1、Passage 20Clifford Stoll ran a computer system in Berkelely, California. As a system administrator, he
kept a close eye on the records. One day, Stoll found something strange in the payment record.
There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 worth of
time and not paid for it.
It might sound like very little money to worry about. But that 75 cents was the first clue Stoll
had to a much bigger problem — that a hacker(黑客)had broken into Stoll‘s computer system.
Who was it? Stoll spent the next year trying to find out. During that time the hacker used the
system in Berkelely 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 files of false information so the hacker would have lots to read. When the hacker spent long time reading, the telephone company
was able to trace the lines. After a year, the hacker was traced back to his computer — in
Germany. He was later caught by the German police.3. Stoll was concerned about a 75 cents mistake because ________.
A. every cent was important to the company
B. it might lead to a greater loss for the company
C. he was afraid the computer system might break down some day
D. he realized someone had broken into the computer system

1、Passage 15There is a commonly held myth that Einstein was an underachiever at school, but it really
isn't true. While he may have had difficulties with languages, Einstein excelled in physics,
mathematics and music. Einstein held many patents and was a keen inventor.
While working at Swiss patent office in Bern he took it upon himself to write his own
scientific papers in his spare time, mostly at weekends and in the evenings after work. 1905 was
Einstein's miracle year. During this year he wrote three fundamental papers, any of which would
have guaranteed him immortality in the world of physics.
His first was on a new understanding of the structure of light. Einstein argued that light is
composed of small particles of energy, called photons, as well as oscillating waves.
The second paper built upon the theory of kinetics. Einstein explained how atoms were
responsible for the buffeting of particles of material in suspension, like cigarette smoke suspended
in air. This paper presented the first direct evidence for the existence of atoms, vindicating an idea
that had been around for over 2000 years.
His third paper of 1905 was ―On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies‖. Here Einstein
derived the theory of ―special relativity‖. In a supplementary paper four months later, he
formulated the famous equation, E=mc2, where mass and energy are equivalent, showing that a
very small amount of mass converts to a huge amount of energy. This is the driving force behind
atomic bombs, and all the stars in the Universe.
5. Which of the following words can be used to best describe the author‘s attitude towards
Einstein?
A. Skeptical.
B. Critical.
C. Admiring.
D. Exaggerated.

1、Passage 17
Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles. People with strong
social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support ― financial aid, material resources and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.2.Research shows that people‘s physical and mental health( ).
A. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
B. relies on the social welfare systems which support them
C. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others
D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives

1、Translation 7
The first written records of the ancient Olympic Games date to 776BC. The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a religious festival honoring Zeus( 宙 斯 ). The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The Olympic symbol consists of five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, representing the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The Olympics truly took off as an international sporting event after 1924, when the 8th Olympic Games were held in Paris.
