But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, theglass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.11. Stuntmen are those who ___C___.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives12. Stuntmen earn their living by ____B__.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains13. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ___D___.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right14. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?BA. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.15. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman? AA. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.Passage 2Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyoneon the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she? The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ─alone. The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!16. What do the people on the bus usually see at one corner?DA.

This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.21. The key point of the passage is that __B____.A. the cause of air pollution is people。

He had twice reached the final before, but each time a cup winner’s medal had eluded him.The atmosphere before the match was traditional, but electric. The crowd sang songs for an hour, led by a conductor in the middle of the pitch.

Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom theirparents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another causeof the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have verylittle in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. Theyoung and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generationgap will continue in American life for some time to come.6.The first paragraph tells us that ______.A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attentionfrom peopleB.it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC.children and parents are trying to understand each otherD.it is very important for people to frequently communicatewith each other7.In a more traditional society, old people_______.A.have their children respect and listen to themB.do not care for their children at allC.expect their children to rebel against themD.do not live together with their children8.In American society young people________.A.do not need to find jobsB.leave home at an early ageC.have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9.Which of the following is NOT the causA.Young people like to depend moreB.Parents do not love their children dC.American society changes rapidly.D.Parents expect too much of their c10.The main idea of the passage is ____A.that the generation gap needs coB.when the generation gap is neceC.why the generation gap existD.how we can reduce the generatio二、交际用语 (此部分共有 10 个未完成的完成的部分有 4 个选项，请你从 A、B、个最佳选项。

Answer the questions of each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Each question has only one correct answer.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345" are also common choices.That predictability leis security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date一70 million passwords that with useful data about their owners.MrBonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, li ke access to games. "Nag screens” that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. MrBonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’ s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.46. People tend to use passwords that are .[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D] popular names47. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords arc due to .[A] lack of research tools [B] lack of research funds[C] limited lime of studies [D] limited size of samples48. It is indicated in the text that .[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] Young people tend to have secure passwords[C] Nag screens help little in password security[D] Passwords for credit cards are usually safe49. The underlined word “ compromise” in Para. 5 most probably means _ .[A] comprise [B] compensate [C] endanger [D] encounter50. The last paragraph of the text suggests that.[A] Net users regulate their online behaviors[B] Net users rely on themselves for security[C ]Big websites limit the number of guesses[D] Big websites offer users convenient accessText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain’s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown. It was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones' foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain's largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments," says Glancey. “At the lime places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site.He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take anypre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the slate could preserve Britain’s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.51. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was .[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C]legally protected[D] a public property52. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because .[A ] rats weakened its foundation[B ] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it[D] visitors chipped pieces off it53. Lubbock proposed a bill to .[A ] push people to learn history[B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection[D] push visitors to behave properly54. When the bill was voted into law in 1882, ithad been made less.[A] severe[B] biased[C] implicit[D] complex55. This text is mainly about .[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritage!；in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments BillPart B TranslationTranslate these sentences into Chinese.56. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former.57. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult.58."Nag screens” that told users (hey had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference.59. An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.60. So it’ s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.Section IV WritingPlease write a composition based on the pictures: describe what does Tom do on Sunday.

She wishes that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume. Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod on your toes, poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth doubles the price." But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.When she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, "Your father has at last to decide to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.36.

