16、arted to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasnt much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning, too. A woman dropped what appeared to be a dime. The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing

17、more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again. We are besieged by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the st

18、reet. When Im in New York, Im a New Yorker. I dont turn either. Like the natives, I hardly hear a siren there. At home in my little town in Connecticut, its different. The distant ringing of a police car brings me to my feet if Im in bed. Its the quietest sounds that have the most effect on us, not

19、the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away though three closed doors. Ive been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear the sou

20、nds in the daytime? Im quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are. Ive turned against whistling, for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately Ive been associating the whistler with a nervous person making compulsive noises. The tapping

21、, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it. 31 The sound of a coin dropping makes people_. （ A） think of money （ B） look at each other （ C） pay attention to it （ D） stop crossing the street

24、should be ignored. （ C） He believes they are part of our lives. （ D） He prefers silence to loud noises. 35 In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, many Americans feel we may begin to see the erosion of some of our civil liberties. There is concern we may be subject to personal searches and increased mo

25、nitoring of our activities, all in the name of safety and security. On the computing front, I would argue that we already have had to surrender many of our liberties to protect ourselves from computer viruses and other security breaches. As much as vendors and network administrators try to make scan

26、ning for viruses an unobtrusive process for the end user, we still are inconvenienced by the routines mandated by the guardians of our corporate computing security. However, inconvenience takes a back seat to the outright need for security. Viruses are more than inconvenient; they cause real damage.

27、 Computer Economics estimates the cost of virus attacks on information systems around the world, including cleanup costs and lost productivity, has already reached $ 10. 7 billion so far this year. Compare that figure with $ 17. 1 billion for all of 2000 and $ 12. 1 billion for 1999. I know youre th

28、inking: “Im only one person. How can I spend the necessary time to safeguard my company against viruses and security holes and still do my regular job?“ Realistically, you cant. But there are resources to help you. Microsoft has just announced a new initiative called the Strategic Technology Protect

29、ion Program. Among the services being offered are free technical support related to viruses and a security tool kit that includes patches and service packs that address security vulnerabilities in Windows NT and 2000. The FBI and SANS Institute have just released their top 20 list of the most critic

30、al Internet security vulnerabilities. The majority of successful attacks on computer systems via the Internet can be traced to exploitation of security flaws on this list. Study the list at www. sanq. org. The Center for Internet Security provides methods and tools to improve, monitor and compare th

31、e security status of your Internet-connected systems. Find out how to benchmark your organizations status at www. cisecurity. org. Software vendors such as Network Associates, Symantec and Computer Associates have very informative virus resource centers. The Symantec Antivirus Research Center(www. S

32、 an online newsletter and in-depth information about viruses. Likewise, the CA Virus Information Center offer tips on managing virus incidents and protecting messaging systems. Just like our national defense, the best protection against a debilitating virus attack is knowledge of the vulnerabilities

33、 and the means to plug the security holes. Be proactive and vigilant, and make use of the numerous resources at your disposal. 36 The writer seems to feel that_. （ A） the concern about the erosion of liberties is unnecessary （ B） the routine scanning of viruses causes much inconvenience to end users

34、 （ C） the need for computing security makes inconvenience tolerable （ D） liberty can be guaranteed only if security is achieved first 37 The two figures “ $ 1 billion“ and “ $ 1 billion“ are mentioned for the readers to_. （ A） make sense of the damages that have been done so far this year （ B） see t

35、he decrease of the cost of virus attacks （ C） calculate the cost of virus attacks for the year 2001 （ D） pay more attention to anti-virus resources 38 To obtain detailed information about viruses, we can resort to_. （ A） the Strategic Technology Protection Program （ B） www. sans. org （ C） www. cisec

36、urity. org （ D） www. Symantec. com 39 By simply checking the top 20 list, we may_. （ A） obtain a picture of major successful attacks on computer systems （ B） identify a possible security hole in our computer systems （ C） improve the security status of our computer systems （ D） protect our computer s

37、ystems from virus attacks 40 A proper title for this passage might be_. （ A） the Aftermath of Sept. 11 （ B） Liberty vs. Security （ C） Strategies for Battling Virus （ D） Virus AttackAnother Form of Sept. 11 40 On January 11th, a remarkable legal case opens in a San Francisco courtroomon its way, it s

38、eems almost certain, to the Supreme Court. Perry v. Schwarzenegger challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the California referendum that, in November 2008, overturned a state Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex couples to marry. Its lead lawyers are unlikely allies; Theodore B. Olso

39、n, the former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, and a prominent conservative; and David Boies, the Democratic trial lawyer who was his opposing counsel in Bush v. Gore. The two are mounting an ambitious case that pointedly circumvents the incremental, narrowly crafted legal gambits a

40、nd the careful state-by-state strategy, leading gay-rights organizations have championed in the fight for marriage equality. The Olson-Boies team hopes for a ruling that will transform the legal and social landscape nationwide, something on the order of Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954, or Lovin

41、g v.Virginia, the landmark 1967 Supreme Court ruling that invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Olsons interest in this case has puzzled quite a few people. Whats in it for him? Is he sincere? Does he really think he can sway the current Court? But when I spoke with Olson, who is sixty-

42、nine, in early December, he sounded confident and impassioned; the case clearly fascinated him both as an intellectual challenge and as a way to make history. “The Loving case was forty-two years ago,“ he said, perched on the edge of his chair in the law offices of Gibson, Dunn there was something f

43、olksy in his speech, which reminded me that hes a Westerner, who grew up and was educated in Northern California. He said, “Separate is not equal. Civil unions and domestic partnerships are not the same as marriage. Were not inventing any new right, or creating a new right, or asking the courts to r

44、ecognize a new right. The Supreme Court has said over and over and over again that marriage is a fundamental right, and although our opponents say, Well, thats always been involving a man and a woman, when the Supreme Court has talked about it, theyve said its an associational right, its a liberty r

45、ight, its a privacy right, and its an expression of your identity, which is all wrapped up in the Constitution. “ “The Justices of the Supreme Court“, Olson said, “are individuals who will consider this seriously, and give it good attention,“ and he was optimistic that he could persuade them.(The lo

46、sing side in San Francisco will likely appeal to the Ninth Circuit, and from there the case could proceed to the Supreme Court.)Olsons self-assurance has a sound basis: he has argued fifty-six cases before the high courthe was one of the busiest lawyers before the Supreme Court bench last yearand pr

47、evailed in forty-four of them. Justices Sandra Day OConnor and Anthony Kennedy attended his wedding three years ago, in Napa. Olson said that he wanted the gay-marriage case to be a “teaching opportunity, so people will listen to us talk about the importance of treating people with dignity and respe

48、ct and equality and affection and love and to stop discriminating against people on the basis of sexual orientation. “ If the Perry case succeeds before the Supreme Court, it could mean that gay marriage would be permitted not only in California but in every state. And, if the Court recognized homos

49、exuals as indistinguishable from heterosexuals for the purposes of marriage law, it would be hard, if not impossible, to uphold any other laws that discriminated against people on the basis of sexual orientation. However, a loss for Olson and Boies could be a major setback to the movement for marriage equality. Soon after Olson and Boie
