Recent research indicates that the mobilephone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, thefixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers itThis has several implications(含义). The most common one, however, and perhaps thething that has changed our culture forever, is the "meeting" influence. People nolonger need tomake firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need tobe arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place ofwork to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run It is nolonger "see you there at 8", but "text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are". Texting changes people as well. In their paper,"IRsights into the Social and PsychologicalEffects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types ofmobile phone users; the "talkers" and the "texters"-those who prefer voice to text messages andthose who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability toexpress a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would besurprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present aself-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. Thereare two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone: There is the s'speakeasy": the head isheld high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the"spacemaker":these peoplefocus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude（侵入） on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makps you nervous. Butperhaps you needn't worry so much After all, it is good to talk66. When people plan to meet nowadays, they _ .A. arrange the meeting place beforehandB. pos.tpone fixing.the place till the last minuteC. seldom care about when and where to meetD. still love to work out detailed meeting plans67. According to the two British researchers; the social and psychological effects are mostly likelyto be seen on _A. talkers B the "speakeasy" C. the "spacemaker" D. texters68. We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are .A quite revealing B. well writtenC. unacceptable by othersD. shocking to others69. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A. Talkers.B. The S6speakeasy'.C. The "spacemaker".D. Texters.70. Which of the following Can be the best title for the passage?A. The SMS EffectB. Cultural implications of Mobile Phone UseC. Changes in the Use of the McbileD. Body Language and the Mobile Phone Part Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directicms: Read the folowing passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the informationfrom the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Presidential pardons have been part of American history since the country was establishedThe United States Constitution(宪法) gives Presidents the right to pardon people for crimes orpossible wrongdoing.In 1795, for example, President George Washington pardoned two leaders of what wascalled the Whiskey Rebellion They had led a campaign by grain farmers who violently opposed afederal tax on whiskey products.Perhaps the most famous pardon took place in 1974 when President Gerald Ford pardonedformer President Richard Nixon Mr. Nixon had resigned from office after Congress (国会)threatened legal action against himSome historians say President Ford may have lost the presidential election of 1976 because ofthe Nixon pardon. But they say the act helped to ease what was a tense American political situationRecently, American officials have begun investigating some of former President Clinton'slast acts in office. In his last several days in office, Mr. Clinton gave pardons to about140 people. Many people are questioning why some of the pardons were given, including the onereceived by businessman Marc Rich. Mr. Rich was charged with cheating and failing to pay morethan 48-million dollars in taxes. He was also charged with taking part in illegal oil deals withIran. The Presidential pardon means he cannot be tried on any of these charges. MarcRich fledthe country in 1983 to avoid arrest by federal officials. He has lived in Switzerland ever smce.The Federal Bureau of Investigation(联局) and the Justice Department are studyingMr. Clinton's decision to pardon Marc Rich They want to know if friends of Mr.Rich tried tobuy the pardonTwo committees are looking at the money given to the Democratic Party by Mr.Rich'sformer wife, Denise Rich who is reported to have given about one-million dollarsto Democraticcandidates and causes in recent years. She also gave four-hundred-fifty-thousanddollars for aproject to build a library to hold Mr. Clinton's presidential papers.However, the former President denies any wrongdoing. Mr. Clinton says he approved thepardon based on what he thought was rightAlthough congressional committees have begun their own investigations of several of Mr.Clinton's pardons, congress or the courts cannat control a legal pardon. Now, some members ofCongress are suggesting the need for a constitutional revision to limit a President'sright to offerparclons. Many other lawmakers and legal experts say it would be a mistake to tryto limit thepardon power of the President.71. _I .
