I was desperate then and even thought of killing myself. During that time, however, I met Ms. Yatani, a Japanese specialist, who was carrying out a teaching task there. She encouraged me and gave me an English copy of JONI before she returned to Japan.The book is the autobiography（自传） of Ms. Joni Earckson. Her experience was similar to mine. She injured her neck and became disabled in a diving accident in 1967. With a strong will, she tried very hard. Finally, she became a famous artist. From her story I found enlightenment(启迪) and felt hopeful.My doctor, Dr. Guan, saw me reading the book. He suggested that I translate it into Chinese in order to benefit more disabled people in China. I agreed, and in one and a half months the translation was finished. Then I contacted Joni through the Internet for the copyright. It was then that I saw how useful modern information technology can be.Highly developed information technology brings me hope and makes my dreams come true. I am really lucky to live in the Age of Information. I could not imagine what my life would be like without it. It makes my life colorful and more meaningful.

Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers. They find out what plants are used in healing. Then they look at what the plant contains. They find the active ingredient（成分）, which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal. Many of the drugs we use, including aspirin, have come from these natural medicines.In recent years, many people in the US have taking what are legally known as dietary supplements(补药). They may be vitamins or minerals. They may be herbs that help with health problems, such as depression. Some of them are teas. Others are capsules or tablets. They are sold in natural food stores, drug stores, and groceries. Most people think that because these products are natural they are also safe. This is not always true. There are many plants that are poisonous. There are others that have bad side effects.The New England Journal of Medicine publishes medical research. A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements. Several doctors wrote to the Journal and told of bad experiences people have had with dietary supplements.Dietary supplements arent tested in the same way as drugs. There is not always proof that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do. There is also a problem with purity of the supplements. Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for the body. For example, the California Department of Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China, one third contained heavy metals. These are minerals such as lead and mercury(水银). They are very poisonous, even in tiny amounts.46. The scientists study the cures from the healers in order to _. A. find out if the plant is poisonous B. find out what in the plant works to cure disease C. look for aspirin in the plantD. make sure that the plant can cure disease47. We can infer from the second paragraph that _. A. it is legal to take dietary supplement in the USA B. supplements are safe because they are natural medicines. C. all the supplements are poisonous D. none of the supplements has bad side effects48. The underlined word “regulate” in the third paragraph means _. A. punish B. remove C. control D. manage49. The problem with dietary supplement may be in that _. A. the supplements cant be tested like drugs B. the supplements may contain something useless C. the supplements may be polluted seriously D. there is no clear evidence that the supplement does work well50. Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage? A. Scientists think herbs roots can be used to cure disease. B. People believe dietary supplements contain vitamins and minerals. C. It is right that the dietary supplements are always safe. D. Dietary supplements are harmful to your health.DMore and more, the operation of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to change this information for his own purposes can obtain big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.Its easy for computer crimes to go undetected（未被发现的） 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 his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But its 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 have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to prison, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good suggestions and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company managers are afraid of the bad publicity that would result in if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting( 吹嘘) in open court of how he juggled(诈骗) the most confidential records right under the noses of the companys managers, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.51. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today.B. people commit computer crimes at the request of their company.C. computer criminals escape punishment because they cant be detected.D. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions.52. It is implied in the third paragraph that_.A. many more computer crimes go undetected than those which are discovered.B. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem.C. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes.D. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck.53. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to be more careful about their confidential information.54. What may happen to computer 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 to go to jail.55. The passage is mainly about_.A. why computer criminals are not able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspections.C. how computer criminals manage to get good recommendations from their former employersD. why computer crimes cant be removed.第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)下面五位老师打算寻找适合各自学生的度假去处。第56至60题是他们的学生情况介绍。阅读下面六个度假地的简介（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出符合各人需要的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。56.
