16、hension （ 2*20=40 ）Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passageis followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them the re are four choices marked A) ， B) ， C) and D). You should choose the best choice.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:M

17、ore and more, the operations of our businesses, 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 substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have

18、done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It's easy for computer 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 h

19、is 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 or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may be the vic

20、tims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch( 键盘打孔 ) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards he was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipp

21、ed off( 向 透露 ) the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, 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. A

22、ll 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 that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled( 耍弄 ) the most confidential re

23、cords 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.41. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A) it is still impossible to detect computer

24、 crimes todayB) computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutionsC) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request their company42. It is implied in the third paragraph that _.A) many mo

25、re computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their bad luck 43. Which of the following is mentioned in t

26、he passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation3 / 9D) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.44. What may happen to com

27、puter criminals once they are caught?A) With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to confidential records.C) They may walk away and easily find another job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.45. The passage is mainly about _.A) why computer crimes

28、 are difficult to detect by systematic inspections.B) why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentC) how computer criminals manage to get good recommendation from their formeremployersD) why computer crimes can't be eliminatedQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:It

29、 is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an

30、increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firs

31、tly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group say

32、s, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap so

33、urce of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium( 铀) in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could p rice nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmen

34、talists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programmes

35、 are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy o

36、ther than nuclear power.46. The writer's attitude toward nuclear energy is _.A) indifferent B) favorable C) tolerant D) negative47. According to the opponents of nuclear energy, which of the following is true of nuclear energy?A) Primitive B) Exhaustible C) Cheap D) Unsafe48. Some people claim t

37、hat nuclear energy is essential because _ .A) it provides a perfect solution to mass unemploymentB) it represents an enormous step forward in our scientific evolutionC) it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing societyD) nuclear power stations can be run and maintained by relative

38、ly few technical and4 / 9administrative staff49. Which of the following statements does the writer support?A) The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.B) Nuclear energy is something we cannot do without.C) Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological

39、reasons.D) Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion ofnuclear energy programmes.50. The function of the last sentence is to _.A) advance the final argument.B) reflect the writer's attitude.C) reverse previously expressed thoughts. D) show the disadvantages of nuclear power.Questio

40、ns 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer's background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.Sin

41、ce clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people's impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated( ) by a young

42、 adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person's education, background, or interests.People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits( ), including the number of boyfrien

43、ds they likely have had and whether they smoke or d rink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV , are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And collage students who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter person

44、al relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you ant

45、icipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or acourt appearance.In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of &qu

46、ot;masculine" an d "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women d

47、isplay less "feminine" grooming( )-shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won't get a job."51. According to the passage, the way we dr

48、ess _.A) provides clues for people who are critical of usB) indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a careerC) has a direct influence on the way people regard usD) is of particular importance when we get on in age52. From the third paragraph of the passage, we can conclude that young adults ten

49、d to believe that certain types of clothing can _.A) change people's conservative attitudes toward their lifestyle5 / 9B) help young people make friends with the opposite sexC) make them competitive in the job marketD) help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships53. The word &q

50、uot;precedent" (Line 1, Para.4) probably refers to _ .A) early acts for men to follow as examplesB) particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importanceC) things that men should agree uponD) men's beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided54. Accordi

51、ng to the passage, many career women find themselves in difficult situations because_.A) the variety of professional clothing is too wide for them to chooseB) women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion modelsC) men are more favorably judged for managerial positionsD) they are not s

52、ure to what extent they should display their feminine qualitiesthrough clothing55. What is the passage mainly about?A) Dressing for effect. B) How to dress appropriately.C) Managerial positions and clothing. D) Dressing for the occasion.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:The more

53、women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape

54、 everyones experience in the organization.Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of A T&T, Coca-Cola, Prudenti

55、al, and Merch. Coleman says that based on what he's seen at bi g companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%, image, 30% 。 and exposure, a full 60%. Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common thes

56、e days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won't secure you the big promotion.He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales( 障眼物 ) have dropped fro m their eyes. "Wome
