Now a study suggests that a popular secondary security measure provides little additional protection.The study, produced jointly by researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, looked at a technology called site-authentication images.

But the researchers had secretly withdrawn the images. Of 60 participants who got that far into the study and whose results could be verified, 58 entered passwords [41] _______. Only two chose not to log on, citing security [42] _______."The [43] _______ is that site-authentication images increase security [44] _______ customers will not enter their passwords if they do not see the correct image," said Stuart Schechter, a computer scientist at the M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory. "From the study we learned that the premise is right less than 10 percent [45] _______."He added: "If a bank [46] _______ ask me if they should [47] _______ it, I would say no, wait for something better."The system has some high-power supporters in the financial services world, [48] _______ to comply [49] _______ new online banking regulations.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.TEXT AThe new Chilean President, SebastiánPiñera, has his work cut out for him, and temblors and tsunamis may be just the beginning. In January, a month before the 8.8-magnitude earthquake that shook this South American nation, outgoing president Michelle Bachelet inaugurated the Museum of Memory and Human Rights in Santiago. She dedicated the sleek, glass- and copper-sheathed building to the victims of the dirty war, the thousands of Chileans who were murdered, tortured, or "disappeared" during the 17-year dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. "Only injuries thoroughly cleaned can heal," Bachelet, a physician by training, said at the opening. Visitors to the three-story gallery take in halls of silent horrors – snapshots, letters, even the bones of the dead – and come face to face with a wall of 1,000 photos of those arrested and never seen again. But poking wounds is risky, especially in Latin America, where some of the worst human-rights atrocities are just coming to light. Now Piñera must help Chileans not only get back on their feet but also quiet their ghosts.Chile is not the only country in Latin America seeking to reconcile its past. Peru will name the architect to build its Lugar de la Memória later this year. Plans to open or upgrade human-rights museums are underway in Guatemala, Argentina, and Mexico. At one level, these are monuments to renascent democracy, which was shut down across Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s, with devastating consequences. Some 3,065 people were killed under Pinochet, who ruled from 1973 to 1990. Ten times that many fell to serial juntas in Argentina from 1976 to1983, while 70,000 Peruvians were killed by terrorist groups or state security forces between 1980 and 2000. Remembering victims publicly is not new – think Holocaust museums, or South Africa's Apartheid Museum – nor is the laudable claim behind such memorials: that societies must own up to their darkest hour so as never to repeat it. What's different – and dangerous – about Latin America is how fresh the wounds are. "The Holocaust memorials went up when most of the victims and perpetrators were long gone," says Princeton historian Jeremy Adelman. "In Latin America, they're walking in our midst."81. Which of the following statements about the dictatorship of Pinochet is true?A. 70,000 Peruvians were killed under it.B. The democracy was shut down for more than ten years.C. It ruled half a century with devastating consequences.D. It witnessed the worst human rights atrocities.82. According to the author, one of the tasks of the new generation of Latin American leaders is _______.A. managing memoriesB. dealing with temblorsC. healing the citizens' physical woundsD. cleaning the injuries83. Why it is risky to build memorials in Latin America?A. Because one cannot combat terror with terror.B. Because too many people died under the dictatorship.C. Because the democracy is not tender as before.D. Because most of the victims and criminals are alive.84. The monuments have been planned in Latin America to _______.A. reconcile the pastB. honor the dead in the glorious warC. exhibit articles of the dead and disappearedD. rewrite the history85. What's the author's attitude towards the memorials?A. Affirmative.B. Negative.C. Worried.D. Supportive.TEXT BLast summer's "Death Panel" controversy, inspired by Sarah Palin's infamous Facebook post, created a firestorm over end-of-life care, complete with politicians and radio talk show hosts skewering reality with charges that the Democrats wanted to kill off Granny. It also made doctors who care about the issue and scientists who study it ever more determined to document the truth. Case in point: researchers from the University of Michigan reported in the New England Journal of Medicine yesterday that 42 percent of Americans over the age of 60 end up having to make some kind of decision about their medical care and, of those, 70 percent are incapable of doing so. These are impressive stats and make advance directives – which outline a person's wishes for end-of-life care –potentially very useful. Dr. Kenneth Langa, the paper's senior author, says he and his colleagues started their research several years ago, but got even more motivated