MONTAGNE: In the summer of 2011, the world first heard of a small island in Norway under the most terrible of circumstances. Utoya Island was a youth camp run by Norway's Labor Party. One day in July, a heavily armed, right-wing extremist stepped onto the island and began shooting at random. Sixty-nine people died, over 100 were wounded; almost all, young people. This month, artist Jonas Dahlberg was appointed to create a memorial. He described to us the experience he imagines for those who come to the island.
DAHLBERG: You start your walk through a forest of evergreens on a wooden pathway. After a while, this pathway starts to go down into the landscape.
MONTAGNE: Down into the landscape, and into a short tunnel. When you come out, you are unable to go any farther. You can't get to the tip of the island because it has been cut off. So all you can do is look across a narrow channel of water at what is now a wall of polished stone, carved with the names of the dead.
DAHLBERG: It becomes almost like a gravestone. You cannot reach it. It's close enough to be able to read, but it's forever lost for your possibility to reach.
MONTAGNE: It's being called a memory wound. Exactly what do you mean by that?
DAHLBERG: During my first site visit, the experience of seeing those gunshots—and you can see it was like being in an open wound. And it took me to a stage of deep sadness where it was hard to breathe. So I didn't want to illustrate loss; I wanted to make actual loss. It's just a cut through the island.
MONTAGNE: On the day of the massacre, just hours before launching his shooting on the island, the killer set off a bomb in downtown Oslo, leaving eight people dead. As those events were unfolding, artist Jonas Dahlberg had been out with his brother, and stopped in at a seaside village.
DAHLBERG: In the harbor, it was silent, and this is the higher end of summer. So, it's normally a very lively place. And it was total silence there; and it was a very, very strange feeling in the whole small village. And it's totally impossible to grasp what is going on. And then it just kept on. It's still almost impossible to understand it. It's also one of the reasons why it's so important with memorials for these kind of things. It's to maybe help a little bit to understand what was happening. So it's not just about remembering. It's also about trying to just understand.
MONTAGNE: Artist Jonas Dahlberg designed the memorial for the 69 who died at a youth camp on Utoya Island. The attack was the deadliest in Norway since World War II. That memorial will open in 2015. And to see a virtual version of what it will look like, go to our website, at npr.org. This is Renee Montagne at NPR news.
小題1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Utoya Island was the only bloody shooting spot planned by the killer.
B．Utoya Island used to be a youth camp site and now has been reduced to total silence.
C．Dahlberg and his brother witnessed the shooting on Utoya Island.
D．Visitors to Utoya Island can touch the names of the victims carved on the polished stone.
小題2:By the underlined phrase “a memory wound”, Dahlberg means all the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．the artist plans to slice through the end of an island to make actual loss
B．memorials are supposed to be not only about remembering but helping people to understand what was happening
C．this memorial shows the gunshots vividly to the visitors for them to understand what was happening
D．the space between is meant to symbolize how those who were killed are gone but are not forgotten
小題3: Which of the following pictures shows the design of the memorial?
A．B．
C．D．

One of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.
Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”
IIT­Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.
“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT­Mumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (搖籃曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student. 
小題1:According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to ______.
A．perform well in studiesB．participate in social activities
C．know their classmates betterD．feel lonely and even suicidal
小題2:The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “______”.
A．unpopular B．meaningfulC．a(chǎn)bnormalD．exciting
小題3:What measures have been taken in IIT­Mumbai?
A．Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.
B．Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.
C．Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.
D．Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.
小題4:We may infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A．a(chǎn)ll electronics students hate the banning order
B．some students complain about the banning order
C．there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever since
D．more students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet
