In a quiet courtroom tucked away in a federal building here, a
titanic battle is competing free speech against government efforts to protect
children from the seemingly limitless pages of pornography in
cyberspace. Titled simply enough, the American Library
Association vs. the United States of American, the trial will determine the
constitutionality of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
(46) {{U}}Passed by Congress in December 2000, the law requires all
libraries that receive federal technology funds to install "protection measures"
on all computers that have access to the Internet.{{/U}} In other words, they must
have blocking software to prevent youngsters from accidentally, or even
intentionally, getting a peek at the multitude of hard-core sites available with
just a few well-placed clicks on a computer terminal. To
free-speech advocates from librarians to the American Civil Liberties Union,
it's a well-intentioned but dangerous assault on America's First Amendment
freedoms. (47) {{U}}They argue that even the best blocking software is so flawed
that it would also limit adult access to a wide array of constitutionally
protected speech.{{/U}} "It's very easy to suggest that we all
believe in the First Amendment, we just want to keep our kids safe," says John
Berry, president of the American Library Association in Chicago. (48){{U}}"But as
soon as you start making those kinds of concessions, you began to undermine one
of our founding principles, and you can't sacrifice those kinds of things for a
little temporary security."{{/U}} Supporters of the
Internet-filtering law argue that the First Amendment has nothing to do with
CIPA because it's nothing more than a funding bill. If libraries have
objections, they simply don't have to accept the federal funds upon which the
blocking software's use is conditioned. There's the whole issue
of the blocking software itself: Does it work or not? (49){{U}}One study of more
than 7,000 websites that had been blocked by the various software companies
found that between 65 and 70 percent of the sites were "deemed to have potential
value" to a library user.{{/U}} As to worries about overblocking,
the law's supporters note the law allows adults to ask a librarian to turn off
the blocking software. (50) {{U}}But the librarians argue that the
mandatory filter does take discretion away from librarians and their
communities, which pay for about 80 percent of the average library's budget, and
gives it to the federal government.{{/U}} After this three-judge
panel rules, one side or the other is expected to file an appeal, and that will
go directly to the Supreme Court.

问答题In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

问答题Please briefly answer the following question IN ABOUT 500 WORDS:(10 points)Anthropological linguists E. Sapir and B. Whorf claim that the language a people use shapes their perspective of perception, which in turn shapes their thought. The key notions of their famous " Sapir-Whorfian Hypothesis" include " language determinism" and " language relativity". Do you know anything about the notions of theirs? If you do, what is your opinion on it? Please briefly express your ideas in a passage.
问答题On-line newspapers are a look into the future, and just pondering it raises the question of whether it isn't nicer getting your daily news curled up in your favorite chair with your ballpoint pen handy to circle items of interest, or scissors ready to snip out articles you want to save. The Gazette Company is betting its subscribers want both electronic and paper options, and so far it seems to be right. The rest of the world is moving into cyberspace more slowly than the United States, and, in the developing world, the Internet has hardly penetrated at all. U. N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is determined to change this through the United Nations Information Technology Service, which will train large numbers of people to tap into the income-enhancing power of the Internet. Annan is also proposing an Internet health network that will provide state-of-the-art medical knowledge to 10, 000 clinics and hospitals in poor countries.

The Theory of Continental Drift has had a long and turbulent
history since it was first proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1910. (46)
{{U}}Vigorously challenged yet widely ignored, the theory had languished for half
a century, primarily due to its lack of a plausible mechanism to support the
proposed drift.{{/U}} With the discovery of sea-floor spreading in the late 1950's
and early 60's, the idea was reinvigorated. Plate tectonics is now almost
universally accepted. Many details of the mechanism are to be worked
out. The surface of the Earth is divided into approximately six
large plates, plus a number of smaller ones. The plates are' bounded by an
interconnected network of ridges, transform faults, and trenches. Ridges,
also called spreading centers, occur where two plates are moving away from each
Other. As the plates separate, hot molten mantle material flows up to fill the
void. (47) {{U}}The increased heat resulting from this flow reduces the
density of the plates, causing them to float higher, thus elevating the
boundaries by many thousands of feet above the colder surrounding sea floor.
(48) Ridges on the ocean floor form the longest continuous ranges of
mountains on the planet, but. only in a very few places on the Earth do these
mountains rise above the ocean surface. {{/U}} New sea floor is
constantly being created along spreading centers. Obviously somewhere else old
sea floor must be going away. This occurs in trenches, also called subduction
zones. Trenches occur along the boundary between two plates that are moving
towards each other. (49) {{U}}Where this occurs, one plate is bent downwards at
about a 400 angle and plunges under the other plate's leading edge, eventually
to melt back into the liquid mantle below. {{/U}}As the subducting plate is heated
back up to mantle temperatures, certain minerals in the plate melt sooner than
others. (50) {{U}}Minerals that melt at lower temperatures and are lighter than
the surrounding material tend to rise, melting their way up through the
overriding plate to erupt as volcanoes on the ocean floor. {{/U}}As these
volcanoes grow, they rise above the ocean surface to form lines of islands along
the leading edge of the overriding plate. Numerous islands of Micronesia
and Melanesia in the western Pacific were created in this way.
问答题Translate the following two passages into Chinese on the Answer Sheet.(24 points) I had scarcely got into bed when a strain of music seemed to break forth in the air just below the window. I listened, and found it proceeded from a band, which I concluded to be the amateur musicians from some neighboring village. They went round the house, playing under the windows. I drew aside the curtains to hear them more distinctly. The moonbeams fell through the upper part of the window, partially lighting up the antiquated apartment. The sounds, as they receded, became more soft and aerial and seemed to accord with the quiet moonlight. I listened and listened—they became more and more tender and remote, and, as they gradually died away, my head sunk upon the pillow, and I fell asleep.

问答题2 Although for the purpose of this article English literature is treated as being confined to writings in English by natives or inhabitants of the British Isles, it is to a certain extent the case that literature-and this is particularly true of the literature written in English--knows no frontiers. Thus, English literature can be regarded as a cultural whole of which the mainstream literatures of the Unit- ed States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada and important elements in the literatures of other commonwealth countries are parts. It can be argued that no single English novel attains the universality of the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. Yet in the Middle Ages the Old English literature was influenced and gradually changed by the Latin and French writings, eminently foreign in origin, in which the churchmen and the Norman (诺曼) conquerors expressed themselves. From this combination emerged a flexible and subtle linguistic instrument exploited by Geoffrey Chaucer (乔叟) and brought to supreme application by William Shakespeare.
