案例分析题

Opponents of affirmative action say the battle over the use of race in college admissions is hardly over，despite the Supreme Court’s ruling Monday upholding the goal of a diverse student body.Higher education leaders overwhelmingly hailed the decision，saying it reaffirmed policies used by most selective colleges and universities.But some critics raised the possibility of more lawsuits，and promised to continue pressuring the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to investigate questionable policies.’We’re talking about admissions programs，scholarships，any program…only for minorities or in which the standards used to judge admissions are substantially different，’says Linda Chavez，founder and president of the Center for Equal Opportunity，a conservative non-profit group.
Others say they’ll take their case to voters.’We have to seriously contest all this at the ballot box，’says University of California regent Ward Cannerly，who helped win voter approval of California’s Proposition 209，which prohibits considering race or gender in public education，hiring and contracting.Because of that law，Monday’s ruling had no practical impact in the state.’It may be time for us to…let the （Michigan）voters decide if they want to use race as a factor in admissions，’Connerly said Monday.
Meanwhile，U.S.Education Secretary Rod Paige，consistent with President Bush’s stance opposing affirmative action，said the Department of Education will ’continue examining and highlighting effective race-neutral approaches to ensure broad access to and diversity within our public institutions’.Even Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor，in one of the opinions，recommended that states look for lessons in race-neutral programs being tried in California and elsewhere.While the ruling said admissions officials may consider race in the selection process，colleges and universities are not obligated to do so.’Ultimately in the debate，diversity is a choice，not a legal mandate，’says Arthur Coleman，a former Department of Education official who now helps colleges and universities ensure constitutional policies.
The public，too，remains conflicted，largely along racial lines.According to a January poll by the non-profit research organization Public Agenda，79%of Americans said it is important for colleges to have a racially diverse student body，while just 54%said affirmative action programs should continue.In a Gallup.poll conducted days before the ruling，49%of adults said they favor affirmative action and 43%did not，with blacks and Hispanics far more likely to favor the practice than white.And some educators doubt that with Monday’s ruling，those opposing affirmative action will change their minds.
For now，admissions officials and university lawyers are poring over the ruling to determine how or whether to adjust policies.While most tend to be closed-mouthed about admissions policies，many say they don’t expect significant changes.

What the critics said in the first paragraph amounts to the idea that)（）.

A．no admission policies based on race should be implemented.
B．minority applicants should be given favorable considerations.
C．different standards for admitting minority students should be set up.
D．selective colleges and universities should be punished for their discriminatory policies.

单项选择题 听力原文： I'd like to talk to you about a television program that's going to be shown tonight, and that I want you all to watch. It will present work that's currently being done by geologists off the coast of Hawaii. The only active underwater volcano in the U. S. is located there.It's growing and may reach the surface of the ocean in about 50, 000 years—not very long from now in geological time. Anyway, geologists are setting up an unmanned observatory at the top of this volcano, which is located about 70 miles southeast of Hawaii and about 3, 000 feet below the surface of the ocean. They plan to install seismometers, thermal sensors, chemical detectors, video cameras, and other equipment to monitor the volcano's activities. Then they'll hook up an electric cable between the observatory and the mainland so they can receive information electronically from these instruments. Geologists are pretty excited about this project, and I hope you are too. It ties in very nicely with the work we've been doing in class on volcanoes. Watch the program about it tonight, and be prepared to discuss it tomorrow.Who is the speaker?A．A television announcer.B．A member of a research team.C．A teacher.D．A network executive.