as the Death Panel debacle ensued. "Last summer's debate was incredibly saddening and really aggravating for people who work with patients at the end of life and see the kinds of incredible emotional struggles that these kinds of decisions place on patients and their families," says Langa. "It made us redouble our efforts to get this research done."The reality is that patients want to have a say in what happens to them when they're sick and, more often than not, they don't want heroic and often hugely costly measures to save them. In the new study, researchers found that more than 90 percent of the adults who had living wills requested either limited care or "comfort care" at the end of life. Only 1.9 percent (a total of ten patients out of 3,746) asked for "all care possible". Aggressive medicine does not equal happy patients. Doctors must acknowledge this and have honest and informative conversations with their patients. In another study, published in 2008, researchers found that end-of-life discussions resulted in less aggressive care – including ventilation and resuscitation – and earlier hospice enrollment, which equaled better quality of life for patients.Healthcare organizations need to support hospice and palliative care. And doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals need to be trained in advance care planning. "And they're not," says Jim Conway, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, MA. Often, there's a lack of communicationbetween patients and their families. Conway has seen family members give instructions to go further and further with treatment even as the patient sits in bed, shaking his head. And the decision to die at home –which most Americans say they want –takes place too late too much of the time. Conway, who used to run the hospice at Boston's Dana Farber Cancer Institute, remembers getting four or five requests every Friday from families saying their loved ones needed to be moved before the weekend because they wanted to die at home. Conway's staff would go into overdrive to arrange appropriate care – the right kind of bed, hospice staff – to make the home setting work. More often than not, the patient would be dead by Sunday. "It was such a crazy experience and the whole ramp-up to that could have been much more respectful if we had had the conversations in a far more systematic way," he says.86. Which of the following statements about last summer's "Death Penalty" controversy is NOT true?A. It motivated the research work started years ago.B. It accused the government of killing Granny.C. It was induced by a Facebook post.D. It saddened a lot of doctors working with patients at the end of life.87. An advance directive is potentially useful because _______.A. most of the sick who have to decide about their medical care are incapable of doing soB. doctors are not likely to talk with their patients honestlyC. it ensures that every patient can die on their own termsD. patients don't need heroic efforts of the doctors to save them88. The studies mentioned in the second paragraph suggest that _______.A. the patients' wills should be respectedB. most of the patients need no careC. doctors' efforts are not vital for patientsD. people expect doctors to save their loved ones89. Conway's experiences are cited to support the author's idea that _______.A. medical staff need to be trained in care planningB. conversation between patients and their families is vitalC. healthcare organizations should be expert in care supportingD. conversation between the patients and doctors should be covered in health reform bill90. Which of the following can best represent the article's main idea?A. Seniors seek end-of-life "comfort care".B. Patients need to empower themselves.C. Less aggressive care means happy patients.D. There is lack of communication between patients and doctors.TEXT CThe debt that Western culture owes to ancient Greece is so pervasive and enduring it hardly needs totting up. From time to time, though, it's worth taking stock of how that debt changes over the generations. Think of our inheritance from the Greeks as a trunk full of wonderful stage goods: costumes and props that can be used in all sorts of ways to enact all sorts of stories, depending on the performer's inclination and the zeitgeist. In the Romantic era, Shelley rewrote one of Aeschylus' plays to draw attention to the Greek war of independence; The Odyssey gave Joyce the template for a masterpiece of 20th-century modernism. Closer to our own time, the makers of Hollywood's 1981 version of Clash of the Titans drew on the Perseus myth to – well, it's not clear what they were trying to do, beyond showcase the godly brown locks of young Harry Hamlin. (It worked.) In the last few years, artists have rummaged around in that trunk more frequently than usual. No pattern unites all the borrowing that has turned up lately on bookshelves, stages, and movie screens, beyond the underlying assumption that stories about gods and heroes from hazy antiquity could still be relevant to us today. Somehow they can still move and amuse us, the assumption goes. Somehow they can help us, even now, to find our place in the world.For Orestes and Medea and the rest to do this, modern artists need to identify the spirit that animated the stories all those centuries ago and translate it to the changed circumstances of today. The vexed track record of their。

