听力原文： The Civil War came about as a result of many differences between the North and the South. The differences had their beginnings in the early 1800s. Tensions continued to grow for several decades. When the war began in 1861, most American believed the conflict would not last long. Instead, it stretched into four years of bloody fight. In the end, more Americans died in the Civil War than in any war the nation had fought.
The disagreements between the North and the South centered on the following five issues: slavery, tariffs, taxes, political power in the House of Representative, and political power in the Senate. People in the North had strong feelings about each of these issues. So did the people in the South. Each side had reasons for the way it felt.
Many people in the North did not believe in slavery. They thought the people of the South should not own slaves. Although some southerners opposed slavery, most felt they needed slaves to raise cotton and tobacco, which were the pillar economy. On the other hand, the North' s economy was based on manufacturing industry not plantation agriculture. The northern ers opposed slavery in the South since they had not enough people to work in their factories and wanted to get human resources. In the end the North won the war and the Union was saved.
(30)
A．In the early 1800s.
B．Several decades after its break.
C．In 1861.
D．In 1865.

I Just Know How You Feel
Do you feel sad？ Happy？ Frustrated？ Insouciant？ Exonerated？ Infuriated？ Do you think that the way you display these emotions is unique？ Well， think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be divided into groups， classified， and perhaps， taught. This week sees the publication of Mind Reading， an interactive DVD-rom displaying every possible human emotion. It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictionary of the human heart.
The attempt to classify the human heart began with Darwin. His The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals， published in 1872， divided the emotions into six types——anger， fear，sadness， disgust， surprise and enjoyment.46______
Every other feeling， of which there may be thousands， was thought to derive from this six-strong group. More complex expressions of emotion were likely to be learned and therefore more specific to each culture. An incredulous or indignant Pacific islander might not be able to show an Essex girl exactly how she felt.
But now it is believed that， whereas gestures do not cross cultural boundaries well， many more facial expressions than Darwin"s half-dozen are shared worldwide. 47______ The Mind Reading is a systematic record of each of these expressions being acted out.
The project was conceived by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen of the autism research centre in Cambridge as an aid for people with autism， who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotion. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Novelists， actors and portrait painters all need to draw upon a wide range of emotional expression， and teachers could use it for classes in personal and social development.
Baron-Cohen"s team first had to decide what counted as an emotion. 48______ Using this definition， 1，512 emotion terms were identified and put to a panel who had to decide if each repre sented a separate emotion， or if they were synonyms. That list was whittled down to 412， arranged in 24 groups from "afraid" to "wanting".
Once the emotions were classified， a DVD seemed the most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading， each expressions is acted out——six times， by six different actors——in three seconds.
49______ The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words， but we instantly recognize one when we see it on someone"s face. "It was really clear when the actors had got it right，" says Cathy Collis， who directed the DVD.
But though we find it difficult to describe many emotions， we instantly recognize one when we see one. "Even when the actors were struggling to get an emotion， there was a split second when it was absolutely there. It was really clear when they"d got it， "Cathy Collis， who directed the DVD. "Although the actors were given some direction， they were not told which facial muscle they should move." She added. 50______ For example， when someone feels contempt， you can"t say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.
Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American Professor Paul Ekman， who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called "action units". These can be combined into more than 10，000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a paper of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.

