23、 Please read Professor Humes email about his next lecture on Rose Parks.Susan MillerSecretary*Dear Susan,Please forward this message to students of my history class.Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories

24、 that can be borrowed from the school library.Ted HumeThe early experiences of Rosa Parke(19132005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,” were not different from those of many African- Americans at that time. The black woman, however, turned the course of American history in Dece

25、mber 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down, remarked John Lewis, “she was standing up for all Americans. ”Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1999).Parks die

26、d on Oct. 24, 2005. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Celebrated her life. Rice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have realized her impact (影响) on their lives,

27、“but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”After her casket(灵柩) was placed at the Capitol, U.S. President Bush, members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in st

31、he was honored to lie in state at the Capitol.B The United States government wants to know what the pubic thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals. The food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F.D.A. official cal

32、led them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代) are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F.D.A. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food. The United States this y

33、ear could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agenc

34、y says it must receive comments by April second. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago, but an advisory committee called for more research. For now, the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals. Clones are still rare. They c

35、ost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities. Public opinion studies show most Am

36、ericans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so-called donor animals is grown into an embryo(胚胎) in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uteru

37、s(子宫) of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.60. From the passage we know that _.

A. tell an interesting story B. give some advice on foods C. give a report D. compare different opinions62. Who believe that foods from cloning are safe to eat? A. Most Ame

39、ricans B. An advisory committeeC. Critics D. The F.D.A.CAs societies develop, their members start to see things not so much according to what they need, but according to what they want. When people have enough money, these wants become demands.Now, its important for the managers in a company to unde

40、rstand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective making strategies(策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way at supermarkets(超市), for example, is to interview(采访) customers while theyre doing their shopping. They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the resul

41、ts of the research can be studied. This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies. Its also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if they were ordinary customers, to get an i

42、dea of how customers act.Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers i

43、nto the restaurants to spend their money, it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age groups to attract.Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touring the park dressed a

44、s Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.63.

47、mmunications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a c

48、rime.If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often

49、flooded with spam e-mail. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely o

50、n e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results n a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their net

51、works. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a to

52、ol which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.67. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph l probably mean?A. Messages B. Ideas C. Connections D. Programs68. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flood

53、ing spam?A. Companies rely on e-mail for communicationsB. More people in the world communicate by e-mailC. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mailsD. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam69. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?A. The business B. The advertiser

54、C. The employee D. The consumer70. What is the purpose of the text?A. To inform B. To educate C. To persuade D.
