Text 1
Wild Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet. The American spymaster who built
the Office of Strategic Services in the World War II and later laid the roots for
the CIA was fascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools
came to hand in the "great game " of espionage-----spying as a "profession." These
days the Net, which has already re-made pastimes as buying books and sending mail,
is reshaping Donovan's vocation as well.
The last revolution isn't simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen's
e-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades. In the past
three or four years, the world wide web has given birth to a whole industry of
point-and-click spying. The spooks call it "open source intelligence," and as the
Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential. in 1995 the CIA held a contest
to see who could compile the most data about Burundi. The winner, by a large margin,
was a tiny Virginia company called Open-Source Solutions，whose clear advantage was
its mastery of the electronic world.
Among the firms making the biggest splash in the new world is Straitford, Inc.,
a private intelligence-analysis firm based in Austin, Texas. Straitford makes money
by selling the results of spying(covering nations from Chile to Russia) to
corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International. Many of its
predictions are available online at www.straitford.com.
Straifford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind
of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a
spymaster's dream. Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from the far
corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine." As soon as that report
runs, we'll suddenly get 500 new internet sign-ups from Ukraine," says Friedman,
a former political science professor. "And we'll hear back from some of them."
Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell
good information from bad. That 'sswheresStraitford earns its keep.
Friedman relies on a lean staff in Austin. Several of his staff members have
military-intelligence backgrounds. He sees the firm's outsider status as the key
to its success. Straitford's briefs don't sound like the usual Washington back-and
forthing, whereby agencies avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be
wrong. Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.
41. The emergence of the Net has
A. received support from fans like Donovan.
B. remolded the intelligence services.
C. restored many common pastimes.
D. revived spying as a profession.
42.Donovan's story is mentioned in the text to
A. introduce the topic of online spying.
B. show how he fought for the U.S.
C. give an episode of the information war.
D. honor his unique services to the CIA.
43.The phrase“making the biggest splash”(line 1,paragraph 3)most probably means
A. causing the biggest trouble.
B. exerting the greatest effort.
C. achieving the greatest success.
D. enjoying the widest popularity.
44.It can be learned from paragraph 4 that
A. Straitford's prediction about Ukraine has proved true.
B. Straitford guarantees the truthfulness of its information.
C. Straitford's business is characterized by unpredictability.
D. Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information.
45.Straitford is most proud of its
A. official status.
B. nonconformist image.
C. efficient staff.
D. military background.

To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke,“all that is needed for
the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.”One such cause
now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights
ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal
rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening
advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement target
biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand
the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in
research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.
For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent
street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything
that opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research.
When assured that they do, she replied,“Then I would have to say yes.”Asked what
will happen when epidemics return, she said,“Don’t worry, scientists will find
some way of using computers.”Such well-meaning people just don's understand.
Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate,
understandable way-in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need
to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's hip
replacement, a father's bypass operation a baby's vaccinations, and even a pet's
shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these
treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful
at best and cruel at worst.
Much can be done. Scientists could“adopt”middle school classes and present
their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest
animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of
truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory
animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients,
the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only
well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements
about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good
people do nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will
extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.
46.The author begins his article with Edmund Burke's words to
A. call on scientists to take some actions.
B. criticize the misguided cause of animal rights.
C. warn of the doom of biomedical research.
D. show the triumph of the animal rights movement.
47.Misled people tend to think that using an animal in research is
A. cruel but natural.
B. inhuman and unacceptable.
C. inevitable but vicious.
D. pointless and wasteful.
48.The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the public's
A. discontent with animal research.
B. ignorance about medical science.
C. indifference to epidemics.
D. anxiety about animal rights.
49.The author believes that, in face of the challenge from animal rights
advocates, scientists should
A. communicate more with the public.
B. employ hi-tech means in research.
C. feel no shame for their cause.
D. strive to develop new cures.
50. From the text we learn that Stephen Cooper is
A. a well-known humanist.
B. a medical practitioner.
C. an enthusiast in animal rights.
D. a supporter of animal research.

In
recent
years,
have
been
with
each
combining
railroads
other,
mergingsintossuper systems, causing heightened concerns about monopoly. As recently
as 1995,the top four railroads accounted for under 70 percent of the total ton-miles
moved by rails. Next year, after a series of mergers is completed, just four railroads
will control well over 90 percent of all the freight moved by major rail carriers.
Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for
substantial cost reductions and better coordinated service. Any threat of monopoly,
they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks. But many shippers complain
that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals,
and grain, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.
The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers are
served by only one rail company. Railroads typically charge such“captive”shippers
20 to 30 percent more than they do when another railroad is competing for the business.
Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the right to appeal to the federal
government's Surface Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process is
expensive, time consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
Railroads justify rate discrimination against captive shippers on the grounds
that in the long run it reduces everyone's cost. If railroads charged all customers
the same average rate, they argue, shippers who have the option of switching to trucks
or other forms of transportation would do so, leaving remaining customers to shoulder
the cost of keeping up the line. It's theory to which many economists subscribe,
but in practice it often leaves railroads in the position of determining which
companies will flourish and which will fail.“Do we really want railroads to be the
arbiters of who wins and who loses in the marketplace?”asks Martin Bercovici, a
Washington lawyer who frequently represents shipper.
Many captive shippers also worry they will soon be his with a round of huge rate
increases. The railroad industry as a whole, despite its brightening fortuning
fortunes. still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the capital it must invest
to keep up with its surging traffic. Yet railroads continue to borrow billions to
acquire one another, with Wall Street cheering them on. Consider the .2 billion bid
by Norfolk Southern and CSX to acquire Conrail this year. Conrail's net railway
operating income in 1996 was just million, less than half of the carrying costs of
the transaction. Who's going to pay for the rest of the bill? Many captive shippers
fear that they will, as Norfolk Southern and CSX increase their grip on the market.
51.According to those who support mergers railway monopoly is unlikely because
A. cost reduction is based on competition.
B. services call for cross-trade coordination.
C. outside competitors will continue to exist.
D. shippers will have the railway by the throat.
52.What is many captive shippers' attitude towards the consolidation in the rail
industry?
A. Indifferent.
B. Supportive.
C. Indignant.
D. Apprehensive.
53.It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that
A. shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad.
B. there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide.
C. overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief.
D. a government board ensures fair play in railway business.
54.The word“arbiters”(line 7,paragraph 4)most probably refers to those
A. who work as coordinators.
B. who function as judges.
C. who supervise transactions.
D. who determine the price.
55.According to the text, the cost increase in the rail industry is mainly caused
by
A. the continuing acquisition.
B. the growing traffic.
C. the cheering Wall Street.
D. the shrinking market.

It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in
California optional Small wonder. Americans' life expectancy has nearly doubled over
the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled,
cataracts removed in a 30-minuts surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging
population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years
ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death-and our failure to
confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.
Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even
under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical
consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers
