13."Get your hands off  me,I have been stolen,"the laptop,a portable computer,shouted.That is a new solution to laptop computer theft:a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
     The Program allows users to display alerts (警覺(jué)) on the missing computer's screen and even to set a spoken message.Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time,but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
     Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website,which sends a message to the model:a red and yellow"lost or stolen"sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version (版本) of the software,users can also send a spoken message.
   The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds,no matter how many times the thief closes it."One customer sent a message saying,'You are being tracked.I am right at your door."said Carrie Hafeman,chief executive of the company which produces the program,Retriever.
In the latest version,people can add a spoken message.For example,the laptop's speakers will say,"Help,this laptop is reported lost or stolen.If you are not my owner,report me now."
The Retriever software package,which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period,has the functions of many  security  software  programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
     If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop,Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use,So that the police can be alerted to its location;
    Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices,but with the use of laptops increasing,the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
     Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.

36.The expression"to give the thief a piece of their mind"(Para.2)means"B"
     A.to give the thief an alert mind
     B.to express the owners'anger to the thief
     C.to remind the thief of this conscience
     D,to make the thief give up his mind
37.Different from other security software,Retriever canD   
     A.record the stealing process
     B.help recognize the lost laptop
     C.lock down the computer remotely
     D.send a spoken message
38.One function of the program is that it allows the owner toAat a distance,
     A.change some access details for switching on the laptop
     B.turn on the laptop by using the original password
     C.operate the laptop by means of an alternative password
     D.erase the information kept in the stolen laptop
39.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?B
     A.With no Retriever,thousands of laptops are stolen every year.
     B.A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
     C.Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.
     D.A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
40.What is the author's attitude towards the programme?C
     A.Doubtful.    B.Acceptable.
     C,Positive.    D.Negative.

分析 本文介紹了一種新型電腦防盜軟件,這種軟件不僅能向竊賊發(fā)送文字和語(yǔ)音信息,還能跟蹤、遠(yuǎn)程改變密碼以及收集網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息幫助警方發(fā)現(xiàn)電腦位置,以減少手提電腦的失竊事件.

解答 36.B.詞義猜測(cè)題.由第一二段可知,這種新型軟件的新功能是可以向手提電腦偷竊者發(fā)出語(yǔ)音信息,如:Get yourhands off me,I have been stolen.這顯然是表達(dá)電腦主人對(duì)竊賊的憤怒情緒的,故正確答案為B.其他同類軟件具有向竊賊發(fā)出警告文字信息的功能,故A項(xiàng)和題干不能完全吻合,故選B.
37.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段"The program allows users to display alerts (警報(bào))on the missing computer's screen and even to set a spoken message.以及 but this is thought to be the first that allowsowners to give the thief a piece of their mind."可知這個(gè)軟件和其他軟件的不同點(diǎn)是它能發(fā)出又聲音的訊息,故選D.
38.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第六段"Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details."可知主人能夠改掉一些登陸細(xì)節(jié)A項(xiàng)說(shuō)法正確.B、C是對(duì)本句的誤解.由第九段Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.可知,清除被盜電腦信息并非這種軟件的功能,故選A.
39.B.主旨概括題.本文介紹了一種新型電腦防盜軟件,這種軟件不僅能向竊賊發(fā)送文字和語(yǔ)音信息,還能跟蹤、遠(yuǎn)程改變密碼以及收集網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息幫助警方發(fā)現(xiàn)電腦位置,以減少手提電腦的失竊事件;故選B.
40.C.推理判斷題.本文介紹了一種新型電腦防盜軟件,這種軟件不僅能向竊賊發(fā)送文字和語(yǔ)音信息,還能跟蹤、遠(yuǎn)程改變密碼以及收集網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息幫助警方發(fā)現(xiàn)電腦位置;可知作者對(duì)此的態(tài)度是積極地;故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

"Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies,our future should be safe,"Stephen Hawking says.Stephen Hawking,one of the world's most important scientists,believes that to(41)K,humans must move into space.
Today,the United States,India,China,and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth's closest(42)C:the moon.Each country wants to create space stations there between 2020and 2030.These stations will(43)Aprepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.
Robert Zubrin,a rocket scientist,thinks humans should(44)D space.He wants to start with Mars.Why?There are several advantages:for one,sending people to the moon and Mars will allow us to learn a lot-for example,whether living on other planets is possible.Then,we can eventually(45)Fnew human societies on other planets.In addition,the(46)B we make for space travel in the fields of science,technology,medicine,and health can also benefit us here on Earth.
But not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a(n)(47)I idea.Many say it's too expensive to send people,even on a short(48)J.And most space trips are not short.A one-way trip to Mars,for example,would take about six months.People travelling this kind of distance face a number of health problems.Also,for many early space(49)H,life would be extremely difficult.On the moon's surface,for example,the air and the sun's rays are very dangerous.People would have to stay indoors most of the time.
Despite these(50)E,sending people into space seems certain.In the future,we might see lunar(月球上的) cities and maybe even new human cultures on other planets.

8.How can you tell if someone's lying?The answer is,they're probably not.
Traditional economics says that people are(1)D human beings who will lie if it's to their advantage.A recent university study has shown that,actually,we're pretty(2)A--especially when we're  at home.

And yet people told the (6)B.Over hundreds of tosses,a coin will land tails-up about 50% of the time.In this (7)D 0ver halfthe people asked (55.6%) said that the coin landed heads-up,which meant they would receive nothing.
Previous studies had found that people were more (8)D.In those laboratory studies,75% of people reported a(9)Ccoin and asked for a reward.So the research team thinks it's being in our own homes that makes us play fair,although it's not yet clear why.

18.There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy traffic.At present.we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air.pollution.the problem is really worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade,a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in distant areas away from any industrial cities.In fact,the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a"greenhouse effect"一keeping heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature.If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees.much of the polar ice cap will melt and.cities such as New York,Boston,Miami,and New Orleans will be in water.
Another view.1ess widely held.is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age,and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen.Perhaps,if we are lucky enough,the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Driven by economic profits.people ignore the damage on our environment caused by the"advanced civilization".Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.But is it really worth-while?

66.People used to think that air pollutionD.
A.caused widespread damage in the countryside
B.a(chǎn)ffected the entire eastern half of the United States
C.had a very bad effect on health
D.existed merely in urban and industrial areas
67.As to the greenhouse effect.the authorB.
A.shares the same view,with the scientists.
B.is uncertain of its occurrence
C.rejects it as being ungrounded
D.thinks that it will destroy the world soon
68.The underlined word"offset"in the second paragraph could be replaced byA.
A.counter-act    B.break from     C.get along    D.communicate
69.If the world's temperature lowered just a few degreesB.
A.it would not do much harm to life on earth
B.it would lead major farming areas to disaster
C.particular things would increase greatly in the atmosphere
D.seas and oceans would flood many cities
70.This passage is primarily aboutC.
A.the greenhouse effect                
B.the burning of fossil fuels
C.the potential effect of air pollution       
D.the possibility of a new ice age.
