There are countries _(1)_ the white
2、man imposes his rude by brute (粗) force; there are countries where the black man protests by _(2)_ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging (抢夺). Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in _(3)_ of violence as if it were a l
3、egitimate (合法的) solution, _(4)_ any other. What is really frightening, what really _(5)_ you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch (关键时刻), we have made no actual _(6)_ at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our insticts remain basically unchanged.
4、The whole of the recorded _(7)_ of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that _(8)_ never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering _(9)_ nothing. No solution ever comes to
5、_(10)_ the morning after when we dismally (阴郁地) contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who _(11)_ where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted _(12)_ their own kind because they ad

9、ized computer that lets him watch movies, surf the Interact and text-message his friends. Hes part of “Generation M“those born after 1985 who _(16)_ up connected to everything from video game to cellphones. “For us, its everyday life,“ said Juarez, 18, a freshman _(17)_ California State University a
10、t Sacramento (CSUS). _(18)_ , educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information theyre accessing. “Theyre geeky, but they dont know what to _(19)_ with their geekdom. “ said Barbara OConnor, a Sacramento State communications studies professor who has been

About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, _(23)_ to 6,300 college students across the country. The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Ser

It is a web-based scavenger hunt _(24)_ simulated Interact search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information. “Theyre very good at _(25)_ in and using the Internet, but dont always understand what they get back,“ said Linda Goff, head of instructional service
14、s for the CSUS library. “You see an open search box, you type in a few words and you _(26)_ the button,“ said Goff, who is involved in the testing. “They take at face value _(27)_ shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff. “ Educators say that these sloppy research skills are troubling. “We

Measuring how well students can “sort the good _(29)_ the bad“ on the Internet has become a higher priority
16、 for CSU, Roth said. CSU is considering _(30)_ a mandatory assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s.

19、day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melt
20、ed more than usual and so the body had come to the surface. It was lying face downward. The skeleton (骨架) was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the fe
21、et there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark (树皮) and a holder for arrows. Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a sol
22、dier who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much
23、older, maybe even a thousand years old. With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5, 300 years old. Born in about 3300 B. C. , he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in th
24、e high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back
25、 of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself. By studying his clothes and tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times
26、 he lived in. we may never know the full story of how he died, but he has give us important clues to the history of those distant times.（分数：5.00）(1).The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because _.（分数：1.00）A.he was lying on the iceB.he was just on a mountain passC.two Germans were

30、a, approximately 80 percent of the population is illiterate. That percentage is even higher in woman. As in many developing countries, many Eritreans have traditional ideas about the role of women. They believe that women should stay home and take care of the family and should not get an education o
31、r look for a job. These beliefs are one of the factors that prevent Eritriea and other developing countries from improving their economic situation. Experience in many developing countries has shown that educated women have fewer children and have more opportunities for improving their lives and the
32、 lives of their families. In Eritrea, in fact, there is great need for improvement. It is one of the poorest countries in the world. For many Eritrean families, getting enough food is a daily problem. To deal with these problems, the Eritrean government together with the World Food Program, has a ne
33、w program that offers food as a reward for learning. In primary schools, all the children receive food packages to take home to their families. However, with the new program, the girls receive more food than the boys. This way, parents are encouraged to send their daughter to school rather than keep
34、ing them at home. Another government program that aims to educate women is Food for Training. Managed by the National Union of Eritrean Women, this program offer food rewards (also from World Food Organization) to women and elder girls who are willing to join the program. Because of the war with Eth
35、iopia, many women are bringing up their families on their own. They often live in refugee camps, with no land of their own and no way to earn money. Most of these women are illiterate and have no skills to find a job. They spend most of their day looking for food and preparing it for their families.
36、 The Food for Training program helps the tennagers and women change their lives. If they agree to join the program, they receive a large package of food each month. In return, the women are required to attend free literate classes for two hours every day. When Food for Training classes in two region
37、s of Eritrea, 5000 girls and women joined in the first two months. It is especially popular with teenage girls, aged fourteen to sixteen, who have never had a chance to go to school before. The organizers of Food for Traing also plans to offer other kinds of courses for women, using the same system
38、of food rewards. In these courses, they will teach women job skills and crafts such as basket weaving. These women will not only learn to read and write. They will become aware of what is going on in their country.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the passage, traditional ideas about women _.（分数：1.00）A.are

43、ion. People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting, metropolitan atmosphere. Squares, plazas (广场) and arcades (拱廊) form the heart of Europes cities. Venice in Italy has the Plazza San Marco a beautiful square surrounded by sho
44、ps, churches, restaurants and cafs. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. Londons Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians, acrobats (杂技演员) and artists by night. The government buildings at the cen
45、ter of many cities often are architecturally impressive. In London, they serve as a beautiful backdrop (北) to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames. These vibrant (有活力的) hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and Wor
46、ld Report recently. “The reason people think Venice is so great today is you dont see all the mistakes, “ said Garreau, “Those have all been removed. “ Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars, restaurants and cafes were near to peoples homes. Today, the focus of m
47、any Europeans life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention, there are still those who hold onto traditional ways, living and shopping locally. These people together wit
48、h tourists, provide the city centers with the reason for existence. Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espress
49、os (浓咖啡) and cigarettes. Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People In Roman Catholic countries used to visit the church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets, cafes and bars in the surrounding streets. An enormous example of this relationship between chur
