15、le 三、 Reading Comprehension 30 New and bizarre crimes have come into being with the advent of computer technology. Organized crime to has been directly involved; the new technology offers it unlimited opportunities, such as data crimes, theft of services, property-related crimes, industrial sabotage
16、, politically related sabotage, vandalism, crimes against the individual and financially related crimes. Theft of data, or data crime, has attracted the interest of organized criminal syndicates. This is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer program. An international market already exist
17、s for computerized data, and specialized fences are said to be playing a key role in this rapidly expanding criminal market. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firms competitors to foreign nations. A competitor sabotages a companys computer system to destroy or cripple the firms operational
18、 ability, thus neutralizing its competitive capability either in the private or the government sector. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm. With the growing reliance by firms on computers for their recordkeeping and daily operations,
19、 sabotage of their computers can result in internal havoc, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily buy it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime. Polit
20、ically motivated sabotage is on the increase; political extremist groups have sprouted on every continent. Sophisticated computer technology arms these groups with awesome powers and opens technologically advanced nations to their attack. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer f
21、acility at an air force base. A university computer facility involved in national defence work suffered more than $ 2 million in damages as a result of a bombing. Computer vulnerability has been amply documented. One congressional study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems
22、are adequately protected against sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments in narcotics. Criminal groups have taken attempts in a
23、ssassinating political leaders. Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily turn these computers into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they
24、had used a gun. By manipulating a computer, they could guide awesome tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages. Homicide could take a now form. The computer may become the hit man of the twentieth century. The computer opens vast areas of crime to organize
25、d criminal groups, both national and international. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiting a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer
26、technology, law enforcement has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology. 31 How many kinds of crimes are mentioned in the passage? （ A） 7. （ B） 8. （ C） 9. （ D） 10 32 What is the purpose of a competitor to sabotage a companys computer? （ A） His purpose is to destroy or weaken the fi
27、rms operational ability. （ B） His purpose is to weaken firms competitive capability and get it. （ C） His purpose is to buy the rivals company at a relatively low price. （ D） His purpose is to steal important data. 33 Which of the following can be labeled as a politically motivated sabotage of a comp

29、son. （ B） Criminals can kill whoever they want by a computer. （ C） The computer can replace any weapons. （ D） The function of a computer is just like a gun. 34 The search for latent prints is done in a systematic and intelligent manner. Investigators develop techniques to locate traces of fingerprin
30、ts at a crime scene. The basic premise in searching for latent prints is to examine more carefully those areas, which would most likely be touched by persons who have been on the scene. The natural manner in which a person would use and place his hands in making an entrance or exit from a building o
31、r in handling any object is the key to the discovery of latent prints. Where a forced entrance has been made, latent prints are likely to be found on any surface adjacent to or at that point. Any object with a smooth, non-porous surface is likely to retain latent prints if touched. Fingerprints on r
32、ough surfaces are usually of little value. If the fingermark does not disclose ridge detail when viewed under a reading glass, the chances are that its value in identification is nil when photographed. Where fingermarks are found, it will be necessary for the investigator to compare them against the
33、 ones of persons having legitimate access to the premises so that the traces might be eliminated as having evidentiary value if they prove to be from these persons. Places to search for prints on an automobile are the rear view mirror, steering wheel hub, steering column, windshield dashboard and th
34、e like. Dusting of surface may be done with a fine brush or with an atomizer. The whit powders used are basically finely powdered white lead, talc, or chalk. Another light powder is basically Chemists gray. A good black powder is composed of lampblack, graphite, and powdered acacia. Dragons blood is
35、 good powder for white surface and can be fixed on paper by heating. In developing latent prints, the accepted method is to use the powder sparingly and brush lightly. Do not use powder if the fingermark is visible under oblique lighting. It can be photographed. A good policy for the novice is to ex
36、periment with his own prints on a surface similar to the one he wishes to search in order to determine the powder best suited to the surface. Fingerprints after dusting may be lifted by using fresh cellulose tape or commercially prepared material especially designed to lift and transfer dusted laten
37、t fingerprints. In addition to latent prints, the investigator must not overlook the possibility of two other types of fingerprint traces: molded impression and visible impression. Molded impressions are formed by the pressure of the finger upon comparatively soft, pliable, or plastic surfaces produ
38、cing an actual mold of the fingerprint pattern. These can be recorded by photograph without treating the surface, is usually most effective in revealing the impressions clearly. Visible impressions are formed when the finger is covered with some substance which is transferred to the surface contacte
39、d. Fingers smeared with blood, grease, dirt, paint, and the like will leave a visible impression. If these impressions are clear and sharp, they are photographed under light without any treatment. Ordinarily, prints of this type are blurred or smeared and do not contain enough detail for identificat
40、ion by comparison. However, they can not be overlooked or brushed aside without first being examined carefully. 35 What is the best title for this passage? （ A） Visible Impressions. （ B） Moulded Impressions. （ C） Fingerprints. （ D） Latent Fingerprints. 36 How many fingermarks are mentioned in this p
41、assage? （ A） 2. （ B） 3. （ C） 4. （ D） 5. 37 Which type of fingerprints is most likely to retain? （ A） Latent fingerprints. （ B） Visible impressions. （ C） Moulded impressions. （ D） Clear fingerprints. 38 How many ways are there to develop fingerprints? （ A） 2. （ B） 3 （ C） 4. （ D） 5. 38 These days we h
42、ear a lot of nonsense about the “great classless society“. The idea that the twentieth century is the age of the common man has become one of the great cliches of our time. The same old arguments are put forward in evidence. Here are some of them: monarchy as a system of government has been complete
43、ly discredited. The monarchies that survive have been deprived of all political power. Inherited wealth has been savagely reduced by taxation and, in time, the great fortunes will disappear altogether. In a number of countries the victory has been complete. The people rule; the great millennium has
44、become a political reality. But has it? Close examination doesnt bear out the claim. It is a fallacy to suppose that all men are equal and that society will be leveled out if you provide everybody with the same educational opportunities.(It is debatable whether you can ever provide everyone with the
45、 same educational opportunities, but that is another question.)The fact is that nature dispenses brains and ability with a total disregard for the principle of equality. The old rules of the jungle, “survival of the fittest“ , and “might is right“ are still with us. The spread of education has destr
46、oyed the old class system and created a new one. Rewards are based on merit. For “aristocracy“ read “meritocracy“ ; in other respects, society remains unaltered: the class system is rigidly maintained. Genuine ability, animal cunning, skill, the knack of seizing opportunities, all bring material rew
47、ards. And what is the first thing people do when they become rich? They use their wealth to secure the best possible opportunities for their children, to give them “ a good start in life“. For all the lip service we pay to the idea of equality, we do not consider this wrong in the western world. Pri
48、vate schools which offer unfair advantages over state schools are not banned because one of the principles in a democracy is that people should be free to choose how they will educate their children. In this way, the new meritocracy can perpetuate itself to a certain extent; an able child from a wea
49、lthy home can succeed far more rapidly than his poorer counterpart. Wealth is also used indiscriminately to further political ends. It would be almost impossible to become the leader of a democracy without massive financial backing. Money is as powerful a weapon as ever it was. In societies wholly dedicated to the principle of social equality, privileged private education is forbidden. But even here people are rewarded a
