听力原文： Israel is speeding up construction of its controversial West Bank barrier. The Palestinians say it's a land grab.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has ordered quicker work to complete construction of Israel's West Bank separation barrier, especially in the area of Jerusalem. Israel began building the nearly 700 kilometer long barrier two years ago, but only a third has been completed. Israeli officials say that's way too slow.
"Let's just get it done," said Cabinet Minister and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."This is a security fence, it is not a political border, it is not meant to keep people in like the Berlin Wall, it is meant to keep terrorists out."
It is not clear how the government will speed up construction of the barrier in light of previous rulings by the Israeli Supreme Court. In the past, the Court has ruled that the government is illegally confiscating West Bank land and creating hardship for Palestinians.
Israeli analyst Dan Schueftan told VOA that many Israelis believe the court is favoring the Palestinians over Israeli security.
"And the more they take decisions in this direction, the more Israelis will question the wisdom of the Supreme Court."
So by ordering rapid construction of the barrier, Mr. Sharon is responding to public opinion. But the Palestinians say it's a land grab.
Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat: "The only thing that's growing on the ground now is more Israeli settlements, more walls, and more dictations and more harming of the Palestinian people."
The International Court of Justice in the Hague ruled last year that the barrier is illegal and must be torn down. But after more than a hundred suicide bombings during the past four-and-a-half years of conflict, Israel is determined to build the barrier as quickly as possible.
The Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that ______.
A．building West Bank barrier is legal
B．building West Bank barrier is illegal
C．building West Bank barrier is reasonable
D．building West Bank barrier is welcomed

Acknowledging that demand for its controversial stock sale was weaker than it thought, 【B1】______ .
The popular Internet search engine e-mailed investors registered to bid on its shares that it priced the initial public offering at $85 a share. That was the low end of the new expected range, which was already reduced from $135.
Also, 【B2】______ , and several big shareholders said they would not sell anything in the IPO.
The upshot, rather than raising $3.1 billion in what would have been the 13th biggest initial public offering, the sale would raise just $1.7 billion— 【B3】______ .

Co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who would have been worth $4.6 billion midway in the original IPO range, saw the value of their post-sale stakes shrink to $3.2 billion. Still, 【B4】______ .
A series of missteps by Google and renewed turmoil in tech stocks proved a powerful problem for what has been billed as the most anticipated IPO since the tech bubble burst. "Google has stumbled badly out of the gate, even before it was out of the gate," says David Garrity of research firm Caris & Co.
Late Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission granted Google's request to certify the IPO, after delaying the offering 24 hours. Separately, Google said the SEC was investigating whether its co-founders had violated "quiet period" rules. Soon after the SEC decision, 【B5】______ .

Gordon Shaw the physicist, 66, and colleagues have discovered what's known as the "Mozart effect," the ability of a Mozart sonata, under the right circumstances, to improve the listener's mathematical and reasoning abilities. But the findings are controversial and have launched all kinds of crank notions about using music to make kids smarter. The hype, he warns, has gotten out of hand.
But first, the essence: Is there something about the brain cells work to explain the effect？ In 1978 the neuroscientist Vernon Mountcastle devised a model of the neural structure of the brain's gray matter. Looking like a thick band of colorful bead work, it represents the firing patterns of groups of neurons. Building on Mounteastle, Shaw and his team constructed a model of their own. On a lark, Xiaodan Leng, who was Shaw's colleague at the time, used a synthesizer to translate these patterns into music. What came out of the speakers wasn't exactly toe-tapping, but it was music. Shaw and Leng inferred that music and brain-wave activity are built on the same sort of patterns.
"Gordon is a contrarian in his thinking," says his longtime friend, Nobel Prize-winning Stanford physicist Martin Peri. "That's important. In new areas of science, such as brain research, nobody knows how to do it."
What do neuroscientists and psychologists think of Shaw's findings？' They haven't condemned it, but neither have they confirmed it. Maybe you have to take them with a grain of salt, but the experiments by Shaw and his colleagues are intriguing. In March a team led by Shaw announced that young children who had listened to the Mozart sonata and studied the piano over a period of months improved their scores by 27% on a test of ratios and proportions. The control group against which they were measured received compatible enrichment courses--minus the music. The Mozart-trained kids are now doing math three grade levels ahead of their peers, Shaw claims.
Proof of all this, of course, is necessarily elusive because it can be difficult to do a double- blind experiment of educational techniques. In a double-blind trial of an arthritis drug, neither the study subjects nor the experts evaluating them know which ones got the test treatment and which a dummy pill. How do you keep the participants from knowing it's Mozart on the CD？
In the first paragraph Gordon Shaw's concern is shown over ______.
A．the open hostility by the media towards his findings
B．his strength to keep trying out the "Mozart effect"
C．a widespread misunderstanding of his findings
D．the sharp disagreement about his discovery