A.We thought of trying to describe each emotion but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.
B.These particular muscles are difficult to control， and few people can do it.
C.Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read the emotionalexpressions.
D.They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by "I feel"or "he looks"or"she sounds".
E.He said that the expression of these feelings are universal and recognizable by anyone， from any culture.
F.Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions， such as words， would have been far less effective.
Frederick Winslow Taylor is generally acknowledged as being the father of the scientific management approach, as a result of the publication of his book, The Principles of Scientific Management, published in 1911. However, numerous other academics and practitioners(实践者)had been actively applying such approaches since the beginning of the century. Charles Babbage, and English academic, well-known for his invention of the mechanical computer(with the aid of a government grant as long as 1820), applied himself to the costing of processes, using scientific methods, and indeed might well be recognized as one of the fathers of cost accounting.
Taylor was of well-to-do background and received an excellent education but, partly owing to troubles with his eyesight, decided to become an engineering apprentice. He spent some twenty-five years in the tough, sometimes brutal, environment of the US steel industry and carefully studied methods of work when he eventually attained supervisory status. He made various significant innovations in the area of steel processing, but his claim to fame is through his application of methods of science to methods of work, and his personal efforts that proved they could succeed in a hostile environment.
In 1901, Taylor left the steel industry and spent the rest of his life trying to promote the principles of managing scientifically and emphasizing the human aspects of the method, over the slave-driving methods common in his day. He died in 1915, leaving a huge school of followers to promote his approach worldwide.
According to the passage, what was badly needed to improve industrial efficiency？
A．Great breakthroughs.
B．Unlimited purchasing power.
C．Science and competition.
D．International competition.
Experts cannot tell when earthquakes will occur. But they can tell us why they happen. In the center of the earth a huge, hot mass moves constantly, like rushing water. Vast areas of solid rock, called plates(板岩), rest on top of this mass. Sometimes two plates move and strain against each other. When they finally break, the earth's surface moves, and an earthquake begins. Some quakes have other causes.
Most of the world's earthquakes happen around or in the Pacific Ocean. Called the "ring of fire" by scientists, this area suffers from about twenty powerful earthquakes each year. But there are others even too small to be felt. They occur a million times a year. However, they take place under the ocean or away from people. Therefore, there is no damage.
Scientists measure the strength of earthquakes with sensitive machines called seismographs(地震仪). These instruments can record shock waves from earthquakes in any part of the world. Seismographs show us that some earthquakes can give off as much energy as 200 million tons of TNT. That is 10,000 times stronger than an atomic bomb!
Powerful earthquakes can sometimes take an enormous number of human lives. The worst earthquake on record took place in China in 1556. At that time 830,000 people died. In 1737, 300,000 were killed during an earthquake in India. In modern times, China was hit again with the world's second worst quake in 1976. It left 650,000 dead.
Many cities are taking steps to prevent loss of life in earthquakes. Buildings are being made quakeproof. Rescue teams practice saving victims. Partly because of such steps, the 1989 San Francisco quake took only sixty lives.
We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．a great mass of solid rock suddenly moves deep inside the earth
B．earthquake usually does great damage to human beings
C．earthquake cannot be measured
D．earthquake takes place with a loud roar
Computer Needs Emotion
The next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence could come from giving machines not just more logical capacity, but emotional capacity as well.
Feeling aren't usually associated with inanimate(无生命的) machines, but Posalind Picard, a professor of computer technology at MIT, believes emotion may be just the thing computes need to work effectively. Computers need artificial emotion both to understand their human users better and to achieve self-analysis and self-improvement, says Picard.
"If we want computers to be genuinely intelligent, to adapt to us, and to interact naturally with us, then they will need the ability to recognize and express emotions, to have emotions, and to have what has come to be called emotional intelligence. " Picard says.
One way that emotions can help computers, she suggests, is by helping keep them from crashing. Today's computers produce error messages, but they do not have a "gut feeling" of knowing when something is wrong or doesn't make sense. A healthy fear of death could motivate a computer to stop trouble as soon as it starts. On the other hand, self-preservation would need to be subordinate to service to humans. It was fear of its own death that promoted RAL, the fictional computer in the film 2002:A Space Odyssey, to extermine (消灭) most of its human associates.
Similarly, computers that could "read" their users would accumulate a store of highly personal information about us-not just what we said and did, but what we likely thought and felt.
"Emotion not only contributes to a richer quality of interaction, but they directly impact a person's ability to interact in an intelligent way, " Picard says, "Emotional skills, especially the ability to recognize and express emotions, are essential for natural communication with humans. "
According to Picard, emotion intelligence is necessary to computers because ______.
A．it can make computers analyze the information more efficiently
B．it can help to eliminate the computers' innate problems
C．it can improve the mechanic capacity of computers
D．it can make computers achieve a better understanding of human users

