12、. Then a door beneath him opened, and the accused man stepped (22) into the arena. Directly opposite him were two doors, exactly (23) and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the (24) on trial to walk directly to these (25) and open one of them. He (26) open either door he pleased; he
13、was subject to no (27) or influence. If he opened the one, there came out of it a hungry tiger, the (28) and most cruel that could be found, which (29) sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment for his guilt.

19、oor people in Bihar. His campaign to encourage people to plant trees effectively addresses two burning issues of the world: global warming and shrinking job opportunities.Mr Raju s success could clearly be seen on 30 August, 2009 when he organized 300,000 villagers from over 7,500 villages in northe
20、rn Bihar to engage in a mass tree planting ceremony.Mr Raju has linked his “social forestry“ program to the central government s National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), which is also designed to provide employment for poor people. Under NREGA - started in February 2006 as the government s m
21、ost ambitious employment generation scheme for poor people - the authorities are bound by law to provide a minimum of 100 days of employment a year for members of families living below the poverty line. About 44% of Bihar s population fall into this category.Mr Raju says that Bihar - being the poore
22、st and most lawless state of India - hasnt been able to spend the allocated (分配的) NREGA funds. “This is because of a lack of awareness among officials about the scheme,“ he said. “So the idea struck to my mind: why not involve families below the poverty line in social forestry and give them employme
23、nt under this scheme for 100 days? Under the scheme, each family can earn a minimum of 10,200 rupees ($210).“The civil servant immediately made a plan of his idea. In June, Mr Raju published a booklet of “dos and don ts“ and distributed it to village heads. His plan meant that NREGA funds were fully
24、 used - in the past this hasn t always been the case.“I told the villagers they would get 100 days employment in a year simply by planting trees and protecting them. The old and disabled would be given preference,“ he explained.Every village council has now been given a target of planting 50,000 sap
25、lings - a group of four families have to plant 200 trees and they must protect them for three years till the plants grow stronger.“They would get the full payment if they can ensure the survival of 90% of the plants under their care. For a 75-80% survival rate, they ll be paid only half the wage. Fo
26、r less than 75%, the families in the group will be replaced,“ the guidelines say.Significantly, his scheme has even stopped the migration of poor labourers from the area in search of employment elsewhere.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, the main purpose of SM Raju s “social forestry“ program
27、is to_A. promote the practice of NREGAB. make efforts to prevent global warmingC. increase the employment of poor peopleD. prevent poor people from migrating elsewhere（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, the poor people in Bihar don t make full use of NREGA funds becauseA. the local offici
28、als dont realize the importance of NREGAB. the local government doesn t get enough support from the central governmentC. the local poor people know little about NREGAD. Bihar is the most lawless state in India（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).We can infer from the passage thatA. most people in Bihar will benefit
29、 from NREGAB. the old and disabled people are not involved in tree plantingC. families who cant ensure 75% survival rate of the trees will not be paidD. Raju s newplan will reduce Bihar s population below the poverty line（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What is the main idea of the passage?A. There s a good way
30、 to deal with global warmingB. Tree planting provides employment for the poorC. Tree planting solves the problem of unemploymentD. Raju s “social forestry“ program wins the support of NREGA（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.It was when I was attending high school that I first read Asimov s stories. At the time, a few
31、 SF magazines began to introduce this author and translate a few pieces from his “Robot Series“. Of Asimov s works, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Pebble in the Sky. This novel directly influenced my early SF writing.Asimov was one of the leading writers of Western science fictio
32、n s Golden Age, so although his writing may not have a direct influence on writers of today, his underlying (潜在的) influence on many levels is undeniable - the famous Three Laws of Robotics, and many classic writing techniques, for example. Of course, his influence is related to the atmosphere that e
33、xisted in the Golden Age; a science fiction writer today has a hard time reaching that level no matter how outstanding he or she is. Asimov s novels are marked by a fully integrated logical system, and his stories are a pleasure to read - this is the reason his novels still attract readers today. Na
34、turally, Western science fiction has few people these days who follow Asimov s creative methods; instead they are closely connected to mainstream artistic trends, employing large amounts of postmodern techniques. This type of science fiction has a hard time blossoming on Chinese soil. The majority o
35、f Chinese SF readers would rather read the classic works of Asimov. This is an important question that faces today s Chinese science fiction writers.Compared with the “Robot Series“, Asimov s “Foundation Series“ is a little less well-known in China. This is mostly due to the large influence of the T
36、hree Laws, and moreover, the Foundation novels have never been completely introduced here. In fact, the Foundation series creates an entire world, even grander than that of the “Robot Series“; this science fiction epic (史诗) had a direct influence on later Western science fiction, the most famous exa
37、mple being Star Wars.（分数：12.00）(1).We can know from the passage that the author is a _A. science fiction writer B. science fiction publisherC. high school student D. novel translator（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The Three Laws of Robotics are most probably_A. stories written by Asimov B. writing techniques e
38、mployed by AsimovC. techniques to build robots D. characters in Asimov s science fiction（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The main purpose of the passage is to_A. compare Asimov with other science fiction writersB. attract people to read Asimov s storiesC. introduce Asimov s influence on SF writingD. explain why
39、 Asimov is popular in China（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What can be inferred from the passage?A. “Foundation Series“ were translated into Chinese earlier than“Robot Series“B. Science fiction of postmodern style is not popular with Chinese readersC. Asimov is the greatest science fiction writer in Western co
40、untriesD. The writing techniques by Asimov are better than the postrnodern ones（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Communication technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communications media has found that people are twice as likely to t
41、ell lies in phone conversations as they are in E-mails. The fact that E-mails are automatically recorded-and can come back to haunt(困扰) you-appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it
42、they noted the number of conversations or E-mail exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of E-mails, 21 percent of instant messages, 2
43、7 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.His results, to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected E-mails to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception
44、 makes people uncomfortable, the detachment(非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could
45、be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in E-mail than on the phone.People are also more likely to lie in real time-in an instant message or p
46、hone call, say-than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous(脱口而出) responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?“Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instan
47、ce, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his result, work assessment, where honesty is a priority, might be best done using E-mail.（分数：12.00）(1).Hancocks study focuses on_A. the consequences of lying in various communications med
48、iaB. the success of communications technologies in conveying ideasC. people s preference in selecting communications technologiesD. people s honesty levels across a range of communications media（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Hancock s research finding surprised those who believed that_A. people are less likel
49、y to lie in instant messagesB. people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactionsC. people are most likely to lie in E-mail communicationD. people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?A. They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their liesB. They believe that ho
