1、Strike in MTV NetworksScores of workers from MTV Networks walked off the job yesterday afternoon, filling the sidewalk outside the headquarters of its corporate parent, Viacom, to protest recent changes in benefits. The walkout highlighted the concerns of a category of workers who are sometimes called permalancers： permanent freelancers who work like full-time employees but do not receive the same benefits.Waving signs that read "Shame on Viacom", the workers, most of them in their 20s, demanded that MTV Networks reverse a plan to reduce health ａｎｄ　dental benefits fｏｒfreelancers beginning Jan. 1. In a statement, MTV Networks noted that its benefits program fｏｒfull-time employees had also undergone changes, ａｎｄ　it emphasized that the plan fｏｒfreelancers was still highly competitive within the industry. Many freelancers receive no corporate benefits. But some of the protesters asserted that corporations were competing to see which could provide the most mediocre health care coverage. Matthew Yonda, who works at Nickelodeon, held a sign that labeled the network "Sick-elodeon". "I\'ve worked here every day fｏｒthree years-I\'m not a freelancer," Mr. Yonda said. "They just call us freelancers in ｏｒｃｅｒto bar us from getting the same benefits as employees."The changes to the benefits package were announced last Tuesday. Freelancers were told that they would become eligible fｏｒbenefits after 160 days of work, beginning in January. While that eased previous eligibility rules, which required freelancers to work fｏｒ52 weeks before becoming eligible, it would have required all freelancers not yet eligible fｏｒbenefits to start the waiting period over again on Jan. 1. The 401 (k) plan was also removed On Thursday, acknowledging the complaints, MTV Networks reinstated the 401 (k) plan ａｎｄ　said freelancers who had worked consistently since March would be eligible.Fueled by a series of blog posts on the media web site Gawker-the first post was headlined "The Viacom Permalance Slave System" -a loose cohort of freelancers created protest stickers ａｎｄ　distributed walkout fliers last week. Caroline O\'Hare, a unit manager who has worked fｏｒMTV fｏｒmore than two years, said the new health care plan-with higher deductibles ａｎｄ　a $ 2,000 cap on hospital expenses each year-had provoked outrage. "They think they can treat us like children that don\'t have families, mortgages ｏｒdreams of retirement," she said.Outside Viacom\'s headquarters, several workers held posters with the words, "There\'s too many of us to ignore." It was unclear how many freelancers are on the company\'s payroll; an MTV Networks spokeswoman said the figure was not known because it rises ａｎｄ　falls throughout the year. The company has 5,500 full-time employees, excluding freelancers, around the world.Two freelancers ａｎｄ　one full-time employee, who asked not to be identified fｏｒfear of retribution, estimated that the percentage of freelancers in some departments exceeded 75 percent. Another labｏｒaction is expected to take place outside Viacom later this week. Members of the Writers Guild of America, who have been on strike fｏｒfive weeks, are expected to picket there on Thursday.Which one of the following statements is NOT true of MTV Networks\' new benefits plan fｏｒfreelancers?【单选题】

A.Its benefits plan fｏｒfreelancers is highly competitive in the industry.

B.Its freelancers cannot receive the same benefits as the full-time employees.

C.The freelancers who are not eligible fｏｒbenefits should start the waiting period over again on Jan. 1.

D.The freelancers are against the new plan which substantially but their benefit.

2、Cloning: Future Perfect?1 A clone is an exact copy of a plant ｏｒanimal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997, research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully. But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world. 2 Seed\'s announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative. In Europe, nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning ａｎｄ　in the US the President announced: "We will be introducing a law to ban human cloning ａｎｄ　many states in the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year". 3 Many researchers are not so negative about cloning. They are worried that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research. In March, The New Englａｎｄ　Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science. 4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded (轰炸) with newspaper articles, television shows ａｎｄ　films, as well as cartoons. Such information is often misleading, ａｎｄ　makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next. 5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like. But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds, the anti-cloners ask Pretty cool, answer the pro-cloners (赞成克隆的人). The United States will introduce____. 【单选题】

A.the nucleus of a cell

B.cloned human beings

C.a human being in two years

D.a law to ban human cloning

E.a report on human cloning

F.heavy media coverage

正确答案:D

4、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez ａｎｄ　German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak ａｎｄ　hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was born deaf, ａｎｄ　his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language.

"The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult fｏｒthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone, so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs. "ａｎｄ　we can\'t ｏｒｃｅｒfood in a drive - thru."Despite of their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket.They got their jobs through a "workability" program, designed fｏｒteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, ａｎｄ　Orlando started in November."The other people who work here nave been very nice to us," Orlando signs. "They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we\'ve learned a lot ａｎｄ　we\'re getting better."The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said.

5、The orangutanAmong all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people ａｎｄ　apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, ａｎｄ　the similar kind of blood. There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee (黑猩猩), the orangutan (猩猩), the gorilla (大猩猩), ａｎｄ　the gibbon (长臂猿). They live in the deep forests ａｎｄ　warm tropical regions of Africa ａｎｄ　of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, ｏｒblack hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, ａｎｄ　hands. Their hands each have four fingers ａｎｄ　a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches ａｎｄ　travel very quickly from tree to tree. These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables ａｎｄ　fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, ａｎｄ　insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there fｏｒmore than a night ｏｒtwo. Then they move on to look fｏｒmore food. There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high ａｎｄ　weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall ａｎｄ　weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall ａｎｄ　weight up to 200 pounds. Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table ａｎｄ　eat, to dress themselves, ａｎｄ　to do things that human children can do. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?【单选题】

A.All apes are brown ｏｒblack.

B.All parts of apes\' bodies are covered with hair.

C.Apes have weak legs but very strong arms.

D.Apes\' arms are strong enough to swim.

正确答案:C

答案解析:由文章第3段倒数第2句和第3句可知，猿的腿短而无力，但手臂很强壮，故选C。倒数第1句说强壮的手臂使得猿能够swing而不是swim，排除D。由该段第1句和第2句可排除A、B。
