1.Police in the popular resort city Virginia Beach recently began operating video surveillance cameras with controversial face recognition technology. Virginia Beach and Tampa in Florida two cities in the United States acquired the technology, which cost them $ 197, 000.” “Before we switched it on, we went through an extensive public education process with hearings and the involvement of citizen groups and minority groups, who helped write the policies we are using, " said deputy police chief Greg Mullen. A citizens' auditing committee has the right to perform. unannounced spot checks on police headquarters to make sure the technology is not being misused.Three of the city's 13 cameras are linked full time to the face recognition system, though the others can be activited as needed. The database of wanted people is updated every day. So far, the system has failed to produce a single arrest, though it has generated a few false alarms. It works by analyzing faces based on a series of measurements, such as the distance from the tip of the nose to the chin or the space between the eyes. Critics say it is highly inaccurate and can be easily fooled. Mullen, who sees the system eventually being linked to the databases of other city, state and federal law enforcement agencies to track criticals and suspected terrorists, said, "The system doesn't look at skin color or your hair or your gender. It takes human prejudices out of the equation. ""This technology has little or no effect on the crime rate but it does have an effect on people's behavior. People feel cowed, " said Bruce Steinhardt, who directs the technology. Despite the fact that tests have shown faces recognition only works in around 30% cases, the ACLU is alarmed that the technology may soon spread to airports. The organization also fears it could potentially be used to monitor individual's political activities to harass law-abiding citizens." This kind of surveillance should be subject to the same procedures as wiretaps. Law enforcement agencies should justify why they need it and it should be tightly limited, otherwise it will soon become a tool of social control, " said Mihir Kshisagar of the Electronic Information Privacy Center. Nor does such criticism come exclusively from the political left. Lawyer John Whitehead, founder of the conservative Rutherford Institute, wrote in an editorial that the technology threatened the right of each U. S. citizen to participate in society. "After all, that is exactly what constant surveillance is—the ultimate implied threat of coercion, " he wrote.What does Mullen's statement in Paragraph 1 indicate?A.Police is confident in using the technology.B.Police has made preparation for the use of the technology.C.Citizens have rights over managing the technology.D.Police has gone through public education process.

    Passage One

    One of the well-known of American writers is Samuel Clemens, whose pen name is Mark Twain. Bom in 1835, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. As did many other boys of his day,

    Twain dreamed of traveling on river boats and of someday becoming a riverboat pilot. Twain used his memories of the life of a river town in his two most famous books, Huckleberry Finn and Torn Sawyer.

    As a young man, Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a good miner, and, for a time, he was a riverboat pilot. During his pilot days, he adopted the name Mark Twain. This was a term used by the boatmen to mean that the water measured two fathoms, or twelve feet, which was deep enough for safe passage.

    Finally Twain became a successful writer. He traveled a great deal, writing and speaking, and became very popular both in the United States and in Europe.

    Twain's style. of writing was simple and direct. Among the things he wrote about were superstitious (迷信的) people and people who were easily fooled. He used his unusual gift for humor to write about many things of importance.

    36. Generally speaking, this article is about______.

    A. a riverboat pilot

    B. a printer

    C. a gold miner

    D. a famous writer

    Hurricane
    1 A hurricane(飓风)is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour. Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral(螺旋)around a relative calm center know as the“eye”.The“eye” is generally 20 to 30 miles wide,and the storm may ex- tend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land,it can bring heavy rains,high winds,and storms(风暴潮).The storm surges and heavy rains can lead to flooding.
    2 Hurricanes are given a different label,depending on where they occur. If they begin over the North Atlantic Ocean,the Caribbean Sea,the Gulf of Mexico,or the Northeast Pa-cific Ocean,they are called hurricanes.Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line are called typhoon. Near Australia and in the India Ocean, they are referred to as tropical cyclones(龙卷风).
    3 When a hurricane hits land,it can do great damage through its fierce winds,heavy rains , inland(内陆的)flooding, and huge waves crashing onto the shore. During a hurri-cane,homes,businesses,and public buildings may be damaged or destroyed;road and bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning.
    4 If a hurricane is coming in your area,the most important thing is to stay calm and find shelter immediately. Go to your safe room. If you do not have one,stay indoors during the hurricane and go to a safer place near the center of your home. Cover yourself with a blanket and be sure to keep away from windows and glass doors,because if the glass breaks it's real-ly dangerous. Do not be fooled if there is a lull(暂停);it could be the eye of the storm-winds will pick up again.

