6、Text 2For more than two decades, U.S. courts have been limiting affirmative-action programs in universities and other areas. The legal rationale is that racial preferences are unconstitutional, even those intended to compensate for racism or intolerance. For many colleges, this means students can be admitted only on merit, not on their race or ethnicity. It has been a divisive issue across the U.S., as educators blame the prolonged reaction to affirmative-action for declines in minority admissions. Meanwhile, activists continue to battle race preferences in courts from Michigan to North Carolina. Now, chief executives of about two dozen companies have decided to plunge headfirst into this politically unsettled debate. They, together with 36 universities and 7 nonprofitable organizations, formed a forum that set forth an action plan essentially designed to help colleges circumvent court-imposed restrictions on affirmative action. The CEOs’ motive: “Our audience is growing more diverse, so the communities we serve benefit if our employees are racially and ethnically diverse as well”, says one CEO of a compang that owns nine television stations. Among the steps the forum is pushing: finding creative yet legal ways to boost minority enrollment through new admissions policies; promoting admissions decisions that look at more than test scores; and encouraging universities to step up their minority outreach and financial aid. And to counter accusations by critics to challenge these tactics in court, the group says it will give legal assistance to colleges sued for trying them. “Diversity diminished by the court must be made up for in other legitimate, legal ways,” says, a forum member. One of the more controversial methods advocated is the so-called 10% rule. The idea is for public universities—which educate three-quarters of all U.S. undergraduates—to admit students who are in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. Doing so allows colleges to take minorities who excel in average urban schools, even if they wouldn’t have made the cut under the current statewide ranking many universities use.
第26题:U.S. court restrictions on affirmative action signifies that______.
[A]minorities no longer hold the once favored status [B]the quality of American colleges has improved [C]racial preferences has replaced racial prejudice [D]the minority is on an equal footing with the majority

7、第27题:What has been a divisive issue across the United States?
[A]Whether affirmative action should continue to exist. [B]Whether this law is helping minorities or the white majority. [C]Whether racism exists in American college admission. [D]Whether racial intolerance should be punished.

8、第28题:CEOs of big companies decided to help colleges enroll more minority students because they_____.
[A]think it wrong to deprive the minorities of their rights to receive education [B]want to conserve the fine characteristics of American nation [C]want a workforce that reflects the diversity of their customers [D]think it their duty to help develop education of the country

9、第29题:The major tactic the forum uses is to_____.
[A]battle the racial preferences in court [B]support colleges involved in lawsuits of racism [C]strive to settle this political debate nationwide [D]find legally viable ways to ensure minority admissions

10、第30题:If the 10% rule is applied, ______.
[A]the best white high school students can get into colleges [B]public universities can get excellent students [C]students from poor rural families can go to colleges [D]good minority students can get into public universities

11、Text 3Positive surprises from government reports on retail sales, industrial production, and housing in the past few months are leading economists to revise their real gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts upward supporting the notion that the recession ended in December or January. Bear in mind: This recovery won’t have the vitality normally associated with an upturn. Economists now expect real GDP growth of about 1.5 in the first quarter. That’s better than the 0.4 the consensus projected in December, but much of the additional growth will come from a slower pace of inventory drawdowns, not from surging demand. Moreover, the economy won’t grow fast enough to help the labor markets much. The only good news there is that jobless claims have fallen back from their spike after September 11 and that their current level suggests the pace of layoffs is easing. The recovery also does not mean the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon. The January price indexes show that inflation remains tame. Consequently, the Fed can take its time shifting monetary policy from extreme accommodation to relative neutrality. Perhaps the best news from the latest economic reports was the January data on industrial production. Total output fell only 0.1, its best showing since July. Factory output was flat, also the best performance in six months. Those numbers may not sound encouraging, but manufacturers have been in recession since late 2000. The data suggest that the factory sector is finding a bottom from which to start its recovery. Production of consumer goods, for instance, is almost back up to where it was a year ago. That’s because consumer demand for motor vehicles and other goods and the housing industry remained healthy during the recession, and they are still growing in early 2002. Besides, both the monthly homebuilding starts number and the housing market index for the past two months are running above the averages for all of 2001, suggesting that home-building is off to a good start and probably won’t be big drag on GDP growth this year. Equally important to the outlook is how the solid housing market will help demand for home-related goods and services. Traditionally, consumers buy the bulk of their furniture, electronics, and textiles within a year of purchasing their homes. Thus, spending on such items will do well this year, even as car sales slip now that incentives are less attractive. Look for the output of consumer goods to top year-ago level in coming months. Even the business equipment sector seems to have bottomed out. Its output rose 0.4% in January, led by a 0.6% jump computer gear. A pickup in orders for capital goods in the fourth quarter suggests that production will keep increasing—although at a relaxed pace—in coming months.
第31题:American economists are surprised to see that______.
[A]they have to revise the GDP forecasts so often [B]their government is announcing the end of a recession [C]US economy is showing some signs of an upturn [D]GDP growth reflects stronger domestic demand

