1、Passage 14Shortly after graduation, it is time for you to start the next phase of your life. You will begin
your first "real job." Generally speaking, most of what you have learned in school will not prepare
you for this. There is a big difference between being a student and being an employee. Certainly,
more will be expected of you.
The best career-related advice I ever received came from my former boss on my first day of
work. She told me to listen and observe before suggesting any changes. I took that advice and
have used it in other situations, both in and out of the workplace. While innovation is a good thing,
it is important to be mindful of dynamics of the workplace. If you are entering an environment
where routines are already in place, a newcomer walking in and talking about "better ways" to do
things, will often be met with negative reactions. Why? First, you know nothing about why they
do things the way they do. Second, you haven＇t gained the trust of your co-workers. Finally,
people, by nature, are threatened by changes.
By listening and observing, you will gain a lot. You will learn about the environment of
which you are now a part. You will find out more about the people you are working with. You may
save yourself from making a major, public mistake—you are the new kid on the block while your
co-workers have been around longer. You can learn from their collective experience. 3. Which is NOT the reason why a new comer talking about ―better ways‖ will be met with
negative reactions?

A. The new comer hasn‘t won enough trust.

B. The new comer doesn‘t understand much about his old co-workers‘ ways of doing things.

C. The new comer usually poses a threat to the old co-workers.

D. People, by nature, always regard changes as a kind of threat.

1、Passage 7Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields toward the sun. The flashes reflected
light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other
Greek soldiers could understand the message.
Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to
send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and soldiers with
loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.
In Africa, people learn to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum
was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way
that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great
speed for hundreds of miles.
In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this
way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing
different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.
Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not
until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speeches
sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds5. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

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.

C. 　how a hacker was tracked down by Stoll
