15．Although websites such as Facebook and MySpace experienced rapid growth during the middle of the first decade of the 21st century，some users remain unaware of the fact that the information they post online can come back to haunt them．First，employers can monitor employees who maintain a blog，photo diary，or website．Employers can look for controversial（引起爭議的） employee opinions，sensitive information disclosures，or wildly inappropriate conduct．For example，a North Carolina newspaper fired one of its features writers after she created a blog on which she wrote about the strange things of her job and coworkers without signing her real name．
The second unintended use of information from social networking websites is employers who check on prospective employees．A June 11，2006New York Times article reported that many companies use search engines and social networking websites such as MySpace，Xanga，and Facebook to conduct background checks on college campuses．Although the use of MySpace or Google to check a student's background is somewhat unsettling to many undergraduates，the Times noted that the use of Facebook is especially shocking to students who believe that Facebook is limited to current students and recent alum（校友）．
Corporate employers are not the only people interested in college students'lives．The third unintended use of social networking websites is college administrators who monitor the Internet-especially Facebook-for student bad behavior．For example，a college in Boston's Back Bay expelled （除名） its student Government Association President for joining a Facebook group highly critical of a campus police sergeant．In addition，fifteen students at a state university in North Carolina faced charges in court for underage drinking because of photos that appeared on Facebook．
Although more users of websites such as Facebook are becoming aware of the potential dangers of online identities，many regular users still fail to take three basic security precautions（警惕）．First，only make your information available to a specific list of individuals whom you approve．Second，regularly search for potentially harmful information about yourself that may have been posted by mistake or by a disgruntled（不滿的） former associate．Third，never post obviously offensive material under your name or on your page，because，despite the best precautions，this material will likely make its way to the wider world．By taking these simple steps，members of the digital world can realize the many benefits of e-community without experiencing some of the damaging unintended consequences．

74．The main purpose of the passage is toB．
A．explain the growth of the digital world from the view of privacy
B．discuss the risks of the digital world and suggest ways to protect yourself
C．propose steps Facebook，MySpace，and Google can take to protect user privacy
D．illustrate potential unintended uses of private information

A．know to whom you make your online information available
B．a(chǎn)ctively hunt for damaging information posted about you or under your name
C．speak with employers to inform them of any misinformation published about you
D．a(chǎn)void uploading information that would be extremely damaging if it were discovered
76．According to the passage，which of the following does the author imply？A．
A．Information obtained unwillingly from the Internet is permitted in court．
B．It is impossible to protect yourself from unintended uses of information online．
C．Even if you restrict who can view your data，the government may still access it．
D．Done properly，posting offensive information about oneself brings no risk．
77．In the last paragraph the author mainlyD．
A．offers detailed examples to support previous viewpoints
B．further explores the ill-effects of the Internet on the protection of privacy
C．summarizes the points of the above paragraphs
D．provides suggestions to overcome the previously mentioned problems．

10．Lying in the town of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic，the Sedlec Ossuary（藏骨堂）never fails to inspire fear and fascination in first-time visitors．Usually，an ossuary is just a site where bones are kept，but this one is very different．It is an ossuary richly decorated with bones of mote than 40，000human skeletons（骨架），a strange fact that led to its nickname-the Bone Church．
The current location of the Sedlec Ossuary was originally a cemetery．In 1278，the headmaster of Sedlec paid a visit to the Holy Land，and on his return，he brought back a handful of earth from Golgotha，the area where Jesus is thought to have been crucified（釘在十字架上）．The headmaster spread the soil in the cemetery and word went around that the place was blessed．Soon，people from all over Europe wanted to be buried there．In the 15thcentury，the cemetery was nearly out of place，so to make room for newcomers，some of the older bones were removed from the cemetery and stored in an ossuary they built．At the time，however，the bones were merely piled up and not carefully arranged．
It was Frantisek Rint，a wood carver，who rearranged the burial site and transformed it into the magnificent Bone Church．In 1870，he cleaned up thousands of bones and carefully pieced them together in various shapes．The designs include two chalices，several candleholders，a noble family crest，a splendid chandelier，and much more．Equally astonishing are the six bell-shaped pyramids of bones in the four corners of the ossuary．Together，they express the short life of human beings．To this day，tourists can't help but feel small after a visit to the Bone Church．

24．What makes Sedlec Ossuary different？B
A．It has a special nickname．    
B．It is decorated with bones．
C．It keeps bones of common people．
D．It's originated from a cemetery．
25．Why would people like to be buried in Sedlec？D
A．It was well managed．    
B．It was where Jesus was buffed．
C．People saw it as home．
D．People believed it was blessed．
26．Why was an ossuary built in the 15th century？D
A．To reuse the bones．    
B．To sort out the bones．
C．To enlarge the cemetery．
D．To manage space for newcomers．
27．What does Paragraph 3mainly tell us？B
A．We human beings are great．    
B．The church was amazingly decorated．
C．Frantisek Rint is a great carver．
D．The bones in the church are valuable．

20．A planet more like Earth than any yet discovered has been identified as a potential future home for mankind．Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 72 degrees （22 Celsius）．It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life．It is，however，600 light years from Earth．
The planet，where a year lasts 290 days，was first spotted two years ago．However，NASA scientists using the agency's Kepler space telescope have now concluded that it offers the best hope for future human habitation outside the Solar System．
One of the key factors for a planet to be habitable is that it remains about the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot．
Bill Borucki，Kepler principal investigator at NASA Research Centre，said，"We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature．
There are now three planets outside the system，known as exoplanets，which experts believe could potentially be occupied by future generations．

