The rad t a Nbel Prize, the mst respected scientific award in the wrld, is grwing ever lnger, with
almst half f winners nw waiting mre than 20 years frm making a Nbel-wrthy discvery t receiving the
prize.
第 5页/共 13页
One analysis shws that the average time between publishing the wrk and receiving ne f the science prizes
has nearly dubled in the past 60 years. Acrss the three science prizes, chemistry nw has the lngest “Nbel lag”-
an average f 30 years ver the past decade- and physilgy r medicine has the shrtest, at 26 years.
Alfred Nbel’s will stated that the prizes shuld be awarded “t thse wh, during the previus year, shall
have given the greatest benefit t mankind.” In reality this has nly happened a few times. But in the first half f
the twentieth century, it was cmmn fr Nbel prize winners t be in their 30s and that is unheard f nw, says
Sant Frtunat, nw a cmputatinal scial scientist at Indiana University.
There are a number f pssible reasns fr this, says Yian Yin, a cmputatinal scial scientist at Crnell
University. It culd be that the verall number f breakthrughs is increasing each year, s awards cannt keep up
with the number f peple wh deserve t be recgnized, he says. It is als the case that the imprtance f sme
wrks, which Yin describes as “sleeping beauties” are nly realized years r decades later. Besides, the lengthening
gap culd be a sign that there has been a decrease in “disruptive” science -imprtant studies r discveries that
change the paradigm (范式) f their field. This culd be causing the Nbel cmmittees t fcus mre n the past.
Frtunat pints ut that, if the gap cntinues t grw, utstanding scientists culd miss ut n the award
wing t the Nbel Cmmittee’s rule banning psthumus prizes (追授奖项). “It has t stp at sme pint,” he
says, adding that a rethink f the psthumus-awarding ban wuld allw mre peple’s wrk t get the recgnitin
that it deserves.
8. Why des the writer mentin the numbers in the first tw paragraphs?
A. T explain a rule. B. T present a fact.
C. T give an pinin. D. T make a predictin.
9. Wh can receive the Nbel accrding t Alfred Nbel’s will?
A. Experts wh are in their thirties.
B. Teachers wh study cmputer science.
C. Researchers whse name has nt been heard f.
D. Scientists whse discvery benefits humans mst.
10. Why might be a cause f the Nbel lag?
A. The change in standards. B. The requirement f the award.
C. The increase in breakthrughs. D. The traditin f the cmmittees.
11. What des Frtunat suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Recnsidering the current rule. B. Establishing a better cmmittee.

In mst theretical mdels examining hw reputatins impact peple’s desire t cperate with ne anther,
reputatins are defined as either gd r bad, based n limited infrmatin. These mdels have typically assumed
that a single actin determines smene’s reputatin.
There is a lt f infrmatin available abut peple’s behavir in tday’s wrld, especially with scial media.
A research by bilgy prfessr Jeshua Pltkin’s team shwed that lking at multiple actins and frgiving sme
bad actins is a methd f judging behavir that is sufficient t sustain cperatin, a methd they call “lk twice,
frgive nce.”
The basic idea in this study is that if yu bserve tw interactins f smebdy and at least ne f them is an
actin that yu wuld cnsider gd, then yu cperate with that persn, but therwise yu reject them.
The research pints ut that even if different peple in a sciety subscribe t different standards f judgment,
“lk twice, frgive nce” still generates sufficient cnsensus t prmte cperatin. Pltkin says that this methd
maintains cperatin withut referring t reputatins released by public institutins It ffers an imprtant
alternative when public institutins exist but decrease f trust in them prevents cperatin.
Pltkin says all researchers were surprised that the “lk twice, frgive nce” strategy culdn’t be displaced
by ther strategies, such as always cperating r always rejecting, lking at mre than tw actins frm a persn,
r frgiving a different prprtin f “bad actins”. Perhaps mst surprisingly lking mre than twice didn’t
generate an additinal benefit. “Infrmatin turned ut t be a dubles edged swrd, s that even, when
infrmatin was freely accessible, individuals were typically unable t use all f it,” he adds.
Pltkin ntes that the verall simplicity and reliability f their findings indicate that this behaviral strategy
might be ld in human scieties. The researchers see ptential fr anthrplgists (人类学家) and behaviral
scientists t build n their wrk.
12. Hw des Pltkin’s methd f judging behavir-A differ frm prir mdels?
A. It relies mainly n scial media.
B. It emphasizes public reputatin.
C. It requires less persnal infrmatin.
D. It takes int accunt mre behavirs.
13. What can be inferred abut the “lk twice” methd?
A. It bradens the definitin f reputatin.
第 7页/共 13页
B. It develps alternative ways t cperate.
C. It encurages cncentratin n gd behavirs.
D. It aims t prvide a slutin t scial prblems.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cnsensus” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Agreement.
B. Resurces.
C. Mtivatin.
D. Benefits.
15 What is paragraph 5 mainly abut cncerning the “lk twice” strategy?
A. Its effectiveness.
B. Its applicatin.
C. Its disadvantages.
D. Its influence.