    During a hurricane one should stay away from________.
    A: inland flooding
    B: natural disaster
    C: early warning
    D: windows and glass doors
    E: a constant speed
    F: different labels

    答案:D
    解析:
    段首句是典型定义句,该句可能就是该段主题句。该句意为“飓风是一种热带风暴,飓风的持续速度能达到74英里/小时”,显然该定义句在对飓风进行解释,C项“什么是飓风”正好与之呼应,因此答案很可能是C。从该段的主要内容来看,整个段落主要对飓风进行了介绍,内容涉及到风速,飓风刮风的方式,风眼以及飓风所带来的影响,由此可以进一步确认该段的主题是对飓风进行介绍。所以答案为C。
    段首句不是定义句,也不是观点句,因此该句成为段落主题句的可能性较小。因为段落开头的句子即使不是主题句也往往起着引题的作用,所以段落开头的句子建议考生仔细阅读。段首句意为“根据发生的地点不同,飓风被贴上了不同的标签”。该段没有明显的段落主题词,因此跳看段落中的句子以较快的速度把握段落大意。段落中出现了这样一些彼此呼应的结构:they are called hurricanes(它们被称为飓风), are called typhoon(被称为台风),are referred to as tropical cyclones(被称为龙卷风)。显然这些彼此呼应的结构都与段首出现的“飓风被贴上了不同的标签”,指飓风有不同的名字,这正好与B项“飓风都有哪些不同的名字”呼应,因此答案为B。
    段落中两次出现了damage“破坏”一词(提示:在段落中反复出现,但并非贯穿整个段落而出现的词可能是段落主题词,也可能不是),该词还在段首句中出现了,因此首先关注段首句。该句意为“当飓风抵达陆地时,它可能带来狂风,暴雨,内陆洪水和冲上海岸的巨浪而造成很大的破坏”。该句是观点句,因此可能是该段主题句。跳读整个段落,很容易在段落中发现这样的字眼:damage“破坏”, destroy property“破坏财产(即造成财产损失)”,kill people“夺取人们的生命”, fishermen at risk“渔民处于危险之中”,这些词语都与段首句中提出的“飓风造成的破坏”呼应,因此该题答案为D项“飓风会造成什么样的破坏”。提示:在需要通过阅读段落而把握段落大意的情况下,跳读段落是一个快速识别段落大意的有效方法。跳读不是阅读句子,而是关注段落中词语出现的情况,往往段落中彼此呼应的词语也能烘托出段落的主题思想。
    段首句是观点句,该句就是段落主题句。该句意为“如果飓风来到你所在的地区,最重要的事情是保持冷静并且立刻找到躲避处”。依据该句意思来看,该句主要在说明当飓风发生的时候应该怎么做。这与A项“飓风发生的时候你应该怎样做?”意义一致,因此答案为A。
    题干意为“根据发生地的不同,飓风有……”。与题干相关的句子在解答前面问题时阅读过,相关句Hurricanes are given a different label, depending on where they occur(随着发生地的不同,飓风被贴上了不同的标签)。由此可知F项“不同的标签”是答案。
    题干意为“猛烈的飓风可能变成最具破坏性的……”,利用题干中出现的信 息短语powerful hurricane"猛烈的飓风”作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的修饰词most de- structive“最具破坏力的”在短文中出现的情况:When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its fierce winds,heavy rains,inland flooding,and huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane,homes,businesses,and public buildings may be damaged or destroyed;road and bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more peo-ple and destroy more property than any other natural disaster.Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurticane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning.相关句(第三段第三句)意为“与其他任何一种自然灾害相比,猛烈的飓风会夺去更多人的生命,会毁掉更多的财产”。由此可知飓风可能会成为最具有破坏力的自然灾害,因此答案为B项“自然灾害”。
    题干意为“当飓风到来的时候,渔民如果正在海上而且还没有得到……,那么他们就会处于很危险的境况中”。利用题干中出现的信息词/短语fishermen , great danger, sea作为定位线索,在第三段中找到相关句:When a hurricane hits land, it can do great dam- age through its fierce winds,heavy rains,inland flooding,and huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane,homes,businesses,and public buildings may be damaged or de- stroyed;road and bridges can be washed away. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster.Fishermen are at special risk(与great danger呼应)from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning. 相关句(该段最后一句)意为 “当飓风到来时,如果渔民没有收到飓风警报,没有能够到达安全的港口,那么他们就可能处于很危险的境况之中”。由此可知C项“提前的警报”是答案。
    题干意为“在飓风发生期间,人们应该远离……”。题干中虽然有细节信息词hurricane“飓风”出现,但因为该词是短文主题词,因此不选用该词作为定位线索。这样一来题干中就没有定位线索词了,在这样的情况下,关注题干中的谓语部分核心动词短语stay away from“远离”在短文中的出现情况:If a hurricane is coming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm and find shelter immediately. Go to your safe room. If you do not have one,stay indoors during the hurricane and go to a safer place near the center of your home. Cover yourself with a blanket and be sure to keep away from(与stay away from意义相近)windows and glass doors, because if the glass breaks it's really dangerous. Do not be fooled if there is a lull(暂停);it could be the eye of the storm-winds will pick up again.相关句(第四段倒数第二句)提到“裹上毯子,而且确保远离窗户和玻璃门”,由此判断D项“窗户和玻璃门”是答案。

