One day, Stoll found something strange in the payment records. There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 cents worth of time and not paid for it.It might sound like very little money to worry about. But cents was the first clue Stoll had to much bigger problem—that a hacker had broken into Stoll’s system. Who was it ? Stoll spent the next year trig to find out. During that time, the hacker used the system in Berkeley as a starting point to break into military computer systems all over the United States.Stoll had to keep track of the hacker’s activities on the computer without the hacker’s knowing someone was watching him. Stoll even made up huge of false information so the hacker would have lost to read. When the hacker spent long time reading, the telephone company was able to trace the line.

The Guinness Book of Records says that mosquitoes have caused over 50 percent of all human deaths since the Stone Age, excluding deaths from war and accidents!Mosquitoes are found all over the world. Mosquitoes usually feed on the blood of humans and animals. Mosquitoes often carry dangerous disease called malaria, which usually occurs during hot, rainy season.If a mosquito feed on the blood of a person with malaria, it becomes a carrier of the disease. It injects the disease into the next person it bites. So, for example, a tourist could be infected with malaria during a visit to Indonesia. The same tourist might then visit Thailand where another mosquito may bite him. This mosquito could then bite another person and spread the disease.People have used insecticides to kill mosquitoes and their eggs for a long time, but many insects are now resistant to these chemicals. This resistance is a big problem for doctors because it can stop the prevention and treatment of malaria. Also, several of the drugs which doctors use to prevent malaria do not work anymore because mosquitoes are resistant to them. Experts now believe that the world will never be free of malaria, so they tell people to protect themselves from the disease.If you think that you have malaria, see a doctor immediately. Without treatment, malaria kills over 25 percent of its victims in a maximum of two weeks. After treatment, mosquitoes that bite you will not pass malaria on to other people. Although doctors can treat malaria victims, you must remember: prevention is better than cure.26. According to the Guinness Book of Records , which of the following causes most deaths ? DA. WarB. AccidentC. MalariaD. Mosquitoes27. What do mosquitoes usually feed on? DA. the blood of humansB. the blood of animalsC. everythingD. both A and B28. Which of the following is the correct order for the spreading of malaria? Ca. A mosquito bites the person with malaria.b. The same mosquito bites another person.c. A person is infected with malaria.d. That person may be likely to be infected, too.A. a—b—c—dB. a—c—d—bC. c—a—b—dD. c—a—d—b29. We could draw the conclusion that the best way of fighting against the spread of malaria is AA．prevention B．treatment C．seeing a doctor immediately D．blood —test 30．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage ? B A．We will surely get rid of mosquitoes in the near future.B．It’s believed that malaria will accompany human beings forever .C．Insecticides are always effective in killing mosquitoes.D．A mosquito can not pass the disease on to another person after it bites one with malaria.Passage4When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some idea of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified picture. In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how, precisely, do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and results point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging.Expressed very simply, our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted aver- age of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged together ----but with some "facts" or input receiving greater weight than others. As you can readily see, this makes good sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be influenced to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders (whether respectfully or not) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affect (影响)our impressions of them to the same degree, though, raises an important question~ Just what kind of input receive the greatest weight'? Again. research provides some revealing answers.31. This passage is mainly about BA. how our first impressions are expressedB. how our first impressions are formedC. how we can favorably impress othersD. bow first impressions affect our lives32. According to the passage, a first impression is CA. the result of a quick lookB. not based on enough informationC, a combination of pieces of information D, the observation of how a person behaves 33, Research has shown that first impressions are generally more influenced by DA. the way others speak B, one's appearance and style of dressC. all the information we haveD. certain types of information at band34. The word "weight" in Paragraph 2 is closest in reclining to CA. amountB. researchC. importanceD. burden35. According to the writer, the first impression of a new boss comes largely from his CA, style of dress B. appearance C. way of ordering people D. way of looking at peoplePassage 5Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(住房汽车)A small car can hold(容纳)four persons and a large car can hold six persons, but it is very crowded(拥挤). A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel .They could all travel together.Mr.Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. The sixth and seventh seat are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases(衣箱)when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are brought into the two seats and then carry the grandparents.Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family is traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks.

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory or company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stock will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling. All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble”. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.41.
