But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.First of all, the aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering

11、in Kosovo. Today, after many days of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes. Not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wis

12、h to prevent the human suffering, they should realize they were wrong when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.So, whats left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepa

18、, people began to realize that the Earth was really round.Then, in the third century BC（2,300 years ago）, a Greek man named Eratosthenes had an idea. Eratosthenes was sure that the Earth was a sphere. He used the sun and geometry to figure out the size of the Earth. He calculated that the circumfere

19、nce of the Earth was 28,600 miles（46,000 kilometers）.The true size of the Earth is 25,000 miles（40，000 kilometers）.Eratosthenes measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.For many centuries after Eratoshenes lived, people made maps of the Earth. However, they did not know very much ab

20、out the world outside of Europe, Asia, and north Africa. Mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the Earth until people began traveling around the world in the fifteenth century, mapping small areas each time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people began making correct maps of countrie

21、s, but the first accurate maps of the world were not made until the 1890s.Maps today are reliable, inexpensive, and easy to understand. People depend on maps every day.

38、nning out for the Palestinian leader , Yasser Arafat .On September 11, Israel（以色列）announced its decision to remove him , following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel . “He should be punished for the killings ,” an Israeli official said , “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist gro

39、ups .”But the decision has angered many other countries . China said that Arafat is the true leader , elected by the Palestinian people , and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East . This idea is shared by other governments .Arafat himself said : “They can kill me , but never get me ou

40、t of my country .” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel .But , just like a cat with nine lives , Arafat escaped every time .For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night , thinking a moving person is harder to hit . In 1985 , Israel

41、 sent fighter planes to kill Arafat . The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt . In 1992 , the aircraft in which he was flying over north Africa broke in two during a crash landing . The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive .What is so unbelievable is t

42、hat he always remains calm in great danger .Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ramallah in December , 2001 .

48、rs attitude towards Arafats future, judging from the last sentence of the passage? AHopeful. B.Interesting. CSatisfactory. DDoubtful.(B)A new period is coming. Call it what you will: the service industry, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a great change in the way we w

49、ork. Already were partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen sharply in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more are in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the r

50、ise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breath of the great change cant be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held opinions about

51、jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between workers and employers-all these are being doubted.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have seen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(芯片

52、), would change our world thanks to its uses in personal computers, and factory equipment. Tomorrows achievements in biotechnology or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of great changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more importa

53、nt, and the people who own it, whether they work in factories or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to deal with problems by making use of information instead of performing regu

54、lar tasks will be valued above all else. If you look ahead 10 years, information service will be leading the way. It will be the way you do your job.61Information age means _.Athe service industry is depending more and more on women workersBheavy industries are rapidly increasingCpeople find it hard

55、er and harder to earn a living by working in factoriesDmost of the job chances can now be found in the service industry.62Knowledge society brings about a great change that _.Athe difference between the workers and employers has become smallerBpeoples old ideas about work no longer existCmost people

56、 have to take part-time jobs Dpeople have to change their jobs from time to time63What does the author mean by referring to computers and other inventions?APeople should be able to act quickly to the advancement of technology.BFuture achievements in technology will bring about big changes.CThe impor

57、tance of high technology has been paid no attention to.DComputer science will play a leading role in the future information services.64The future will probably belong to those who _.Aown and know how to make use of information Bcan read and write wellCdevote themselves to service industries Dlook ah

58、ead instead of looking back(C) One of the United States social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but t

59、wo parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers

60、 outside marriage, with generally terrible results for the mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect-they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorc

61、e and extramarital affairsbut the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is dearest to them,

62、the majority would say“family”.And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work-that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week-than they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world, owing in large measure to“workaholism”（工作狂）.It seems to me that Ch

63、inese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. I dont see the number of workaholics in China that I do in the United States（or American organizations in China）.Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work（in the office or field），have meals together, and spend time with their family members. Whats more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins th
