In a typical country, most medicines are available only with a doctors (21) and certain drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, and heroin, are illegal under all circumstances. Such re

17、strictions reflect the belief that increased drug use, even if it were legal, would lead to increases in crime, (22) , and other social ills. One nation that goes against this trend is the Netherlands, where the open use of “soft“ drugs is tolerated. The Dutch have a strong tradition of personal lib

18、erty. The individuals freedom of choice is highly valued. Most people in the Netherlands believe the government should stay out of personal decisions, including the decision whether to use drugs. The Dutch government does not stay totally out of such decision, but it does take a much more (23) than

19、almost any other state. Since 1976, the law in the Netherlands has (24) soft drugs and hard drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamines.

20、dam alone (25) sell soft drugs. There are limits, however. No more than five grams of a controlled drug may be sold in a (26) and the buyer must be at least 18 years old. The coffee shop may not advertise the marijuana it sells. No person may grow more than five marijuana plants. All hard drugs are

21、banned. Arguments in favour of legalised marijuana are many. (27) say marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol which is legal in most nations. They also point out the (28) medical reasons for drug use: to alleviate the discomfort of an eye disease called glaucoma or nausea resulting from chemothe

22、rapy used to treat some cancers. On a very practical level, legalisation activists say that hugely expensive anti-marijuana (29) have never worked. Instead of spending millions of dollars to keep people from using this mild drug, the government should collect taxes on it and (30) gain more control o

34、bout 75-90 centimetres. In the wild, it usually grows in huge clusters, sometimes covering an entire field. Humans have cultivated this flower for thousands of years, b (47) for its beauty and for the powerful chemicals it produces. It is not sur (48) that an ancient human eventually tasted opium, t

35、he dried juice of the poppy. Many people (49) (mistake) believe that the juice comes only from the seedpods, and only at a certain time of year. The juice does not pool up the seedpod just before the seed ripen, but it flows thr (50) the rest of the plant as well. The stem and seed capsules leak thi

36、s milky juice easily if the plant is knocked down or the stem is broken. The dried juice forms a brown crust that is easy to see. Someone searching for food was probably hu (51) enough to risk tasting the dried material. He or she was probably surprised by the result. The first opium-eater has had a

37、 long sleep before being able to tell anyone else about the poppy. Its sci (52) name, papaver somniferum, means “ sleep-bringing poppy “. (53) (sleep) is one of the best-known side-effects of ingesting opium. Ancient Greek art often showed Hypnos, the god of sleep, with poppies in his hands. The sam

38、e images were associated with Somnus, the Roman god of sleep. This (54) (connect) of poppies with sleep carried through to one of the most popular books and movies of 20th-century America. In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, a girl named Dorothy and her friends are trying to find a wizard who can he

39、lp them get the things they need. An ev (55) witch tries to stop them. One of the witchs tricks is to put Dorothy and all her friends to sleepby leading them into a beautiful, dangerous field of bright poppies. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_七、Part Re

40、ading Compr(总题数：4，分数：20.00)Section A Nowadays, most people realise that its risky to use credit card online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and government ID numbers on the Web. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people t

41、o steal ID and credit card numbers from innocent websurfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing“. Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing“, and it implies a thief is trying to lure people into giving away valuable information. How can phishers lure people to do this? Like real fisherm

42、en, they use bait in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use fake emails and false websites to con people into revealing credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phi

43、shers may convince as many as 5 percent of the people they contact to respond and give away their personal financial information. Is this really a big problem? Actually, tricking 5 percent of the online population is huge! Currently, more than 350 million people have access to the Internet, and 75 p

44、ercent of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been estimated that phishers send more than 3 billion scam messages each year. Even by tricking only 5 percent of the people, phishers can make a lot of money. Since there is so much money to make through this kind of s

45、cam, it has caught the interest of more than just small-time crooks. Recently, police tracked down members of an organised phishing group in Eastern Europe who had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from people online. The group created official-looking email messages requesting people to updat

46、e their personal information at an international banks website. However, the link to the bank in the message actually sent people to the phishers fake website. To make matters worse, further investigation revealed that this group had connections with a crime in Russia. How can innocent websurfers pr

47、otect themselves? Above all, they have to learn to recognize email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be wary of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting but fake statements in their emails so that people will reply right

48、away. Also, messages from phishers will not address recipients by name because they really dont know who the recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or other companies you normally deal with typically include your personal name. Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank. Giving personal information over the Internet
