Nervousuncertainty surrounds the fate（命运)of US journalist DanielPearl, with no clear communication from his kidnappers(绑匪)and no sign of his whereabouts afterthree separate police searches for his body in the troublesome port cityKarachi, Pakistan.
Pearl,a 38-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter , disappeared two weeks ago on hisway to an interview in Karachi. An e-mail allegedly from his kidnapperscontained four photos of him and a variety of demands, including one for therelease of Pakistani prisoners being held at the US naval base in Cuba.
Thesearches were started last Friday night by an email claiming that Pearl hadbeen killed and his body thrown “in the graveyards of Karachi.”
Pearlhas worked for The Wall Street Journal for 12 years and is now their South Asiabureau chief . He was born in Princeton, New Jersey and graduated from StanfordUniversity with a bachelor’s degree in communications.
Hejoined The Wall Street Journal in November 1990, first as a reporter in theAtlanta bureau. In 1993 he moved to the Washingtonoffice to covertransportation before beginning a series of overseas postings.
Themembers of a radical(激进的)Islamic group in Pakistan whoadmit having kidnapped him say Pearl is a member of the Israeli intelligenceservice, Mossad. But Pearls employers have angrily denied (否认)that he is the agent(代理)of any government.
Pearl’sFrench wife, Marianne, is six months pregnant with their first child.
Forthe past few weeks the couple have been living in Karachi while Pearl tried toarrange an interview with Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani , head of the small militant Islamic group Tanzeem ul-Fuqra.

Studentparticipation(参与)in the classroom is not onlyaccepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final gradeon the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures duringwhich the student has a passive role(i.e.,listening and taking notes), manycourses are organized around classroom discussion , student questions, andinformal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor has a “manager”roleand the students make presentations and lead disucssions. The students do theactual teaching in these discussions.
Aprofessor’s teaching method is another factor (因素)thatdetermines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors preferto control discussion while othersprefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encouragestudents to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’s pointof view should be prepared to prove their positions.
Inthe teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction isgenerally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and studentstaking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanitiesand social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society ,and history classes, for example , are often required to solve problems ingroups ,design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Sincesome college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical , they pay moreattention to “doing” for themselves.
59.“Participation in the classroom is notonly accepted but also expected of the student”inmany courses except in ______.
A.scienceand mathematics B.the humanities and social sciences
C.informallecture courses D.discussion courses
60.Fromthe passage we know that education in the humanities and society_______.
A.hasnot changed much
B.payattention to student’s studying instead of teachers’ teaching
C.ismuch more important than that of science and mathematics
D.hasbecome more practical than theoretical
61.Thereason why some professors ask students to make presentations and leaddiscussion is that_______.
A.theseprofessors are often not well prepared before class
B.theseprofessors want to stress “doing”
C.theseprofessors want to test the students’ abilities
D.theseprofessors are not willing to teach theory
62.Whichof the following sentences is true according to the passage?

Scientistshave tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference betweenboys and girls.
However,none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientistpoints out, “There are slight genetic（遗传）differences between the sexes at birthwhich may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is thatby the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that itis almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, orwhether they’ve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys’‘territory.’”
Statistics(统计数据)show that in mathematics , at least ,girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studyingmathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports’ authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable forpeople not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women tosay that they are ‘hopeless’ at maths. Ourresearch shows that, althought girls get marks which are as good as the boys’,they have not been encouraged to do so .”
Theexplanation for the difference , which is very clear during the teenageyears,goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days innursery school, girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to completetasks, although boys are. For example , boys and not girls, are often asked to ‘help’with repair work. This encouragementleads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence(证据)shows that exceptional mathematiciansand scientists did not have teachers who supplied answers ; they had to findout for themselves.
Afurther report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give moreattention to boys than to girls.
Mostteachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their malestudents to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their femalestudents. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence(信心)and makes them believe thatthey can succeed.
Interestingly,both boys and girls tend to regard such “male” subjects like mathematics andscience as difficult . Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematicscourses ,not because they are difficult , but for social reasons.
Mathematicsand science are mainly male subjects , and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up . Girls do not seem to want to be inopen competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boysbecause they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.
63.Theunderlined word “territory”in th second paragraph most probablymeans “_______”. A.interest B.area of land C.specialfield D.district
64.Accordingto scientific studies, _______.
A.mathsis not fit for girls to learn
B.boyshave a special sense of maths
C.girlsare poorer at maths because they are the weaker sex
D.girlscan learn maths as well as boys ifgiven enough encouragement
65.Thosewho made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science_______.
A.usuallyhad good teachers to help them
B.hadthe abilities to solve problems by themselves
C.usuallyworked harder than others
D.wereencouraged to repair things when young
66.Whichof the following is not true according to the text?
A.Itseems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.
B.Itis a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor atmaths.
C.Mathematicsand science are no easy subjects to either girls or boys.
D.Thereis no connection between a girl’s ability in maths and her appearance.
67.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Who’sAfraid of Maths Anyway?
B.AreBoys Cleverer than Girls?
C.BoysAre Better at Maths than Girls by Birth
D.Maths—A Difficult Subject