12、第32题:The most encouraging fact about the US economy is that_____ .
[A]employment rates have risen faster than expected [B]the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon [C]industrial production is reaching its lowest point [D]some economic sectors have become leading industries

13、第33题:Of which of the following did the author provide a guardedly optimistic view?
[A]GDP growth. [B]The number of layoffs. [C]Price indexes. [D]Output of consumer goods.

14、第34题:Which of the following is the guarantee of a better future for US economy?
[A]Motor vehicles. [B]Housing market. [C]Business equipment. [D]Computer gear.

15、第35题:Which of the following best summarizes the U. S. economic situation today?
[A]American economists are painting a gloomy picture. [B]It is slowly warming up with moderate growth. [C]Recession may come back anytime in the coming months. [D]Most sectors are picking up at a surprisingly fast pace.

16、Text 4Timothy Berners-Lee might be giving Bill Gates a run for the money, but he passed up his shot at fabulous wealth—intentionally—in 1990. That’s when he decided not to patent the technology used to create the most important software innovation in the final decade of the 20th century: the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee wanted to make the world a richer place, not a mass personal wealth. So he gave his brainchild to us all. Berners-Lee regards today’s Web as a rebellious adolescent that can never fulfill his original expectations. By 2005, he hopes to begin replacing it with the Semantic Web—a smart network that will finally understand human languages and make computers virtually as easy to work with as other humans. As envisioned by Berners-Lee, the new Web would understand not only the meaning of words and concepts but also the logical relationships among them. That has awesome potential. Most knowledge is built on two pillars: semantics and mathematics. In number-crunching, computers already outclass people. Machines that are equally adroit at dealing with language and reason won’t just help people uncover new insights; they could blaze new trails on their own. Even with a fairly crude version of this future Web, mining online repositories for nuggets of knowledge would no longer force people to wade through screen after screen of extraneous data. Instead, computers would dispatch intelligent agents, or software messengers, to explore Web sites by the thousands and logically sift out just what’s relevant. That alone would provide a major boost in productivity at work and at home. But there’s far more. Software agents could also take on many routine business chores, such as helping manufacturers find and negotiate with lowest-cost parts suppliers and handling help-desk questions. The Semantic Web would also be a bottomless trove of eureka insights. Most inventions and scientific breakthroughs, including today’s Web, spring from novel combinations of existing knowledge. The Semantic Web would make it possible to evaluate more combinations overnight than a person could juggle in a lifetime. Sure scientists and other people can post ideas on the Web today for others to read. But with machines doing the reading and translating technical terms, related ideas from millions of Web pages could be distilled and summarized. That will lift the ability to assess and integrate information to new heights. The Semantic Web, Berners-Lee predicts, will help more people become more intuitive as well as more analytical. It will foster global collaborations among people with diverse cultural perspectives, so we have a better chance of finding the right solutions to the really big issues—like the environment and climate warming.
第36题:Had he liked, Berners-Lee could have _____.
[A]created the most important innovation in the 1990s [B]accumulated as much personal wealth as Bill Gates [C]patented the technology of Microsoft software [D]given his brainchild to us all

17、第37题:The Semantic Web will be superior to today’s web in that it _____.
[A]surpasses people in processing numbers [B]fulfills user’s original expectations [C]deals with language and reason as well as number [D]responds like a rebellious adult

18、第38题:To search for any information needed on tomorrow’s Web, one only has to _____.
[A]wade through screen after screen of extraneous data [B]ask the Web to dispatch some messenger to his door [C]use smart software programs called “agents” [D]explore Web sites by the thousands and pick out what’s relevant

19、第39题:Thanks to the Web of the future, _____.
[A]millions of web pages can be translated overnight [B]one can find most inventions and breakthroughs online [C]software manufacturers can lower the cost of computer parts [D]scientists using different specialty terms can collaborate much better

20、第40题:The most appropriate title for this text is.
