二、2.

1.A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law". Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expressive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and can not afford to pay these lawyers" fee?
  Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
  Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (being driven) and have no place to go. Their cases are all called " civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout society.

7.It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997 , to support the Red Cross"s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines (地雷) . Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics, " she said. "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.
  The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
  But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon ( 亂放炮的人). "
  The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms:" This is a distraction (干擾) we do not need. All I" m trying to do is help.
  Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess "s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government "s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
  To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess"s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.
  For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.

Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ______.

A．to voice her support for a total ban of landmines
B．to clarify the British government"s stand on landmines
C．to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there

13.In ancient times, the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
  In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor"s degree.
  Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
  One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

19.He was a qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said: "Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover. " Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.
  When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879 , he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
  As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov"s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
  Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
  It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov"s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov"s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity (敏感) of an artist.
  Some of Chekhov"s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell (《裝在套子里的人》) , about a school teacher"s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.