Thenext time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible bosslisten to a recommending (推荐)phone call “made”by US President George W. Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Ofcourse, neither of them could really do that for you —you would just “borrow”their voices.
AT&Tlabs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducingthe sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring thevoices of long —dead famous people back tolife.
Thesoftware, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a companyto use recordings of a person’s voice to say things that the person neveractually said.
Possiblecustomers for the software, which is priced in the thousands of dollars ,include telephone call centres , companies that make software that readsdigital(数字的)files aloud, and makers ofautomated voice devices(装置).The advances raise severalproblems. Who , for example , owns the rights to a famous person’s voice?(Someexperts even believe that new contracts(合同)willbe drawn that include voice—licensing clauses.)
Andalthough scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud (假冒), would the synthesized( 合成的)voices at last be able to trick peopleinto thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordingsfrom people they know.
EvenMr Fruchterman , one of AT&T lab’s possible first customers , said hewondered what the new technology might bring. “Justlike you can’t trust a photograph anymore.”he said , “you won’t be able to trust avoice either.”
68.Withthe help of the speech software, it is most possible________.
A.toimprove a famous person’s speech B.to say what you want in another’s voice
C.tomake a speech much more easily D.to help you to find a better job
69.Ifthe speech software were widely used, _______.
A.peoplewould no longer believe each other
B.itwould not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person
C.noradio or TV broadcasters would be needed
D.recordingof a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court
70.Accordingto the passage, you can infer that _______.
A.thesoftware will turn out to be an immediate success in the market
B.thegovernment will forbid the sale of the software in the market
C.it’shard to decide whether the software will enjoy popularity
D.thesoftware will soon prove to be nothing but rubbish
71.Thepassage mainly wants to _______.
A.introducea new software B.explainthe disadvantage of a new invention
C.advertisea new kind of product D.describe the future market of a newproduct

Althoughthey may not die from lack of love, adults also need a great amount ofaffection(友情)and companionship. In thepast, many people spent their entire lives in the communities in which theywere born and raised . Many more people continued to live with their parents,brothers and sisters after they were married and had children of their own.Byremaining in familiar communities wiht relatives nearby , families had enoughopportunities for friendly contact and for support in time of trouble.
Recentstudies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changedas much in the last few centuries asis generally believed.Yet most sociologists agree that in modernsocieties , there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support fromrelatives outside the immediate family. Parents and children often live apartfrom other relatives , and seldom visit them.Also , the family moves when aparent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a betterneighborhood . Together , loneliness and mobility(迁移)force immediate family members to dependheavily on one another for affection and companionship.
Becausethe family is one of the few on going sources of affection and companionship inmodern societies, a high percentage of people continue to marry, even though itis possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying . Onthe other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important ,families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional(情感的)needs are not met within the familycircle—even if all other familyfunctions (功能)are being satisfactorilyperformed , and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstoneof the modern family.
72.Itis generally believed that _______.
A.manypeople spend their lives in familiar communities
B.aperson can easily get in touch with relatives in times of difficulty
C.theorganization of the family has changed a great deal
D.westernsocieties have not changed much in the past few years
73.Sociologicalstudies show that_______.
A.themore the family moves , the less support it gets from its distant relatives
B.parentsand children live together to make up for the lack of relatives outside thefamily
C.familyarrangements have changed and so there is little need for companion ofrelatives
D.familymembers are separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives
74.Theword “touchstone” in the last paragraph may be replaced by_______.
A.result B.trouble C.function D.standard
75.Inthe last paragraph ,the writer mainly wants to say_________.
A.affectionand companionship are important for the family and they can be gained fromnowhere but the family
B.affectionand companionship can come from the family and at the same time safeguard thefamily
C.thereare few ways to gain affection and companionship but the best way to get themis from the family
D.inmodern societies a lot of families break up and it’s just for a lack of affectionand companionship
