15、ext Web Timothy Berners-Lee might be giving Bill Gates a run for the money, but he passed up his shot at fabulous wealth-intentionallyin 1990. Thats when he decided not to patent the technology used to create the most important software innovation in the final decade of the 20th century: the World W
16、ide Web. Berners-Lee wanted to make the world a richer place, not a mass personal wealth. So he gave his brainchild to us all. Berners-Lee regards todays Web as a rebellious adolescent that can never fulfill his original expectations. By 2005, he hopes to begin replacing it with the Semantic Weba sm
17、art network that will finally understand human languages and make computers virtually as easy to work with as other humans. As imagined by Berners-Lee, the new Web would understand not only the meaning of words and concepts but also the logical relationships among them. That has great potential. Mos
18、t knowledge is built on two pillars: semantics and mathematics. In number processing, computers already outclass people. Machines that are equally skilled at dealing with language and reason wont just help people uncover new insights: they could blaze new trails on their own. Even with a fairly crud
19、e version of this future Web, mining online for valuable pieces of knowledge would no longer force people to go through screen after screen of irrelevant data. Instead, computers would dispatch intelligent agents, or software messengers, to explore Web sites by the thousands and logically pick out j
20、ust whats relevant. That alone would provide a major boost in productivity at work and at home. But theres far more. Software agents could also take on many routine business work, such as helping manufacturers find and negotiate with lowest-cost parts suppliers and handling help-desk questions. The
21、Semantic Web would also be a treasure house of eureka insights. Most inventions and scientific breakthroughs, including todays Web, spring from novel combinations of existing knowledge. The Semantic Web would make it possible to evaluate more combinations overnight than a person could do in a lifeti
22、me. Sure scientists and other people can post ideas on the Web today for others to read. But with machines doing the reading and translating technical terms, related ideas from millions of Web pages could be distilled and summarized. That will lift the ability to assess and integrate information to
23、new heights. The Semantic Web, Berners-Lee predicts, will help more people become more intuitive as well as more analytical. It will foster global collaborations among people with diverse cultural perspectives, so we have a better chance of finding the right solutions to the really big issueslike th
24、e environment and climate warming. 18 Had he wanted, Berners-Lee could have_. （ A） created the most important innovation in the 1990s （ B） accumulated as much personal wealth as Bill Gates （ C） patented the technology of Microsoft software （ D） given his brainchild to us all 19 The Semantic Web will

26、go through screen after screen of irrelevant data （ B） ask the Web to dispatch some messenger to his door （ C） use smart software programs called “agents“ （ D） explore Web sites by the thousands and pick out whats relevant 21 Thanks to the Web of the future,_. （ A） millions of web pages can be trans

40、te-taking. 0 【听力原文】 Computer Crime Good morning, todays lecture is the very first of a series of lectures on types of modern crimes, so Id like to discuss the first typecomputer crime right now. As computer crimes are getting more and more rampant, laws must be passed to address the increase in the
41、number and types of those crimes. Over the last twenty years, large computers are used to track reservations for the airline industry, process billions of dollars for banks, manufacture products for industry, and conduct major transactions for businesses because more and more people now have compute
42、rs at home and at the office. So, who committed computer crimes? Whats the definition of computer crime and what forms does computer crime take on? And what are our protection measures? We shall answer the preceding questions one by one. First, what kinds of people tend to commit computer crimes? Ac
43、cording to experts, computer criminals tend to be relatively honest and in a position of trust: few would do anything to harm another human, and most do not consider their crime to be truly dishonest. Most are males: women have tended to be accomplices, although later they are becoming more aggressi
44、ve.(1)Computer Criminals tend to usually be between the ages of 14-30,(2)they are usually bright, eager, highly motivated, adventuresome, and willing to accept technical challenges. It is tempting to liken computer criminals to other criminals, ascribing characteristics somehow different from normal
45、 individuals, but that is not the case. It is believed that the computer criminal often marches to the same drum as the potential victim but follows an unanticipated path. There is no actual profile of a computer criminal because they range from young teens to elders, from black to white, from short
46、 to tall. (3) Second, we shall discuss the evolutionary definition of computer crime. Definitions of computer crime have changed over the years as the users and misusers of computers have expanded into new areas.(4)When computers were first introduced into businesses, computer crime was defined simp
47、ly as a form of white-collar crime committed inside a computer system. Congress has been reacting to the outbreak of computer crimes. The U.S. House of Judiciary Committee approved a bipartisan computer crime bill that was expanded to make it a federal crime to hack into credit and other data bases
48、protected by federal privacy statutes.(5)This bill is generally creating several categories of federal crimes for unauthorized access to computers to obtain money, goods or services or classified information. Third, computer crimes can take on many forms. The first form is swindling or stealing of m
49、oney is one of the most common computer crimes.(6)An example of this kind of crime is the Well Fargo Bank that discovered an employee was using the banks computer to embezzle $ 21.3 million, which is the largest U.S. electronic bank fraud on record. The second form is called credit card scams.(7)This is one that fears many people for good reasons. The following story is a real case. A fellow c
