单选题In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come work and live here? In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing. On Dec. 11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged "Operation Safe Travel" —raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification (身份证明). In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America. Authorities said the undocumented workers" illegal status made them open to blackmail (讹诈) by terrorists. Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods. Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. "We"re saying we want you to work in these places, we"re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it"s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you"re disposable. There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons," Anderson said. If Sept. 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely. Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben ＆ Jerry"s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation (驱逐出境). Castro"s case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben ＆ Jerry"s.

单选题The visual arts are a class of art forms, including painting, sculpture, photography, and others, that focus on the creation of artworks which are primarily visual in nature. The visual arts are distinguished from the performing arts, language arts, and other such classes of artwork. The definition is not strict, and many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the visual arts as well other types. In Britain until recently the fine arts-painting, sculpture, printmaking, and so on-were seen as distinct from craft disciplines and the various metalworking disciplines. This distinction arose from the Arts and Crafts Movement whose political aim was to value daily art forms as much as high forms. The result of the conflict between the two groups was to politicize the products of what we now know as visual artists. British art schools made a clear distinction between the fine arts (a term that hints at their supposed superiority) and the crafts in such a way that a craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of high art. Although this is no longer the case, the inequality between the crafts or applied arts and the so-called fine arts still exists in some quarters. A similar stigma exists in the US, where "arts and crafts" has a very particular meaning, referring to the sort of artwork first taught in elementary school and also (later in life) a variety of kitsch, household artwork. Most craftspeople are still seen as practicing something other than "fine art" among the traditional art school set, but, of course, can produce "high art", in any medium.

单选题{{B}}Text 2{{/B}} We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broken up with Helen?" "When I got that great job did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend?" "Or did be envy my luck?" "And Paul-- why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal," that's being friendly. But "lucky dog" ? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What be may be saying is that be doesn't think you deserve your luck. "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of you life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake. Note: guy = boy; gal = girl

单选题Einstein, known as a famous physicist, went to Gottingen to give a lecture at the (26) invitation of the mathematical physicist David Hilbertin 1915. He was particularly (27) for this visit because it would give him a golden opportunity to explain the intricate relativity to him. The visit turned (28) a great success, and he told one of his friends excitedly that he had convinced Hilbert of the theory of relativity. Amid all of Einstein's personal worries at that time, a new scientific (29) would emerge. He was trying his utmost to find the right equations that would (30) his new concept of gravity, ones that would (31) how objects move (32) space and how space is bent by objects. By the end of the winter, he was (33) to find out the mathematical approach he had been pursuing (34) almost three years was incorrect. And now there was a fierce (35) Einstein discovered that Hilbert had (36) theories from Einstein's lecture and would come up (37) the correct equations first. It was an arduous task at that time. Although Einstein performed better in physics than Hilbert, Hilbert was the better mathematician. So later Einstein (38) himself to (39) after equations, proofs, and (40) so that he could return to an earlier mathematical strategy and give as lectures to Berlin's Prussian Academy of Sciences. His first lecture (41) on Nov. 4, 1915, and he explained his new approach during the lecture, (42) he admitted he did not yet obtain the precise mathematical formulation. Einstein was also (43) engaged in revising his equations to compete with Hilbert. Worried (44) being scooped(抢先) ,he sent a copy of his lecture to Hilbert. "I am curious to know whether you will make use of this new solution," Einstein noted with a touch of (45)

单选题 My family and I recently returned from a trip to Alaska, a place that combines supernatural beauty with a breathtaking amount of bear risks. I'll start with some facts at a glance: WHERE ALASKA IS: Way the hell far from you. Beyond Mars. HOW YOU GET THERE: You sit in a variety of airplanes for most of your adult life. WHAT THEY HAVE THERE THAT WILL TRY TO KILL YOU: Bears. I am quite serious about this. Although Alaska is now an official state in the United States with modem conveniences such as rental cars and frozen yogurt, it also allows a large number of admitted bears to stride freely, and nobody seems to be the least bit alarmed about this. In fact, the Alaskans seem to be proud of it. You walk into a hotel or department store, and the first thing you see is a glass case containing a stuffed bear the size of a real one. Our hotel had two of these. It was what we travel writers call "a two-bear hotel". Both bears were standing on their hind legs and striking a pose that said: "Welcome to Alaska! I'm going to tear your arms off!" This struck me as an odd concept, greeting visitors with a showcase containing a major local hazard. It's as if an anti-drug organization went around setting up glass display cases containing stuffed drug smugglers (走私者), with little plaques (胸章) stating how much they weighed and where they were taken. Anyway, we decided the best way to deal with our fear of bears was to become well informed about them, so we bought a book, Alaska Bear Tales. Here are some of the chapter titles, which I am not making up: "They'll Attack Without Warning" "They'll Really Attack You" "They Will Kill" "Come Quick! I'm Being Eaten by a Bear!" "They Can Be Funny" Ha-ha! I bet they can. I bet Mr. and Mrs. Bear will fight playfully over the remaining portion of a former tourist plumped up by airline food. But just the same, I'm glad that the only actual bears that we saw were in the zoo.