The next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence could come from giving machines not just
more logical capacity, but emotional capacity as well.
Feelings aren't usually associated with inanimate machines, but Rosalind Picard, a professor of
computer technology at MIT, believes emotion may be just the thing computers need to work effec-tively. Computers need artificial emotion to understand thei human users better and to achieve self-analysis and self-improvement.
The more scientists study the “wetware" model for computing-the human brain and nervous
system-the more they conclude that emotions are a part of intelligence, not separate from it. Emo-tions are among the tools that we use to process the tremendous amount of stimuli in our environ-ment. They also paly a role in human learning and decision-making. Feeling bad about a wrong deci-sion, for instance, focuses attention on avoiding future error. A feeling of pleasure, on the other hand, positively reinforces an experience.
"If we want computers to -be genuinely intelligent, to adapt to us, and to interact naturally with
us, then they will need the ability to recognize and express emotions, to have emotions, and to have what has come to be called 'emotional intelligence' ," Picard says.
One way that emotions can help computers, she suggests, is by helping keep them from crashing. Today's computers produce erroneous messages, but they do not have a "gut feeling" of knowing when something is wrong or doesn't make sense. A healthy fear of death could motivate a com-
puter to stop trouble as soon as it starts. On the other hand, self-preservation would need to be subordinate to service to humans. It was fear of its own death that prompted HAL, the fictional computer in the film 2002: A Space Odyssey, to kill most of its human associates.

"Emotions not only contribute to a richer quality of interaction, but they directly impact a per-
son's ability to interact in an intelligent way," Picard says. "Emotional skills, especially the ability
to recognize and express emotions, are essential for natural communication with humans. "

In the early 1950s,historians who studied pre-industrial Europe (which we may define here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800) began, for the first time in large numbers, to investigate more of the pre-industrial European population than the 2 or3 per cent who comprised the political and social elite' the kings, generals, judges, nobles, bishops, and local magnates who had hitherto usually filled history books. One difficulty, however, was that few of the remaining 97 percent recorded their thoughts or had them chronicled by contemporaries. Faced with this situation, many historians based their investigations on the only records that seemed to exist: birth, marriage, and death records. As a result, much of the early work on the non-elite was aridly statistical in nature; reducing the vast majority of the population to a set of numbers was hardly more enlightening than ignoring them altogether. Historians still did not know what these people thought or felt.
One way out of this dilemma was to turn to the records of legal courts, for here the voices of the non-elite can most often be heard, as witnesses, plaintiffs, and defendants. These documents have acted as" a point of entry into the mental world of the poor. "Historians such as Le Roy Ladurie have used the documents to extract case histories, which have illustrated the attitudes of different social groups (these attitudes include, but are not confined to, attitudes toward crime and the law) and have revealed how the authorities administered justice. It has been societies that have had a developed police system and practiced Roman law, with its written depositions, whose court records have yielded the most data to historians. In Anglo-Saxon countries hardly any of these benefits obtain, but it has still been possible to glean information from the study of legal documents.
The extraction of case histories is not, however, the only use to which court records may be put. Historians who study pre-industrial Europe have used the records to establish a series of categories of crime and to quantify indictments that were issued over a given number of years. This use of the re cords does yield some information about the non-elite, but this information gives us little insight into the mental lives of the non-elite. We also know that the number of indictments in pre-industrial Europe bears little relation to the number of actual criminal acts, and we strongly suspect that the relationship has varied widely over time. In addition, aggregate population estimates are very shaky, which makes it difficult for historians to compare rates of crime per thousand in one decade of the pre-industrial period with rates in another decade. Given these inadequacies, it is clear why the case history Use of court records is to be preferred.
How is in the investigations carried out by historians in 1950s different from previous studies？
A．They had new findings.
B．They expanded the period defined as pre-industrial Europe.
C．They investigated the common people who took up the majority of the population.
D．The investigations were on the kings, generals ,judges, nobles, bishops, and local magnates.
A.as possibly as I can
B.as hard as I can
C.as possible as I can
D.hard as I can
