填空题The development of writing was one of the great human inventions. It is difficult (36) many people to imagine language without writing; the spoken word seems intricately tied to the written (37) . But children speak (38) they learn to write. And millions of people in the world speak languages with (39) written form. Among these people oral literature abounds, and crucial knowledge (40) memorized and passed (41) generations. But human memory is short-lived, and the brain's storage capacity is finite. (42) overcame such problems and allowed communication across the miles (43) through the years and centuries. Writing permits a society (44) permanently record its poetry, its history and its technology. It might be argued (45) today we have electronic means of recording sound and (46) to produce films and television, and thus writing is becoming obsolete. (47) writing became extinct, there would be no knowledge of electronics (48) TV technicians to study; there would be, in fact, little technology in years to (49) There would be no film or TV scripts, no literature, no books, no mail, no newspapers, no science. There would be (50) advantages: no bad novels, junk mail, poison-pen letters, or "unreadable" income-tax forms, but the losses would outweigh the (51) . There are almost as (52) legends and stories on the invention of writing as there are (53) the origin of language. Legend has it that Cadmus, Prince of Phoenicia and founder of the city of Thebes, (54) the alphabet and brought it with him to Greece. In one Chinese fable the four-eyed dragon-god T'sang Chien invented writing. In (55) myths, the Babylonian god Nebo and the Egyptian god Thoth gave humans writing as well as speech.

填空题People uncritical of technology also rationalize endangering Technologies by promoting humanistic uses of a particular technology. In 1950s, for instance, nuclear weaponry was justified by its 1 "peaceful use": cheap electricity through nuclear power. Later, when nuclear power"s excesses and dangers came under light, 2 pronuclear people tried to deflect concern by drawing attention to the medical uses of radiation. Such rationalizations make a strong effect on both the public 3 and the creators and disseminators of technologies. Since the notion of the technical solution has so successfully engulfed our minds, social mores, institutions, the most searing judgment critics have been 4 able to muster does not even question modem technology as such. Rather it asserts where technologies are neutral: they are just tools 5 that contain no inherent political bias. If there is a problem with technology, it lay with what class of people controls it. 6 There is other school of thought which views technology as 7 political: technologies serve political ends. They are invented and deployed by people who benefit and believe in a particular political 8 setup—and their very structure serves this setup. An overview of mass technological society shows that the kinds of technologies in place are those serve the perpetuation of mass technological society. 9 For instance, the telephone and computer may look as "people"s 10 technologies", and they do help individuals stay in communication and collect, sort, and manage information. Yet both were consciously developing to enhance systems of centralized political power. 11 According to a manually written by early telephone entrepreneurs, the 12 telephone was consciously disseminated to increase corporate command of information, resources, communications, and time. The computer is originally invented during World War Ⅱ to decode 13 intercepted radio messages and later to boost military power through guided missilery. Today these technologies make global exploitation of nature, urban centralization, and high-tech military domination not only possibly, but seemingly necessary. In a 14 decentralized, communal society, telephones or computers would be 15 neither politically necessary nor individually attractive. As jerry Mander sees it, "Each technology is compatible with certain political And social outcomes, and usually it has been invented by people who have some of these outcomes in mind. The idea that technology is "neutral" is itself not neutral."

填空题Translate the following passage into Chinese．(苏州大学2008研，考试科目：翻译与写作)How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn: for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people—first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. I am strongly drawn to a frugal life and am often oppressively aware that I am engrossing an undue amount of the labor of my fellow-men. I regard class distinctions as unjustified and, in the last resort, based on force. I also believe that a simple and unassuming life is good for everybody, physically and mentally.I do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense. Everybody acts not only under external compulsion but also in accordance with inner necessity. Schopenhauer"s saying, " A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants" , has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth: it has been a continual consolation in the face of life"s hardships, my own and others", and an unfailing well-spring of tolerance. This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously: it is conducive to a view of life which, in particular, gives humor its due.

填空题All big ideas start life on the fringes of debate. Very often it takes a shocking event to move them into the mainstream. Unti1 last year climate change was mainly the interest of scientists and green lobbyists. But since Hurricane Katrina, something seems to have changed, particularly in America. Nobody knows whether the hurricane really had anything to do with the earth warming. But for the first time less green voters and big business had a clearer idea about the "extreme weather events" whose increasing frequency scientists had been talking about. There are plenty of anecdotal signs of change: Britain's pro-business Conservatives have turned green; A1 Gore is back in fashion in America; hybrid cars no longer get stared at. (41)______. So far the political rows about global warming have centred on two polluters, smoggy factories and dirty cars. (42)______. In some ways, the airlines are an odd target for greens. They produce only around 3% of the world's man-made carbon emissions. (43)______. By shipping hordes of ordinary people around the globe for not very much money, they have improved the lives of millions. (44)______. Air transport will soon be central, not marginal, to the emissions issue. What, if anything, should be done? As usual, there are dangers on both sides. Excessive regulation would unnecessarily restrict individual choice and restrain an industry that makes both rich and poor countries better off. On the other hand, airlines no less than any other industry must pay for pollution. (45)______. And, although other forms of transport cannot easily replace flying, demand for many flights is sensitive to price. A quarter of flying is business-related; many of those journeys are essential, but others are scarcely more important than a telephone call or video-conference. However, addressing individuals' consciences won't go that far. Air pollution is a collective problem, which in this case requires a change in policy. As it stands, the market is in favour of air travel; the aim should be to make it more balanced. Two approaches are on offer. Some think the best way to limit emissions is to tax them; others argue for a system that sets a cap on pollution, and let polluters trade the right to emit.[A] But there is no sign of governments embracing that idea. Given that it is the world's first serious attempt to cut emissions internationally, that is not surprising. The world can learn from its imperfections, and design a better scheme for airlines.[B] Now a new front is being opened up—in the skies. Next month the European Parliament will vote on whether to extend its emissions-trading system to airlines. If it decides in favour, the whole industry will feel the impact, for it will affect not just European airlines but all those that fly into and out of the EU. But whatever happens in the EU, it seems that the airlines are bound to face demands that they should pay for their emissions.[C] Slowly, businessmen and politicians are coming to agree with scientists. If this generation does not tackle climate change, its descendants will not think much of it. That means raising costs for all sources of pollution. Even those inexpensive weekend breaks will be cancelled.[D] As the debate grows, some flyers may reconsider their ways. Put frankly, air travel makes a mockery of many people's attempts to live a green life. Somebody who wants to reduce his "carbon footprint" can bicycle to work, never buy sprays and turn off his air-conditioner—and still blow away all this virtue on a couple of long flights.[E] Companies are beginning to take actions and encouraging governments to do the same. Europe already has an emissions-trading system (ETS) for its five dirtiest industries. In America, although the Bush administration still resists federal legislation, more and more states do not.[F] Yet in other ways, airlines are a fine target. They pay no tax on fuel for international flights, and therefore escape the "polluter pays" principle. Their emissions are especially damaging, too, And the industry's energy consumption has been growing faster than that of other polluting industries.[G] Surface transport, by contrast, produces 22%. Europe's merchant ships spew out around a third more carbon than aircraft do, and nobody is going after them. And unlike cars— potent symbols of individualism (and, some would say, individual selfishness) — airlines are public transport, jamming in as many people as they can into each plane.
