15、s a safe, a fence and security officers, said Chris Swecker, who is in charge of the FBIs Charlotte office. Now any business with a modem is subject to attack.FBE agents investigating computer hacking that disrupted popular Web sites including A, CNN and Yahoo! this year identified several North Car

16、olina victims. The investigation has also identified computer systems in North Carolina used by hackers to commit such attacks.Prosecutions of hackers have been hampered by the reluctance of businesses to report security intrusions for fear of bad publicity and lost business. Meanwhile, too many cor

17、porations have made it too easy for criminals by sacrificing security for speed and accessibility. Jack Wiles, who will lead the local InfraGard chapters board, said a recent report estimated 97 percent of all cybercrime goes undetected. Wiles, a computer security expert, has a firewall on his perso

18、nal computer to prevent hackers from getting into his files.I get at least one report a day that somebody was trying to get into my computer, he said. The Net is a wonderful place, but its also a dangerous one.21. From the first paragraph, we knowA InfraGard is a protective measure aga/nst cybercrim

19、e.BI InfraGard is a measure of cooperation and collaboration.C there will be 50 InfraGard chapters in all states.DJ private business and the government are now committing cybererime.22.

23、tember.D A was once disrupted by hacking.Text 2The annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll of attitudes towards public education releasedthis week found that a majorty of Americans feel t is important to put a qualified,competent teacher in every classroom. Bob Chase, president of the National EducationA

24、ssociation (NEA), the main teachers union, wasted no time in pointing out that this willrequire raising teachers salaries so that more qualified candidates will enter the profession andstay there.A study by two economists suggests that the quality of Americas teachers has more to dowith how they are

25、 paid rather than how much. The pay of American public-school teachers isnot based on any measure of performance; instead, it is determined by a rigid formula based onexperience and years of schooling, factors massively unimportant in deciding how wellstudents do.The uniform pay scale invites what e

26、conomists call adverse selection. Since the mosttalented teachers are also likely to be good at other professions, they have a strong incentive toleave education for jobs in which pay is more closely linked to productivity. For dullards, theincentives are just the opposite.The data are striking: whe

27、n test scores are used as a proxy for ability, the brightestindividuals shun the teaching profession at every juncture. Clever students are the least likelyto choose education as a major at university. Among students who do major in education, those with higher test scores are less likely to become

28、teachers. And among individuals who enterteaching, those with the highest test scores are the most likely to leave the profession early.The study takes into consideration the effects of a nationwide 20% real increase in teachersalaries during the 1980s. It concludes that it had no appreciable effect

29、 on overall teacherquality, in large part because schools do a poor job of. recruiting and-selecting the best teachers.Also, even if higher salaries lure more qualified candidates into the profession, the overall effect on quality may be offset by mediocre teachers who choose to postpone retirement.

30、The study also takes aim at teacher training. Every state requires that teachers be licensed,a process that can involve up to two years of education classes, even for those who have auniversity degree or a graduate degree in the field they would like to teach. Inevitably, thissystem does little to l

31、ure in graduates of top universities or professionals who would like toenter teaching at mid-career.26. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A NEA is the largest society for teachers.B Education-majored students are not as wise as people have assumed.C Young teachers are paid less be

32、cause their students dont do well enough.D The study is both concerned with the effects of rise in payment and teacher training.27. Increase in teacher salaries did not turn out so effective mainly because of the following reasons EXCEPT .A the authorities do not set standards for qualified teachers

33、.BI mediocre teachers postpone retirement.C the salaries were not attractive enough.D teachers didnt have equal opportunities.28. According to the passage, the reason for clever students refusal to take teaching as profession is because .A it offers low pay.B they have interest in other professions.

34、C it does not value productivity.D it uses poor recruiting strategies.29. The data are striking: when the brightest individuals shun the teaching profession at every juncture means .A students doing well in study are willing to take teaching as a career.B students doing well in study cant avoid choo

35、sing teaching as a career.C students doing well in study are reluctant to be teachers.D students doing well in study are not reluctant to be teachers.30. All can be concluded BUT .A teaching in U.S.A needs a certificate.B the more outstanding one is, the more likely he is to choose teaching.C Americ

36、an public-school teachers are paid in proportion to experience and years of schooling.D increase in teachers salaries is to attract more qualified candidates to teaching.Text 3The Nobel prize in economics had a difficult birth. It was created in 1969 to mimic thefive prizes initiated under Alfred No

37、bels will. These had already been around for 68 years, andpurists fought hard to stop the newcomer. Some members of the Royal Swedish Academy ofSciences still dismiss economics as unscientific, and its prize as not a proper Nobel. Earlywinners were among the prizes fiercest critics. Gunnar Myrdal, w

38、ho shared the award in 1974,said the prize ought to be abolished (but he did not return the money). Milton Friedman, winnerin 1976, doubted the ability of a few people in Stockholm to make decisions respected aroundthe world.By the 1990s, the Nobel committee had gained a reputation for intransigence

39、. Gary Becker won only after a flood of nominations forced the cabal in Stockholm to act. The father of game theory won only after Mr. Nashs sudden recovery from paranoid schizophrenia,though the disease had no bearing on the quality of his work, the best of which was done beforehe became ill. Rober

40、t Lucas received a prize that many economists believed he should have hadmuch earlier. In 1998, the prize became the subject of countless jokes after the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management, a hedge-fund firm whose founders included Robert Mertonand Myron Scholes, the 1997 Nobel laureates. The

41、Merton/Scholes choice also highlighted another enduring problem with the prize:untimely deaths. Fischer Black, co-originator of the options-pricing model for which MessrsMerton and Scholes were recognised, died a year too soon to join his collaborators on thepodium. Last year, many economists hoped

42、that Zvi Griliches, a noted econometrician who wasunquestionably deserving of the prize, and was suffering from a long illness, would win. He didnot, and died soon afterwards. Because the prize came into being so late, there is still a backlogof elderly luminaries waiting to be recognised. Paul Samu

43、elson, one of the younger winners,and Mr Becker, who was a friend of Griliches, want the committee to take old age explicitlyinto account.The committee could also cast its net more widely across the profession. Almost ail the laureates are also theoreticians; advances in empirical work and applicati

44、ons in the past two decades have yet to be paid due respect, a fact bemoaned by Mr Becker. Mr Samuelson adds that the economics committees selection methods have excessively mimicked those used for the prizes in natural sciences: If the right apple fell on your head, and you saw it, then you got the

45、 prize. But if you had a lifetime of excellence in all branches of physics, you didnt get it.31. From the first paragraph, we learned that .A the Nobel prize in economics was created under Alfred Nobels will.B Gunnar Myrdal was one of the Nobel prize winners in economics.C Milton Friedman refused to

46、 accept the prize.Dthe Nobel committee had not the ability to make decisions.32. We can learn from the text that about the winners of the Nobel prize in economics during 1990s, .A Gary Becker won the prize after he forced the committee to act.BMr Nashs illness delayed his receiving of the prize.Cobert Lucas received the prize earlier than expected.D Robert Merton and Myron Scholes played jokes on the prize.33. According to the text, the authors attitude toward Nobel prize i
