman whose husbands smoked with that in those whose husbands did not. The
report included that wives of smokers had a higher risk of developing lung cancer, and that
the risk increased with the amount of smoke inhaled. Passive smoking causes 3,000 deaths a
year from lung cancer in the US alone, it said. On the basic of this and other evidence- for
instance, that smoke is clearly carcinogenic when inhaled directly- the EPA added
environmental tobacco smoke to its list of known human carcinogens. The report also
concluded that second- hand smoke aggravates asthma and causes respiratory illness and ear
infections in children.
C


The tobacco industry countered that the study was shoddy and misleading,

characterized by “ a preference for political correctness over sound science”. The tobacco
groups pointed out that the increased incidence of lung cancer was seen only when the
statistical test was relaxed from the usual 95 per cent confidence to a less rigorous 90 per cent.
They also accused the EPA of ignoring several studies that the contradict the agency’s
conclusion.
D

On 22 June, the six groups- Philip Morris, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco and four groups

representing growers and retailers- jointly sued the EPA to have the study declares null and
avoid, and to throw out human carcinogen classification, which they claim goes beyond the
EPA’s legal mandate. “ Unfortunately, it is the tobacco farmers, their families and the
communities who- if the EPA is not stopped- will have to pay for this misguided actions”,
says John Berry, a lawyer for the Council for Burley Tobacco of Lexington, Kentucky.
E

The EPA stands by its report. “ We’ve been hearing them for years”, says spokesman

Dave Ryan. “ We think the suit is frivolous”. Major medical groups also back the report.
“ This lawsuit is just another example of tobacco conglomerates blowing smoke in the faces
of American”, says Lonnie Bristow, chair of the American Medical Association’s Board of
Trustees. “ An industry that kills 450,000 citizens every year cannot be trusted”.
F

The charge of scientific manipulation is unfounded, says Morton Lippmann, a lung

expert from New York University who chaired an external review of the EPA report. The 90
per cent confidence limit is reasonable given the difficulties of studying second- hand smoke,

he says, as was the omission of some recent studies. “ You could wait forever for this study
and the next study”, he says. In fact, the additional studies they’re so anxious to include
couldn’t possibly change the conclusion. The omitted study most often cited by the tobacco
industry found a 30 per cent increase in the risk of lung cancer in passive smokers exposed to


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

the highest levels of smoke. Lippmann also notes that the EPA report, while the most
complete, is not the first study to conclude that passive smoking increases the risk of cancer.

ARE YOU A MACHINE OF MANY PARTS?
What will future historians remember about the impact of science during the last
decade of the 20th century? They will not be much more concerned with many of the marvels
that currently preoccupy us, such as the miraculous increase in the power of home computer
and the unexpected growth of the Internet. Nor will they dwell much on global warming, the
loss of biodiversity and other examples of our penchant for destruction. Instead, the end of the
20th century will be recognized as the time when, for better or worse, science began to bring
about the fundamental shift in our perception of ourselves.

It will be the third time that science has force us to re- evaluate who we are. The first
time, of course, was the revolution that began with Copernicus in 1543 and continued with
Kepler, Galileo and Newton. Despite the Church’s opposition, we came to realize that the
Earth does not lie at the centre of the universe. Instead, we gradually found we live on a small


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

planet on the edge of a minor galaxy, circling one star in a universe that contains billions of
others. Our unique position in the universe was gone forever.
A few centuries later, we were moved even further from stage centre. The Darwinian
revolution removed us from our position as a unique creation of God. Instead, we discovered
we were just another part of the animal kingdom proud to have “ a miserable ape for a
grandfather”, as Thomas Huxley put it in 1860. We know now just how close to the apes we
are- over 90% of our genes are the same as those of the chimpanzee.
Increasing knowledge of our own genetics, is one of the driving force in the third great
conceptual shift that will soon take place. Others are the growing knowledge of the way our
minds work, our new ability to use knowledge of the nervous system to design drugs that
affect specific states of mind and the creation of the sophisticated scanners which enable us to
see what is happening inside our brains. In the third revolution, we are taking our own selves
to pieces and finding the parts which make up the machine that is us.
Much of the new knowledge from genetics, molecular biology and the neuro- sciences
is esoteric. But its cultural impact is already running ahead of science. People begin to see
themselves not as wholes with a moral centre but the result of the combined action of parts for
which they have little responsibility.
It’s Nobody’s Fault is the title of the popular American book on “ difficult” children.
Many different children, the book explains, are not actually difficult but are suffering from
Attention Deficit Disorder ( ADD). There is nothing wrong with them or the way they have
been brought up. Rather the part of the brain which controls attention is short of a particular
neurotransmitter.

ADD is currently the world’s fastest growing psychological problem. In the United
States, a survey show that 1.5m children between the ages of five and eighteen were being
treated with a drug, Ritalin, for the disorder. Since then the number taking the drug is believed
to have doubled.
You might, as many people do, question the way in which the disorder has been
diagnosed on such a staggering scale. But that is not the point. The cultural shift is that people
are not responsible for the disorders, only for obtaining treatment for t parts of them that have
gone wrong.
The more we know about the parts of ourselves, the more cures for our defects will
appear. Prozac is one example. The best- selling Listen to Prozac claimed the drug “ can
transform pessimists into optimists, turn loners into extroverts”. And Prozac, the book
explained, “ was not so much discovered as planfully created, through the efforts of a large


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

pharmaceutical firm… the likely result of this form of research is not medicines that correct
particular illnesses but medicines that affect clusters of functions in the human brain.”
Even when a treatment is not to hand, the notion that we are made of “ clusters of
functions” remains strong. Genetic analysis supports this view. A gene linked to alcoholism
has been located and a Gallup poll has revealed that the great majority of Americans consider
alcoholism to be a disease. There are claims of genes too for obesity, homosexuality and even
for laziness.
Some claims about genes may be silly. Or you may think that the current conceptual
shift is just a re- run of old arguments about the relative roles of nature and nurture. Instead,
take one drug, Viagra, as an example of the new way of thinking about ourselves. If you
suffer from impotence, it might have a variety of physiological causes. Or you might just be
anxious about sexual performance. But Viagra does not make such fine distinctions: it acts at
the level of the chemical reactions that control the blood flow needed to maintain an erection.
Once we can dissect ourselves into parts and know how the parts work, it really does

not matter what was the initial cause of the problem. If you own a car and the brakes wear out
quickly, it is not important whether you’ve been driving the car too hard or you bought cheap
brake shoes to begin with. You just need to change the brakes.
The more direct means we have of changing who we are, through changing the parts
that we are composed of, the harder becomes the question of who was the person who made
the decision to change, before becoming someone else. This will be the real issue for the 21th
century: who are we, if we are the sum of our parts and science has given us the power to
change those parts?
