Moreover, imagination, intelligence, and persistence can equally important to success. (28)_ success is measured by the extent to which one reaches important personal goals. And it takes careful planning to set goals and discover the best means of realizing them. Before hard work even begins, therefore, (29) _ time and effort should be spent on planning.

Together, imagination and intelligence can even help one avoid certain kinds of hard work, by producing more (32) _ ways to accomplish goals. Finally, persistence is (33) _ to success. Sometimes rewards do not come quickly-even when one has carefully set goals, (34) _ planned ways to achieve them, and worked hard according to plan. Tradition has it, for example, that Thomas Edison made thousands of attempts to create a lightbulb before he was finally successful. In the face countless failures, he refused to quit. In fact, he considered each failure a successful discovery of what not to dot In conclusion, it is true that there is no substitute for hard work. But hard work is an ingredient of success, and not the key. Hard work can produce real accomplishment only if it is directed by a plan (35) some idea of ones goals and the means to them.

They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings，bark 36_，fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all 37 problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the 38_setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train(驯服)it. Obedience training doesnt solve all behavior problems, but it is the 39 for solving just about any problem.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Computer CrimeA) A computer crime is generally defined as one that involves the use of computers and software for illegal purposes. This doesnt mean that all the crimes are new types of crime. On the contrary, many of these crimes, such as embezzlement of funds, the alteration of records, theft, vandalism, sabotage, and terrorism, can be committed without a computer. But with a computer, these offenses can be carried out more quickly and with less chance that the person responsible for the crime will be discovered.B) Computer crimes are on the rise and have been for the last twelve years. Just how much these computer crimes cost the American public is in dispute, but estimates range from $3 billion to $5 billion annually. Even the FBI ,which attempts to keep track of the growth or decline of all kinds of crimes, is unable to say precisely how Large a loss is involved; however, it estimates that the average take from a company hit by computer crime is $600,000. A number of reasons are given for the increase in computer crime:(a) more computers in use and, thus, more people who are familiar with basic computer operation;(b)more computers tied together in satellite and other data-transmission networks; and(c) the easy access of microcomputers to huge mainframe data bases.The CriminalC) Movies and newspaper stories might lead us to believe that most computer crimes are committed by teenage hackers”-brilliant and basically good children who let their imagination and technical genius get them into trouble. But a realistic look at the crimes reveals that the offender is likely to be an employee of the firm against which the crime has been committed, i. E., an “insider”. Difficulty of Detection and PreventionD) Given the kind of person who commits a computer crime and the environment in which the crime occurs, it is often difficult to detect who the criminal is. First of all, the crime may be so complex that months or years go by before anyone discovers it. Second, once the criminal has been revealed, it is not easy to find a clear trail of evidence that leads back to the guilty party. After all，looking for weapons or fingerprints does not occur as it might in the investigation of more conventional crimes. Third, there are usually no witnesses to the computer crime, even though it may be taking place in a room filled with people. Who is to say if the person at the next terminal, calmly keying in data, is doing the companys work or committing a criminal act? Fourth, not enough people in management and law enforcement know enough about computer technology to prevent the crimes. Authorities have to be familiar with the computers capabilities within a given situation to guard against misuses. In some large cities, such as Los Angles, police departments have set up specially trained units.E) But even when an offender is caught, the investigators，attorneys(律师)，judges，or juries may find the alleged crime too complicated and perplexing to handle. More attorneys are specializing in computer law and studying the computers potential for misuse.F) After a computer crime has been discovered, many companies do not report it or prosecute(起诉)the person responsible. A company may not announce the crime out of fear that the pubic will find out the weaknesses of its computer system and lose confidence in its organization. Banks, credit card companies, and investment firms are especially sensitive about revealing their vulnerabilities(脆弱性)because they rely heavily on customer trust.G) To avoid public attention，cautious companies will often settle cases of computer tampering out of court. And if cases do go to trial and the offenders are convicted, they may be punished only by a fine or light sentence because the judge or jury isnt fully trained to understand the nature and seriousness of the crime.H) Not all companies are timid in apprehending computer criminals. For example, Connecticut General Life Insurance Company decided it had to get tough on violators. So when the company discovered that one of its computer technicians had embezzled $200,000 by entering false benefit claims, it presented its findings to the states attorney and aided in the prosecution of the technician. The technician was found guilty and sentenced to prison，not just for the computer misuse, but also for grand theft and insurance fraud. Connecticut General now has a policy of reporting all incidents of theft or fraud, no matter how small.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。46.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，R, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single Line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. However important we regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of the parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and obstruct curricular objectives. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents acquainted with the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics.Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as ways of reporting pupils p
