The future of the Secombe Theatre in Sutton is in doubt after a government report spreads

fears of closure. The report says the theatre does not meet modem standards for arts events and the site is capable of a larger-scale (更大规模的) development. While it promises to plan for a neighborhood center, it fails to make any mention of a new theatre, which has left many asking why.

Leading figures from the arts circle have come togther to fight for the 21-year-old theatre.

Barbara Windsor, chairman of the Performing Art Society, said: "If they have to tear it down it would be a waste of a good theatre. Every town needs a heart."

John Stevens, of Sutton Theatre Company, said the theatre had suffered from a lack of money and business support. "There's a crying need for a theatre in Sutton and the public will lose out if the Secombe goes."

Peter Geiringer, a city government official also argued that a neighborhood center was not the same as a theatre. "It's silly; this is the death of the Secombe. They're going to replace (代替) it by a hall so no one in Sutton will be able to go to a real theatre."

Leslie Coman, member of city committee for the arts, said: "The Secombe has played an out- standing role in the cultural life of this town over many years. It is only right that the committee continues to look at how it can provide new buildings for artists' workshops, and performances."

Sutton Arts Committee Chairman Tony Kerslake said: "At some stage a building comes to the end of its life. If a new one was built in the same place, I would accept that as progress."

The government report makes people wonder whether the theatre will be______.

A．replaced

B．closed

C．rebuilt

D．enlarged

Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge （保护区) （ANWR) to help se

Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America's energy future？ President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR's oil would help ease California's electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country's energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.

The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U. S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用权费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. "We've never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice," says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.

Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America's energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR's impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State's electricity output--and just 3 % of the nation's.

What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR？

A．It will increase America's energy consumption.

B．It will exhaust the nation's oil reserves.

C．It will help reduce the nation's oil imports.

D．It will help secure the future of ANWR.

听力原文： The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently have to make a judgment as to their competitors' role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major competitors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh II and Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apple's major competitors.

Apple's new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM compatible(兼容的) programs. This compatibility feature illustrates computer manufacturers' new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running IBM software is Apple's effort at making the Mackintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories(附件) to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.

The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.

Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor's computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics(图形), whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies' products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.

(33)

A．Because IBM is changing its computer models continuously.

B．Because it wants to make its machines specialize in specific uses.

C．Because it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer market.

D．Because it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example.
