3、gled web of the Internet.【F1】Cerf believed that it would soon be possible to send real-time science data on the Internet from a space mission orbiting another planet such as Mars. “There is now an effort under way to design and build an interplanetary Internet. The space research community is coming
4、 closer and closer and merging. We think that we will see interplanetary Internet networks that look very much like the ones we use today.【F2】We will need interplanetary gateways and there will be protocols to transmit data between these gateways.“Cerf said.Francois Fluckiger, a scientist attending
5、the conference from the European Particle Physics Laboratory near Geneva, was not entirely convinced, saying: “We need dreams like this. But I dont know any Martian whom Id like to communicate with through the Internet.“Cerf has been working with NASAs Pasadena Jet Propulsion Laboratorythe people be
6、hind the recent Mars expeditionto design what he calls an “interplanetary Internet protocol“.【F3】He believes that astronauts will want to use the Internet, although special problems remain with interference and delay. “This is quite real. The effort is becoming extraordinarily concrete over the next
7、 few months because the next Mars mission is in planning stages now,“ Cerf told the conference, “If we use domain names like Earth or Mars . jet propulsion laboratory people would be coming together with people from the Internet community.“ He added, “【F4】The idea is to take the interplanetary Inter

I dont know where were going to
9、have to put it but my guess is that well be going out there some time,“ Cerf said, “【F5】If you think 100 years from now, it is entirely possible that what will be purely research 50 years from now will become commercial 100 years from now. The Internet was the sameit started as pure research but now
10、 it is commercialized.“1 【F1】2 【F2】3 【F3】4 【F4】5 【F5】5 【F1】For more than two decades, U.S. courts have been limiting affirmative-action programs in universities and other areas. The legal rationale is that racial preferences are unconstitutional, even those intended to compensate for racism or intol
11、erance. For many colleges, this means students can be admitted only on merit, not on their race or ethnicity. It has been a divisive issue across the U.S., as educators blame the prolonged reaction to affirmative-action for declines in minority admissions. Meanwhile, activists continue to battle rac
12、e preferences in courts from Michigan to North Carolina.【F2】Now, chief executives of about two dozen companies have decided to plunge headfirst into this politically unsettled debate. They, together with 36 universities and 7 nonprofitable organizations, formed a forum that set forth an action plan
13、essentially designed to help colleges circumvent court-imposed restrictions on affirmative action. The CEOs motive: “Our audience is growing more diverse, so the communities we serve benefit if our employees are racially and ethnically diverse as well“, says one CEO of a company that owns nine telev
14、ision stations.Among the steps the forum is pushing: finding creative yet legal ways to boost minority enrollment through new admissions policies; promoting admissions decisions that look at more than test scores; and encouraging universities to step up their minority outreach and financial aid.【F3
15、】And to counter accusations by critics to challenge these tactics in court, the group says it will give legal assistance to colleges sued for trying them.“Diversity diminished by the court must be made up for in other legitimate, legal ways,“ says a forum member.One of the more controversial methods
16、 advocated is the so-called 10% rule.【F4 】The idea is for public universitieswhich educate three-quarters of all U.S. undergraduatesto admit students who are in the top 10% of their high school graduating class.【F5】Doing so allows colleges to take minorities who excel in average urban schools, even
17、if they wouldn t have made the cut under the current statewide ranking many universities use.6 【F1】7 【F2】8 【F3】9 【F4】10 【F5】10 【F1】One meaning of the Greek word “dran“ is to accomplish, and in this meaning lies a further key to the structure of drama. A play concerns a human agent attempting to acco
18、mplish some purpose. In tragedy his attempt is, in personal terms at least, unsuccessful; in comedy it is successful; in the problem play final accomplishment is often either ambiguous or doubtful.【F2】This action, from the beginning to the end of a movement toward a purposed goal, must also have a m
19、iddle; it must proceed through a number of steps, the succession of incidents which make up the plot. Because the dramatist is concerned with the meaning and logic of events rather than with their casual relationship in time, he will probably select his material and order it on a basis of the operat
20、ion, in human affairs, of laws of cause and effect. It is in this causal relationship of incidents that the element of conflict, present in virtually all plays, appears.The central figure of the playthe protagonistencounters difficulties; his purpose or purposes conflict with events or circumstances
21、, with purposes of other characters in the play, or with cross-purposes which exist within his own thoughts and desires. These difficulties threaten the protagonists accomplishment.【F3】In other words, they present complications, and his success or failure in dealing with these complications determin
22、es the outcome.【F4 】Normally, complications build through the play in order of increasing difficulty: one complication may be added to another, or one may grow out of the solution of a preceding one. At some point in this chain of complication and solution, achieved or attempted, the protagonist per
23、forms an act or makes a decision which irrevocably commits him to a further course, points toward certain general consequences.【F5】This point is usually called the crisis; the complications and solutions which follow work out the logical steps from crisis to final resolution, or denouement.11 【F1】12

Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars.【F1】Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical educationnot to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms o
25、f pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools arent difficult to find. “Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,“ says education writer Diane Ravitch. “Schools could be a counterbalance.“ Ravitchs latest book, Left Back: A Century of Failed School
26、Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits. But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control.【F2
27、】Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy.“Continuing along this path,“ says writer Earl Shorris, “We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society.“Intellect is resented a
28、s a form of power or privilege,“ writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer-Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic
29、and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism.【F3 】Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book. Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and
30、 rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children, “【 F4】We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.“ Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoid

Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind.【F5】 Intelligence seeks to g
32、rasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country s educational system is in the grips of people who “joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostilit
