(A)
The simple act of surrendering a telephone number to a store clerk may not seem harmful—so much so that many consumers do it with no questions asked. Yet that one action can set in motion a cascade of silent events, as that data point is acquired, analyzed, categorized, stored and sold over and over again. Future attacks on your privacy may come from anywhere, from anyone with money to purchase that phone number you surrendered. If you doubt the multiplier effect, consider your e-mail inbox. If it's loaded with spam, it's undoubtedly because at some point in time you unknowingly surrendered your e-mall to the wrong Web site.
Do you think your telephone number or address is handled differently? A cottage industry of small companies with names you've probably never heard of—like Acxiom or Merlin—buy and sell your personal information the way other commodities like corn or cattle futures are bartered. You may think your cell phone is unlisted, but if you've ever ordered a pizza, it might not be. Merlin is one of many commercial data brokers that advertises sale of unlisted phone numbers compiled from various sources—including pizza delivery companies. These unintended, unpredictable consequences that flow from simple actions make privacy issues difficult to grasp, and grapple with.
In a larger sense, privacy also is often cast as a tale of "Big Brother"—the government is watching you or An big corporation is watching you. But privacy issues don't necessarily involve large faceless institutions: A spouse takes a casual glance at her husband's Blackberry, a co-worker looks at e-mall over your shoulder or a friend glances at a cell phone text message from the next seat on the bus. while very little of this is news to anyone—people are now well aware there are video cameras and Internet cookies everywhere—there is abundant evidence that people live their lives ignorant of the monitoring, assuming a mythical level of privacy. People write e-mails and type instant messages they never expect anyone to see. Just ask Mark Foley or even Bill Gates, whose e-mails were a cornerstone of the Justice Department's antitrust case against Microsoft.
And polls and studies have repeatedly shown that Americans are indifferent to privacy concerns. The general defense for such indifference is summed up a single phrase: "I have nothing to hide." If you have nothing to hide, why shouldn't the government be able to peek at your phone records, your wife see your e-mail or a company send you junk mail? It's a powerful argument, one that privacy advocates spend considerable time discussing and strategizing over.
It is hard to deny, however, that people behave different when they're being watched. And it is also impossible to deny that Americans are now being watched more than at any time in history.
57. In the first paragraph, the telephone number is cited to show
A. many customers didn't keep their privacy confidential.
B. it is harmful to give a store clerk a telephone number.
C. careless disposal of personal information can be harmful.
D. customers should inquire its use when giving telephone numbers to others.
58. What do companies like Acxiom and Merlin do?
A. Compile telephone directories for businessmen.
B. Collect and sell personal information to make a profit.
C. Trade commodities like corn on the market.
D. Crack down crimes like stealing private information.
59. From Paragraph 3, we learn that
A. cases of privacy intrusion happen only in large institutions.
B. people are quite aware of how their privacy is intruded.
C. it is not privacy intrusion when a wife glances at her husband's cell phone.
D. Bill Gates' email messages were cited as evidence against him.。
60. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks
A. Americans are actually concerned about privacy issues.
B. Americans are indifferent to privacy concerns.
C. Americans are very frank about privacy concerns.
D. Americans are puzzled about privacy concerns.
61. Which of the following is the author's viewpoint?
A. Never give your private information to anyone.
B. People should pay more attention to their privacy issues.
C. Do not surrender your email to any website.
D. It does no good saying "I have nothing to hide".

It is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidence of the depressing state of literacy. These figures from the Department of Education are sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all, and a further 35 million read at a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society.
But my own worry today is less that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literacy than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence, those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading. It has been suggested that almost 80 percent of America’s literate, educated teenagers can no longer read without an accompanying noise(music) in the background or a television screen flickering（闪烁）at the corner of their field of perception. We know very little about the brain and how it deals with simultaneous conflicting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration, silence, solitude(独处的状态)goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy, this new form of part-reading, of part-perception against background distraction, renders impossible certain essential acts of apprehension and concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital.
Under these circumstances, the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a real one. Ahead of us lie technical, psychic(心理的), and social transformations probably much more dramatic than those brought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. The Gutenberg revolution, as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are still being debated. The information revolution will touch every facet of composition, publication, distribution, and reading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will happen to the book as we’ve known it.
62.The picture of the reading ability of the American people, drawn by the author, is .
A) rather bleak C )very impressive
B) fairly bright D) quite encouraging
63. The author’s biggest concern is .
A) elementary school children’s disinterest in reading classics
B) the surprisingly low rate of literacy in the U.S.
C) the musical setting American readers require of reading
D ) the reading ability and reading behavior of the middle class
64. A major problem with most adolescents who can read is .
A) their fondness of music and TV programs
B) their ignorance of various forms of art and literature
C) their lack of attentiveness and basic understanding
D) their inability to focus on conflicting input
65. The author claims that the best way a reader can show admiration for a piece of poetry or prose is_____ .
A) to the able to appreciate it and memorize it
B) to analyze its essential features
C) to think it over conscientiously
D) to make a fair appraisal of its artistic value
66. About the future of the arts of reading the author feels ______.
A) upset B ) uncertain C) alarmed D) pessimistic
（C）
Victimization of a Person with a Disability
A primary difference for a person with a disability who becomes a crime victim, however, is that the criminal victimization frequently compounds existing problems caused by a lack of accessibility to basic social services, poverty, institutionalization, and other barriers to equal rights. A crime that would be damaging to an able-bodied person is frequently a devastating blow to a person with a disability. Indeed, for many, it is the criminal assault itself that results in a disability; the ability to move, to communicate, to understand, is disrupted temporarily or permanently.
