A photo of the late actor Robin Williams hangs with flowers left by people paying their respects, in Boulder, Colorado,
on Monday at the home where his hit TV series Mork &Mindy was set.
Robin Williams, a brilliant shape-shifter who could channel his energy into delightful comic characters like Mrs
Doubtfire or use it in delicate work like his Oscar-winning turn in Goodwill Hunting, died on Monday in an apparent
suicide at the age of 63.
The office said the Initial investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to a sphyxio(*g). The Marin
County Coroner's Office said Williams was last seen alive at home at about 10 p.m. on Sunday. An emergency call from his
house in Tiburon was placed to the Sheriff's Office shortly before noon on Monday.

human beings. I am heartbroken, said Williams' wife, Susan Schneider.
"On behalf of Robins family, we are asking for privacy during our time of deep sorrow. As he is remembered, it is our
hope that the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of Joy and laughter he gave to millions.”
Like so many funnymen, Wiliams had dramatic ambitions. He played for tears in Awakenings, Dead Poets Society and
What Dreams May Come, which led New York Times critic Stephen Holden to write that he dreaded seeing the actor’s
"Humpty Dumpty smile and wrinkled moist eyes.” But other critics approved, and Willams won three Golden Globes, for
Good Moring, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire and The Fisher king.
“Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that supported him. He was a friend
and I can’t believe he’s gone,” Spielberg said.

"In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world." This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the
fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection:
whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than
anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images
untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses
also perform functions that humans need — the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven,
these "ecosystem services" far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do
provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or
indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully
want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is
still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without
reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being
untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One
challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly.
And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position
wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
63. John Sauven holds that ________ .
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
64. What is the main idea of Para.3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
65. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving C. Doubtful D. Optimistic

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box Each sentence can be
used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A child at five is friendly, competent and obedient, although he may be naughty with other children and is sometimes
sufficiently independent to call his mother names. He is still dependent on adult approval and praise, and so orientated to the
grown-up that he tells tales without seeing the other child’s point of view. ________67_________ Group play is often
disturbed because everyone wants to be the mother of the bride or the captain of the fire brigade. Each child has an urgent
need for constant contact with an adult in spite of all his efforts to be independent. In his unsureness he may make
statements about his own cleverness and beauty, hoping hat the adult will praise him.
________68_________ He can skip on alternate feet and can stand still on one foot for eight or ten seconds, and he can
even hop on one foot for two or three yards. When he hears music whose rhythm appeals to him, he may dance in time to
the tune. He can grip. strongly with either hand and may ride a tricycle so excitedly that he terrifies onlookers-needlessly,
for he is now such an expert that the procedure is far safer than it looks.
He can count the fingers of one hand with the index finger of the other, and may count ten or more separate objects
correctly.________69_________ And he frequently asks the meaning of words which he hears for the first time. He can
name coins and usually knows about four colors whose names he can employ in describing pictures.
He may need help and supervision in washing and drying himself although capable of doing both.
________70_________ However, sometimes he may put it on back-to-front or inside-out occasionally. Many
five-year-olds are still unable to tie their shoelaces and have difficulty with their ties or with inaccessible buttons. Children
of this age will often play very well together in pairs with real co-operation while previously they tended to play rather
independently although in close proximity. The games which they play on the floor are often complicated and

As we all know that the biggest safety threat which faces airlines today may not be a terrorist attack with a gun, but the
man with the portable computer in business class during the flight. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100
incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic (电磁)interference. The source of this interference remains
unconfirmed, but increasingly, some experts are pointing the blame at portable device such as portable computers, radio and
cassette players as well as mobile phones.
RICA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空)industry, has recommended that all airlines should ban such
devices from being used during"critical "stages of flights, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone even
further, calling for a total ban during all fights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And
although many of the airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment especially during take-off and landing, most
are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Some experts know that
portable devices send radiation which affects those wavelengths that aircraft use for navigation and communication. But
because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a lab, they really have no idea whether the interference might
be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable(易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems
in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions clearly to
turn off his radio because the music is too loud. So it still takes time to impose a ban on the use of portable devices during
flights. (total words 311)
