1、Computer crimesMore 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 fｏｒhis own purposes 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 fｏｒcomputer 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 walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected but it\'s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections ｏｒother security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Fｏｒexample, a certain keypunch operatｏｒcomplained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were fｏｒdishonest 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, ｏｒgo 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 their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company\'s executives, accountants, ａｎｄ　security staff. ａｎｄ　so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.It is implied in the third paragraph that ____.【单选题】

A.many more computer crimes go undetected than are discovered

B.the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem

C.most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes

D.most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck

正确答案:A

答案解析:文章的第三段指出，“究竟有多少计算机犯罪，我们没有确切的统计数字，令人不安的是很多计算机犯罪是偶然中被发现的，而不是系统的检查或者通过其他安全防范措施而发现的。”这说明A是正确的：没有被发现的计算机犯罪比被发现的计算机犯罪要多得多。

2、Egypt Felled by Famine Even ancient Egypt\'s mighty pyramid builders were powerless in the face of the famine that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 BC. Now evidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame ａｎｄ　the same ｏｒworse could happen today. The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile\'s annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminished these floods. Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stablize the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile ａｎｄ　into Egypt, along with sediment from the White Nile. The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signature from that of the White Nile. So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to 4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypt\'s Old Kingdom. The weakened waters would have been catastrophic fｏｒthe Egyptians. " Changes that affect food supply don\'t have to be very large to have a ripple effect in societies," says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doberty Earth Observatory in New York. "Similar events today could be even more devastating," says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D C. " Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically. " Which of the following factors was ultimately responsible fｏｒthe fall of the civilization of ancient Egypt? 【单选题】

A.Change of climate.

B.Famine.

C.Flood.

D.Population growth.

正确答案:A

答案解析:A：气候的变化。第一段中有这样一个子句… a shift in climate… was ultimately to blame…最终须归咎于气候的变化。在第一题的题解中，我们提到了“饥荒”与“古埃及文明毁灭”的关系。但“饥荒”是表层的因素，“气候的变化”才是古埃及文明毁灭的深层的因素。因此A是正确的答案。B：饥荒。C：水灾。D：人口增长。

3、Early childhood educationIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement ａｎｄ　economic success, fｏｒpossible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find in most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese ａｎｄ　210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, ａｎｄ　parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons fｏｒa society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children fｏｒsuccessful careers in first grade ａｎｄ　beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, ａｎｄ　mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, ａｎｄ　the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese ａｎｄ　American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with aｇｒｏｕｐexperience as one of their top three reasons fｏｒa society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listedｇｒｏｕｐexperience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of theｇｒｏｕｐseen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training ｏｒpotential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary ａｎｄ　secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children\'s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools ａｎｄ　universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out fｏｒthe heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.In Japan\'s preschool education, the focus is on ____.【单选题】

A.preparing children academically

B.developing children\'s artistic interests

C.tapping children\'s potential

D.shaping children\'s character

正确答案:D

答案解析:A选项与全文的中心思想不符；B、C选项是片面的概括；D选项把文中提到的persistence，concentration. ａｎｄ　the ability. to function as a member of a group很好的概括为shaping children\'s character，故D为正确的选项。

4、Flu doesScratchy throats, stuffy noses ａｎｄ　body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold ｏｒflu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds ａｎｄ　the flu, ａｎｄ　one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That\'s because the prescription drugs available fｏｒthe flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As fｏｒcolds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold ａｎｄ　the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses-flu A, B ａｎｄ　C. There is no cure fｏｒeither illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, fｏｒmost people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu ａｎｄ　common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose ａｎｄ　scratchy throat typically develop gradually, ａｎｄ　adults ａｎｄ　teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu fｏｒall ages. ａｎｄ　in general, flu symptoms including fever ａｎｄ　chills, sore throat ａｎｄ　body aches come on suddenly ａｎｄ　are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants ａｎｄ　preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctｏｒif their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold ａｎｄ　flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children ａｎｄ　teens with a cold ｏｒflu should not take aspirin fｏｒpain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver ａｎｄ　central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine fｏｒthe common cold but frequent hａｎｄ　washing ａｎｄ　avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help ____.【单选题】

A.shorten the duration of the illness

B.the patient buys medicine over the counter

C.the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs

D.prevent people from catching colds ａｎｄ　the flu

正确答案:A

答案解析:依据文章第一段可知“喉咙发痒、鼻子堵塞、全身酸痛都会让人感觉糟糕，但是从这些症状并不能判断是由伤风感冒引起的还是由流感引起的，能判断这种糟糕的感觉会持续多久”由此可直接选出正确答案是A。

5、A Tale of Scottish Rural LifeLewis Grassic Gibbon\'s SunｓｅｔSong (1932) was voted "the best Scottish novel of all time" by Scottish\'s reading public in 2005. Once considered shocking fｏｒits frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland\'s poｏｒrural farmers, it has been adapted fｏｒstage, film, TV ａｎｄ　radio in recent decades.The novel is ｓｅｔon the fictional estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to ａｎｄ　beyond World War I. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community ａｎｄ　a little outside it.Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed ａｎｄ　intimate account of the life of his heroine. We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father; experience tragedy (her mother\'s suicide ａｎｄ　murder of her twin children); ａｎｄ　learn about her feelings as she grows into woman. We see her marry, lose her husband, then marry again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris. It is truly a novel of a place ａｎｄ　its people. Its opening section tells of Kinraddie\'s long history, in a language that imitates the place\'s changing patterns of speech ａｎｄ　writing.The story itself is amazingly full of characters ａｎｄ　incidents. It is told from Chris\' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community, a community where everybody knows everybody else\'s business ａｎｄ　nothing is ever forgotten.SunｓｅｔSong has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization ａｎｄ　then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris\' husband, Ewan Tavendale. The war finally kills Ewan, but not in the way his widow is told In fact, the Germans aren\'t responsible fｏｒhis death, but his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead, it is a "SunｓｅｔSong" but is concerned too with the new Kinraddie, indeed of the new European world Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.What is SunｓｅｔSong mainly about?【单选题】

A.The First World War.

B.The beauty of the sunset.

C.The new European world.

D.The lives of rural Scottish farmers.

正确答案:D

答案解析:A:第一次世界大战；B：日落之美；C：新欧洲世界；D:苏格兰农夫的生活。选项D是正确的，相关的信息可在第一段中找到。
