摘要:(B) A small, damaged, but valuable Greek marble head has been stolen from the British Museum, apparently during opening hours. The stand of the head was discovered 65 on Tuesday, and it is believed that the 2,500-year-old statue was stolen that day. A metal device 66 the base of the marble to the stand, and it would have taken considerable strength to separate them. 67 small enough to fit into a bag or a large pocket, the head weighed five to six pounds. Only 68 of the museum's hundreds of galleries are covered by monitors. The Greek Ancient Gallery, where the theft took place, had no permanent guard on duty; 69 , it was visited regularly by a member of staff checking around several galleries at a time. Last year, in a nearby gallery, a marble hand was broken off a Greek statue in 70 was believed to have been chance destruction rather than a(n) 71 art theft-although the hand has still not been recovered.

Despite the damage, it is 73 several thousand pounds.

Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren’t restricted to just written words and still pictures.Even if you’re new to the Net,you’ve probably heard about multimedia on-line—listening to audio,watching animations and videos,even playing in three-dimensional space.Sound and movement make information come alive.

To experience it,you’ll need special pieces of software called plug-ins.The term “plug-in” refers to a small,add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser,like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer,turning your computer into a radio or TV.

When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don’t have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer.Most of the time,the installation will be automatic.

Occasionally,you’ll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation.Once installed,plug-ins run automatically,without you having to do anything.

Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.

Shockwave is a good example of this.All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control.The rest happens automatically.The next time you go to a “Shocked” website,the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.

Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet,although not all will work with every system.Some of them,for instance,only work with Windows 95.

Plug-ins can help us to do all of the following except _________.

A.listening to music

B.watching animations and videos

C.playing three-dimensioned games

D.searching for information on the net

The correct explanation about “plug-in” is _________.

A.a radio or TV connected with a computer

B.a small,add-on piece of hardware which improves your web browser

C.a small,add-on piece of software which can turn your computer into a radio or TV

D.a small,add-on piece of software like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer

When we go to a “shocked” website a second time,_________.

A.we should go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the Active X control

B.the shockwave control loads itself and plays the movie for us

C.we will be asked whether to download the shockwave control or not

D.we have to buy the shockwave control and load it

Most of the time,how can we get a plug-in before automatic installation?

A.We have to buy it from the developer.

B.We have to borrow it from the developer.

C.We have to rent it from the developer.

D.We can obtain from the developer without paying.

Most mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers don’t come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-colored liquid. “Whoever drinks it will die.” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neibourhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but no­body is desperate enough to drink it.

  There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but ex­perts usually put the minimum at fifty li­tres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litres—less than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that day—two or three buckets’ worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn’t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; it’s cheaper. Like the poorest people every­where, the people of New Delhi’s slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.

A. how India government manages to solve the problem of water gets their water
