In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible,and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.”And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their trades are“untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation(诱惑) . Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money.But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.
Computer criminals don't use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else's account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler (赌徒) . When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.
Some employees use the computers' power to get revenge(报仇) on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days’ notice. In those thirty days,she erased (清除) all the company's computerized records.
Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is“the tip of the iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing——the ones who know how a computer works.”
56. Which feature of computers makes computer theft possible
A. They are fast, flexible and accurate to run every program.
B. They usually function normally.
C. They have no sense of what is right or wrong.
D. They have no reason to steal money.
57. The author uses the case of the head teller to show .
A. how computer criminals do evil things
B. how hard it is to find computer criminals
C. computers lack conscience
D. computer crime can involve a big sum of money
58. The head teller was found guilty of stealing .
A. after the police examined the illegal gambling operation documents
B. when the police broke up the illegal gambling operation
C. after ha was questioned on the unusual balance of an account
D. when he was caught transmitting money from one account to another
59. Why did the computer tape librarian erase all the company's computerized records
A. She might think it was right to revenge any injustice in professional life.
B. She might think the employer was wrong to fire her for personal problems.
C. The company carelessly gave her enough time to do the erasing.
D. The company always interfered with its employees’ personal life.
60. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Minor employees are supposed to be responsible for economic criminals.
B. Of all crimes, computer theft is“the tip of the iceberg”.
C. Computer crimes are all poorly done.
D. There are more computer crimes committed by computer masters.
C
When I started university, people told me, “These will be the best days of your life.” Not only would these be the best days of my life, everyone said, but they would also be the most exciting. By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. But I didn't tell anyone.
I certainly didn't put it on Facebook —— its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot.
Jemma Lamble and I are friends on Facebook - - - what impression did she get from my Facebook page “There is one feeling I got when I clicked on Libby's Facebook page and that is jealousy.”
Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. “University life wasn't the walk in the park I had expected,” says Jemma. “I certainly didn't expect the feeling of loneliness that I experienced because I found it hard to connect with the people on my course.”
Sophie Smith remembers her first day:“As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy,‘Wow,LCF,I still can't believe I'm here’. He replied, ‘Well,LCF is lucky to have me.’ I don’ t want to label everyone on the course because there are some lovely people too.”
My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. Now that I am starting my third and final year,I can look back and see that university has been an experience.
61. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. The author was hard to please.
B. The author might not be very easy to get along with.
C. The author had been fooled by those people.
D. The author felt disappointed with her campus life.
62. Which of the following is TRUE about Facebook according to the text
A. A Facebook page may be a complete lie.
B. People really enjoy themselves on Facebook.
C. Facebook lives are a mirror of the real ones.
D. Facebook makes a person competitive.
63. The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means“ ”.
A. a comfortable journey on foot on campus
B. an easy or pleasurable experience
C. a matter of importance
D. something unexpected
64. Sophie Smith must have considered the guy who replied to her .
A. fortunate B. humorous C. impolite D. considerate
65. What does the author mainly say in the last paragraph
A. She feels regretful.
B. LCF is not her dream college.
C. Hardship has made her stronger.
D. Friendship weighs more than social experience.
D
So many of us hold on to little resentments(怨恨) that may have resulted from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us - - - believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle (重新点燃) a friendship or family relationship.
An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn't very good, recently told me that she hasn't spoken to her son in almost three years. “Why not ” I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted at first and said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should say sorry.” She was literally (简直) willing to die before reaching out to her only son.After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and sincerely said sorry to her. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn“small thing” into really“big thing” in our minds.We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you' re wrong. Everything will be fine. You' ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You' ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be“right”, they will become less defensive and more loving towards you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself.
66. What happened to the author's acquaintance after she called her son
A. She was literally willing to die.
B. She received her son's apology.
C. She was encouraged by the author.
D. She realized her mistakes.
67. What does the author want to explain by taking her acquaintance as an example
A. That it is beneficial for both sides to reach out first.
B. That a gentle encouragement will be helpful to solve the problem.
C. That painful events should be forgotten.
D. That parents and children are easier to make peace.
68. We can infer from the third paragraph that .
A. happiness matters more than preventing the embarrassment at reaching out first
B. to be peaceful is more important than to be right in any disagreement
C. to avoid arguments and misunderstandings means seeking for happiness
D. holding on to the right position leads to resentments
69. According to the passage, you can be more peaceful by .
A. trying your best to complete your own work perfectly
B. helping others create their inner content
C. being active and forgetting unpleasantness
D. understanding the importance of being less defensive
70. The author's aim in writing this article is to argue that .
A. many people hold on to little resentments
B. letting others be right will definitely make them reach back
C. children should apologize to their parents first
D. it's good to be the first one to reach out to break little resentments
卷ⅠⅠ 主观题(共35分)
第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Everyone has got two personalities —— the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you' re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you' re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night,of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
● If you go to sleep on your back, you' re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You' re quite shy and you aren't very confident.
● If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you' re always easily upset. You' re very stubborn, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
●If you sleep on curling(蜷缩) up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you' re often defensive. You' re shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to stay alone.
●If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You' re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
