12、 a record glorifying the murder of police, which is entitled Cop Killer by the rapper Ice-T on the album Boby Count ? The album is released by Warner Bros. Records, part of the Time Warner media and entertainment conglomerate.In a Wall Street Journal oped piece laying out the companys position, Time
13、 Warner co CEO Gerald Levin makes two defenses. First, Ice-Ts Cop Killer is misunderstood. “It doesnt induce or glorify violence. Its his fictionalized attempt to get inside a characters head . Cop Killer is no more a call for gunning down the police than Frankie and Johnny is a summons for jilted l
14、overs to shoot one another. Instead of “finding ways to silence the messenger,“ we should be “heeding the anguished cry contained in his message.“This defense is self-contradictory. Frankie and Johnny does not pretend to have a political “message“ that must be “heeded. If Cop Killer has a message, i
15、t is that the murder of policemen is a justified response to police brutality. And not in self-defense, but in premeditated acts of revenge against random cops. Killing policemen is a good thing-that is the plain meaning of the song, and no “larger understanding“ of black culture, the rage of the st
16、reets or anything else can explain it away. As in much of .todays popular music, the line between performer and performance is purposely blurred. These are political sermonettes clearly intended to support the sentiments being expressed. Tracy Marrow (Ice-T) himself has said, “I scared the police, a
17、nd they need to be scared.“ That seems clear.The companys second defense of Cop Killer is the classic one of free expression: “We stand for creative freedom. We believe that the worth of what an artist or journalist has to say does not depend on preapproval from a government official or a corporate
18、censor.“Of course Ice-T has the right to say whatever he wants. But that doesnt require any company to provide him an Outlet. And it doesnt relieve a company of responsibility for the messages it chooses to promote. Judgment is not “censorship. “Many an “anguished cry“ goes unrecorded. This one was
19、recorded, and promoted, because a successful artist under contract wanted to record it. Nothing wrong with making money, but a company cannot take the money and run from the responsibility.The founder of Time, Henry Luce, would have scorned the notion that his company provided a value-free forum for
20、 the exchange of ideas. In Luces system, editors were supposed to make value judgments and promote the truth as they saw it.(分数:10.00)(1).In the eyes of the author, Ice-Ts Cop Killer should be condemned forA praising acts of violence against police.B seeking to earn enormous sums of money.C working
21、under contract with a company.D exercising revenge against random cops.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(2).Gerald Levin mentions the case of Frankie and Johnny to justifyA calling for creative freedom.B bringing home to self-defenses.C perceiving true messages.D accepting the murder of lovers.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(3).
22、It is often claimed that some messages conveyed in popular musicA are nothing but fictions.B are intended for performers.C are supposed to be true.D are too vague to recognize.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(4).The author asserts that Gerald Levins defenses of Cop Killer areA unreasonable but clear.B illogical an
23、d outmoded.C simple and responsible.D fresh but superficial.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(5).It can be learned that the company has moved far from its foundersA notional rigidity.B creative styles.C official images.D media criteria.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.五、Text 2(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Under pressure from animal welfare grou
24、ps, two national science teachers associations have adopted guidelines that ban classroom experiments harming animals. The National Association of Biology Teachers and the National Science Teachers Association hope to end animal abuse in elementary and secondary schools and, in turn, discourage stud
25、ents from mishandling animals in home experiments and science fair projects.Animal welfare groups are apparently most concerned with high school students experimenting with animals in extracurricular projects. Barbara Orlans, President of the Scientists Center for Animal Welfare, said that students
26、have been performing surgery at random, testing known poisonous substances, and running other pathology experiments on animals without even knowing normal physiology.At one science fair, a student cut off the leg and tail of a lizard to demonstrate that only the tail can regenerate, she said. In ano
27、ther case, a student bound sparrows, starved them and observed their behavior.“The amount of abuse has been quite horrifying,“ Orlans said.Administrators of major science fairs are short-tempered over the teachers policy change and the impression it has created. “The teachers were sold a bill of goo
28、ds by Barbara Orlans,“ said Thurman Grafton, who heads the rules committee for the International Science and Engineering Fair. “Backyard tabletop surgery is just nonsense. The new policies throw cold water on students inquisitiveness,“ he said.Grafton said he wouldnt deny that there hasnt been anima
29、l abuse among projects at the international fair, but he added that judges reject contestants who have unnecessarily injured animals. The judges have a hard time monitoring local and regional fairs that may or may not choose to comply with the international fairs rules that stress proper care of ani
30、mals, Grafton said.He said that several years ago, the Westinghouse Science Talent Search banned harmful experiments to animals when sponsors threatened to cancel their support after animal welfare groups lobbied for change.The teachers adopted the new policies also to fend off proposed legislation-
31、in states including Missouri and New York that would restrict or prohibit experiments on animals.Officials of the two teachers organizations say that they dont know how many animals have been abused in the classroom. On the one hand, many biology teachers are not trained in the proper care of animal
32、s, said Wayne Moyer, executive director of the biology teachers association. On the other, the use of animals in experiments has dropped in recent years because of school budget cuts. The association may set up seminars to teach better animal care to its members.(分数:10.00)(1).The title which best ex
33、presses the content of the text isA Science Teachers to Ban Testing Harmful to Animals.B Teachers Policy Change in Experiment on Animals.C The New Policies of Banning Harmful Experiments to Animals.D The Importance of Prohibiting Harmful Experiments on Animals.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(2).According to the t
34、ext, animal welfare groups have succeeded inA stopping all animal abuse in schools.B establishing guidelines that ban classroom experiments harming animals.C protecting animals from being experimented with in extracurricular projects.D persuading two national science teachers associations to adopt a
35、n animal protection policy.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(3).Thurman Grafton suggests thatA animal abuse is horrible and should be terminated.B the teachers have been compelled to do all animal experiments.C prohibition of experiments on animals will discourage students from being curious.D the international sci
36、ence and Engineering Fair will cease to operate because of the new policies.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(4).It can be learned from the text that the teachers ban harmful experiments to animals in order toA maintain ecological balance.B please animal welfare groups.C get financial support from their sponsors.D
37、protect necessary harmless experiments on animals.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(5).It is suggested toward the end of the text thatA the seriousness of animal abuse in the classroom is unknown.B training teachers in animal care may contribute to reducing animal abuse.C fewer animals have been used in experiments
38、 in recent years.D many biology teachers are not trained in proper care of animal.(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supre
39、me luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divided world, a laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relati
40、ons may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on the most complex and subtle of all-human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide
41、popularity of Charlie Chaplains early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, “Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the
42、same way. “A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from refined tinkle to an earthquaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny
43、 side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lopsided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on
44、the brink of war, political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They en
45、able us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about wars in Gullivers Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they cant agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we are meant
46、to laugh; hut we are meant to weep too. It is no wonder that in totalitarian regimes any satire against the Establishment is wholly banned. It is too powerful weapon to be allowed to flourish.The sense of humor must be singled out as mans most important quality because it is associated with laughter
47、. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative-these are qualities we share with other forms oflife. But the sense of humor is an unique human quality. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.(分数:1
