The day of terror at the Virginia Polytechnic and State University in Blacksburg began at

about 7:15 a. m., with the shooting of a woman and a male resident adviser on the fourth floor of a dorm building on campus, Kristen Bensley, a freshman who lived below the floor where the shooting occurred, told TIME, "There were minors going on about the assailant was fighting with his girlfriend or something of that nature". Bensley notes that only residents can get into the building, using a specific "passport", that is, a card that one has to swipe in order to open doors before 10 a.m. If he was an outsider, someone would have had to let him in. Or more likely, he was a resident of the dorm himself. If so, how did be keep so much ammunition unnoticed?

Unlike high schools, most universities can't beef up security with a metal detector or two. So what can be done to protect students? Other questions remain unanswered. Why was there a two-hour gap between the incident at the dorm and a far more fatal one across campus? At one point, that led to theorizing that more than one gunman was involved. The gunman who killed at least 30 people at Norris Hall shortly after 9 a.m. was described by some sources as an Asian man.

It has been a surreal time for the students. Brandon Stiltner, a senior aerospace engineering student, and Jonathan Hess, a senior mechanical engineer, were watching TV all day but by noon they'd had enough. "We decided we needed to do something", Stiltner said. "We were worthless sitting around". So they took their six-foot Virginia Tech sign off the wall and logged into Facebook. Within the next few hours 100 people replied to their e-mail request for a vigil.

By 8 p.m. hundreds bf students began filing down the steps of the War Memorial Chapel toward the drill field. Clusters of two and three students stood together in silence. Slowly they began to line up to sign the board. "I'm still really in disbelief", says Stiltner. The shock of the day's shootings sank in, Hess said, as he carried the sign across campus for the vigil. "It hit me", Hess said, "to know that it was in these buildings". The media crews that swarmed campus were also surreal to Hess and Stiltner. "We could look out our window and see exactly what's on TV", Stiltner says. He watched his sign crowded with initials and prayers, awaiting the names of the victims, He shuddered. "I hope I don't have any nasty surprises".

Which of the following is tree according to the first paragraph?

A.7:15 a.m. is the time a woman and a mate resident adviser were killed on the fourth floor of a dorm building on campus.

B.The cause of shooting is the assailant was fighting with his girlfriend or something of that nature.

C.Open dorm's doors needs swipe a card before 10 a.m.

D.The gunman was a resident of the dorm himself.

听力原文: Addressing the U.N. General Assembly Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee angrily rejected a Kashmir truce offer by Pakistan. Mr. Vajpayee said the offer, made the day before at the United Nations by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, was tantamount to an admission that Pakistan supports terrorism. Mr. Vajpayee's address included both implicit and direct criticism of neighboring Pakistan, which his government accuses of sponsoring terror activity by Muslim extremists across the 'Line of Control" in Indian Kashmir. In a strongly worded statement, Mr. Vajpayee said some nominal participants in the global war against terrorism are themselves "part of the problem," and said terror attacks cannot be legitimized by citing "root causes" or "imaginary freedom struggles."

When did Pakistan president offer the truce?

A.On Wednesday.

B.On Thursday.

C.On Friday.

D.On Tuesday.

听力原文: A suicide bomber driving a petrol tanker killed at least 60 Iraqi Shias yesterday as the vehicle caught fire and exploded, engulfing scores of people in flames near a mosque and market south of Baghdad.

The huge blast near a Shia mosque in Musayyib, 40 miles from the capital, came on another day of unrelenting violence that also claimed the lives of three British soldiers in a roadside bomb.

First details of the attack painted a picture of absolute horror even by the standards of Iraq as ambulances sped to the scene to attempt to give aid to the badly burned victims.

"This is a black day in the history of the town," Musayyib police chief Yas Khudayr said.

A1-Qaeda claimed responsibility.

"The Hassan Ibrahim al-Zaidi attack continues for the second day in a row, with rigged cars, martyrdom attacks and clashes," said a statement from the terror group on a website. The operation is continuing as planned and we warn the enemies of God of more to come.

News of the bombing came at the end of day of steady violence that saw the killing of three British soldiers, members of the 1st battalion of the Staffordshire Regiment, who were caught in another blast, in the troubled but largely Shia city of al-Amarah.

It was not clear immediately who had planted this bomb, but if it was Shia radicals this would signal an alarming return in the area to the violence of last year that saw three British soldiers die as they battled Shia gunmen from the Jaish Mahdi militia of the firebrand cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr.

What do you know about the attack?

A.It killed 60 Iraqi Shias.

B.It happened 14 miles from the capital.

C.No one claimed the responsibility.

D.Even Iraqis felt terrible.

"During the whole of a dull, dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the cl
ouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher." Thus Edgar Allan Poe opened his story of "The Fall of the House of Usher" in 1839. In this beautifully crafted sentence he captured so much that is essential to the horror story: darkness, ominous solitude, foreboding calm, apprehension and uncertainty, and a deep feeling of melancholy that could soon turn to fear.

Many kinds of fiction are self-explanatory: mysteries, Westerns, love stories, spy thrillers, and science fiction define themselves by the terms used to name them. The horror story is less easily defined, perhaps because other types of fiction so often use the trappings of terror to enhance their plots. Charles Dickens used the vehicle of an old-fashioned ghost story to tell "A Christmas Carol", but that book is not a horror story. Nor does a Grimm brothers fairy tale such as "Hansel and Gretel," with its child devouring witch, belong to the genre.

The nature of the horror story is best indicated by the title of the 1980s television series Tales from the Dark side. Human beings have always acknowledged that there is evil in the world and a dark side to human nature that cannot be explained except perhaps in religious terms. This evil may be imagined as having an almost unlimited power to inspire anxiety, fear, dread, and terror in addition to doing actual physical and mental harm.

In the tale of horror quite ordinary people are confronted by something unknown and fearful, which can be neither understood nor explained in reasonable terms. It is the emphasis on the unreasonable that lies at the heart of horror stories.

This kind of literature arose in the 18th century at the start of a movement called Romanticism. The movement was a reaction against a rational, orderly world in which humanity was basically good and everything could be explained scientifically. The literary type that inspired the horror story is Gothic fiction, tales of evil, often set in sinister medieval surroundings. This original kind of horror fiction has persisted to the present.

Which one is not the characteristics of honor story?

A.darkness, ominous solitude and uncertainty, and they are easy to understand

B.a deep feeling of melancholy

C.foreboding calm, apprehension

D.violence
