brought a lot of benefits to human beings changes that put man in danger Many things caused the changes but in my opinion the most important was the progress in science 2 Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life 3 The continuation of such activities in the twenty first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings in pure science a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning in applied science a more reasonable sharing of material benefits and better protection of the environment 4 Sadly however there is another side to the picture The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used the result could have been the ruin of the human race as well as of many kinds of animals 5 William Shakespeare said The web of our life is of a mingled yarn good and ill together The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities science seems to prove what Shakespeare said But does it have to be so Must the ill always go together with the good Are we biologically 2 programmed for war 49 Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage A 1 B 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 C 1 D 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 5 5 50 From the fourth paragraph we can

separate the good from the ill 参考答案 49 52 ADBD 结束 Not even three years ago the Treo 650 smart phone looked revolutionary But its latest successor the Treo 755p Palm was made public two weeks ago feels more like a relic The Treo s basic concept uniting a cellphone hand held organizer miniaturized keyboard touch sensitive screen Web and e mail access and media playback in one device makes sense But while competitors have advanced Palm has been napping on the train tracks The new Treo 755p gets online faster than last year s model Its basic design features few changes from the 2004 version its dimensions almost match those of the 2003 edition And its operating system and software for desktop synchronization received their last major updates in 2002 Over that same period of time almost every other hand held device Windows Mobile smart phones Black Berrys iPods and even plain old cellphones has seen major upgrades in capability and notable shrinkage in size The Treo 755p available form Sprint for 280 after a 100 mail in rebate and with a two year contract only cements Palm s status as the sick man of the smart phone business After wasting most of this decade on pointless reorganizations and a disastrous spinoff of its software development group this 4 company appears to have reached a state of creative bankruptcy As a basic organizer the 755p remains pleasant to use It s like a second brain that remembers details that might otherwise slip your mind It can pluck useful bits of data off the Internet as needed It can also run thousands of useful programs many free which enhance its utility and entertainment value But you could say the same basically of its immensely popular predecessors This new model s main selling point a cellular Internet connection that
