29、Section Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Help, Ive fallen into a sea of personal identification numbers (PIN)and I cant get out. Its my third call in as many weeks and I recognize Beths voice immediately. Im hoping she doesnt recognize mine, but its obvious by
30、her sudden shift from warm to frosty that she does. “You probably know why Ive called,“ I say. “I can guess,“ Beth responds flatly, having dealt with my type dozens of times already today. “Password problem?“ She was right, I had for gotten it again. Like millions of others, Im stuck in password hel
31、l. With computer key chains, bank card PINs, voice-mail codes, and home alarm systems, things have spun out of control. I have 32 secret codes(that I can think of). Experts warn that the best way to protect against identity theft is to never reuse or write down your passwords and always be casual in
32、 your selectionsdont use pet names, or especially the names of ex-girlfriends. And its recommended to change passwords often. But come on. Making it impossible for others to access your life only makes living your life impossible. Surveys indicate that most people use the same one or two passwords f
33、or everything. After all, its not easy to pro duce something casual, yet memorable. “When the information doesn t apply to anything in the re al world, its very hard to get from the brain,“ says Albert Katz, a psychology professor. Thats why some are shifting to picture passwords. Since the pictures
34、 cant be written down or shared with another person, theyre more secure. And pictures, says Katz, are easier for the human brain to remember than numbers and letters. Better still is the day when access to everything will be just a fingerprint. But poor Beth will remain my Internet-banking savior. “
35、All you need to do,“ says Beth, “is tell me the secret pass word you set up for security purposes. “ What? If I cant remember my PIN, how do you expect me to remember some secret word? But on my third try I guess it and am once again allowed access to my very small fortune. I thank Beth, but dont ma
36、ke any promises. Both of us know well speak again soon.（分数：10.00）(1).From the text we learn that the writer_. A. has a declining memory B. has too many secret codes C. has trouble dealing with Beth D. has problems with his bank accounts（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the text, Beth replied to the

A.
39、 Critical. B. Scornful. C. Humorous. D. Matter-of-fact.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Television has opened windows to everybody. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of
40、war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most remote can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, he is more likely to vote,
41、and so to make his opinion count.Unfortunately, televisions influence has been greatly harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want t
42、o practise what they see. They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations“ are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are more impatient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, t
43、hey do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, to read a book that requires thinking, to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens pro- grams.

TV has a deep influence on the young（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Disposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in citie
48、s, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the
49、 site. Periodically (定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modem society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called
