There is
17、 the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaways Cottage, Shakespeares birthplace and other
18、 sights.The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSCs actors, with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. Its all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor
19、 (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side -dont usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, t
20、he playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their play going. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the towns revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything
21、and get out of town by nightfall.The townsfolk dont see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is buildin
22、g its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.Anyway, the townsfolk cant understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance
23、 records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 per cent occupied all year long and this year theyll do better.) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the youn
24、g people who are Stratfords most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jean sand sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside t
25、he theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.（分数：5.00）(1).From the first two paragraphs, we learn that_.A. the townsfolk deny the RSC s contribution to the towns revenueB. the actors of the RSC imitate Shake
26、speare on and off stageC. the two branches of the RSC are not on good termsD. the townsfolk earn little from tourism（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that_.A. the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separatelyB. the playgoers spend more money than the sightseersC
27、. the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoersD. the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally“ (Lines 2-3, Paragraph 4), the author implies that_.A. Stratford cannot afford the expansion projectsB. Stratford has
28、long been in financial difficultiesC. the town is not really short of moneyD. the townsfolk used to be poorly paid（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because_.A. ticket prices can be raised to cover the spendingB. the company is financially ill-managedC. the
29、behavior of the actors is not socially acceptableD. the theatre attendance is on the rise（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).From the text we can conclude that the author_.A. is supportive of both sidesB. favors the townsfolks viewC. takes a detached attitudeD. is sympathetic to the RSC（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题
30、数：1，分数：4.00)New and bizarre crimes have come into being with the advent of computer technology. Organized crime has been directly involved; the new technology offers it unlimited opportunities, such as data crimes, theft of services, property-related crimes, industrial sabotage, politically related
31、sabotage, vandalism, crimes against the individual and financially related crimes.Theft of data, or data crime, has attracted the interest of organized criminal syndicates. This is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer program. An international market already exists for computerized data
32、, and specialized fences are said to be playing a key role in this rapidly expanding criminal market. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firms competitors to foreign nations.A competitor sabotages a companys computer system to destroy or cripple the firms operational ability, thus neutraliz
33、ing its competitive capability either in the private or the government sector. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm. With the growing reliance by firms on computers for their recordkeeping and daily operations, sabotage of their compu
34、ters can result in internal havoc, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily buy it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime.Politically motivated sabotage
35、 is on the increase; political extremist groups have sprouted on every continent. Sophisticated computer technology arms these groups with awesome powers and opens technologically advanced nations to their attack. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer facility at an air force b
36、ase. A university computer facility involved in national defence work suffered more than $2 million in damages as a result of a bombing.Computer vulnerability has been amply documented. One congressional study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems are adequately protected ag
37、ainst sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments in narcotics. Criminal groups have taken attempts in assassinating political lead
38、ers. Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily turn these computers into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they had used a gun. By manipula
39、ting a computer, they could guide awesome tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages. Homicide could take a now form. The computer may become the hit man of the twentieth century.The computer opens vast areas of crime to organized criminal groups, both nati
40、onal and international. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiring a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer technology, law enforcement
41、has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology.（分数：4.00）(1).How many kinds of crimes are mentioned in the passage?A. 7. B. 8. C. 9. D. 10.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What is the purpose of a competitor to sabotage a companys computer?A. His purpose is to destroy or weaken the firms operation
42、al ability.B. His purpose is to weaken the firms competitive capability and get it.C. His purpose is to buy the rivals company at a relatively low price.D. His purpose is to steal important data.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following can be labeled as a politically motivated sabotage of a compu
43、ter system?A. Sabotage of a university computer.B. Sabotage of a hospital computer.C. Sabotage of computer at a secret training base.D. Sabotage of a factory computer.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What does the author mean by “Homicide could take a new form“?A. There is no need using a gun in killing a perso
44、n.B. Criminals can kill whoever they want by a computer.C. The computer can replace any weapons.D. The function of a computer is just like a gun.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.八、TEXT C(总题数：1，分数：6.00)He was an old man with a white beard and huge nose and hands. Long before the time during which we will know him, h
45、e was a doctor and drove a jaded white horse from house to house through the streets of Winesburg. Later he married a girl who had money. She had been left a large fertile farm when her father died. The girl was quiet, tall, and dark, and to many people she seemed very beautiful. Everyone in Winesbu
46、rg wondered why she married the doctor. Within a year after the marriage she died.The knuckles of the doctors hands were extraordinarily large. When the hands were closed they looked like clusters of unpainted wooden balls as large as walnuts fastened together by steel rods.He smoked a cob pipe and
47、after his wifes death sat all day in his empty office close by a window that was covered with cobwebs. He never opened the window. Once on a hot day in August he tried but found it stuck fast and after that he forgot all about it.Winesburg had forgotten the old man, but in Doctor Reefy there were th
48、e seeds of something very fine. Alone in his musty office in the Heffner Block above the Paris Dry Goods Companys store, he worked ceaselessly, building up something that he himself destroyed. Little pyramids of truth he erected and after erecting knocked them down again that he might have the truths to erect other pyramids.Doctor Reefy was a tall man who had worn one suit of clothes for ten years. It was frayed at the sleeves and little holes had appeared at the knees and elbows. In the office he wore also a linen duster with huge pockets into which he continually stuffed scraps of
