This is how the new machines work. A machine is placed in an area far away from the person who controls it. The person wears a special hard hat with tiny television screens. The screens【23】the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. This gives the person the feeling of being in the same place【24】the machine. The person controls the machine. The machine follows the person's movements exactly. If the person raises his right arm, the machine raises the right arm, too. This means an【25】worker can do a dangerous job while【26】in a safe place. For example, a person can direct the machine【27】a bomb【28】gooing near the bomb himself. The new machines are not exactly【29】robots. Robots are controlled by a computer. The new machines are controlled by a person. The new machines are called teleoperators. The nuclear power industry is especially interested in teleoperators. The machines could solve the problem of【30】radioactive materials. (66) A．is developing B．has developed C．develops D．is being developed

In the 1980's, real estate prices soared to super inflated levels, and investors sank their money into the booming stock market. There seemed to be no end in sight for the land of the rising sun. Everything was rising, and the government, financial institutions, and individuals paid little heed to the warning signs of an imminent crash. Then, the bubble burst, and land and stock prices plunged. What is the result of the crash？ Many companies have faltered due to poor sales and bad debt, and have closed their doors. The domino effect on many financial institutions is that they must- bear an enormous number of unrecoverable loads, which have resulted when companies, depending on profits from land in vestments to repay loans, have fund themselves insolvent. Furthermore, many individual depositors, fearing a collapse of more banks and securities companies, have withdrawn their money in droves. Attempts by tile government to revitalize the sluggish and contracting economy have proven fruitless. Pump-priming measures including tax cuts and public works spending have done little to put the economy on tract again. What's more, the government's decision to increase the consumption tax from 3 to 5 percent in 1997 has had a devastating impact on consumer spending. As for the business sector, companies have tried various measures to streamline management, but other ill effects of such policies, including rising unemployment among older workers, have surfaced and have dealt a huge blow to the recovery process, Japan' s faltering economy has had an impact on other Asian countries, and some fear that the whole region will be drawn into depression. What will stem the tide of further economic collapse？ For one, Japan must stabilize its financial system and take immediate and effective measures to deal with non – performing loans. Revealing the severity of the problem to the public and foreign governments is an essential first step. A more vital solution might be to institute a permanent tax cut to stimulate consumer spending and confidence in the government' s handling of the situation. Ultimately, this will encourage domestic demand for goods and services and will be the driving force behind much of the recovery, That' s the bottom line. Of course, many more factors including deregulation will play a vital role in expediting economic stabilization and growth. Whatever the case, action must be carried out swiftly and decisively. A passive and .reticent approach to reform. and change is what has hampered any improvement so far. Other nations have encouraged Japan to step up the pace of implementing change, but Japan must make the first step . . . or else we might be witnessing the setting of this great rising sun. Japan's current economic crisis is the worst since ______. A．World War Ⅰ B．World War Ⅱ C．the Gulf War D．the Korean War

I inherited my one litmus test from my father, Jim Alter, who flew 33 harrowing missions over Nazi Germany during World War 11. My father is not just a veteran who by all odds should not have survived. He is a true patriot. His litmus test is the proposal to amend the Constitution to ban flag burning, which will come up for a vote next week in the U. S. Senate. For dad—and me—any member of Congress who supports amending the Bill of Rights for the first time in the history of this country for a nonproblem like flag burning is showing serious disrespect for our Constitution and for the values for which brave Americans gave their lives. Such disrespect is a much more serious threat than the random idiots who once every decade or so try (often unsuccessfully) to burn a flag. Our understandable outrage at flag burning shouldn't turn our brains to mush. "I feel the same sense of outrage, but I would not amend that great shield of democracy (the Constitution) to hammer a few miscreants," Colin Powell said when the issue last came up (his position has not changed). "The flag will be flying proudly long after they have slunk away." Powell argues that a constitutional ban on flag burning is a sign of weakness and fear. John Glenn, another of the thousands of combat veterans against the amendment (they have banded together in a group called Veterans Defending the Bill of Rights), notes that "those 10 amendments we call the Bill of Rights have never been changed or altered by one iota, not by one word, not a single time in all of American history. There was not a single change during any of our foreign wars, and not during recessions or depressions or panics. Not a single change when we were going through times of great emotion and anger like the Vietnam era, when flag after flag was burned or desecrated. There is only one way to weaken our nation. The way to weaken our nation would be to erode the freedom that we all share." Actually, even during the Vietnam War, flag burning was rare. By one count, there have been only 45 such incidents in 200 years, and fewer than half a dozen since it was outlawed in 1989. Should the Constitution be amended, however, the incidence of flag burning is expected to surge as a form. of civil disobedience. What began as a phony issue designed to prove patriotism (usually on the part of those who never served, the primary sponsors) could become a real concern. The flag-burning amendment, which already passed the House, is apparently just short of the 67 needed in the Senate. With one or two absences, the amendment would be approved. It would then go to the states for ratification, where its chances for approval appear good. Senators afraid of being seen as soft on flag burners should just adopt the Hillary Clinton dodge: support for a statute, but not an amendment. Another law is a dopey idea (an earlier one was struck down by the Supreme Court), but it's politically safe and better than perverting the Constitution. To make matters worse, the amendment is vaguely worded, which led to fatuous debate in the Senate over whether a woman wearing a skimpy bathing suit patterned with stars and stripes was guilty of desecration. Bloggers wondered the same thing about President Bush's new habit of autographing flags when he shakes hands on rope lines. Unconstitutional？ With a war on and a hundred other pressing problems, it's nice to see our elected representatives focused on what really counts. The usual litmus tests-abortion, gun control, Iraq-shouldn't be. Reasonable and sincere people can disagree, w A．The effectiveness of litmus test is greatly undermined by its failure to judge politicians on a variety of positions. B．It's unfair to exclude a politician who fails a certain litmus test from the presidency. C．Current litmus tests like abortion or gun control are not reliable indicators of public opinions. D．Some specific litmus tests on certain issues axe fundamental in shaping people' s judgment of politicians.

The rains hit India hardest in Punjab (旁遮普邦), which was transformed into a wasteland of collapsed houses and dead cattle. In the village of Doomchheri, 40 km southwest of Chandigarh, Punjab's capital, floods rising to a height of 4m washed away 400 of the 700 homes and destroyed all the crops. Jaswant Kaur and her family of five clung to trees when their mud hut collapsed. One cousin drowned; the other four swam to safety, reaching the second story of a neighbor's home. Wailed Jaswant:" What have we done to be cursed like this ？" In the country the armed forces were mobilized to help. In Punjab 5,000 uniformed men used helicopters and assault boats to rescue victims isolated by flood, distribute food and medicine and, finally, remove the dead. Near the town of Patiala, 85 km south of Chandigarh, all 16 members of a rescue team drowned when their boat tipped over in 4m waves. One soldier named Sohan Singh could have survived, witnesses reported, but he ordered panic-stricken villagers to cling to him while he struggled toward safety. His body was found four days later, along with two dead villagers whose arms were wrapped around one of his legs. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？ A．Curse of Heaven B．Floods Hit India C．Floods Claim Hundreds of Lives D．A Terrible Disaster
