　　One of the most spectacular terrorist episodes in U.S. history was the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993 by Islamic radicals. This incident aroused anxiety about the threat posed by foreign residents from nations hostile to the United States. Six people died in the blast, which caused an estimated $600 million in property and other economic damage. Trials that followed convicted six people of carrying out the attack.

　　In addition to foreign-sponsored terrorism, the United States has an ample history of domestic terrorism. Early in the 20th century, labor leaders such as William Dudley openly espoused a philosophy of revolutionary violence.

　　In the late 1960s and early 1970s, during the latter stages of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, some terrorist groups bombed buildings on university campuses throughout the country and at corporation headquarters and government buildings in New York City.

　　Between 1978 and 1995, an anarchist and terrorist known as the Unabomber planted or mailed homemade bombs that killed 3 people and wounded 23 others in 16 separate incidents throughout the United States. The Unabomber, who claimed an allegiance with radical environmentalists and others opposed to the effects of industrialization and technology, targeted university professors, corporate executives, and computer merchants.

　　In April 1996 federal agents arrested Theodore Kaczynski, a suspect they thought to be the Unabomber. Kaczynski, a Harvard-educated former math professor who became a recluse, pled guilty to 13 federal charges in 1998 in exchange for agreement that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty during sentencing. The court sentenced Kaczynski to four life terms plus 30 years and ordered him to pay $15 million in restitution.

　　In April 1995 a truck bomb exploded in front of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, killing 168 people and injuring more than 500, making it one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in United States history. Federal agents arrested two men McVeigh and Nichols, who belonged to an extremist group advocating resistance to national laws and political institutions.

　　In June 1997 McVeigh was found guilty of murder in connection with the bombing and sentenced to death. Later in the year Nichols was convicted of the less severe charges of manslaughter and conspiracy, and he was sentenced to life in prison in June 1998. McVeigh was executed in 2001.

　　1.选D。本题为主要细节正误题。从第二段第一句“In addition to foreign-sponsored terrorism, the United States has an ample history of domestic terrorism”中可推断，第一段所讲的那次恐怖事件正是“foreign-sponsored”所以正确答案是D。

　　4.选C。本题为主要细节正误题。从第五段“Kaczynski, a Harvard-educated former math professor who became a recluse, pled guilty to 13 federal charges in 1998 in exchange for agreement that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty during sentencing”中可知，他承认了13项联邦政府对他的指控，是为了换的起诉人对他免于死刑的判决。

　　" Your eyes are two pools that twinkle like stars in the sky." These sweet nothings are traditionally best sent in feather-inked script1 on fine, perfumed parchment. Nowadays, though, more and more lovers are using e-mail or cell phone short message services (SMS) to say a few nice words to each other. The result： a new culture of love-letter writing has evolved and is rewriting the rules in how we express our love.

　　Make no mistake： in many cases the love e-mail messages significantly resemble their aromatic predecessors. The verbal imagery has hardly changed. SMS messages, however, have necessitated9 the development of a new, shorter form of love talk. Experts believe, in fact, that far more people now carry out sweet talk in cyberspace than in the time before e-mail and short messaging came along.

　　When people communicate over e-mail or short messages, everything is much more relaxed, less serious, and this helps the sweet words flow. Nicola Doering, a media researcher at the Technical University of Ilmenau in Thueringen, Germany, emphasizes that for many people contact over e-mail or SMS is simpler： " The language is a different one here than in traditional letters; people tend to write more like they speak." This means that a message writer might not have to agonize over every word, as is often expected with traditional love letters. This is obviously encouraging for many people. For longer, particularly romantic love letters, e-mail writers also reach back into the language of poetry, " Your calf-blue eyes" is typical for the kind of phrasings found in e-mail love letters. At least one traditional symbol between lovers has made a striking comeback. Even in the love letters of the 19th century, one often found the letter X as a symbol of a kiss. Many paper love letters would have three Xs at the bottom as a closing. And this symbol is often used today between lovers in their e-mail messages.

　　In spite of all the technological advancement that e- mail represents, classic love letters on paper still have a special meaning, the experts say. Ink on paper simply affects many people more strongly than lines on a computer screen. It appears more serious, more binding, as if written for all eternity. Sometimes people want to have something to touch, a letter that you can really hold in your hand.

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage above.

　　1.From this passage we learn that the love e-mail messages_____.

　　A.haven't changed the convention in how people express love

　　B.are still like traditional letters in many cases

　　C.are often sent on fine,perfumed parchment

　　D.represent a traditional culture of love-letter writing

　　2.Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a characteristic of the new culture of love-letter writing?

　　A.It is more relaxed and less serious.

　　B.It makes contact simpler for many people.

　　C.It makes love letters more like poetry.

　　D.It helps people to say more sweet words.

　　3.Three Xs used in lovers'e-mail message symbolize_____.

　　A.a striking comeback B.the language of poetry

　　C.closing of the letters D.three kisses

　　4.It is implied that experts think classic love letters_____.

　　A.exclude the technological advancement

　　B.resemble lines on a computer screen

　　C.can not be touched by modern people

　　D.have stronger power to move the feelings

　　5.The author's tone in this passage is_____

　　A.mocking B.complimentary

　　C.objective D.approving


 

　　1.选B。本题为主要细节正误题。第二段说“Make no mistake： in many cases the love e-mail messages significantly resemble their aromatic predecessors. ”，可见，在很多情况下，爱情E-mail短信息与传统信件惊人的相似。

　　2.选C。本题为主要细节正误题。题干要求找出不是新的情书书写文化特征的选项。A、B、D选项均可在第三段中找到，C选项“它使得情书更像诗词”，这与原文意思不符。

　　3.选D。本题为主要细节正误题。第三段说“甚至在19世纪的情书中，就可以发现人们经常以字母X作为接吻的符号，许多纸情书一般以3个X作为结束语”，前文又说这个符号是“惊人的复古变现”，可见，这个符号仍代表“three kisses”。

　　4.选D。本题为观点态度推断题。从最后一段的“Ink on paper simply affects many people more strongly than lines on a computer screen. ”可推测，专家们认为经典的纸情书更能感动许多人。

　　5.选C。本题为观点态度推断题。作者在本文中论述了传统的纸情书和E-mail或手机短信情书各自的优缺点，可见，作者的语气是“objective(客观地)”。