Many people with disabling conditions are especially vulnerable to victimization because of their real or perceived inability to fight or flee, or to notify others and testify about the victimization. Frequently, because a person with a disability may be more physically frail, the victimization may exacerbate existing health or mental health problems. For those who hope that their disability may "protect" them from criminal victimization, it is shocking to learn that many criminals do not act upon a perceived "desirability" of the intended victim. Indeed, many perpetrators may be unaware that their victims have a disability. Here, the victim is truly random, another one of us in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Another reality is that many offenders are motivated by a desire to obtain control over the victim and measure their potential prey for vulnerabilities. Many people with disabilities, because they are perceived as unable to physically defend themselves, or identify the attacker, or call for help, are perfect targets for such offenders. People with disabilities are also vulnerable to abuse by the very professionals and other caregivers who provide them with services. Just as many pedophiles gravitate to youth-serving occupations, so do many other predators seek work as caregivers to people with disabilities.
People who are victimized are, therefore, vulnerable to exacerbated suffering. Most victims will experience a sense of shock, disbelief, or denial that the crime occurred, often followed by cataclysmic emotions: fear, anger, confusion, guilt, humiliation and grief, among others. But people with disabilities may have intensified reactions because they may already feel stigmatized and often have low self-esteem due to societal attitudes. The sense of self-blame, confusion, vulnerability, and loss of trust may be exaggerated, as may be an ambivalence or negativity related to their perception of their bodies. Denial and avoidance of the need to cope with the aftermath may complicate the identification of crime victims with a disability. Some victims, particularly elderly and those with developmental disabilities, will need services designed to enhance a feeling of safety and security regarding future victimization.
67. People with disabilities, even before they are victimized, have such problems as______.
A．things that prevent equal rights
B．a lack of basic social services
C．institutionalization
D．poverty
68.The reasons why people with disabilities tend to be more vulnerable to victimization are all of the following EXCEPT that______.
A．victimization worsens their physical or mental health problems
B．they are unable to fight with the criminals or flee from them
C．they are usually more physically frail in face of crimes
D．the victimized disabled people often cannot testify for themselves
69.Which of the following is NOT true, according to the author of this passage?
A．These people's disability is desired to protect them from victimization.
B．A crime to a person with a disability is often more devastating.
C．Criminals often assault their potential prey because of vulnerabilities.
D．Criminals are often unaware that their victims have a disability.
70. The last paragraph of this passage is mainly talking about______.
A．the aftermath of the criminal victimization
B．the cataclysmic emotions of the victims
C．most victims with more mental health problems
D．victimized people suffering from shock
71. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?
A．Compared with the able-bodied person, the disabled is doubly victimized if attacked.
B．A disability of a person is most likely the direct, immediate result of a criminal assault.
C．Most criminals deliberately choose to attack people with a disability as their target.
D．Some caregivers who provide services for disabled people turn out to be predators.
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below
Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. And, of course, for the many other westerners
B. Then you will understand how the word is made up.
C I couldn't comfortably read a newspaper even when I had mastered 2, 000
characters
D. The language is surely difficult for Chinese children as well
E. The sound won't give you a clue as to how the character is to be written
F What you meet are various parts that make up the characters.
When I say "Chinese is hard", the first question you might ask is, " Hard for whom?" A reasonable question, since Chinese people seem to learn it just fine. So I mean Chinese is hard for me, a native English speaker trying to learn Chinese as an adult, with the help of textbooks, tapes, conversation partners, etc. 72_________ They may have spent years of their lives hitting their heads against the Great Wall of Chinese. So, why is Chinese so hard?
1. Because the writing system is complex
Beautiful, complex, mysterious. I, like many students of Chinese, was first attracted to Chinese because of the writing system. It is surely one of the most fascinating scripts in the world. The beauty of the characters is indisputable.
Everyone knows that Chinese is hard because of the huge number of characters one has to learn. A lot of popular books and articles just make this difficulty seem to be not that important, saying things like "You really only need to understand about 2.000 Chinese characters to read a newspaper" Nonsense. 73___________I often had to look up several characters per line, and even after that I still bad trouble understanding the whole article.
2. Because the language doesn't correspond to an alphabet
Imagine the kind of task faced by the average Chinese adult who decides to
study English. What skills are needed to master the writing system? That's easy:
26 letters.
Now consider an American as a Chinese learner. How can he master the
Chinese writing system? There is nothing that corresponds to an alphabet. 74_________ How many such parts are there? It depends on how you define "part" plus a lot of other details. In a word, the number is quite large, vastly more than the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet.
3. Because it just isn't very phonetic
What about memorizing so many characters? Now imagine that you, a learner of Chinese, have just the previous day met the Chinese word for “president" and want to write it. What processes do you go through in retrieving the word? Well, very often you just totally forget. You can repeat the word as often as you like. 75_________
