单选题{{B}}TEXT E{{/B}} {{B}}Primary Colors{{/B}} The movie Primary Colors is about a grey-haired, gravel-voiced, doughnut-loving governor from a Southern American state who is running in a US presidential campaign. He has a colourful past that is in danger of grabbing frontpage deadlines and a no-nonsense lawyer wife, whose accent would be right at home in a prestigious Chicago law school. The similarities with President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary seem hard to ignore. The book Primary Colors, published under the byline "Anonymous", became best-seller when it came out not long after the 1992 American presidential election in which Clinton was elected to the White House. It appeared to be a thinly veiled account of what happened during that campaign. But Mike Nichols, the director of Primary Colors the movie, insists that there is no direct relationship between fiction and fact. John Travolta, who plays governor Jack Stanton, agrees. He says that of coupe there are elements of Clinton in the movie character, but then there are also elements of previous presidents--Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy. Emma Thompson, the British actress who, as Stanton's wife, masters an educated Chicago accent for her role, says the idea that Primary Colors is a straight re-rum of real life is far to simplistic, and it annoys her to hear of their production talked about in his way. "The movie may have connections with the Clintons but it is fiction," she says. "It deserves to be re- viewed and written about seriously." The furthest she will go is to admit: "You couldn't have the film without the Clintons, without the Kennedys, without the media, without any of us." The film scored well at the box office and critics were enthusiastic about the performances from Travolta and Thompson and co-stars Kathy Bates, as a political fixer, Larry Hagman, as Stanton's principal political opponent, Billy Bob Thornton, as a political strategist, end Adrian Lester, as Stanton's aide. Director Nichols admits to having had some worries about the spillover of real-life scandal on his film. "Of course we were concerned when the Monica Lewinsky business became frontpage news. Life moved along with us hi a war we did not expect. But we made this film as an entertainment, and that is how people eventually saw it." Movie-goers in America were constantly reminded that Primary Colors was about them as much as it was about the Clintons or any other high-profile political couple. "It's about American politics, life, marriage, fidelity , infidelity--and doughnuts."

单选题{{B}}TEXT B{{/B}} Meteorologists routinely tell us what next week's weather is likely to be, and climate scientists discuss what might happen in 100 years. Christoph Schar, though, ventures dangerously close to that middle realm, where previously only the Farmer's Almanac dared go, what will next summer's weather be like? Following last year's tragic heat wave, which directly caused the death of tens of thousands of people, the question is of burning interest to Europeans. Schar asserts that last summer's sweltering temperatures should no longer be thought of as extraordinary. "The situation in 2002 and 2003 in Europe, where we had a summer with extreme rainfall and record flooding followed by the hottest summer in hundreds of years, is going to be typical for future weather patterns," he says. Most Europeans have probably never read Sehar's report (not least because it was published in the scientific journal Nature in the dead of winter) but they seem to be bracing themselves for the worst. As part of its new national "heat-wave plan", France issued a level-three alert when temperatures in Provence reached 34 degrees Celsius three days in a row; hospital and rescue workers were asked to prepare for an influx of patients. Italian government officials have proposed creating a national registry of people over 65 so they can be herded into air-conditioned supermarkets in the event of another heat wave. London's mayor has offered a 100,000 pound reward for anybody who can come up with a practical way of cooling the city's underground trains, where temperatures have lately reached nearly 40 degrees Celsius. (The money hasn't been claimed.) Global warming seems to have permanently entered the European psyche. If the public is more aware, though, experts are more confused. When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change hammered out its last assessment in 2001, scientists pulled together the latest research and made their best estimate of how much the Earth's atmosphere would warm during the next century. There was a lot they didn't know, but they were confident they'd be able to plug the gaps in time for the next report, due out in 2007. When they explored the fundamental physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, though, they found something unexpected: the way the atmosphere—and, in particular, clouds—respond to increasing levels of carbon is far more complex and difficult to predict than they had expected. "We thought we'd reduce the uncertainty, but that hasn't happened," says Kevin Trenberth, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and a lead author of the next IPCC report. "As we delve further and further into the science and gain a better understanding of the true complexity of the atmosphere, the uncertainties have gotten deeper." This doesn't mean, of course, that the world isn't warming. Only the biased or the deluded deny that temperatures have risen, and that human activity has something to do with it. The big question that scientists have struggled with is how much warming will occur over the next century? With so much still unknown in the climate equation, there's no way of telling whether warnings of catastrophe are overblown or if things are even more dire than we thought. Why do scientists like Schar make predictions? Because, like economists, it's their job to hazard a best guess with the resources at hand-namely, vast computer programs that simulate what the Earth's atmosphere will do in certain circumstances. These models incorporate all the latest research into how the Earth's atmosphere behaves. But there are problems with the computer models. The atmosphere is very big, but also consists of a multitude of tiny interactions among particles of dust, soot, cloud droplets and trace gases that cannot be safely ignored. Current models don't have nearly the resolution they need to capture what goes on at such small scales. Scientists got an inkling that something was missing from the models in the early 1990s when they ran a peculiar experiment. They had the leading models simulate warming over the next century and got a similar answer from each. Then they ran the models again-this time accounting for what was then known about cloud physics.

