单选题In the Iraqi capital of Bagahdad, the trail of Saddam Hussein on charges of genocide against the kurds continues. If convicted the former Iraqi leader could get a second death penalty on top of the one he received after his conviction in the Dujail trial. Saddam and his 6 co-defendants were present to hear the Anfal case on Monday. The prosecution claims about 180,000 people, mostly civilians, were killed in a crackdown between 1987—1988. Many of them were killed by poison gas or in massacre. One Kurdish witness says more tan 350 people from his village were killed or deported during operation Anfal. In past sessions, the court has heard testimonies from four American forensic experts. They submitted what they had found as evidence when examining the remains of Kurds in several mass graves from both northern and southern Iraq. On Sunday, Saddam's lawyers formally appealed against the death sentence on the former leader of crimes against humanity for part in the Dujail killings.Questions:

单选题Mayor Tom Bradley calls Los Angeles " the most ethnically diverse city in the world, " and he"s surely right. Los Angeles is the new Ellis Island, the place futurists tout as the America of tomorrow. The demographic changes that are beginning to transform the rest of the country are here already. Just a decade ago, Los Angeles was largely white and homogeneous. Today there are no majorities. The 1990 census says the city is 40 percent Latino, 37 percent Anglo and 23 percent black and Asian. Thanks to immigration—legal and illegal—greater Los Angeles has nearly as many Mexicans as Monterrey, more Salvadorans than any city but San Salvador and the largest Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese and Philippine populations in the country. Nearly 100 languages are spoken in the city"s schools. More than 300, 000 newcomers flood in each year, pitting blacks against Hispanics and Asians for jobs and housing in a city where both are scarce. Los Angeles has not been a triumph for the melting pot, at least not yet. Even before the riots, it sometimes resembled a city under siege. Los Angeles is a town where merchants pack guns, where inner-city neighborhoods are divided into precincts with names like " Little Beirut" or " the Kill Zone, " where wealthy neighborhoods are fenced off and posted with warnings Of ARMED RESPONSE. "This is a bunker mentality, " says the head of one of L. A. " s 3, 500 private security firms. Lacking any center, barricaded into nervous camps, Los Angeles has little common ground upon which its diverse citizenry can meet. Nowhere in the country is the gap between rich and poor so evident; nowhere are racial or ethnic relations so complex. Mexicans mistrust Central Americans. Hispanics and Asians coexist uneasily in many neighborhoods. Black looters who torched Asian markets justified themselves as avenging perceived racism. Amid the social fragmentation, blacks are especially isolated. Once southern California"s ascendant minority, African-Americans represent only 13 percent of the city"s population, and that percentage is shrinking. L. A. "s Latinos, by contrast, doubled over the past decade, all but displacing blacks in Watts, home of the 1965 riots, and encroaching on African-American neighborhoods throughout the city. There are no quick fixes to such profound social changes. Politicians will cobble together emergency economic and social programs. Ultimately, though, the solution to L. A. " s crisis will be the very diversity that now poses such challenges. Drive down Melrose Avenue and you are struck by the city"s tremendous ethnic vitality—and its potential. Iranian and Russian restaurants vie with Jewish markets. Armenian exporters jostle Japanese importers. Thai Town gives way to Koreatown which gives way to Little Central America. This is more than a festival of international cuisine. These are thriving businesses with spreading links to greater Los Angeles and beyond. " L. A. is America"s first true world city, " says Safi Qureshey, a Pakistani immigrant whose company, AST Research, Inc. , has become the third largest U. S. computer exporter. You hear a lot of talk these days about Pacific Rim-ism, and how ethnic diversity is the key to the 21st century. In L. A. , much of that talk is true. Malaysian or Thai businessmen in Los Angeles keep their links to their homelands. Commerce often follows. "This is the modern version of the traditional melting pot, " says Phil Burgess at the Center for the New West. "These new Americans learn English. They plug into the system. But they " assimilate" us as much as we " assimilate" them. " Many of these successes are in neighborhoods that today seem so troubled. Asian communities are quickly vaulting into the middle class. If some Hispanic neighborhoods seem overrun with impoverished newcomers, others are becoming established centers of enterprise. Significantly, Hispanic neighborhoods were largely spared from rioting and looting. The reason is part economics, part ethnicity. Latinos and Asians have a stake in the city in a way that most blacks have not, explains L. A. sociologist Joel Kotkin. "They start more businesses and buy their homes. You don"t torch what you own. " What"s more, Asians and Latinos generally stay put once they make it, spreading their wealth to their neighbors. Blacks, by contrast, tend to behave like many whites. They head for the suburbs, leaving behind a black "community" of predominantly young poor. That isolation must end if Los Angeles is to recover and prosper—and it may well end sooner rather than later. The wealth generated by thriving ethnic businesses will raise the communities around them. That day may be too far off for the rioters, but what"s encouraging is that so many Angelenos still managed to see that vision through the smoke of L. A. "s fires.

