阅读材料，回答下面的题目。Deport them or notIn a country that defines itself by ideals，not by shared blood，who should be allowed to come，work and live here?In the wake of the Sept．1 1 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．On Dec．11，2001，as part of the effort to increase homeland security，federal and local authorities in 14 states staged“Operation Safe Travel”-raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明)．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captured were anything but terrorists，most of themillegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’illegal status made them open to blackmail(讹诈)by terrorists．Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent，“We’re saying we want you to work in these places，we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are，and then when it’s convenient for us，or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security，especially after Sept．1 1，then you’re disposable．There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons，”Anderson said．If Sept．1 1 had never happened．the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone oil quietly living in America．probably indefinitely．Ana Castr0，a manager at a Ben＆Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport，had been workin9 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境)．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome，the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben&Jerry’s．According to the author，the United States claims to be a nation__________．

回答下面的题目：The First Settlement in North AmericaIt is very difficult to say just when colonization began. Thefirst hundred years after Christopher Columbus journey of discovery in 1492 didnot produce any settlement on the North America continent but rather someSpanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure,and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cahot,originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader inBristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship,the Matthew,with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island prohably off the NewEngland coast) and return home. He and his son made further voyages across thenorth Atlantic which enabled the English crown to claim a "legal"title to North AmericA．But for a long time afterwards the Europeans interestin America was mainly confined to the Spanish activities further south.The first beginning of permanent settlement in North America werenearly a hundred years after Columbus first voyage. The Englishman Sir WalterRaleigh claimed the whole of North America for England, calling it VirginiA．In1585 he sent a small group of people who landed in Roanoke Island,but theystayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition,led by Drake,in 1587. A second group who landed in 1587 had all disappearedwhen a further expedition arrived in 1590.The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1607.English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southern one based inLondon and a northern one based in Bristol. It was decided to give the name NewEngland to the northern areA．The first settlers in Virginia were little more thanwage slaves to the company. All were men and the experiment was not verysuccessful. Many dieD．Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By1619 the colony had only a thousand people.We know for sure that colonization began at the end of the15th century,
回答下面的题目:Exercise Being Good or BadCan exercise be a bad thing? Sudden death during or soon after strenuous exertion on the squash court or on the army training grounds, is not unheard of. 51 trained marathon runners are not immune to fatal heart attacks. But no one knows just 52 common these sudden deaths linked to exercise are. The registration andinvestigation of such 53 is very patchy; only a national survey could determine the true 54 of sudden deaths in sports. But the climate of medical opinion is shifting in 55 of exercise, for the person recovering from a heart attack as 56 as the average lazy individual. Training can help the victim of a heart attack bylowering the 57 of oxygen the heart needs at any given level of work 58 the patient can do more before reaching the point where chest pains indicate a heart starved of oxygen. The question is, should middle-aged people, 59 .particular, be screened for signs of heart disease before 60 vigorous exercise?Most cases of sudden death in sport are caused by lethal arrhythmias in the beating of the heart, often in people 61 undiagnosed coronary heart disease. In North America 62 over 35 is advised to have a physical check-up and even an exercise electrocardiogram. The British, on the whole, think all this testing isunnecessary. Not many people die from exercise, 63 , and ECGs ( 心电图 ) are notoriously inaccurate. However, two medical cardiologists at the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow, advocate screening by exercise ECG for people over 40, or younger people 64 at risk of developing coronary heart disease. Individuals showing a particular abnormality in their ECGs 65 , they say, a 10 to 20 times greater risk of subsequently developing signs of coronary heart disease, or of sudden death.第51题应选：
回答下面的题目：Easy LearningStudents should be jealous．Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but they’ve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.By the time babies are a year old they can recognise a lot of sounds and even simple words．Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake.To test the theory, Cheour and her colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first few days of their lives．They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds—one that sounds like “oo”, another like “ee” and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between．EEG recordings of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish the sounds.Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, while the rest were split into two sleep-study groups．One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels, while the others listened to other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds.When tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies who’d heard the tricky boundary vowel all night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognise this new sound．They could identify the sound even when its pitch was changed, while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.Cheour doesn’t know how babies accomplish this night-time learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies don’t “turn off” their cerebral cortex while they sleep．The skill probably fades in the course of the first year of life, she adds—so forget the idea that you can pick up tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow．But while it may not help grown-ups, Cheour is hoping to use the sleeping hours to give remedial help to babies who are genetically at risk of language disorders.Babies can learn language even in their sleep.
