Nervous uncertainty
surrounds the fate （命运）of US journalist Daniel Pearl ,with no clear communication from his
kidnappers（绑匪）and no sign of his whereabouts after
three separate police searches for his body in the troublesome port city
Karachi ,Pakistan .
Pearl ,a 38—year —old Wall Street Journal reporter ,disappeared two weeks ago on his
way to an interview in Karachi .An email allegedly from his kidnappers
contained four photos of him and a variety of demands ,including one for the
release of Pakistani prisoners being held at the US naval base in Cuba .
The searches were
started last Friday night by an email claiming that Pearl had been killed and
his body thrown “in
the graveyards of Karachi.”
Pearl has worked for
The Wall street Journal for 12 years and is now their South Asia bureau chief
.He was born in Princeton ,New Jersey and graduated from Stanford University
with a bachelor’s degree in communications .
He joined The Wall
Street Journal in November 1990 ,first as a reporter in the Atlanta bureau .In
1993 he moved to the Washington office to cover transportation before beginning
a series of overseas postings .
The members of a
radical （激进的）Islamic group in Pakistan who admit having kidnapped him say Pearl
is a member of the Israeli intelligence service ,Mossad .But Pearl’s employers
have angrily denied （否认）that he is the agent （代理）of any government .
Pearl’s French wife
,Marianne ,is six months pregnant with their first child .
For the past few weeks
the couple have been living in Karachi while Pearl tried to arrange an
interview with Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani ,head of the small militant Islamic
group Tanzeem ul—Fuqra
.
56．We
can see from the text that .
A．Pearl has been murdered B.Pearl has escaped from his kidnappers
C．Pearl is in danger D．Pearl’s fate still remains in question
57．According
to the text ,Pearl most probably disappeared .
A．on January 24,2002 B．on January 26,2002
C．on January 4,2002 D．on January 11,2002
58．Pearl’s
disappearance has something to do with .
A．Tanzeem ul—Fuqra B．a radical Islamic group in Pakistan
C．the US naval base in Cuba. D．the

Student participation（参与）in the classroom is not
only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses .Some professors
base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation .Although
there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role （i.e.，listening and taking notes ）,many courses are organized around classroom discussions ,student
questions ,and informal lectures .In graduate discussions the professor has a “manager”role and the students make
presentations and lead discussions .The students do the actual teaching in
these discussions .
A professor’s teaching
method is another factor（因素）that determines the degree and type of student participation.Some
professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class
without controlling it .Many professors encourage students to question their
ideas .Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared
to prove their positions .
In the teaching of
science and mathematics ,the controlling mode of instruction is generally
traditional ,with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes
.However ,new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social
sciences in the past twenty years .Students in education ,society ,and history classes
,for example ,are often required to solve problems in groups ,design projects
,make presentations ,and examine case studies .Since some college or university
courses are “practical”rather than theoretical ,they pay more attention to “doing”for themselves .
59．“Participation in the classroom is not only accepted
but also expected of the student”in many courses except
in .
A．science and mathematics B．the humanities and social sciences
C．informal lecture courses D．discussion courses
60．From the passage we know that education in the
humanities and society .
A．has not changed much
B．pay attention to students’
studying instead of teachers’ teaching
C．is much more important than
that of science and mathematics
D．has become more practical
than theoretical
61．The reason why some professors ask students to make
presentations and lead discussions is that .
A．these professors are often
not well prepared before class
B．these professors want to
stress “doing”
C．these professors want to
test the students’ abilities
D．these professors are not
willing to teach theory
62．Which
of the following sentences is true according to the passage ？
A．Student participation is
not common in the classroom in many courses like society .
B．Some professors want to control
the classroom discussion
C．Some professors usually
want the students to take part in the teaching of science and mathematics.
D．New educational trends have
turned up in teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry .
Scientists have tried
to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and
girls .
However ,none were
believable enough to explain the general picture .As one scientist points out ,“There are slight genetic（遗传的）differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects
boys and girls choose .But the difficulty is that by the time children reach
school age ,there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to
tell whether girls are worse at science and maths ,or whether they’ve been brought
up to think of these subjects as boys‘territory’.”
Statistics（统计数据）show that in
mathematics ,at least ,girls are equal to boys .A recent report suggests that
girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes .One of the
reports’ authors says ,“While it is socially
unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write ,it is still
acceptable for women to say that they are ‘hopeless’at maths.Our research shows
that ,although girls get marks which are as good as the boys’ ,they have not
been encouraged to do so.”
The explanation for
the difference ,which is very clear during the teenage years ,goes as far back
as early childhood experiences .From their first days in nursery school ,girls
are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks ,although boys are
.For example ,boys and not girls ,are often asked to ‘help’ with repair work
.This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on
in life .Evidence（证据）shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have
teachers who supplied answers; they had to find out for themselves .
A further report on
maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to
girls .
Most teachers who took
part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at
mathematics and science subjects than their female students .All of this tends
to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects ,gives them confidence （信心）and makes them believe
that they can succeed.
Interestingly ,both
boys and girls tend to regard such ‘male’subjects like mathematics and science
as difficult .Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses
,not because they are difficult ,but for social reasons .