单选题[A]It is a little difficult at first to get your bearings in this strange place because the falling water disappears abruptly into a slit in the earth"s surface, and thereafter the river, the Zambezi, rushes away along a narrow gorge that keeps twisting and turning back on itself in the most confusing way. Consequently from ground level it is impossible to obtain a general view. The thing that really takes your eye, however, is a white cloud that constantly hangs over the scene. From the distance this cloud looks like a forest fire(the native name for the falls is Musi-o-tunya, the Smoke that Thunders), but in actual fact it is composed of tiny particles of water which have been carried into the sky by the displaced air rushing up from the bottom of the gorge. If you stand on the edge of the Victoria Falls themselves you feel this cool wet updraught very keenly, and it is rather like being in the midst of a fine scotch mist, except that the sun shines through and creates astonishing circular rainbows in the air. In the midday heat condensation sets in and the cloud diminishes, but in the evening and in the early morning it climbs up to a thousand feet again. The Zambezi does not hasten to the falls. It slides, flat, blue-grey and placid among islands across the plain, and then unexpectedly plunges headlong into the vast abyss. Sometimes hippopotami, grown feeble with sickness or badly wounded in one of their communal fights, are washed helplessly over the lip, and then for weeks on end their bodies float round and round in the whirlpools in the chasm below. No one has yet succeeded in plumbing these depths; even a cable weighted with a steel rail is swept out at a tangent by the torrent. Crocodiles take good care to remain in the calmwater above the falls, and though it is not often you see them they are always there. A notice on the bank states with simple emphasis; "Swimming is suicidal". [B]Apart from this and a few other unobtrusive signs of the white man"s civilization, the falls remain pretty much as they were when Dr. Livingstone discovered them on 16 November, 1855. The same bulging baobab trees that Livingstone described grow along the bank, the same orchids thrust up through the dank and rotten undergrowth, and precisely in July each year the elephants still return from the dry wastes of Bechuanaland looking for water. The river then is low, and they wade out to King George Island washing themselves as they go along with an inexpressible satisfaction. Livingstone"s spirit broods very much over this country; they have an excellent collection of his maps and letters in the town, and here at the falls a lifelike statue has been erected. The doctor gazes steadfastly at the rushing water, his Bible and his field-glasses in his left hand, his walking stick in his right, his cap with flaps on his head, his trousers caught up by string around his shins, and in the evening light one can easily imagine that it is the great man himself who is standing there, and that nothing much divides you from his century-old loneliness and his utter determination. [C]A curious sort of mesmerism is created by so much roaring, Tumbling water. If you stare at it long enough you have the feeling that you are being gently lifted from the earth. You float in a solitary detachment, and it is not unpleasant. Nothing seems to be of much importance, except that this pattern should go on constantly repeating itself, that these millions of tons of water should keep on arriving, poising for a moment as they inevitably spill over the brink, and then vanish into the depths below. One can understand the morbid attraction waterfalls have for people about to commit suicide and such tragedies do occur here from time to time. These people avoid the prospect of a horrible death among the crocodiles upstream; they want to fall with the water. Often it has a soothing effect, making them behave right up to the end in the most matter of fact way. Quite recently, I was told, a woman came up to a man who was standing on the brink and said to him casually, "Would you mind holding my handbag for a minute?" He took the bag and then she jumped. Then too there are the accidents. No railings have been erected above the gorge, and at many places foolhardy people like to clamber down among the wet rocks to get a closer view. If they slip, their only chance of survival lies in being caught by the clumps of trees that grow out from the face of the precipice. This happened to a man not long ago, and although the fire brigade played its searchlights about all night they could not find him. It was only by chance that in the morning a tourist happened to see a tiny figure far below clinging to a ledge. The man was beating dementedly on the rock in a futile attempt to be heard above the roaring water. They went down with ropes and ladders and got him to the top. Normally of course the atmosphere of Livingstone is a great deal more cheerful than this. As at Niagara, honeymoon couples arrive. Launches ply about among the hippopotami on the upper reaches of the river, and native boys push the tourists in toy railway cars between the hotel and the falls. Monkeys come down from the trees to snatch cake from the picnic parties on the islands, and baboons, with great acumen, have learned how to open car doors and windows when the owners are away. There is an orchestra playing on the hotel terrace in the evening when for a few short minutes the white cloud reflects the colours of the sunset; and in the morning, at dawn, one can take a joy ride in a plane as far as the Wankie reserve and back to the falls again. In short, it is the immemorial pattern of any beauty spot in any country, but set into an African background; and this is not a background that quite accepts the western world as yet. After reading each of the following questions, choose the ONE correct answer, and indicate it by writing down the letter that stands for it. In all questions only ONE answer is correct. This is stressed in some questions, but remember that the rule applies to all of them.From Section A
