解析:
1.B.
结合全文的内容,我们知道,Sam Wanamaker 筹划并重建了Globe剧院。文章的第一段的倒数第二句话告诉我们:Sam Wanamaker是美国的演员和电影导演。
2.D.
文章的第三段第一句话:日本德国和美国等国家模仿和重建了Globe剧院,但是他们都广泛采用了现代技术。本段还告诉我们Sam Wanamaker要重建的剧院将不使用现代技术,重建后的剧院将与莎士比亚时期的剧院一样,没有人造的灯光,没有录好的音乐,没有现代的戏服等等。所以在英国重建的剧院和其他国家的剧院的不同在于是否采用了现代技术进行表演。
3.C.
在第六段中有这样一句话:a belief, which was passionately held by Wanamaker, that in recent years productions of Shakespeare have become far too dependent on special technical effects of sound and lighting. 这句话明确告诉我们Sam Wanamaker认为近些年来莎士比亚戏剧的演出过多的依靠了技术型的声效和灯光,而他认为戏剧演出不应该过多依赖现代技术。
4.C.
文章第六段告诉我们Sam Wanamaker和他的支持者们将把重点放在戏剧的语言上。
5.A.
文章的第七段告诉我们:Globe的工程在英国得到极少的官方资助,主要有两个原因。其一就是:英国人对开放式的剧院心存偏见。另外一点就是:一些剧院建设成员认为剧院的重建会无果而终。重建剧院是否有意义,并不是剧院重建受到很少官方资助的原因。
More and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purpose can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.
It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employees. of course, we have no statistics in crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we don’t know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having ti stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards he was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed.
Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.
Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court how he jugged the most confidential records right under the noses if the company’s executive, accounts, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.
