25、(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Crossing Wesleyan Universitys campus usually requires walking over colorful messages chalked on the ground. They can be as innocent as meeting announcements, but in a growing number of cases the language is meant to shock. Its not uncommon, for instance, to see lewd references to prof
26、essors sexual preferences scrawled across a path or the mention of the word nigger that African-American students say make them feel uncomfortable.In response, officials and students at schools are now debating ways to lead their communities away from forms of expression that offend or harass (侵扰).
27、In the process, theyre butting up against the difficulties of regulating speech at institutions that pride themselves on fostering open debate.Mr. Bennet of Wesleyan says he had gotten used to seeing occasional chalkiness filled with four-letter words. Campus tradition made any horizontal surface no
28、t attached to a building a potential billboard. But when chalkings began taking on a more threatening and lewd tone, Bennet decided to act. “This is not acceptable in a workplace and not acceptable in an institution oil-higher learning,“ Bennet says. For now, Bennet is seeking input about what kind
29、of message-posting policy the school should adopt. The student assembly recently passed a resolution saying the “right to speech comes with implicit responsibilities to respect community standards. “Other public universities have confronted problems this year while considering various ways of regula
30、ting where students can express themselves. At Harvard Law School, the recent controversy was more linked to the academic setting. Minority students there are seeking to curb what they consider harassing speech in the wake of a series of incidents last spring.At a meeting held by the “Committee on H
31、ealthy Diversity“ last week, the schools Black Law Students Association endorsed a policy targeting discriminatory harassment. It would trigger a review by school officials if there were charges of “severe or pervasive conduct“ by students or faculty. The policy would cover harassment based on, but
32、not limited to, factors such as race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, national origin, and ethnicity (种族划分).Boston attorney Harvey Silverglate says other schools have adopted similar harassment policies that are actually speech codes, punishing students for raising certain ideas. “Restricting s
33、tudents from saying anything that would be perceived as very unpleasant by another student continues uninterrupted,“ says Silverglate, who attended the Harvard Law town meeting last week.（分数：6.00）(1).What is the typical scene found in the campus of Wesleyan University?（分数：1.00）A.Pieces of chalk are
34、scattered everywhere on the ground.B.There are some meeting announcements on the billboard.C.All kinds of messages are written on the paths.D.Some people are shocked by the meeting announcements.(2).From the passage we can see that_.（分数：1.00）A.officials and students are debating whether they should

37、for free speechB.cleanse the academic settingC.cut the throat of free speechD.please the moieties(5).What is the policy adopted by many schools after heated debating?（分数：1.00）A.It is for the universities to clamp down on speech concerning racist comments or other forms of inappropriate ideas.B.It is
38、 to teach students to learn how to express themselves more clearly.C.It is to give the minority groups the right to speak freely.D.It is to urge students to discuss problems concerning race, religion, national origin and ethnicity.(6).In the first sentence of Paragraph 5, the word “endorsed“ can be

When he arrived, he found villagers working and reading around battery powered lamps equipped with light-em
40、itting diodes, or LEDsthe same lamps he had left there in 2000.Irvine-Halliday, an American photonics engineer, was not surprised. He chose to use LED bulbs because they are rugged, portable, long-lived, and extremely efficient. Each of his lamps produces a useful amount of illumination from just on
41、e watt of power. Villagers use them about four hours each night, then top off the battery by pedaling a generator for half an hour. The cool, steady beam is a huge improvement over lamps still common in developing countries. In fact, LEDs have big advantages over familiar incandescent (白炽的) lights a
42、s well-so much so that Irvine-Halliday expects LEDs will eventually take over from Thomas Edisons old light bulb as the worlds main source of artificial illumination.The dawn of LEDs began about 40 years ago, but early LEDs produced red or green glows suitable mainly for displays in digital clocks a
43、nd calculators. A decade ago, engineers invented a semiconductor crystal made of an aluminum compound that produced a much brighter red light. Around the same time, a Japanese engineer developed the first practical blue LED. This small advance had a huge impact because blue, green, and red LEDs can
44、be combined to create most of the colors of the rainbow, just as that in a color television picture.These days, high-intensity color LEDs are showing up everywhere such as the traffic lights. The reasons for the rapid switchover are simple. Incandescent bulbs have to be replaced annually, but LED tr
45、affic lights should last five to ten years. LEDs also use 80 to 90 percent less electricity than the conventional signals they replace. Collectively, the new traffic lights save at least 400 million kilowatt-hours a year in the United States.Much bigger savings await if LEDs can supplant Mr. Edisons
46、 bulb at the office and in the living room. Creating a white-light LED that is energy-saving, cheap and appealing has proved a tough engineering challenge. But all the major lightbulb makersincluding General Electric, Philips, and Osram-Sylvania-are teaming up with semiconductor manufacturers to mak
47、e it happen.（分数：6.00）(1).From the first paragraph, we can see that Dave Irvine-Halliday_.（分数：1.00）A.is a mountain climberB.went to that village to repair the lampsC.found the villagers were using the lamps he had given themD.has visited the small village several times(2).The author implies that vill
48、agers liked LED bulbs very much, because they_.（分数：1.00）A.were given by Irvine-HallidayB.are ruggedC.are cheapD.are easily recharged(3).What does Irvine-Halliday think of LEDs?（分数：1.00）A.They are cool and steady, but rugged.B.They will replace Edisons lightbulbs someday.C.They are easily maintained.
49、D.They are very cheap.(4).Which of the following statements does not agree with the facts in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.The displays in digital clocks and calculators are just produced by early LEDs.B.Irvine-Halliday believes thatI.ED will certainly become the worlds main source of artificial light.C.A decade ago, engineers developed red and blue LEDs, which were regarded as a milestone in this research.D.It is the blue LED developed by a Japanese en
