A lot of people live their lives having no clue what they want. If you ask me, I’d like to point out that you have only one life.____36___You should start right now!

If you don’t want to spend your life wandering aimlessly, you can use the following four tips to find out exactly what you want in life.

1.Regret nothing

2. Figure out what you need

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what you need. ___38___ Is it your family? The freedom to express yourself? Love? Financial security? Something else? If it helps, you can make a list of priorities. Also think about the kind of legacy (遗产)you want to leave behind.

3. Let people around you know what you’re trying to achieve

___39___Voice them all out! If you tell people what you’re trying to accomplish, they will most likely support you and give you new ideas.

4. Stay positive.

Life doesn’t always go the way you want it. Don’t feel discouraged as your plans stray(偏离). Take control. ___40___You will get there someday. You’re just taking a little detour. Sometimes a positive attitude is all you need to keep going.

A.      Live in the present and the future!

B.      Don’t keep your goals and desires to yourself.

Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.

The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti (涂鸦).

Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”

He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.

But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.

Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”

David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumley’s idea isn’t ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the best solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to consider charging a fee. It doesn’t seem to be possible to get the government support.”

In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach — tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles — the damage will increase rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You can’t say the plan can’t go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we don’t take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”

50. Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain____.

A. do not believe the drawings are old.        B. believe they are allowed to paint there

C. think the drawings should be left alone      D. think the drawings will not disappear

51. According to Jean Clottes, some of the visitors to the area have____.

A. helped to clean the drawings              B. taken bits of the rock home

C. been unable to take photographs           D. misunderstood what the pictures mean

52. Henry de Lumley is eager to ____.

A. set up research projects                  B. protect public rights

C. keep out individual visitors               D. ban traffic in the area

53. Which word best describes Annie Echassoux’s attitude towards saving the historic site?

A. Supportive.        B. Disappointed.      C. Worried.       D. Hesitant.

54. This passage has been written about Mont Bego to ____.

A. advertise the closing of the site        B. warn visitors about the dangers of the site

C. encourage scientists to visit the site     D. describe fears for the future of the site

When we had our class, our psychology teacher would take any liquid medicine from a tiny bottle. This touched the whole classes. We thought that he should ask for leave and stayed at home for a rest, so he came to each class on time. Therefore, all of us studied psychology hard than we did any other subject. In the end of that term, we told him that how much we appreciated him. We were so worrying about her health that we asked him what disease he got and what medicine he took. With satisfied smile, he said, “I’m quite all right and it’s a bottle of tea.

They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.

Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.

Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密） them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.

The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.

Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.

Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.

Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.

Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.

41. According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______.

A. had most of their company data stolen   

B. depended on wireless computer networks

C. were exposed to drive-by hacking       

D. were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking

42.   Whichof the following is NOT considered in the study?

A.The number of computer hacking incidents.

B.The number of wireless computer networks identified.

C.The way in which data are sent and received.

D.The way in which data are hacked and stolen.

43.   Most wireless network technology has_________.

A.data encryption program     B. password security programs

C.illegal-user detection      D. firewall

44.   Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves ________.

A. wireless signal administration   B. changes in user’s awareness

C. users’ psychological health      D. stronger physical walls

45.   The passage is lost likely to be seen in a __________

A. book review    B. science fiction   C. textbook   D. computer magazine

Last week we held a discussion on which we should do for our school before we graduate. The students in our class have different suggestion. Some students thought that we can collect money to buy some books for the school library or everything else for the school. Others students think that it’s not necessary to spend money in this, we can study hard and make our school feeling proud of us.

In my opinion, we don’t have to spend money.We can do something meaningfully without money. For example,we can do some voluntary work to beautify the school and try to get better results in the coming exams so that our school will proud of us.

One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）. I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）. ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”

The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building.”

At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,

Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional(传统的) answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.

The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

1. The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.

 A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with him

2. We know from the passage that _____.

 A. the student knew the expected answer

 B. the administrator told Bohr the height

 C. the author preferred Bohr's last answer

 D. the teacher was a very stubborn person

3. We can learn from the passage that _____.

 A. instructors can teach students how to think

 B. arbiters can help students to get high scores

 C. students should be given more freedom in thinking

 D. teachers should make students use physical formulas

 A. Optimistic                 B. Critical        C. Approving          D. Neutral

Now a roboticist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Maja Mataris is leading a team that programs machines called socially assistive robots. Matari wants her team’s robots to help people who have diseases or physical disabilities. For example, a person with Alzheimer’s disease, which causes problems with memory and brain function, might need help with mental exercises. A person trying to regain the use of an arm after a stroke might need encouragement to keep doing helpful exercises. Because there are not enough people to provide all of the help that’s needed, Matari says,“Technology has to step in.”

In one study, Matari’s team tested a robot with people recovering from a stroke. A stroke is caused by a broken blood vessel in the brain or a blood clot that prevents blood from flowing to the brain Small regions of cells die during a stroke. So afterward part of the body, like an arm, may become weak or numb. A patient has to keep exercising that arm to recover. Those exercises can be difficult and unpleasant, however.

Matari and her colleagues programmed a knee-high robot to ask a patient to perform an exercise and to then monitor the patient’s movements. If the person actively used his or her arm, this robot would say encouraging things.

The team tested the robot with six people actually recovering from a stroke. Patients tended to perform their exercise longer and follow instructions better when the robot was present than with no prompting.

Next, the researchers tested whether the robot’s personally affected how people responded to it. The robot could be directed to move in close, speak loudly and make forceful statements, such as“You can do it!”Other times, the researchers would program the robot to act more shyly. At these times, the robot kept a bit of a distance and softly offered gentle suggestions, such as“I know it’s hard, but remember it’s for your own good.”

32.Matari and her team are developing robots that could be used widely              .

A.  in medical fields           B. in learning and teaching

C. in saving people’s lives    D. in helping people out of trouble

33.By saying “Technology has to step in”, Matari probably means     .

A. the robots can take the place of human beings.

B. the robots have to be used to help the disabilities

C. technology has developed rapidly    

D technology has entered our daily life

34.According to the team’s study, the knee-high robot    .

A. could keep blood vessel from breaking

B. benefited the person with a stoke a lot

C. set a good example to the serious patients

 D. forced the patients to do some tiring things

35.Why could unhealthy people keep exercising for a longer time than usual?

A. Because they were very strong.

B. Because moving pencils interested them.

C. Because the robot offered its kindness to them.

D. Because the robot’s words encouraged them.

  —It’s a long time ________ I saw you last.
