In reality, common sense and a
24、 few basic tips can keep Internet surfers secure. Anti-virus software is a must, and it should be updated at least once a week to recognize newly viruses. If this is not done, you will meet great troubles. People with broadband Internet connections should have also a firewall. These protect the comp
25、uter from attacks by hackers(黑客 ). Then it is time to think about computer habits. Unlike old viruses, which spread only through shared disks, the Internet brings viruses straight to the e-mail box. ff an e-mail with attachment(附件 ) comes from an unknown sender, or unexpectedly from a known sender,
26、it should not be opened. On receiving an unexpected attachment from a friend, experts suggest a telephone call to make sure of the mails source before opening. If you open the mail without any consideration, you will be easily attacked by the hackers. 55 Why should anti-virus software be updated at
27、least once a week? （ A） Because the newly published anti-virus software is more expensive. （ B） Because the previous(先前的 ) anti-virus software cannot work any longer. （ C） Because the inventors of viruses have suggested this idea. （ D） Because computer viruses are always developing. 56 Which of the
28、following is suggested by computer experts? （ A） Dont rush to open any e-mail attachment. （ B） Never open any e-mail attachment. （ C） Its always safe to open an e-mail attachment from a friend. （ D） Whenever you receive an e-mail, you should make a call to make sure whom it comes from. 57 Which of t
29、he following is NOT right according to the passage? （ A） Something can be done to keep our computers safe. （ B） Even an e-mail attachment coming from a friend may not be safe to open. （ C） We should not use our computers to defend ourselves from viruses. （ D） Anti-virus software made some years ago
30、is hard to protect todays computers. 58 In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (慧星 ). When the fragments (碎片 ) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own plane
31、t was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth s atmo
32、sphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rashes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Citie
33、s On the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north wont escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmospher
34、e by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are mined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has
35、already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙 )were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldnt survive in the cold climate that
36、 followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end? 58 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the authors description of the disaster in 2094? （ A） The whole world becomes extremely cold. （ B） All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed. （ C） The whole mankind becomes extinct.
37、（ D） The visit of the comet results in wars. 59 Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? （ A） Because they could only live in the warm climate. （ B） Because they once dominated the earth. （ C） Because their extinction indicates future disasters. （ D） Because dinosaurs and hum
38、ans never live in the same age. 60 In writing the passage, the author intends to_. （ A） give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future （ B） prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed （ C） tell the historical development of the Earth （ D） warn of a possible disaster in t
39、he future 61 It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n)_. （ A） horror story （ B） news report （ C） research paper （ D） article of popular science 62 It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many differ
40、ent things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There
41、was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was jus
42、t writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the dif
43、ference was now returned to the taxpayer. 62 It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to_. （ A） how much education one has received （ B） whether one is single or married （ C） how old ones children are （ D） where one lives 63 The word “proper“ in the first line of the second p
44、aragraph means_. （ A） small （ B） big （ C） right （ D） wrong 64 After a lot of work, the artist thought that he had paid the government_. （ A） less tax than he should have （ B） more tax than he should have （ C） as much tax as usual （ D） just enough tax 65 Why did the tax-collector send a letter to the
45、 artist? （ A） To send him a new tax form. （ B） To return the money over-paid. （ C） To remind him of paying the tax. （ D） To explain the rules of tax-paying. 66 It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness(近视 ). As more children have got eye trouble, their p
46、arents hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to ones eyes should start with the exercise on one s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows: Firstly, dont fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing l
47、oose socks or walking barefooted at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation (循环 ) easier. Secondly, walking on tiptoes will help improve ones eyesight, and prevent nearsightedness. Figures show that few ballet (芭蕾舞 ) performers are nearsighted. Thirdly, rope ski
48、pping also does good to ones eyesight. When skipping the rope, one has to react quickly, which excites the brain as well as the eyes. It will also help make one grow taller. Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull ones ears. Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the
49、pressure on ones eyes soon. 66 To cure nearsightedness, people dont usually_. （ A） depend on medicine （ B） use equipment （ C） think of foot exercises （ D） pay attention to correcting the way children read and sit 67 What is the main point the writer is trying to make about the first method? （ A） One should let ones feet be free. （ B） One should protect ones feet to protect ones eyes. （ C） One should protect ones e
