Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best ch

18、oice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWEAR SHEET.Passage OneEver since Stephanies 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. Weve heard everything from, “ Sure shes a good kid, but just wait, now

19、 that shes a teenager .” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” Whats more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our dau

20、ghters. I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but Im 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want todays kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey t

21、oward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our r

22、espect for them. I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boy

23、s came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off

24、and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappyabout the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our childrens heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to go after, we really sh

25、ouldnt complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect _.A. trouble B. sympathy C. congratulations D. inspiring comments42. In the authors opinion, the trouble with parents is that _.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their ch

26、ildrens futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was _.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. somethin

27、g interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hai

28、r.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring po

29、p singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our b

30、usinesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed t

31、o get away without punishment.Its easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what thecomputer 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

32、 on crimes that go undetected. But its disturbing to notehow many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematicinspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. Unlike other lawbreaker

33、s, 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

34、 are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密)records right under the noses of the companys executives, accountants, an

35、d security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs tocontinue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC.

36、 computer criminals escape punishment because they cant be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that _.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer

37、 crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies

38、 usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reput

39、ation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about _.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer c

40、rimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their formeremployersD. why computer crimes cant be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not thinkabout: space. Ever

41、y person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surroundinghis physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a persons “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example,

42、in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arms length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an A

43、merican while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. ToAmericans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement ordisgust, shock or sadness. People with a “pok

44、er face”, whose emotions are hidden by adeadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate theirattentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely andmaintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or

45、threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesnt look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motivesor assume that he doesnt like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still considerstaringespecially at strangersto be rude