单选题 Suddenly Lady Windermere looked eagerly round the room, and said, in her clear contralto voice, "Where is my chiromantist?" "Your what, Gladys?" exclaimed the Duchess, trying to remember what a chiromantist really was, and hoping it was not the same as a chiropodist. "My chiromantist, Duchess: I can't live without him at present. I must certainly introduce him to you." "Introduce him!" cried the Duchess. "You don't mean to say he is here?" She began looking about for a small tortoiseshell fan and a very tattered lace shawl so as to be ready to go at a moment's notice. "Of course he is here: I would not dream of giving a party without him. He tells me I have a pure psychic hand." "Oh, I see!" said the Duchess, feeling very much relieved. "He tells fortunes, I suppose?" "And misfortunes, too," answered Lady Windermere. "Any amount of them. Next year, for instance, I am in great danger, both by land and sea, so I am going to live in a balloon, and draw up my dinner in a basket every evening. It is all written down on my little finger, or on the palm of my hand. I forgot which." "But surely that is tempting Providence, Gladys." "My dear Duchess, surely Providence can resist temptation by this time. Everyone should have their hands told once a month, so as to know what not to do. Of course, one does it all the same, but it is so pleasant to be warned. Ah, here is Mr. Podgers! Now, Mr. Podgers, I want you to tell the Duchess of Paisley's hand." "Dear Gladys, I really don't think it is quite right," said the Duchess, feebly unbuttoning a rather soiled kid glove. "Nothing interesting ever is," said Lady Windmere. "But I must introduce you. Duchess, this is Mr. Podgers, my pet chiromantist. Mr. Podgers, this is the Duchess of Paisley, and if you say that she has a larger mountain of the moon than I have, I will never believe you again." "I am sure, Gladys, there is nothing of the kind in my hand," said the Duchess gravely. "Your grace is quite right," said Mr. Podgers, glancing at the little fat hand. "The mountain of the moon is not developed. The line of life, however, is excellent. You will live to a great age, Duchess, and be extremely happy. Ambition -- very moderate, line of intellect not exaggerated, line of heart..." "Now, do be indiscreet, Mr. Podgers," cried Lady Windermere. "Nothing would give me greater pleasure," said Mr. Podgers, bowing, "if the Duchess ever had been, but I am, sorry to say that I see great permanence of affection, combined with a strong sense of duty." "Pray go on, Mr. Podgers," said the Duchess, looking quite pleased. "Economy is not the least of your Grace's virtues," continued Mr. Podgers, and lady Windermere went off into fits of laughter. "Economy is a very good thing," remarked the Duchess complacently. "When I married Paisley he had eleven castles, and not a single house fit to live in." "And now he has twelve houses, and not a single castle," cried Lady Windmere. "You have told the Duchess's character admirably, Mr. Podgers, and now you must tell Lady Flora's." In answer to a nod, a tall gift stepped awkwardly from behind the sofa and held out a long, bony hand. "Ah, a pianist!" said Mr. Podgers. "Very reserved, very honest, and with a great love of animals." "Quite true!" exclaimed the Duchess, turning to Lady Windermere. "Flora keeps two dozen collie dogs at Macloskie, and would turn our town house into a menagerie if her father would let her." "Well, that is just what I do with my house every Thursday evening," cried Lady Windermere, laughing. "Only I like lions better than collie dogs. But Mr. Podgers must read some more hands for us. Come, Lady Marvel, show him yours." But Lady Marvel entirely declined to have her past or her future exposed. In fact, many people seemed afraid to face the odd little man with his stereotyped smile and his bright, beady eyes; and when he told poor Lady Fermor right out before everyone that she did not care a bit for music, but was extremely fond of musicians, it was generally felt that chiromancy was a most dangerous science, and one ought not to be encouraged, except in private.
