"This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law," he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over
the state to handle the disturbances.
The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. 'They carried placards that read "No Nukes is Good Nukes," "Sun power, Not Nuclear Power," and "Stop Private Profits from Public Peril." They defied police order to move from the area.

Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.

听力原文: Demonstrations by Muslims in northern Nigeria protesting against European cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad have ended in violence and deaths. Police said most of the fatalities were in the City of Maiduguri, where protests descended into a rioting. It began with a peaceful demonstration, organized by Islamic groups against the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Witnesses say demonstrators were chanting "Ala Akbar" when police fired teargas to disperse the crowd. As they fled, mobs attacked churches and businesses owned by the Christian minority in the city. The Nigeria national police spokesman Haz Iwendi said 15 people were killed and 11 churches were destroyed in the rioting. He said a curfew had been imposed in the city, and the military had been called in to patrol the streets alongside the police.

A.Demonstrators attacked some churches and businesses.

The impetus for the American Revolution was the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ended the struggle between the British and French for control over North America. Since the colonists were no longer frightened by the French, they ceased to rely upon the British for protection and were not as submissive as they were formerly. On the other hand, the British regarded the colonies as a source of revenue and began to impose unfair taxes upon them. The Sugar Act in 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765 were so eagerly opposed by discontented colonists that rioting broke out. The Stamp Act was repealed in 1766 as a result of the riots.
The British continued their policy of taxation without collaboration with their once obedient subjects. The Townshend Acts (a series of taxes on glass, lead, paper and tea) created such disgust that the citizens of Boston attacked British soldiers who fired upon them. A new tea tax in 1773 again consolidated Boston residents' disagreement. About fifty men disguised as Indians boarded British ships and got rid of their cargo of tea in protest against the tea tax. That was the famous Boston Tea Party. In reprisal, the British abolished the Bostonians' right to self-rule, and by passing what were referred to as Intolerable Acts in Boston, they infuriated all of the colonies and caused them to unite in protest.
Representatives from twelve colonies gathered in Philadelphia in 1774 to plan a stratagem to avoid British interference in trade and to protest the infamy of taxation without representation. The British responded that the colonies were in rebellion, and, since nothing would soothe either side, both sides prepared for war.
According to the passage, the first violent protest against the British was made in ______.
A.1776
B.1765
C.1770
D.1773

听力原文: Could I have your attention please? Thank you.
As I told you this morning, this afternoon is our shopping afternoon. If you have a look at the back page of your tour prograrnme, you'll see a little map of the city centre, with the names of some of the shops marked. As you won't have too much time, I'm just going to explain to you what they sell.
We're now in the Friendship Shopping Centre. On your right is Larp's, a very good place for shoes and boots, rather than gloves, bags, clothes or others. Opposite that is Li-Ning, a good place for sports goods, not cheap, but really pretty. Next door to Li-Ning is a place for books. They have got books on almost every subject anyone has ever written about, airplanes to animals, but Chinese only — so none of your English books I'm afraid. If you walk along, there are shops which sell cameras, radios, and so on, which you won't buy, I'm afraid. If you are fired or would like to have a nice cup of afternoon tea, I suggest Splend Tea Shop, where you can have British afternoon tea, with very good home-made cakes, chocolates and others. The shop is two blocks away from here, but within walking distance.
What does the speaker do most probably?
A.He's a teacher.
B.He's a tour guide.
C.He's a shop-assistant.
Suroyo Bimantoro defied Wahid’s dismissal by attending a ceremony promoting police officers in Jakarta yester- day.
He late met with senior legislators who accused Wahid of violating the constitution by firing the chief without con- suiting parliament. More than 100 senior police generals signed a statemeat backing Bimantoro, the state news agency reported.
Bimantoro said he would only step down if parliament asked him to, which is unlikely to happen.
Wahid’s spokesman Yahya Staguf said that firing Bimantoro was constitutional and that the police chief had been meddling in politics.
He said Bimantoro was trying to create a rift between the President mid Vive-president, who many lawmakers want to replace Wahid if they onst him durning impeachment proceedings in August.
"Those actions will he considered insubordination and stem action will be taken if this is ignored," Wahid’s spokesman said.
The president, facing impeachment over allegations of corruption and incompetence, which he denies, fired Biman- toro and several Cabinet ministers on Friday and condemned the police for their handling of recent violence in East Java, where officers shot and killed one of Wahid’s supporters last week.
Wahid ordered an investigation into the violence and warned police officers on Saturday not to disobey him, saying that those who did not accept Bimantoro’s removal would be prosecuted for insubordination.
Lawmakers were not lazed.
"The police chief is still Bimantoro. He is still active,'‘said Arifin Panigoro, a top lawmaker from Megawati’s pony, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle.
The powerful army is also hacking Bimantoro, the Takarta Post's Intemet edition said yesterday, quotiag unidentified sources.
Several senior army officers met late Saturday to distress the situation, military spokesman Air Vice-Marshul Graito Usodo said, but he declined to say if the army was becking the police chief's stand against Wahid, calling it "a political matter." Wahid, a Muslim scholar, is from East Java and many people there revere him as a holy man and sage, regarding attempts to oust him so tantamount to sacrilege.
Wahid wanted to fire ______.
A.a cabinet member
B.the national police chief
C.a lawmaker
D.a Muslim scholar