    问答题
    Practice 5  Many companies get into exporting almost by happenstance: most export sales are simply a spin-off from domestic contracts.  Similarly, most agent and distributor relationships are born from random inquiries or chance meetings at trade shows. When asked-how they obtained their international representation, many companies have no recollection whatsoever of how or why the relationship began. Strange as it may seem, the same is true of joint venture relationships.  With the growing use of the Internet, one could be fooled into thinking the odds of success in finding that elusive, top-performing trade partner will be increased. The key is to remember at all times that promotional materials are not stand-alone, clean “information”. The Internet can be used to provide indicators of activity and reach; however, these benefits in no way eliminate the more conventional, strategic wisdom that highly successful international sales organizations, in one way or another, employ.  Surprisingly, this hit-and-miss approach to international expansion is not exclusive to small-and medium-sized companies. Many well-recognized large companies spin the same wheel of chance.  Experienced international executives and substantial budgets for foreign expansion will contribute to success, given the right opportunities. The problem is that the “right opportunities” are rarely “given.”

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    许多公司开展出口业务几乎纯属偶然:大部分出口销售业务只是从国内业务中剥离出去的一小部分。类似的情况是,大多数公司与代理商和分销商的关系也来源于随机的查询或是贸易展会上的偶然相遇。当被问及如何获得国际代理时,许多公司竟然回忆不出其代理关系的来龙去脉。这似乎有些奇怪,可实际情况是,就连桌些合资伙伴关系的建立也是如此。
    随着国际互联网的不断普及,人们可能会产生错觉,误认为寻找那些难以寻觅的最佳贸易伙伴的几率将会增加。可关键的一点是,人们必须随时记住,那些公司宣传材料不可能是只为你寻找合作伙伴而准备的专项“信息”。国际互联网可以提供一些有关公司经营范围及联系方式的线索,但互联网带来的这些好处都无法代替人们的传统智慧和战略思维,一些在国际销售方面业绩非凡的企业就是以此走向成功的。
    令人惊讶的是,这种盲目出击开拓国际市场的做法不仅存在于中小型企业,就连许多知名大公司的做法也如出一辙,仅仅依赖运气。国际大公司有着经验丰富的业务主管,在开拓海外市场方面资金预算雄厚,如果加上适当的机会,可能会取得成功。但问题是,“适当的机会”很少“从天而降”。

  • 第6题:

    Passage 2 A great deal of attention is being paid today to the socalled digital divide — the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic.

    There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access — after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we've ever had.

    Of course, the ue of the Internet isn't the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to getover their outdated anticolonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industrials infrastructure, it didn't have the capital to do so. And that is why America's Second Wave infrastructure — including roads, barbors, highways, prots and so on — were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain's former colony. They financed them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off you're going to be. That doesn't mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But it does means recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

    第55题:Digital divide is something _______ .

    A getting worse because of the Internet

    B the rich countries are responsible for

    C the world must guard against

    D considered positive today


    正确答案:C
    选[C]。本题不是要对digital divide 下定义,而是作出评价。文章第一段中的"Mywife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago"对digital divide做了评价,关键词是looming danger(隐约出现的危险),表明digital divide是有危险的,因此全世界需要防范。

    Passage 1
    Plants and animals that have been studied carefully seem to have built-in clocks. These biological clocks, as they are called, usually are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well because they are "reset" each day, when the sun comes up.
    Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find directions from the sun? We can keep pigeons in a room lit only by lamps. And we can program the lighting to produce artificial "days",different from the day outside. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of thegn start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.
    It is known and experimented that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. But what happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? Then the pigeons still find their way home. The salne experiment has been repeated many times on sunny days and the result was always the same. But on very overcast days clock-shifted pigeons are just as good as normal pigeons in starting out in the right directions. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction to use when they cannot see the sun.
    Naturally, people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compass—something that would tell them about the directions of the earth's magnetic field. One way to test that idea would be to see if a pigeon's sense of direction can be fooled by a magnet attached to its back.
    With a strong magnet close by, a compass can no longer tell direction.
    To test the idea, a group of ten pigeons had strong little magnet bars attached to their backs.
    Another group carried brass bars instead which were not magnetic. In a number of experiments,both groups were taken away from home and let go. On sunny days none of the magnet-pigeons was fooled. They were just as good as the brass-pigeons in starting out in the right direction toward home. On cloudy, overcast days, however, with no sun the brass-pigeons chose the right direction,but the magnet-pigeons were in trouble. They later started out in different directions and acted completely lost.

    Which is true about pigeons' finding directions?

    A.With a brass on back they can find directions sooner.
    B.They can find directions better than other birds.
    C.They use the earth's magnetic field and the sun to find directions.
