matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall Soon that will change Electronic commerce is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices There will however be a cost protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder Many governments therefore want to apply regulations to the electronic world But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self regulation Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists the on line customer in Tokyo say can hardly go to New York to get a refund for a clothes purchase One answer is for governments to cooperate more to recognize each other s rules But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober 冷静的 countries to accept There is however another choice Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves They do after all have a self interest in doing so In electronic commerce a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset Governments too may compete to be trusted For instance customers ordering medicines on line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration or they may decide that the FDA s rules are too strict and buy from Switzerland instead Customers will still need to use their judgment But precisely because the technology is new electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down In this way at least the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws not more 41 According to the author what will be the best policy for electronic commerce A Strict consumer protection laws B Self regulation by the business C Close international cooperation D Government protection 42 Supposing an online shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country what could he do A Complain about it on the Internet B Go to the seller and ask for a refund C Appeal to consumer protection law D Refuse to 用心 爱心 专心5 pay for the purchase 43 In the author s view businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world A international cooperation would be much more frequent B consumers could easily seek government protection C it would be easy for consumers to complain D a good reputation is a great advantage in competition 44 We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is A generousB arbitraryC cautiousD careless B Among the Boys is a unique after school program for boys living in the Highland Park neighborhood of our city The organizational task is to provide males living in low income and public housing with opportunities to discover their ability to change challenges into possibilities The program includes an academic part as well as specific plans for supporting the overall development of the

young men are learning a healthy way to express and cope with the pain and suffering they feel Art serves as a healing process and a structured method of teaching teamwork nonviolent values conflict handling and problem solving skills Activities in Among the Boys are in agreement with the best practices in the prevention of high risk behavior First community based youth development programs are considered important parts of a comprehensive prevention method particularly in high risk neighborhoods Second compensatory 补偿 education that targets at risk youth for academic failure is also considered an effective prevention method Third interventions 介入 aimed at improving youth s moral reasoning social problem solving and thinking skills are reported to be effective methods for reducing violence in high risk populations especially when carried out with elementary school aged boys Finally Among the Boys has an adapted tutoring part considered an effective prevention tool Tutoring is typically a one to one match between a tutor and a youth but Among the Boys employs what is referred to as group tutoring Among the Boys makes up for its high student tutor ratio 比例 with quality and quantity of time as the program meets after school on Saturdays and all day during the summer and is staffed primarily by males an unusual quality among educational programs 用心 爱心 专心6 Among the Boys is rare and successful form of grassroots program and represents the dream of a successful male who grew up in the Highland Park neighborhood and has returned to make a valuable contribution to his community 45 Which of the following most accurately describes the organization of the second paragraph A A theory is presented and proved with data B A statement is made and supported with reasons C A

Park community school board D was a successful graduate of Among the Boys when he was a youth 49 The attitude of the author of the passage toward Among the Boys is A forgiving B doubtful C praising D ignorant C When people first walked across the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago dogs were by their sides according to a study published in the journal Science Robert Wayne of the University of California Los Angeles and Jennifer Leonard of the Smithsonian Institute used DNA material some of it unearthed by miners in Alaska to conclude that today s domestic dog originated in Asia and accompanied the first humans to the New World about 10 000 to 15 000 years ago Wayne suggests that man s best friend may have enabled the tough journey from Asia into North America Dogs may have been the reason people made it across the land bridge said Wayne They can pull things carry things defend you from fierce animals and they re useful to eat Researchers have agreed that today s dog is the result of the 用心 爱心 专心7 domestication 驯化 of wolves thousands of years ago Before this recent study a common thought about the precise origin of North America s domestic dog was that Natives domesticated local wolves the descendents 后代 of which now live with people in Alaska Canada and the Lower 48 Dog remains from a Fairbanks area gold mine helped the scientists reach their conclusion Leonard an evolutionary biologist collected DNA from 11 bones of ancient dogs that were locked in permafrost 永冻层 until Fairbanks miners uncovered them in the 1920s The miners donated the preserved bones to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City where they remained untouched for more than 70 years After borrowing the bones from the museum Leonard and her colleagues used radiocarbon techniques to find the age of the Alaska dogs They found the dogs all lived between the years of 1450 and 1675 A D before Vitus Bering and Aleksey Chirikov who were the first known Europeans to view Alaska in 1741 The bones of dogs that wandered the Fairbanks area centuries ago should therefore be the remains of pure native American dogs Leonard said The DNA of the Fairbanks dogs would also expose whether they were the descendents of wolves from North America Along with the Fairbanks samples the researchers collected DNA from bones of 37 dog specimens 标本 from Mexico Peru and Bolivia that existed before the arrival of Columbus In the case of both the Alaska dogs and the dogs from Latin America the researchers found that they shared the most genetic material with gray wolves of Europe and Asia This supports the idea of domestic dogs entering the New World with the first human explorers who wandered east over the land bridge Leonard and Wayne s study suggests that dogs joined the first humans that made the adventure across the Bering Land Bridge to slowly populate the Americas Wayne thinks the dogs that made the trip must have provided some excellent service to their human companions or they would not have been brought along Dogs must have been useful because they were expensive to keep Wayne said They didn t feed on mice they fed on meat which was a very guarded resource 50 The underlined word remains is closed in meaning to A leftover food B animal waste C dead bodies D living environment 51 According to the study described in Paragraph 4 we can learn that A ancient dogs entered North America between 1450 and 1675 AD B the 11 bones of ancient dogs are not from Native American dogs C the bones discovered by the gold miners were from North American wolves D the bones studied were not from dogs brought into North America by Europeans 52 What can we know from the passage A Native Americans domesticated local wolves into dogs B Scientists discovered some ancient dog remains in 1920s 用心 爱心 专心8 C Latin America s dogs are different from North America s in genes D Ancient dogs entered North America across the Bering Land Bridge 53 The first humans into the New World brought dogs along with them because A dogs fed on mice B dogs were easy to keep C dogs helped protect their resources D dogs could provide excellent service 54 What does the passage mainly talk about A the origin of the North American dogs B the DNA study of ancient dogs in America C the reasons why early people entered America D the difference between Asian and American dogs D Psychology has a new application in the field of medicine Many doctors together with their patients are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems In large hospitals modern therapy 疗法 seems to focus on the physical disease Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines Some doctors have recognized this as a problem They are now using psychological therapy in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her but instead the patient joins in the fight The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient s body physically The body of the patient changes because of the disease He is not only physically affected but also has an emotional response to the disease Because his mind is affected his attitude and behavior change The medical treatment might cure the patient s physical problems but the patient s mind must fight the emotional ones For example the studies of one doctor Carl Simonton M D have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes She typically feels depressed upset a
