20、ng letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Crossing Wesleyan Universitys campus usually requires walking over colorful messages chalked on the ground. They can be as innocent as meeting announcements, but in a growing number of cases the language
21、is meant to shock. Its not uncommon, for instance, to see lewd references to professors sexual preferences scrawled across a path or the mention of the word nigger that African-American students say make them feel uncomfortable. In response, officials and students at schools are now debating ways to
22、 lead their communities away from forms of expression that offend or harass (侵犯 ). In the process, theyre butting up against the difficulties of regulating speech at institutions that pride themselves on fostering open debate. Mr. Bennet of Wesleyan says he had gotten used to seeing occasional chalk
23、ings filled with four-letter words. Campus tradition made any horizontal surface not attached to a building a potential billboard. But when chalkings began taking on a more threatening and lewd tone, Bennet decided to act. “This is not acceptable in a workplace and not acceptable in an institution o
24、f higher learning,“ Bennet says. For now, Bennet is seeking input about what kind of message-posting policy the school should adopt. The student assembly recently passed a resolution saying the “right to speech comes with implicit responsibilities to respect community standards.“ Other public univer
25、sities have confronted problems this year while considering various ways of regulating where students can express themselves. At Harvard Law School, the recent controversy was more linked to the academic setting. Minority students there are seeking to curb what they consider harassing speech in the
26、wake of a series of incidents last spring. At a meeting held by the “Committee on Healthy Diversity“ last week, the schools Black Law Students Association endorsed a policy targeting discriminatory harassment. It would trigger a review by school officials if there were charges of “severe or pervasiv
27、e conduct“ by students or faculty. The policy would cover harassment based on, but not limited to, factors such as race, religion, creed, sexual orientation, national origin, and ethnicity (种族划分 ). Boston attorney Harvey Silverglate says other schools have adopted similar harassment policies that ar
28、e actually speech codes, punishing students for raising certain ideas. “Restricting students from saying anything that would be perceived as very unpleasant by another student continues uninterrupted,“ says Silverglate, who attended the Harvard Law town meeting last week. 21 What is the typical scen
29、e found in the campus of Wesleyan University? （ A） Pieces of chalk are scattered everywhere on the ground. （ B） There are some meeting announcements on the billboard. （ C） All kinds of messages are written on the paths. （ D） Some people are shocked by the meeting announcements. 22 From the passage w
30、e can see that_. （ A） officials and students are debating whether they should have free speech （ B） in the past decade, people did not have any freedom of speech （ C） some students are attacked politically as targets （ D） officials and students are discussing ways of avoiding offending messages 23 M
31、r. Bennet_. （ A） has gotten used to seeing messages on the billboard （ B） thinks that it is not acceptable to have chalkings on the ground in an institution of higher learning （ C） is looking for a good policy which can guide the way of students message posting （ D） has decided to chalk some message
32、s to fight against the harassing ones 23 Its a typical Snoopy card; cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now. Though Ive received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one Ive saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me. I received it during the fir
33、st June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes, even barbeques (烧烤 ). Those had always been my husbands jobs. I was embarrassed ev
34、ery time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldnt get the lawnmower (割草机 ) started. My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills. On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to
35、 see something. (I prayed it wasnt another repair job.) The “something“ turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughters bright faces. “Go ahead! Open them!“ They urged. As I unwrapped the
36、 packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill (烧烤架 ) and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it. “But why?“ I asked. “Happy Fathers Day!“ they shouted together. “Moms dont get presents on Fathers Day.“ I protested. “You forgot to open the card. “ Jane re
37、minded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Fathers Day. “Because,“ the girls said, “youve been a father and mother to us. Why shouldnt you be remembered on Fathers Day?“ As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to
38、be a “professional“ dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the maintenance tasks of basic care and love. The girls are grown now, and they still send me Fathers Day cards
39、, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didnt require any special tools at all just a willing worker. 24 By “it spoke volumes to me“, (Para. 1) the mother in the story means the card_. （ A） conveyed significant meanings to her
40、（ B） aroused great sorrow in her （ C） brought her pleasant feelings （ D） made her feel important 25 After her husbands death, the mother found it was the hardest to_. （ A） handle the emotional shock （ B） face the terrible loneliness （ C） keep harmony of the family （ D） fulfill a male role in the hou
41、se 26 What puzzled the mother when her daughter asked her to see something one morning? （ A） It was not another repair job this time. （ B） Both of her daughters looked excited. （ C） She got gifts at that time of the year. （ D） The bundles on the floor were wrapped. 27 The girls gave their mother a b
42、arbecue set probably because_. （ A） it was what their mother wanted （ B） it was a proper Fathers Day gift （ C） barbecue was their favorite food （ D） they wanted their mother to barbecue 28 Which of the following statements is true about the first Fathers Day card? （ A） It made the mother eager to ge
43、t the latest tools. （ B） It praised the mother as a professional dad. （ C） Its fancy design impressed the mother most. （ D） It showed the girls appreciation for their mothers love. 28 Before high school teacher Kimberly Rugh got down to business at the start of a recent school week, she joked with h
44、er students about how shed had to clean cake out of the corners of her house after her 2-year-old sons birthday party. This friendly combination of chitchat took place not in front of a blackboard but in an E-mail message that Rugh sent to the 135 students shes teaching at the Florida Virtual School
45、, one of the nations leading online high schools. The schools motto is “any time, any place, any path, any pace“. Floridas E-school attracts many students who need flexible scheduling, from young tennis stars and young musicians to brothers Tobias and Tyler Heeb, who take turns working on the comput
46、er while helping out with their familys clam-farming business on Pine Island, off Floridas southwest coast. Home-schoolers also are well represented. Most students live in Florida, but 55 hail from West Virginia, where a severe teacher shortage makes it hard for many students to take advanced classe
47、s. Seven kids from Texas and four from Shanghai round out the student body. The great majority of Florida Virtual Schoolers 80 percent are enrolled in regular Florida public or private high schools. Some are busy overachievers. Others are retaking classes they barely passed the first time. The schoo
48、ls biggest challenge is making sure that students arent left to sink or swim on their own. After the school experienced a disappointing course completion rate of just 40 percent in its early years, Executive Director Julie Young made a priority out of what she calls “relationship-building“, asking t
49、eachers to stay in frequent E-mail and phone contact with their students. That personal touch has helped: The completion rate is now 80 percent. Critics of online classes say that while they may have a limited place, they are a poor substitute for the face-to-face contact and socialization that take place in brick-and-mortar classrooms. Despite opportunities for online chats, some virtual students say theyd prefer to have more interacti
