22、ith similar packages with a deadly poison that evaporates into gas. The March 20, 1995, attack killed 12 and sent 5500 to hospitals. The criminals were members of an association called Shinrikyo, which was formed in 1987 to convince it people that the end of the world is at hand.In the United States

23、, shocked by super-terrorism, the Congress has authorized $65 million toestablish regional response units and train local emergency workers in anti-terrorist chemical andbiological incidents. The FBI hostage-rescue team has been expanded. Such efforts must continue because we are really unprepared.

24、In April 1995, when New York simulated a Tokyo-style subway gas attack, over 100 emergency personnel arriving at the scene were declared dead.”A reward may have helped capture the world s most dangerous terrorist, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef,who is accused of masterminding the World Trade Center bomb explosi

25、on. The FBI advertised a $2 million reward for his capture. In January 1995 Yousef was mixing explosives in his kitchen in Manila when his mixture began to smoke, attracting firefighters and police. They found a computer file detailing an elaborate plot to blow up a dozen American airliners in a two

26、-day period. But Yousef had disappeared. A month later agents burst into Yousef room and arrested him. A federal jury last September convicted Yousef for plotting to bomb the American airliners; he faces life in prison without parole.As Alecksandr Solzhenitsyn, FBI officer said, “All forms of terror

It

31、 surprising, but true. The experiment which was conducted in Princeton University has clearly proved how parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children / s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child s lan

32、guage skills increase.A study was done with two- to three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they we

33、re taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “ Whatis the doggie doing? ” rather than, “Is the doggie running away? ” ExpeeiiateotMstaretes wer how to expand on their children s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to p

34、raisecorrect answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of one month the children in the experimental group tested month ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the childr

35、en in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the control group.Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.Active children would be likely to read more.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.D.

39、 imitation reminds me that I ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence. For example I remember a woman who was head of an infants school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children wer

40、e in the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to intervene before the child was hanged. I remember a film of no particular merit in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by killing his gu

41、ard, the technique being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we should cut for these reasons.In films for young people we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of wire, or how to open a safe; if we were co

42、nsulted before production I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film censorship I invariably had full support for this; since fathers who were in prison for criminal offenses did not want their children to embark on crime.Every time I gave a talk i

43、n a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jewelers shop, the robbery sequence lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound one of the most brilliant film sequences of all tim

44、e. I remember our discussions at the time. We took into account the fact that the robbery was accomplished only with the use of elaborate and obviously expensive equipment, and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relativel

45、y safe. When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.In the first paragraph, the writer presented an example just to.A. stop children from fighting togetherB. intervene before the child was

46、hangedC. show how dangerous scenes affected kidsD. indicate how terrible todays children wereThe passage indicates that the writer of this passage is in favor of that TV programs and films should be.A. remade in details/ B. censored to some extentC. stopped for a while/D. be kept away from childrenW

47、hich of the following is Not true?The writer lectured to prisoners from time to time.Fathers in prison didnt want their children to follow them.A succession of a robbery in a film lasted about half an hour. Z/D. Children of the criminals often commit crimes.The write r realized that people s belief

48、was wrong because.a complicated robbery happened at the same time of the showcriminals accomplished a difficult robbery with easy techniquescriminals succeeded in imitating a complicated robberyrobbers learned the techniques from reports quicklyThe profession of the person who wrote this passage is

49、probably a.A. detective story writerB. policeman of a prisonC. government officerD. social activistPassage FourThough harvesting ice is not a new concept, now it has been considered in a new way. Long time ago some clever people wanted to use the ice for drinking water by shipping it from the areas

50、where there was a lot of ice to the areas where there was a water shortage. Recently scientists in the United States have been studying this idea of harvesting ice as a possible solution to the problem of the declining fresh water supply, which is happening in many parts of the world. According to t

51、he statistics which is presented by Stanford Water Supply Institute, ninety percent of the earth s freshicecap of Antarctica. If only 10 percent of that ice could be drawn to civilization, it could provide water for 500 million people. But the problem, of course, is one of melting. How can a huge ic

52、eberg be dragged across the sea without melting?The answer could lie in enclosing the floating ice in a huge cylindrical container made of a high-strength synthetic fabric. If the iceberg were pushed into the fabric container, which is opened at both ends, then the ends could be sealed and the sea w

53、ater pulled out. After that it could be drawn tocivilization. The melting rate would be slowed down and the synthetic net would act as a holding tank for the water. Engineering this project, which might include a container up to one kilometer in length and 100 meters in diameter, would be a feat, bu

54、t engineers say it is possible. After all, fishermen in North Australia sometimes use nets 8 kilometers long and 20 meters across. If this idea could be put into practice, the worldwide water shortage could be diminished.What is the main subject of this passage?A. The declining water supply on earth

55、.B. Fresh water in the Antarctic.C. A solution to fresh water needs.D. The making of a synthetic water container.How does the author propose to transport the ice?A. By carrying it.B. By melting it. C. By piping it.D. By pulling it.According to the passage, the purpose of the fabric container is to.A

56、. protect the iceB. diminish the speed of meltingC. cause the ice to floatD. pump out the sea waterThe word feat in Line 15 is most similar in meaning to wh ice following?A. Expensive undertaking B. Difficult task. C. Disagreeable job. D. Critical step.The purpose of the last sentence but one is to.

57、A. reinforce the feasibility of the projectB. compare fishermen to engineersC. Contrast iceberg containers and fishing netsD. define the size of the containerSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read several excerpts from newspapers and/or magazines. These excerpts are followed

58、by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET .Excerpt 1:/What does an economist think of that? A lot depends on whether the economist is a man or a woman. A new study showsa large gender gap on econ

59、omic policy among the nation s professional economists, a divide similar and in some cases bigger than the gender divide found in the general public. Differences extend to core professional belief such as the effect of minimum wage laws not just matters of political opinion.Excerpt 2:Opinion differe

60、nces between men and women are well-documented in the general public. President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 percentage points among women. Romney leadsObama by 3 percentage points among men, according to the latest Gallup Poll. Excerpt 3:Liberal economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for E
