a. passwords help keep your personal information b. its important to set passwords to your computer c. its unsafe to store personal information on computers. d. there are some safeguards for your personal information. 29. hackers usually get others information from . a. ram b. the hard disk c. a worm d. the e-mail30. garfinkel and his colleagues created a software tool to . a. find out how hackers steal personal information b. protect personal information from being stolen c. tag and track sensitive data on the computer d. see how a complete computer system works31. talking about computer safety, which of the following the writer would probably suggest? a. people should stop using computers. b. better computer programs are needed. c. hackers should be heavily punished. d. program developers are to blame. d in modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. i have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. for them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. in their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. however, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. in a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. teaching these young people, i often observe in them a desire to fail. they seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. by not trying, they always have an excuse: “i may have lost, but it doesnt matter because i really didnt try.” what is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. such a loss would be a measure of their worth. clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. both are afraid of not being valued. only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（消失）can we discover a new meaning in competition.32. what does this passage mainly talk about? a. competition is harmful to personal quality development. b. opinions about competition are different among people. c. competition helps to set up self-respect. d. failures are necessary experiences in competition.33. the underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means _. a. those who try their best to win b. those who value competition most highly c. those who are against competition most strongly d. those who rely on others most for success34. what is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”? a. ones worth lies in his performance compared with others. b. ones success in competition needs great efforts. c. ones achievement is determined by his particular skills. d. ones success is based on how hard he has tried. 35. which point of view may the author agree to? a. every effort should be paid back. b. competition should be encouraged. c. winning should be a life-and-death matter. d. fear of failure should be removed in competition.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文内容的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。make your home a happier placehave you ever had a dream to make your home a happier place? maybe there are some points you can follow. 36 when you want to dress in a modern way, your mum doesnt like you wearing a mini-skirt. when you are making phone calls to friends, they ask if youre speaking to a boy or a girl. sometimes it seems that youre not as close to your parents as you used to be. how can you become close again?closing the gap by american writer jay mcgraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents. 37 when you think, “my parents dont want me to have any fun,” that usually means your parents want you to be safe. 38 they need to feel they are important and loved. you should tell your parents your needs, and find out what their needs are. then, you can think of a way to make all of you happy. he gives you some ideas:(1) 39 you could talk about your school life and your plans for the future.(2) keep a diary. this is to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings.(3) show your parents you are growing up. 40 your parents will feel that you are no longer a little child. if you follow these steps, soon you will be able to break down the walls between your parents and yourself.a. make time to talk.b. they seldom talk with each other.c. both parents and children have needs.d. wash your clothes and help clean the house.e. a generation gap has become a serious problem.f. he gives ways to help you understand your parents.g. sometimes you dont think your parents are fair to you.第三部分: 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从a、b、c、d四个选项中选出最佳选项。music to my earsrobby attended his first piano lesson in my class at age of 10. much as he tried, he _ 41 even the basic rhythm. however, he dutifully reviewed the pieces that i required.over the months he tried and tried while i 42 and encouraged him. at the end of each lesson hed always say, my moms going to hear me play some day. 43 it seemed hopeless. i only knew his mother from a 44 as she waited in her aged car to pick him up. then one day robby stopped coming. i was secretly 45 that he stopped because of his lack of ability. weeks later i informed the students, including robby, of the coming recital（独奏）. to my 46 , robby asked me if he could be included. i told him he really did not qualify because he had 47 out. he said his mom had been sick and unable to take him to lessons but he was still 48 . “ive just got to play! he 49 . something inside me let me allow him to. then came the recital night. the gym was 50 with parents. i put robby up 51 , thinking that i could save his poor performance through my “curtain closer（谢幕）.”the recital went off smoothly. then robby came up on stage. his clothes were wrinkled and his hair was 52 why didnt his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?
