President George Bush, still

17、t justified? Or are politicians simply, helping to feed public panic, and then covering themselves by promising to spend lavishly against a threat which may nevermaterialize and to reduce a risk which they do not understand? To ask these questions is not to counsel complacency, but to apply the kind

18、 of test which is required in any kind of disaster planning, not least because the world is an inherently dangerous place and it is impossible to plan against every possible disaster.

23、ersonal laptop computer to every school chi Id一particularly in the poorest parts of the world. The first step to making that happen is whittling the price down to $100. And that is the goal of a group of American techno-gurus led by Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the fabled MIT Media Lab. When

24、he unveiled the idea at the World Economic Forum in January it seemed wildly ambitious. But surprisingly, it is starting to become a reality. Mr. Negroponte plans to display the first prototype in November at a UN summit. Four countriesBrazil, Egypt, Thailand and South Africa-have said they will buy

25、 over I m units each. Production is due to start in late 2022.How is the group, called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), able to create a laptop so inexpensively?

The $100 laptop also puts all the components behind the screen, not under the keyboard, so there is no need for an expensive hinge. So far, OLPC has got the price down to around $130.But good n

27、ews for the world，s poor, may not be such great news for the worlds computer manufacturers. The new machine is not simply of interest in the developing world.

34、e been removed. For Questions 41一45, choose the most suitable one from the list A一G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive weapons and

35、the discovery of fire, although nobody knows exactly when he acquired the use of the latter.(41) . Animals have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man i

36、s apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discoveredA. relationshipB.emissionC.emulationD. interpretation2、A. andB. butC. thusD. or

37、3、(3)A.contradictionB.estimationC.confrontationD. immersion4、(4)A. byB. forC. toD. in5、A. innovationB. manoeuvrethat speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think that in this respect picture language preceded oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show

38、in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. (42).Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the domestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture made possible an immense increase in the number of the human species in t

39、he regions where it could be successfully practiced. (43) .(44) .These inventions and discoveries-fire, speech, weapons domestic animals, agriculture, and writing-made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B. C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than tw

40、o hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it. There was, of course, an immense extension in the area of civilized life. At f

41、irst it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris, and the Indus, but at the end of the period in question it coveredmuch the greatest part of the inhabitable globe. I do not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during the time. (45) .Notes:ape猿。pastoral nomad田园式的游牧部落的

42、人。the Euphrates幼 发拉底河。the Tigris底格里斯河。the Indus印度河。in question 所谈的(在名词后作后置定语)。A. Probably picture language and. oral language developed side by side. I am inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.B. Another fundamental technical advance was

43、writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.C. With the development of civilization, primitive people who lived i

44、n caves at that time badly needed a language, which would help them to communicate with one another.D. The origin of language is also obscure. No doubt it began very gradually.E. In fact, there was progress-there were even two inventions of very great importance, namely, gunpowder and the mariner，sc

45、ompass一but neither of these can be compared in their revolutionary power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.F. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricult

46、ural way of life prevailed in the end because of the physical comforts it provided.G. But industry was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age.22、 (42)23、 (43)24、 (44)25、 (45)26、 Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and the

47、n translate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points) (46) A recent phenomenon in present-day science and technology is the increasing trend towards ,directecT or ,programmed research; i. e. research whose scope and objectives are predetermined by private or government organizations ratherth

48、an researchers themselves. Any scientist working for such organizations and investigating in a given field therefore tends to do so in accordance with a plan or program designed beforehand.At the beginning of the century, however, the situation was quite different. At that time there were no industrial research organizations in the modern sense: the laboratory unit consisted of a few scientists at the most, assisted by one or two technicians. (47)Nevertheless, the scientist, often working with inadequate equipment in unsuitable rooms, was free to choose any subject for invest
