12、 information given in the passage. Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Locked Away ForeverThe Sad Case of Rebecca FalconOne night when she was just 15, Rebecca Falcon got drunk and made the decision that ruined her entire life. Now, she is serving a life sentence without chance

13、 of parole (假释) at the Lowell Correctional Institution in Ocala, Florida. Looking back, Falcon faults her choice of friends.I was like a magnet for the wrong crowd, she says.At the time, Falcon was living with her grandmother in Panama City, Florida. On November 19, 1997, upset over an ex-boyfriend,

14、 she downed a large amount of alcohol and hailed a taxi with an 18-year-old friend. Her friend had a gun and, within minutes, the taxi driver was shot in the head. The driver, Richard Todd Phillips, 25, died several days later. Each of the teenagers later said the other had done the shooting.In Falc

15、ons case, she was found guilty of murder, though it was never known precisely what happened. It broke my heart, says Steven Sharp, one of the people who made the decision to send Falcon to prison. Tough as it is, based on the crime, I think its appropriate. Still, its terrible to put a 15-year-old b

16、ehind bars forever.Falcons case is not so uncommon in the US, but it is rare around the world. About 9,700 American prisoners are serving life sentences for crimes they committed before age 18. More than a fifth have no chance for parole. Life without parole is available for young criminals in about

17、 a dozen countries, but a recent report by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International found only 12 young criminalsin Israel, South Africa, and Tanzaniaserving such sentences. In the U.S., more than 2,200 people are serving life without parole for crimes they committed before turning 18. More than

18、 350 are 15 or younger.Cruel & Unusual?Young criminals are serving life terms (with or without the possibility of parole) in at least 48 states, according to a survey byThe New York Times, and their numbers have increased sharply in the past decade. Of those imprisoned in 2001, 95 percent were male

19、and 55 percent were black.Is such punishment fair for young offenders? In March 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty for crimes committed by people under 18 violates the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. That might have surprised the

20、 people who agreed to the Amendment in 1791, many of whom found such executions neither cruel nor unusual. But the Court said that the meaning of the Amendment changes with evolving standards of decency. Their decision has convinced lawyers and activists that the next legal battleground in the US wi

21、ll be over life sentences for young criminals.Unformed PersonalitiesThe Supreme Court ruled that youths under 18 who commit terrible crimes are less blameworthy than adults, at least for purposes of the death penalty: They are less mature, more willing to give in to peer pressure, and their personal

22、ities are unformed. Even a terrible crime committed by a young person, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy concluded, is not evidence of a hopelessly evil character.Most of those youthful qualities were evident in Falcon, who had trouble fitting in at school. She is in prison for murder, meaning she particip

23、ated in a crime that led to a killing but was not proved to have killed anyone.Jim Appleman, the lawyer that tried to put Falcon in jail, says she does not ever deserve to be free. He is convinced that she shot Phillips. If she were a 29-year-old or a 22-year-old, he says, I have no doubt she would

24、have gotten the death penalty.Although Falcon believes her sentence is unfair, she says her eight years in prison have changed her. A certain amount of time being in jail was what I needed, she says. But the law I fell under is for people who have no hope of being changed for the better, career crim

25、inals who habitually break the law, and theres just no hope for them in society. Im a completely different case.This can be hardThe case of another Florida teenager, Timothy Kane, shows how youths can be sent away for life, even when they were not central figures in a crime. (Florida is among the st

26、ates with the largest number of young offendersabout 600serving life sentences, about 270 without parole.)On Jan. 26, 1992, Kane, then 14, was playing video games at a friends house in Hudson, Florida, while some older boys planned a robbery. That night, five youths rode their bikes over to a neighb

27、ors home. Two backed out, but Kane followed Alvin Morton, 19, and Bobby Garner, 17, into the house. He did not want others to think he was scared, he recalls. This is the decision that shaped my life since, says Kane.He says he thought the house would be empty. But Madeline Weisser, 75, and her son,

28、 John Bowers, 55, were home. While Kane hid behind a dining-room table, Morton shot and killed Bowers. He then stuck a knife in Weissers neck; Garner stepped on the knife, nearly cutting off her head.Morton was sentenced to death. Garner, like Kane, a young offender, was given a life sentence with n

29、o possibility of parole for 50 years. Kane was also sentenced to life, but he may be able to get parole after serving 25 years. He doubts that the parole board will ever let him out.Kane grows emotional when talking about that January night. I witnessed two people die, he says. I regret that every d

30、ay of my life, being any part of that and seeing that. He does not dispute that he deserved punishment but says his sentence is harsh. His days at Sumter Correctional Institution in Bushnell, Florida, are spent in the prison print shop making 55 cents an hour. You have no hope of getting out, Kane s

31、ays. You have no family. You have no moral support here. This can be hard.Will the court do anything to help?In deciding whether evolving standards have turned against a particular punishment, the Supreme Court looks at what the states are doing. Life without parole for young offenders is widely use

32、d, and only three states specifically ban it. If this form of punishment is to be banned by virtue of its violating the Eighth Amendment, it will likely happen only when a majority of the states first get rid of it.Robert W. Attridge, the lawyer in Kanes case, says he feels sorry for him. But he had

33、 options, Attridge says. He had a way out. Two other boys decided to leave.Could Tim Kane be your kid, being in the wrong place at the wrong time? the lawyer asks. I think he could. It only takes one night of bad judgment and, man, your life can be ruined.1.What happened on November 19, 1997?A. Falc

40、(每小题：2 分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new co

41、mputer virus. Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the Code Red bug, according to an official.The virus is known as a denial of servi

42、ce bug, because it replicates (自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other serversthereby multiplying and sometimes crashing a systemand denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site.The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of De

43、fense) web sites and were working to contain that, Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. Ways were going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because thats the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself.The virus exploits a se

44、curity flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it.To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers. to make sure that all the patch

45、es that were previously installed had been installed, says Venable.Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix .mil, appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services main homepages. Public access is b

46、locked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Forces European site. Registered Department of Defense personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said.1.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The C

47、ode Red Worm.B. DoD Blocks Public Web Site Access.C. DoD Was Attacked.D.

Having necessary patches installed.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.For an increasing nu

51、mber of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nations elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By

52、 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses serious questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. In addition to the doctors, we

53、re going to need more sociologists, biologists (生物学家), city planners and specialized lawyers, says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize in elder law, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-h

54、ome abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have