Today's children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.Before they know how to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立方形的) or triangular, outsized or very small. They alto like work-books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books (漫画册) filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others. Not that the traditional children' s books are being neglected. There are still story books where the pages pop up(跳起 )when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot(情节) or ending they want, and books on' CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries.The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book was often seen as improper, "says Canadian author Marie-France Hebert. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like not cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There's real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin."21．"Reworked" as used in Paragraph 1 means _____________. （） [单选题] *A. rewordedB. rewrittenC. processedD. revised(正确答案)22．In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ____________. （） [单选题] *A. recently publishedB. of various shapesC. babies likeD. popular among children(正确答案)23．Which of the following statements is true? （） [单选题] *A. Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.B. When you buy work-books you will be given free comic Nooks.C. Traditional children's books are not being removed from market(正确答案)D. Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.24．The expression ―get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means___________.（） [单选题] *A. pass on to children(正确答案)B. made children believeC. teach childrenD. get around to children25．The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ______________.（） [单选题] *A. warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishersB. warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity.(正确答案)C. showed great enthusiasm in publishers of great wealth.D. reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers.Passage 2The enjoyment of the life covers many things: the enjoyment of ourselves, of home life, of trees, flowers, clouds, winding rivers and falling cataracts and the myriad things in nature, and then enjoyment of poetry, art, contemplation, friendship, conversation and reading, which are all some form or other of the communion of spirits.There are obvious things like the enjoyment of food, a gay party or family reunion, an outing on a beautiful spring day; and less obvious things like the enjoyment of poetry, art and contemplation. I have found it impossible to call these two classes of enjoyment material and spiritual, first because I do not believe in this distinction, and secondly because I am puzzled whenever I proceed to make this classification.How can I say, when I see a gay picnic party of men and women and old people and children, what part of their pleasure is material and what part spiritual? I see a child romping about on the grass plot, another child making daisy chains, their mother holding a piece of sandwich, the uncle of the family biting a juicy, red apple, the father sprawling on the ground looking at the sailing clouds, and grandfather holding a pipe in his mouth. Probably somebody is playing a gramophone, and from the distance there come the sound of music and the distant roar of the waves. Which of these pleasures is material and which spiritual? Is it so easy to draw a distinction between the enjoyment of a sandwich and the enjoyment of a surrounding landscape, which we call poetry? Is it possible to regard the enjoyment of music which we call art, as decidedly a higher type of pleasure than the smoking of a pipe, which we call material? This classification between material and spiritual pleasure is therefore confusing, unintelligible and untrue for me. It proceeds, I suspect, from a false philosophy, sharply dividing the spirit from the flesh, and not supported by a closer direct scrutiny of our real pleasures.26．What is the meaning of ―myriad in the first paragraph? （） [单选题] *A. colorfulB. variousC. numerous(正确答案)D. varied27．According to your understanding, which of the following is not right? （） [单选题] *A. The enjoyment of life covers all sorts of things.B. There are obvious and less obvious things for us to enjoy.C. Family reunion and home life is also an enjoyment.D. Material and spiritual pleasures should be classified.(正确答案)28．The topic sentence of the third paragraph is____ （） [单选题] *A. The first sentence.B. The last sentence.C. The last but one sentence.D. There is no topic sentence.(正确答案)29．There is one word in this passage possibly misleading. It is____ （） [单选题] *A. gay in paragraph two(正确答案)B. contemplation in paragraph oneC. commune in paragraph oneD. scrutiny in the last sentence30．Choose the best title for this passage____ （） [单选题] *A. The feast of life(正确答案)B. Enjoy our material lifeC. Enjoy our spiritual lifeD. Material and spiritual enjoymentPassage 3Everybody gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until; finally,some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modem industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame(荣誉).Because ill health is a universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves theresponsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values,groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution(体系机构). To the sociologist(社会学家), then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease.In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer(治疗者). The latter is typically also the priest(牧师), who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and mostly institutions of modern society.31．Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1 ? （） [单选题] *A. Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health.B. Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.(正确答案)C. Most of us are aware of the full value of health.D. Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else.32．The word "authorize in Paragraph 2 means _______________. （） [单选题] *A. make way forB. give power to(正确答案)C. write an order forD. make it possible for .33．In Paragraph 2 , we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as _____________. （） [单选题] *A. a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthy(正确答案)B. a universal problem that affects every society.C. a social responsibility to treat ill health.D. a science that focuses on the treatment of disease.34．According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true? （） [单选题] *A. In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill.B. In pre industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing.C. Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.(正确答案)D. There were only two roles in ail elementary medical system, the patient and the one whotried to cure him.35．The author of this passage is mainly _____________. （） [单选题] *A. sociological aspects in medicine.(正确答案)B. medical treatment of diseases.C. the development of medical ,scienceD. the role of religion in medicine.三、用适当的介词或副词填空（每空2分，共20分）36．He was so ill that he was unable to keep ______ with what was going on.

French influence on this continent thus came to an end；England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III，king of England，after consulting with his advisers，decided that the American colonists（殖民者）should help pay some of the expenses of this war. A standing English army of 10，000 men had been left in the colonies（殖民地）forprotection against the Indians. The English government alsofelt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a series of measures，the Grenville Program，passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists，but one in particular，the Stamp Act，was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps，ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar，be placed on all newspapers，advertisements，bills of sale，wills，legal papers，etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone，rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act，none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from V irginia - Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Y et when the Stamp Act came up for discussion，he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed，for the first time，certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. “Is life so dear or peace so sweet，as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery？Forbid it，Almighty （万能的）God！I know not what course others may take，but as for me，give me liberty，or give me death！”21.From the text we learn that ___________________.A、Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763B、there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763C、France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi RiverD、the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of Paris22.The Grenville Program refers to ___________________.A、King George IIIs plan to gather money in North AmericaB、the British governments desire to raise money in North AmericaC、a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American coloniesD、a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies23.The Stamp Act ___________________.A、was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollarB、required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on themC、was the main cause of the American RevolutionD、chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses24.From the text we learn that Patrick Henry ___________________.A、had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long timeB、didnt know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyerC、was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp ActD、didnt value life or peace as much as other people did25.This passage is mainly about ___________________.A、one of the events leading to the American RevolutionB、the Treaty of Paris between Britain and FranceC、the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD、Patrick Henry， a hero who opposed the Stamp ActPassage Two：Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A number of recent books have reworked subjects，forms and writing techniques. Todays children read stories about divorce，death，drugs，air pollution，political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator，all kinds of books are being published.Before they know to read，babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on，they are given picture books that may be cubical（立方形的）or triangular，outsized or very small. They also like work-books which come with watercolours and paintbrushes，and comic books（漫画册）filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others.Not that the traditional childrens books are being neglected.

Answer the questions of each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Each question has only one correct answer.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345" are also common choices.That predictability leis security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date一70 million passwords that with useful data about their owners.MrBonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, li ke access to games. "Nag screens” that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. MrBonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’ s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.46. People tend to use passwords that are .[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D] popular names47. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords arc due to .[A] lack of research tools [B] lack of research funds[C] limited lime of studies [D] limited size of samples48. It is indicated in the text that .[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] Young people tend to have secure passwords[C] Nag screens help little in password security[D] Passwords for credit cards are usually safe49. The underlined word “ compromise” in Para. 5 most probably means _ .[A] comprise [B] compensate [C] endanger [D] encounter50. The last paragraph of the text suggests that.[A] Net users regulate their online behaviors[B] Net users rely on themselves for security[C ]Big websites limit the number of guesses[D] Big websites offer users convenient accessText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain’s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown. It was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones' foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain's largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments," says Glancey. “At the lime places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site.He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take anypre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the slate could preserve Britain’s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.51. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was .[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C]legally protected[D] a public property52.
