In 1995 about 700,000
robots were operating in the industrialized world. Over 500,000 were used in
Japan, about 120,000 in Western Europe, and about 2,000 in the United States.
Many robot applications are for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant
for human beings. In medical laboratories, robots handle potentially hazardous
materials, such as blood or urine samples. In other cases, robots are used in
repetitive’, monotonous tasks in which human performance might degrade over
time. Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a
day without fatigue. A major user of robots is the automobile industry. General
Motors Corporation uses approximately 16,000 robots for tasks such as spot
welding, painting, machine loading, parts transfer, and assembly. Assembly is

Security concerns have
prompted the federal departments of State and Homeland Security to tighten the
process for issuing visas and to impose rigorous new monitoring procedures for
many international students once they enter the United States. Colleges have
struggled to comply with new reporting requirements and deal with admitted
students whose entry into the country has been delayed by the new
procedures.
One result of these problems has been a renewed
discussion of the presence of substantial numbers of international students on
U.S. campuses. Anecdotal reports suggest that the number of new internati6nal
students entering the United States is declining.
The downward
trend is consistent with data on the number of student visas being issued by the
State Department. Applications by Arab and Muslim men and those of any student
seeking to study science had to be sent to Washington for review, and men fro
A. Because the new reporting requirements demand so.
B. There is a large number of international students on U.S. campuses.
C. Because of its concern of civil security.
D. There are too many students applying to study in U.S..

"The Icarus Girl" is the
story of 8-year-old Jessamy Harrison, nicknamed Jess. The daughter of a Nigerian
mother and an English father, she is a troubled child given to tantrums and
uncontrollable screaming fits. She has no friends, hates school and is far
happier sitting inside a cupboard or writing haiku alone in her bedroom. Quite
naturally worried by all this, her mother decides that a change of scenery is in
order, so she takes the family away from its home in England and back to Nigeria
for a brief visit. Initially, Jess feels out of place there as well -- until she
meets Titiola, a mysterious girl of exactly her own age, whom she calls
TillyTilly.
From the start, there’s something not quite right
about TiUyTilly: she seems out of proportion. "Was she too tall and yet too ...
small at the same time Was her neck too long Her fingers " At first, she
merely echoes Jess’s words, but she soon develops into

The wave of job cuts
sweeping through the utility sector gathered pace yesterday with 800 more
redundancies planned by two electricity groups joining forces in order to meet
regulator’s price demands and improve efficiency.
Trade unions
expressed anger that the announcement by two foreign-owned utilities, London
Electricity and Eastern Electricity, came during the period immediately before
Christmas. They noted that it arrived on the back of nearly 1,300 other job
losses in this sector since early October.
Half of the 160,000
jobs in the electricity sector have gone since privatization in 1988.
More than 2,000 redundancies have also been announced recently by water
companies, and more are expected from United Utilities as they, too, seek to
meet tougher regulatory targets.
Not everyone in the industry is
convinced that the current spate of job cuts in the utility sector is
justified.
A. speeded up
B. slowed down
C. continued
D. ended

[简答题]We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or ploughed the field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest ill s in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, hut they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized.
