5、he prosecutions star witness in the impeachment trial of Estrada, who is accused of bribery, graft and corruption, betrayal of public trust and violations of the constitution.The governor, a former drinking and gambling buddy of the president, said he agreed to the condition to ensure that the much-

6、needed funds would be released immediately to boost Ilocos Surs tobacco industry.“When I asked him about his campaign promise to release the funds, he told me, I hope you can help me since I have many expenses in the elections “, Singson told the Senate tribunal. “I told him I will give him 10 per c

7、ent of the funds to be released.“The Department of Budget subsequently released 200 million pesos (4 million dollars) of llocos Surs share of the tobacco taxes, which was provided for by a law.Singson said the president asked for 130 million pesos (2.6 million dollars) of the amount, instead of the

8、10 per cent cut. The money was given to Estrada through Charlie “Atong“Ang, a close presidential friend.The governor said First Lady Loi Ejercito and presidential son Mayor Jinggoy Estrada also got a portion of the kickbacks. He added that Estrada asked him to cover-up the kickbacks until more funds

9、 could be released.The presidents defence lawyers are set to cross-examine Singson on January 2, 2001.Singson earlier testified that Estrada collected more than 8 million dollars in illegal gambling payoffs. The prosecution has established a paper trail for the money, a part of which has been deposi

10、ted to a bank account of a foundation Estrada set up for Moslem youth scholars.The senator-judges on Tuesday also affirmed the decision of Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide, the presiding officer in the trial, to allow prosecutors to inspect records of a bank account suspected to be secretl

11、y owned by Estrada.The court, however, postponed the opening of a sealed envelope containing documents pertaining to the Equitable PCI Bank account until after the defences motion for reconsideration of the ruling is resolved.Prosecutors said the bank account, which is under the name of Jose Valhall

12、a, is actually owned by Estrada.

13、y in any of the four articles of impeachment.

15、Davide.D.Accounts records.解析：八、Question 8 to 10 are(总题数：1，分数：3.00)Acom .net, .org and .gov. Bbiz, .info,Cname, .proDmuseum, .aero. and .coop解析：听力原文-MARINA DEL REY, Calif. - Soon there will be even more dots to remember, adding to the Internets already mind-boggling array of addresses. The Internets

16、governing body Thursday made a big change to the landscape of the World Wide Web, approving seven new Web site domain names to complement the existing list topped by .com .net, .org and .gov. Out of 44 applications, the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) chose .

17、biz, .info, .name, .pro, .museum, .aero. and .coopand rejected a slew of other options hotly debated by industry players.The choice of the new domain names, which are expected to become available to businesses and consumers by the middle of. next year, culminates a drawn-out process for setting the

18、next stage of growth on the Internet.“This is a first giant step for domain-kind.“ said Esther Dyson, chairman of ICANN.Major companies involved in winning bids to operate the huge databases holding Web site addresses, also called registries, included VeriSign Inc., which currently enjoys a near-mon

19、opoly as the sole registry operator for all domain names not ending in a country suffix, International Business Machines Corp. and Register. com, a fast-growing U.S. reseller of Web site addresses.Some of the new domain names, like .info and .name, will be open to almost anyone to register starting

20、by the middle of next year.Others, such as .museum, and .biz, will be restricted to members of companies or relevant fields.NO DOT WEB, FOR NOW One of the most vied-for domain names, .web, was at the last moment taken out of the “approved“ basket because of a controversy over the ownership. Affilias

21、, a consortium of big companies including VeriSign, was wrangling with a small California company, Image Online Design Inc., which said it registered tens of thousands of users for .web in the past several years due to what it claims was a prior agreement.An impassioned speech by Vint Cerf, an ICANN

22、 board member who was later elected new board chairman, on behalf of Image Online, helped sway the board at the last moment, which granted Affilias the .info domain name, considered to be a less popular domain name, instead.For observers, the climb-down symbolized a small victory for the original sp

23、irit of the Internet, represented here by the ponytailed techies and entrepreneurs, over the encroachment of big businesses.The new domains will likely lead to a price reduction. Domain names typically cost 35 per year. companies who won the new domains will compete head-on with VeriSign Inc., which

24、 via its 20 billion acquisition earlier this year of Network Solutions, Inc., owns a near-monopoly on the registration of domain names.There are more than an estimated 25 million top-level domain names, nearly all of them ending in .com or .net. There is a much smaller list of country-level domain n

25、ames, which end in country suffixes like .cn for China or .uk for Britain.Critics say that the fact that only seven top-level domain name suffixes now exist has directly led to trademark disputes between similar-sounding companies, and rampant speculation by cybersquatters hoping to cash in on valua

26、ble names. The new domain names should give alternatives to companies victimized by cybersquatters, said Ken Hansen, an executive with NeuStar Inc., which will introduce the .biz domain name next year.EMBROILED IN CONTROVERSY ICANN has been embroiled in controversy since it was created in 1998 by th

27、e United States government to oversee the domain name system. About half of the board members were chosen on ICANNs inception, with the other half chosen by constituencies within ICANN. That has led to accusations of nepotism, and over-representation by corporate and big business interests instead o

28、f regular Internet users, especially outside of the United States, and calls for ICANNs abolishment.To assuage critics, ICANN earlier this year held a direct election via the Internet for five new board members, who did not start their terms until after the board meeting. But it is also considering

29、limiting further direct elections of board members, which prompted some ICANN attendees to wear buttons saying “Help Stamp Out ICANN Board Squatting“.The board also tried to become more transparent. The final decisions were made in front of a non-participating but packed audience in a hotel meeting

30、room here, and were also broadcast over the Internet, where viewers could immediately post their vociferous reactions on the ICANN Web site or even e-mail the board members as they agonized,In choosing new domains to add and the companies to run them, the board said it was looking for diversity in c

31、ompany size, and region, strength of their business plan, and their technical proficiency to handle this.“Competing with .com requires technical ability. You need to emphasize this, or competition cant exist,“ said Jun Murai, a member of ICANNs board.But some complained that with the emphasis on the

32、 financial fitness of the applicants, ICANN was looking more like a venture capitalist rather than a non-profit corporation.“ICANN has become a large gatekeeper deciding who has the right to print money on the Internet,“ said Karl Auerbach, a long-time critic of ICANN who favors adding up to 10,000

33、new domain name suffixes per year. Auerbach is an incoming ICANN board member who did not participate in the selection process.Among the domain names not approved by the board Thursday were .iii, which wouldve granted permanent domain names to individuals to make e-mail forwarding easier, and .kids,

34、 as it said it could lead to Web sites with content harmful rather than beneficial for children. The most surprising omission from the Boards group was the.geo domain name, which wouldve created a huge Web-accessible database of businesses and monuments based on location.
