The Conservative British paper The Daily Telegraph, granted an exclusive opportunity to photograph the 83-year-old former general, counted up to nine armed policemen in and around the property in Surrey, to the southwest of London. Three inspectors from Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist unit are permanently posted in one of the building's nine rooms, close to the main door which is guarded by two porters. Other officers patrol with police dogs, searching visitors and their vehicles. Members of the Surrey police force also maintain surveillance on the property in the exclusive suburb of Wentworth. Home Secretary Jack Straw allocated an additional 200,000 pounds in early March to cover policing costs. That sum is trifling, however, compared to the millions of pounds already spent on legal costs. Police keep bystanders, including journalists, at a distance, as well as the protesters who each Saturday beat drums and chant "murderer" in Pinochet's direction. Authorities are also alert to the possibility of a commando operation aimed at freeing the former general, though this is considered improbable given the good relations between Britain and Chile. In permitting Pinochet to stay in the villa, British officials relaxed his conditions of detention. Pinochet is also allowed to step out onto the patio once the yard has been combed by inspectors with sniffer dogs. "The police follow him everywhere, even when he goes to the toilet. It's an intolerable situation, 'an unidentified person close to Pinochet complained to The Daily Telegraph. Until now, the former leader has only left Wentworth once, to hear Spain's formal request for extradition, while a request to attend Christmas Mass was refused. He receives visitors--Chilean political allies, diplomats, officials or supporters of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who are indignant at how a man they call a "friend of Great Britain" is being treated. Thatcher has spoken out in Pinochet's defense and cited support he gave Britain during its 1982 war with Argentina over the Malvinas Islands. Pinochet starts his day scouring the newspapers and surfing the Internet in search of items concerning himself. How many armed policemen were stationed to protect Augusto Pinochet？ A．9. B．12. C．14 D．11.

MAN: Yes. Thank the university to allow me to come to talk to you all afternoon. The reason for my visit here is to outline a problem that female international visitors and students have been having in the Darlinghurst area. WOMAN: We all heard that for the last month or so, thieves have targeted the area snatching handbags and backpacks from unsuspected women. Why in the Darlinghurst area？ MAN: As you probably know. Darlinghurst is very popular with tourists for shopping and sightseeing and it's also a popular meeting meeting place for students. There are lots of cafes and coffee shops and unfortunately, we have had some thieves taking advantage of these conditions. WOMAN: Can you tell us about the thieves more specifically？ MAN: Sure. The thieves are young and fit. They grab the bag from the woman's shoulder or out of her hand when she's involved with something else, you know, deep in conversation or window-shopping, so they grab the bag and then run away very quickly. By the time the victims realize what's happened, the young man's out of sight and there's little hope of catching him. WOMAN: You mean the thieves usually attack female by themselves？ MAN: They used to. But now it seems they're becoming braver arid targeting women in groups. Age doesn't seem to matter to the thieves, it's just a matter of opportunity. They look for someone who isn't consciously protecting their bag and for a place with an easy getaway, you know, not too crowded. WOMAN: Are any of these thieves caught？ MAN: We've only had two of these bag-snatchers almost caught when the victims chased after them. Unfortunately, on both occasions, as soon as the women reached the thief, he threw the bag right at them and then escaped. WOMAN: Mr. Gray, can you give the students some suggestions to protect themselves from these brazen thieves？ MAN: Yeah. We don't encourage you to chase these thieves because we don't want to see anyone get hurt. So, what can you do？ Well, unfortunately, not much but we are asking that you be aware of this danger. If possible, hang onto your bags carefully and never leave your bags on the ground at one of the many cafes when you have a coffee or a meal and don't leave it on a chair or table-top even if you think it is in your sight. We also caution you about carrying anything too valuable in your bags. It seems like the thieves arc not only after cash. They've been using credit cards illegally on the Internet m purchase goods or access pornographic sites. So it is vital that you keep your credit card details and report to the police if it is stolen. Questions: 19.What is the problem that Mr. Gray describes to the students？ 20.Why is it difficult to chase the thieves？ 21.How many thieves have the police caught？ 22.Which of the following does Mr. Gray suggest the students to do？ (39) A．Women being robbed.

The charity group Plan International says 600 million Asian children are deprived of one of the seven basic needs used to define poverty, including food, safe water, shelter, health and education. And it says 350 million children, equivalent to the population of the European Union, are deprived of two or more basic needs, classifying them as absolutely poor. The group's executive director, Tom Miller, compares these figures to those of the victims from the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of southern Asia eight months ago. "Those numbers are absolutely staggering. The world has focused very much on Asia through the tsunami. But in many ways, what we're talking about is, this is a silent tsunami that is happening every single day." The group, basing its figures on United Nations statistics, says some Asian countries, like China and parts of Southeast Asia, have considerably reduced their numbers of poor children. But it says significant populations of poor people remain in isolated rural areas and among ethnic minorities. According to the news, which of the following is not among the basic needs used to define poverty？ A．food B．health C．education D．freedom

B: It’s quite difficult to make a kind of hierarchy of worry here, because so many issues are there, and so … and they’re all very very important. But I think it has to be said that as far as we we’re concerned, as a campaigning organization, it really is the rain forest that we are concentrating on most. If we don’t take action on that issue within the next five years, then environmental pressure groups won’t have anything to do in ten years’ time, because there won’t be any rain forests, really, for them to campaign about. So this is a critical period for the rain forests, the next five years, and there is enough flexibility in the system to allow us to hope that we’re going to be able to make some changes during that time. So that’s why we’ve made it our priority. A: What’s so important about the rain forests, then？ Er, what’s, what’s the difference between having them or not having them？ Isn’t it just, you know, basically either there’re a lot of trees there or there aren’t a lot of trees there？ B: Uhh…well that’s what some people would like to think. Um, there, it’s important in many different ways, important firstly for the countries themselves, in terms of the fact that millions of people depend on the rain forests for their livelihood, and for their … the quality of their environment, through the protection of watersheds, and so on. Secondly, they’re important because of the biological richness of the rain forests. Um, a genetic chest … treasure chest is how they’ve been described. Um, more than 60% of the world’s species is to be found in the rain forests. Write that off, and you write off that genetic storehouse. Lastly, they’re important at international level because of the impact on climate patterns that one would find if the rain forests were destroyed. So, whether you’re looking closely at the tribal people who depend on them, the countries which depend on them, the international community which depends on them, indeed the, the, you know, the creatures themselves, um, it’s actually the most critical issue that we face. And our prime job is of course to try and get people to understand how it is, even in countries where there are no rain forests, that they still have a connection with that rain forest. You will hear a recording about environmental issues. Mark one letter(A, B or C)for the correct answer. After you have listened once, replay the recording. According to the speaker, ______ is the most important environmental issues of the moment. A．air pollution B．water pollution C．rain forests

The process right now is to continue the interviews and then get back down underground and complete the inspections and in that way we can complete the investigation as to what happened. The brother-in-law of the miner killed says 43-year-old Dlae Reightler worked at the mine since he was a teenager and that he dreamed of moving his wife and four children, setting up an auto-repair business. He did it all his life. He did that and worked on cars in his garage backyard. He enjoyed doing that stuff. At the mine, the accident knocked out the ventilation system, making it too dangerous for investigators to go down into the mine shaft. Regulators ordered the facility closed until the investigation is complete. The area has the nation’s only deposits of anthracite, a type of hard, clean burning coal. A June inspection of the site turned up no violations and violations detected in August were fixed on site. The investigation was dangerous because ______. A．the mine was badly damaged B．the ventilation system was broken C．the mine was too deep D．the safety facility was destroyed