68．Which of the following is most likely to support life for a planet？D
    A．It has 290 days in a year．
    B．It contains both water and land and the right atmosphere．
    C．Its temperatures average 72 degrees （22 Celsius）．
    D．It remains proper distance from its star to have a nice temperature．
69．What does the new planet have in common with the earth？A
    A．They are habitable for mankind．
    B．They exist in the Solar System．
    C．They have almost the same days in a year．
    D．They are both 600 light years from the sun．
70．The passage is written to make it known to readers thatB．
    A．there are now three more planets inside the system
    B．NASA's Kepler space telescope finds a"new Earth"
    C．Bill Borucki has confirmed his investigation
    D．it has been two years since a new planet was spotted．

7．Iceland is a large island．In fact，it's the world's 18th  largest island．Most of the population，however，lives in the southern part of the country，in or around the capital city of Reykjavik．By its very name，you'd expect Iceland to be mostly ice．Looking at Iceland on a map，you'll notice it sits just outside the Arctic Circle．Despite this location and its name，Iceland actually has temperate climate because it's warmed by the Gulf Stream．The Gulf Stream also helps keep Iceland's coastal ports ice-free through the winter．
There is plenty of ice on Iceland，though．The country consists of a large plateau（高原）that includes fields of sand，mountains and glaciers（冰川）．Over sixty percent of Iceland is tundra（苔原）．About fourteen percent of Iceland is lakes and glaciers．Only about twenty-three percent of the country has plants or vegetation of any kind．
Iceland was settled in the late 800s and early 900s by Norsemen from the Scandinavian country of Norway．Other settlers also came from Ireland and Scotland．From the thirteenth century up until 1918，Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later Danish monarchies．For most of that time，the small Icelandic population depended upon fishing and farming to make a living．For hundreds of years，Iceland was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world．After World War II，international aid and industrialization of the fishing industry turned Iceland into one of the wealthiest countries in the world．In 1914，Iceland became part of the European Economic Area．which allowed its economy to grow even．more．
Iceland is one of the youngest islands in the world．Surtsey rose out of the ocean during a series of volcanic eruptions between 1963and 1968．Today，only scientists who study the growth of new life can visit the volcanic island of Surtsey．

25．What would be the best title for this passage？D
A．An Island of Ice and Snow．
B．A Developing Island in the world．
C．Island，the Largest Island in the World．
D．An Introduction to Iceland．
26．What can you know about Iceland according to the passage？B
A．Its capital city is crowded．
B．Its climate is fairly mild．
C．People live in the east．
D．It's located in the Arctic Circle．
27．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3？A
A．Iceland's development    B．Iceland's settlers．
C．Iceland's geography．    D．Iceland's politics．
28What can we infer about Surtsey from the last paragraph？C
A．Science develops fast there        B．Many visitors drop in there．
C．No human beings live there．       D．Its citizens feed on fish．

4．Some years ago，a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving，the men murdered a person working in the building．The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them．However，her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear．Several days later，psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman．His interview produced a breakthrough-the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．The important information enabled the police lo arrest the suspect and close the case．
    The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview，a kind of memory-rebuilding process．Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information．Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress．But a person's accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques．The"cognitive interview"was developed in the late 1990s．It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words，with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques，such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives （角度）．
    The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques：thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events； reporting everything that conies to mind about those events，no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders，such as from beginning to end，end to beginning，forward or backward； and adopting different perspectives while recalling events．
    Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training，while error rates remain about the same．It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony （證詞）．
67．The purpose of the passage is toB．
A．give an account of a murder case
B．introduce an idea of cognitive interview
C．prove Fisher was an expert in cognitive interview
D．help a witness to recall information in a cognitive interview
68．What is required to recall in a cognitive interview for a witness？D
A．The exact time at which a murder took place．
B．The information about the event in the time order．
C．The important things that come to his or her mind．
D．The surroundings and feelings at the time of the event．
69．The key point in a cognitive interview is thatA
A．the witness is encouraged to take part in recalling information
B．the interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time
C．the interview should take place outside the police station
D．the witness should recall details at the scene of the event
70．The underlined word"distorted"in the passage probably means"C
A．a(chǎn)rranged     B．balanced         C．，changed    D．examined．

5．Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling．One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago．Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen．
The story began in 1956when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country's bees．He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated  （交配）  it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees．The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey．It seemed that Professor Kerr，for that was the scientist's name，had a total success on his hands．
Then things began to go wrong．For some reason as yet unseen，but perhaps as a result of something in their environment，the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities．They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry，attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places．
But worse was to follow．Having taken over the countryside，the new bees，with their dangerous stings （叮），began to attack its neighbours--cats，dogs，horses，chickens and finally man himself．A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150human beings．
This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil．But now they are on the move，heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America，and moving at the alarming speed of 200miles a year．The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them．

32．The results of the South American experimentD．
A．have caused a serious trouble
B．have proved to be wrong
C．a(chǎn)re highly thought of     
D．a(chǎn)re not yet certain
33．The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed toA．
A．increase the amount of honey in Brazil
B．make Brazilian bees more easy-going
C．increase the number of bees in Brazil
D．make African bees less active
34．Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees'attacking personalities？C
A．Their production of honey．
B．Their hard work．
C．Their living environment．
D．Their bad temper．
35．The last paragraph implies thatB．
A．the bees have been driven to Central and North America
B．the bees may bring about trouble in more countries
C．the bees must be stopped from moving north
D．the bees prefer to live in Brazil．
