one effect is that peoples access to their e-mail accounts （账户）is cut off. a more serious possible consequence is that billions of dollars could be lost. a virus is a computer program that copies itself onto other programs and infects them. similar to an easily spread disease, a computer virus goes from computer to computer, either adding to or changing the tasks a program is designed to do. the first computer viruses were created in the mid 80s and had varying effects. some caused files to be deleted, or made the letters on the screen appear to fall off. others displayed a specific message once the computer was turned on. viruses today are much more widespread and dangerous than ever before. perhaps the most damaging to date has been the i love you virus. i love you appeared in may 2000 and has possibly been the most destructive virus in terms of monetary loss. the virus is released when an attachment to a fake e-mail message is opened. by changing the names of files on computers, i love you makes them difficult to access. it also searches for important personal information, including passwords, which it sends to a web site for others to see. it is estimated that more than 45 million people in 20 countries have had their computers infected by the i love you virus. some say the cost of repair and lost business has been more than us$10 billion. if you own a computer, it is important to keep it in good health by installing ananti-virus program. if updated frequently, it will protect your e-mail access-not to mention your wallet.21.what does virus mean in the article?a. an easily spread disease. b. a contagious (传染的) computer program.c. an extremely small organism (生物) which causes disease.d. a parasite (寄生虫) in computer.22. how does i love you virus spread? a. it is spread when an e-mail account is opened. b. it is spread through on-line chatting. c. it is spread through e-mail. d. it spreads from web site to web site.23. which of the following is one of the damages brought by i love you virus? a. it deletes files. b. it automatically turns on computers. c. it automatically turns off computers. d. it makes it difficult to access files.24. which of the following is the best way to guard against virus? a. to load an up-to-date anti-virus program into our computer b. not to use an e-mail account. c. to upgrade our computer. d. not to use the internet.25what is the purpose of the article? a. to warn us against virus. b. to remind us the importance of being healthy. c. to stress the importance of computer. d. to alert us to economic loss. ( b )one of the traditions which is now a necessary part of christmas is that of father christmas, or santa claus. according to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before christmas day, leaving presents which they find the next morning. he flies through the night sky in a sledge（雪橇） pulled by reindeer（驯鹿）, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. this strange legend is based on the life of a man called nicholas, but in fact we know very little about him. historians think he was a christian bishop(主教) in turkey in about 285350 a. d. one of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. no one would marry them because they were so poor. to provide them with money for their weddings, nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. after nicholas died, he was made a saint(圣人) by the church. (the name santa claus thus comes from st nicholas.) his feast day was celebrated in december, and parents started giving their children secret presents from st nicholas. over the years, this custom became part of our christmas traditions. recently, a psychologist has claimed that father christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children. according to professor anthony clare, children love the character of father christmas because he is like an ideal father: he loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, is never angry, and children do not even need to thank him for the presents. other writers, however, point out that father christmas can be a frightening character to some children. jane bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. it can certainly confuse many children. as parents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never to let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar. most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that father christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.26. the main point of the first paragraph is that _.a. father christmas is an important part of christmas b. the tradition of father christmas is a modern idea c. father christmas is a magical figure who can fly d. the legends about father christmas are not true27. the writer mentions details such as father christmass sledge, the reindeer and the way he climbs down chimneys because he/she _.a. wants to make it clear that these things are impossible b. is describing the history of st nicholas c. wants everyone to believe that father christmas is reald. is explaining the modern legend of father christmas28. why does the writer mention the story about st nicholas helping three poor girls? a. it shows us that historians know very little about him. b. this story explains why parents give secret presents to children.c. it supports the writers main point that father christmas is based on an untrue story. d. this story explains why we celebrate christmas in december.29. in the last paragraph, the word “benign”means _. a. religiousb. friendlyc. frighteningd. unreal30. the best title for this passage would be _. a. is father christmas dangerous?b. the true history of st nicholas c. the legend of santa claus d. the traditions of christmas ( c)parents should stop blaming themselves because theres a lot they can not do about it. i mean the teenager problem. whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. one strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. i saw him last week when i called round. sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud tv he was watching as i walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. his mother was ashamed. “i dont know what to do with him these days,” she said. “hes forgotten all the manners we taught him.” he hasnt forgotten them. he s just decided that he s not going to use them. she confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “i dont like your dress; its ugly.” one of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. the other has left home.“where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. probably nowhere much. 31. this text is most probably written by _.a. a specialist in teenager studies b. a headmaster of a middle schoolc. a parent with teenage children d. a doctor for mental health problems32. the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to _.a. the change from good to bad that s seen in a childb. the way that parents often blame themselvesc. the opinion that a child has of his parentsd. the advice that parents want their children to follow第2节
