11、he past, the Park Service focused on making the big scenic parks more 【21】 and comfortable for tourists. Roads were paved to allow “windshield visitors“ to experience the grandeur of nature without leaving their cars, and a 【22】 number of hotels and grocery stores were permitted to open 【23】 the par

19、nate committee which is investigating the CIA, issued an oblique but impassioned warning, that the technology of eavesdropping had become so highly developed that Americans might soon be left with “no place to hide“. That day may have arrived. Newsweek has learned that the countrys most secret intel
20、ligence operation, the National Security Agency, already possesses the computerized equipment to monitor nearly all overseas telephone calls and most domestic and international printed messages. The agencys devices monitor a great deal of telephone circuits, cable lines and the microwave transmissio
21、ns that carry an increasing share of both spoken and written communications. Computers are programmed to watch for “trigger“ words or phrases indicating that a message might interest intelligence analysis, when the trigger is pulled, entire messages are tape-recorded or printed out. That kind of eav
22、esdropping is, however, relatively simple compared with the breakthroughs that lie ahead in the field of snoopery. Already it is technically feasible to “bug“ an electric typewriter by picking up its feeble electronic emissions from a remote location and then change them into words. And some scienti
23、sts believe that it may be possible in the future for remote electronic equipment to intercept and “read“ human brain waves. Where such capabilities exist, so too does the potential for abuse. It is the old story of technology rushing forward with some new wonder, before the man who supposedly contr
24、ol the machines have found how to prevent the machines from controlling them. （分数：1.00）(1).Which is the best title for the passage?（分数：0.20）A.Fight Against Eavesdropping.B.A New Breakthrough.C.No Place to Hide.D.An Impassioned Warning.(2).Which of the following is most likely to be bugged?（分数：0.20）A
25、.International telephone calls.B.International printed messages.C.Domestic printed messages.D.Electric typewriters.(3).The warning given by Frank Church is（分数：0.20）A.indirect but enthusiastic.B.direct but passionate.C.ambiguous but calm.D.definite but indifferent.(4).What is the authors attitude tow

27、t of the century“ experts predicted it might be. However, Kohoutek has provided a bonanza of scientific information. It was first spotted 370 million miles from Earth, by an astronomer who was searching the sky for asteroids, and after whom the comet was named. Scientists who tracked Kohoutek the te
28、n months before it passed the Earth predicted the comet would be a brilliant spectacle. But Kohoutek fell short of these predictions, disappointing millions of amateur sky watchers, when it proved too pale to be seen with the unaided eye. Researchers were very happy nonetheless With the new informat
29、ion they were able to glean from their investigation of the comet. Perhaps the most significant discovery was the identification of two important chemical compounds methyl cyanide and hydrogen cyanide never before seen in comets, but found it the far reaches of interstellar space. This discovery rev
30、ealed new clues about the origin of comets. Most astronomers agree that comets are primordial remnants from the formation of the solar system, but whether they were born between Jupiter and Neptune or much farther out toward interstellar space has been the subject of :much debate. If compounds no mo
31、re complex than ammonia and methane, key components of Jupiter, were seen in comets, it would suggest that comets form within the planetary orbits. But more complex compounds, such as the methyl cyanide found in Kohoutek, point to formation far beyond the planets; there the deep freeze of space has
32、kept them unchanged. （分数：1.00）(1).Why was Kohoutek referred to as“ the comet of the century“?（分数：0.20）A.It was thought to be extremely old.B.It passes the Earth once a century.C.Scientists predicted it would be very bright.D.Scientists have been tracking it for a century.(2).In what respect was Koho
33、utek a disappointment?（分数：0.20）A.It could be seen only through special equipment.B.It did not approach the Earth.C.It did not provide valuable scientific information.D.It was moving too rapidly for scientists to photograph.(3).According to the passage, what is one major component of Jupiter?（分数：0.20
34、）A.Hydrogen cyanide.B.Methyl cyanide.C.Hydrogen.D.Ammonia.(4).Which of the following questions is best answered by information gained from Kohoutek?（分数：0.20）A.Where were comets formed?B.When were comets formed?C.Where was the solar system formed?D.How was the solar system formed?(5).What is the main
35、 topic of the passage?（分数：0.20）A.What was learned from Kohoutek?B.What was disappointing about Kohoutek?C.Where Kohoutek was spotted?D.How Kohoutek was tracked?He landed in this country when he was 4 years old without a word of English, and there he has recently graduated with honors from Loyola Aca
36、demy. An immigrant kid whose family rents an apartment in a city two-flat, he attended the North Shore school with full scholarship. All the aunts and uncles were so proud that they made their way from the old country or from various comers of this country to celebrate his graduation. A debate is ra
37、ging about whether immigrant children first should be taught English, then their other subjects; or whether they should be taught other subjects in their native tongue as they are more gradually introduced to English over two to three years. California voters recently banished the gradual approach b
38、ilingual education in favor of immersion in the English language. The Chicago Public Schools in February put a three-year deadline on moving into all English classes in most cases. But that was never an issue for this graduate, and it never came up for discussion at his party. Relatives and friends
39、laughed and reminisced in their native tongue, inside and outside, on sofas and lawn chairs. Before long, the instruments came out, old world music filled the air and the traditional dancing began. Like many immigrant children, the graduate listens to his parents in the old language and responds to
40、them in English. During a year after arriving here and enrolling in a Chicago Public School he was speaking fluent English with an American accent so strong that his parents would roll their eyes. But fluency had not come easily; it required a year of total immersion in English, including a teacher
41、who never could seem to learn how to pronounce his name correctly. “Hed come home crying,“ his mother said. Now, you cant hear a trace of his original language in his voice. The switch, at least for him, has been complete; a matter of personal preference early on, he says, but now to the point where
42、 he has trouble remembering how to speak his first language at ail. But he still understands. At the graduation party, his father asked for a beer in the native tongue, and the young man tossed him a can without missing a beat. （分数：1.00）(1).What does the phrase “from various comers of this country“
43、probably mean?（分数：0.20）A.From different parts of the country.B.From across the country.C.From many streets of the country.D.From a lot of houses of the country.(2).What the Chicago Public schools prefers to in language education is（分数：0.20）A.the gradual approach.B.the immersion.C.English teaching fi
44、rst.D.the debate over the issue.(3).How did the graduates parents react to their childs pure American accent?（分数：0.20）A.Unhappy.B.Satisfied.C.Surprised.D.Suspicious.(4).What did the boy say about his early use of the languages?（分数：0.20）A.He would choose properly which language to use.B.He had to use
45、 English most of the time.C.His parents wanted him to use his native tongue.D.Somebody told him what he should do about it.(5).What does the writer probably think of the debate about English teaching for immigrant children?（分数：0.20）A.It is absolutely necessary.B.It is thought-provoking.C.What is arg
46、ued about is sometimes not related to reality.D.The two sides arguments do make sense.A smart man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a policeman , I have some urgent things to say to good people. Days after days my men and I struggle
47、 to stop a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A principle ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isnt hard to define. It means that every person is
48、responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences. Of the many values that hold civilization together honesty, kindness, and so on accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law and, ultimately, no society. My job as a police
49、man is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. Lucky there are still communities smaller towns, usually where schools k