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should mark the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage AWe’ve found that eating habits vary (变化) so much that it does not make sense to include meals in the price of our tours. We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算).As our hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best.

That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation.This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens.In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District (CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space.Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.1.

If二、阅读理解单项选择题（本大题共20分，共 2 小题，每小题 10 分）1. THE BEST ADVICE I EVER HAD(A)When I was about 15, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my short comings (缺点). Week by week her list grew. I was skinny (极瘦的), I talked too loud, I was too proud (骄傲的), and so on. I put up with (忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst (爆发) quietly. Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not?” True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?“Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the po ints that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For thefirst time in my life I began to get quite a clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anybody else thetruth about yourself, once y ou hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is,you’ll find it will echo (共鸣) inside you.”“I still don’t think it very nice of her to t alk about me in front of everybody,” I said.“Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing (批评) you just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like tha t now, would you?”“No,” I admitted (承认) (To be continued)(1). One day the writer ran to her father in tears and anger because( D)A.she found that she talked too loudB.she found that she was too proudC.her classmates were not friendly to herD. a girl pointed out many of her shortcomings(2).

The shop was just around the corner from my office. I still remember how it was that day: the first sign of spring mixing with the soft coal smoke from thefactories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood.As I turned the corner on my way to office, I once more looked at the poor collection of toys in the dusty window. And then I remembered the coming birthday of my small niece in Cleveland. For years I was inthe habit of sending gifts to her. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate. I looked at the collection of unappealing objects–a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed stationery (文具), and garish (俗气的) advertisements for soft-drink. And when I was about to leave because of disappointment, my eyes eventually came to the doll in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows, but I knew that a great impression had been made upon me.(1). What made an impression on the author?(A)A. The doll’s unusual face.B.The collection of toys.C.A stranger he met at the store.D.The expressions of the doll to his niece.(2). Why does the author mention his niece?(D)A.She likes dolls.B.The doll looks like her.C.She lives near Cleveland.D. She was looking for a gift for her.(3). The story takes place in the ( C )A.early summerB.midsummerC.early springD. late spring(4). When was the story written?( A )A.One year after the incidentB.Right after the incident.C.In the author’s old age.D. On the author’s birthday.(5). Most of the things in the store window were ( D )A.expensiveB.appealingC.neatly arrangedD. unattractive三、问答题（本大题共40分，共 2 小题，每小题 20 分）1.

Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmospher e from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predict ed Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earth’s but Venus’ atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earth’s agri culture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.(1). Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus(2).According to the passage, what heats the atmosphere on Venus?A. The green house effectB. The sunlightC. The radiationD. The carbon dioxide(3).According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?A. It contains much more carbon dioxideB. It is four percent thinnerC. It holds significantly less moistureD. It traps less heat radiation(4).It can be inferred from the passage that the burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _____.A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea waterB. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surfaceC. the planet’s temperature to changeD. the atmosphere to become thinner(5).According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to ________.A. predict changes in the planet’s orbitB. test a theory about more efficient greenhouseC. test the efficiency of a spacecraftD. predict future agricultural problems on Earth2.At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors. The worsttremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. It is also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief.What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake.(1).Which sentence best tells what this passage says?A. Cities can be made earthquake proof.B. More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquakeC. Earthquakes always cause serious damageD. Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake(2).How many people died in the Kobe earthquake?A. More than 6,000B. At least 100,000C. Nearly 310000D. 75,000(3).What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage?A. People are not given enough trainingB. Engineers do not have the knowledgeC. Protection is too costlyD. No one takes earthquakes seriously(4).The author's attitude in writing this passage is ________.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!)A. analyticB. blamingC. provocativeD. indifferent(5)."Tremors" probably means ________.A. earthquake-proving buildingsB. shaking movementsC. heavy thunderstormsD. natural disasters3. City planners are the people who guide the development of cities and towns. They mightadvise local governments on ways to improve communities, or they might design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area is expected to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is headed to the west, where there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads and is a threat to the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure people back into the older, developed eastern section of the region by concentrating growth in that direction and away from the western section.City planners also plan and develop new communities. These communities, called new cities or new towns, include both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazil's capital Brasilia, a community founded in 1900, can be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents. Building completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completedNew towns are different from new cities in that they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns built in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century an estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States.(1). The passage is mainly about ________. A. choosing a good city planner B. the planning of the Reston, Virginia C. the planning of Brasilia and Canberra D. the work of city planners (2). Brasilia, Brazil, is an example of _______. A. an improved old city B. a planned new city C. a planned new town D. a suburban development(3). You would most likely hire a city planner if you needed someone to ________. A. help grow best trees and flowers in a city B. a planned new city C. design new office buildings in a city D. guide the development of a new community in a city(4). The number 2 million indicates the predicted ________. A. decrease in South Florida's population B. increase in South Florida's population C. number of city planners to be needed in the year 2020 D. number of towns to be planned by 205 population in a newly-designed city (5). In this passage lure means______ A. cheat B. force C. attract D. chase答案：一、单项选择题（55分，共55 题，每小题1 分）1. C2. B3. D4. B5. B6. D7. C8. C9. C 10. D 11. A 12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 16. B 17. D 18. B 19. D 20.

On the other hand, maybe she should have … Would the docto rs on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment?

Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages and refining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 me ters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom riva led the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD.

Kerosene D. plastic答案：一、单项选择题（80分，共40 题，每小题2 分）1. D2. A3. C4. B5. A6. B7. B8. C9. A 10. B 11. A 12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B 16. C 17. C 18. C 19. D 20. C 21. A 22. D 23. A 24. D 25. C 26. A 27. A 28.