Mathematics and
science are mainly male subjects ,and therefore ,as girls become teenagers
,they are less likely to take them up .Girls do not seem to want to be in open
competition with boys .Neither do they want to do better than boys because they
are afraid to appear less females and so ,less attractive .
63．The underlined word “territory”in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.
A．interest B．area of
land C．special field D．district
64．According
to scientific studies , .
A．maths is not fit for girls
to learn
B．boys have a special sense of maths
C．girls are poorer at maths
because they are the weaker sex
D．girls can learn maths as
well as boys if given enough encouragement
65．Those who made extraordinary contribution in
mathematics and science .
A．usually had good teachers
to help them
B．had the abilities to solve
problems by themselves
C．usually worked harder than
others
D．were encouraged to repair
things when young
66．Which
of the following is not true according to the text ？
A．It seems socially
acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write
B．It is a social problem
rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at
maths
C．Mathematics and science are
no easy subjects to either girls or boys
D．There is no connection
between a girl’s ability in maths and her appearance
67．What
would be the best title for the text ？
A．Who’s Afraid of Maths
Anyway ？
B．Are Boys Cleverer than
Girls ？
C．Boys Are Better at Maths
than Girls by Birth
D．Maths —A Difficult Subject
The next time you try
for a high —ranking
post ,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending （推荐）phone call “made”by
US President George W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair .
Of course ,neither of
them could really do that for you —you would just “borrow”their voices .
AT & T labs will
start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds
of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long —dead famous people back to
life .
The software ,which
turns printed text into speech ,makes it possible for a company to use
recordings of a person’s voice to say things that the person never actually
said .
Possible customers for
the software ,which is priced in the thousands of dollars, include telephone
call centers ,companies that make software that reads digital（数学的）files aloud ,and makers
of automated voice devices（装置）.The advances raise
several problems .Who ,for example ,owns the rights to a famous person’s voice？（Some experts even believe that new contracts （合同）will be drawn that include voice—licensing
clauses.）
And although
scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud （假冒）,would the synthesized（合成的）voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were
getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know ？
Even Mr Fruchterman
,one of AT & T lab’s possible first customers ,said he wondered what the
new technology might bring .“Just like you can’t trust a photograph anymore .”he said ,“you won’t be able to trust a voice
either .”
68．With
the help of the speech software ,it is most possible .
A．to improve a famous
person’s speech
B．to say what you want in
another’s voice
C．to make a speech much more
easily
D．to help you to find a
better job
69．If
the speech software were widely used , .
A．people would no longer
believe each other
B．it would not be necessary
to go for a speech by a famous person
C．no radio or TV broadcasters
would be needed
D．recording of a voice alone
would not be taken as a proof in the court
70．According
to the passage ,you can infer that .
A．the software will turn out
to be an immediate success in the market
B．the government will forbid
the sale of the software in the market
C．it’s hard to decide whether
the software will enjoy popularity
D．the software will soon
prove to be nothing but rubbish
71．The
passage mainly wants to .
A．introduce a new software
B．explain the disadvantage of a new invention
B．advertise a new kind of product
C．D．describe the future market of a new product
Although they may not
In die from lack of love ,adults also need a great amount of affection（友情）and companionship .It
the past ,many people spent their entire lives in the communities in which they
were born and raised .Many more people continued to live with their parents
,brothers and sisters after they were married and had children of their own .By
remaining in familiar communities with relatives nearby ,families had enough
opportunities for friendly contact and support in time of trouble .
Recent studies suggest that family
arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few
centuries as is generally believed .Yet most sociologists agree that in modem
societies ,there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from
relatives outside the immediate family .Parents and children often live apart
from other relatives ,and seldom visit them .Also ,the family moves when a
parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better
neighborhood .Together ,loneliness and mobility （迁移）force immediate family members to depend heavily on
one another for affection and companionship .
Because the family is
one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modem
societies ,a high percentage of people continue to marry ,even though it is
possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying .On the
other hand ,because affection and companionship have become so important
,families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional （情感的）needs are not met
within the family circle—even if all other family
functions （功能）are being satisfactorily performed ,and
in this sense ,affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modern family.
72．It
is generally believed that .
A．many people spend their
lives in familiar communities
B．a person can easily get in
touch with relatives in times of difficulty
C．the organization of the
family has changed a great deal
D．western societies have not
changed much in the past few years
73．Sociological
studies show that .
A．the more the family moves
,the less support it gets from its distant relatives
B．parents and children live
together to make up for the lack of relatives outside the family
C．family arrangements have
changed and so there is little need for companion of relatives
D．family members are
separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives
74．The
word“touchstone”in the last
paragraph may be replaced by .
A．result B．trouble C．function D．standard
75．In
the last paragraph ,the writer mainly wants to say .
A．affection and companionship
are important for the family and they can be gained from nowhere but the family
B．affection and companionship
can come from the family and at the same time safeguard the family .
C．there are few ways to gain
affection and companionship but the best way to get them is from the family
D．in modern societies a lot
of families break up and it’s just for a lack of affection and companionship .
