Afterward, the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy. The process is simple, not scary.18 .

As one banker said, “Unlike humans，computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions are untouched by human hands “and therefore safe from human temptation.” Clearly, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have noconscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.Computer criminals dont use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witness and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it; it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone elses account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.Some employees use the computers power to get revenge on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather her professional life. She was giventhirty days notice. Inthose thirty days, she erased all the companys computerized records.Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg.” As one official says, “I have a feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is also poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing- the one who really knows how a computer works.”30 . What does the underlined wordmean in Chinesein the first paragraph?A能力.B信心.C可能.D良心31 . Which feature of computers makes computer theft possible?AThey are fast, flexible and accurateBThey usually “feels good”CThey have no conscienceDThey are honest.32 . A certain head teller at a New York City bank was exposed only when_.Ahis name was found in illegal gambling recordsBhe was replacing the missing money from someone elses accountCa customer questioned the balance in his accountDthe police broke up an illegal gambling operation33 .

What conclusion can a reader draw from the passage_.AComputer criminals are minor employeesBOf all crime, computer theft is but the tip of the IcebergCComputer crimes are all so poorly doneDThere is more computer crime out there committed by real expertsDo you have a good sense of direction？If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way during the trip.Suppose you are hiking with your family somewhere in the mountain in Dan Xia Mountain, you need to find the direction of south to find your way back. But none of your family members can read the map and actually knows where the family is. Never mind. The sun is shining and its still morning. If you dont know the exact time，you can still find out where south is, but youll need to be patient.Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.Try to put the stick as vertically (垂直) as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line (铅锤线) with a piece of string (绳子) and weight. You havent got any string? Ok, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.After the stick is put vertically, you can see its shadow on the ground. Mark the end of the shadow.Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.Keep doing this until you have made several marks.The mark nearest the stick will show the shortest shadow when it is midday，because at that time the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.That point is south of where you are.Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should choose for traveling.35 . To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because .Ait is not easy to find a proper stickBit is not easy to put the stick verticallyCit takes hours to make the marksDit takes hours to make a plumb line.36 . The passage would probably be most helpful to .Athose who draw mapsBthose who get lostCthose who make compassesDthose who likes making marks37 .

In which of the following columns（栏目）can you find the article?AFamily LifeBNational GeographyCExperience SharingDScience FictionAlmost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart（推车）. They will, in a lifetime, push the shopping carts many miles, but few will know一or even think to ask一who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging（拖、拉）groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. To create the first shopping cart, Goldman used folding chairs. He took out one basket on the seat, and he raised the chair by putting wheels under tare legs. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldmans first carts were ready for一use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He was eager to see them using his invention. However, Goldman was disappointed- Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they werent using his carts.Dont you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket? one shopper replied.Goldman wasnt beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could, let people have a try. To this end, Goldman hired（雇佣）a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the unreal customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. Not only did more people come一those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Todays shopping carts are five times larger than Goldmans original model. Perhaps thats one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937一before the coming of the shopping cart.40 . Who invented the shopping carts?ASome shoppers.BA supermarket assistant.CThe unreal customers.DAn American supermarket owner.41 . Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?ABecause he wanted to sell more shopping carts.BBecause he needed more customers to buy groceries.CBecause he wanted customers to use the shopping carts.DBecause he hoped to help shoppers carry their groceries.42 . The right order of the following is _.a. Many shoppers began to use the shopping carts.b. Goldman invented the shopping carts. c. Goldman asked some people to pretend they were shopping.d. Few shoppers would like to use the shopping carts.Ab-d-c-aBb-a-d-cCa-d-c-bDa-b-d=c43 . Whats the best title of this passage?AHow to Cheat CustomersBGoldman and His Shopping CartsCHow to Use the Shopping CartsDThe Purpose of Goldmans InventionMany people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?Like humans, every dolphin has its own name. The name is a special whistle (哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific (特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They talk to each other about a lot of things-such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one speaks dolphin yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun-just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them they get to eat some of the fish that escape (逃脱) from the net.44 . What is a dolphins “name”?AIt is a kind of game.BIt is a body sign.CIt is a dolphins age.DIt is a specific sound.45 . What does the underlined word others refer to?AOther fishes.BOther peopleCOther dolphinsDOther games46 . What can we infer from the passage?ASome scientists can understand dolphins system of sounds.BDolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.CHumans join dolphins groups to get things we want. DDolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.47 . Whats the main idea of the passage?ADolphins can communicate with each other at birth.BDolphins are social animals because they play togethe
