19、、 Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 40 More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone cl
20、ever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But
21、even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a flowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not
22、 by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not on
23、ly that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitat
24、e at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled(诈骗 )the most confidential(保密 )records tight under the noses of the company s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes els

30、 criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employers （ D） why computer crimes can t be eliminated 45 Perhaps the most important defining characteristic of a human being is culture. The term culture as used here is not limited to operas, paintings, and other artistic endeavors. Th
31、ese are seen by anthropologists as examples of culture: culture itself is the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behavior and thought in relation to their environment. Defined in this manner, culture has three principal aspects; behavioral, perceptual and material. The be
32、havioral component refers to how people act, especially how they interact with each other. In child rearing, for example, parents and children tend to interact in a relatively patterned fashion. Then there is the manner of perception, the ways people perceive the world. For example, parents have a l
33、imited range of ideas about how they should act, and what significance parenthood carries in the scheme of things. Finally, there is the material component of culture-the physical objects that we produce. Most of what goes into making up culture is a result of learning-modifying behavior in response
34、 to experience within an environment, Learning is practically universal among organisms. But no other organism has a greater capacity for learning than a human, or depends as much on learned behavior for its survival. While the survival of most other organisms is to some extent safeguarded by instin
35、cts, humans rely heavily on culture for their survival. People must learn how to live in a particular social and physical setting, biology playing but a minimal(最小限度的 )role. The ideas and modes of behavior that constitute culture are transmitted largely by a complex system of symbols that includes l
36、anguage. Humans have evolved an extremely complex system of communication that is unique to our species. Without it the creation of human culture as we know it would be impossible. 46 What is the definition of culture by anthropologists? （ A） Operas, paintings and may other artistic activities as a
37、whole. （ B） Customary manners of behavior and thought related to the environment. （ C） Behavioral, perceptual and material components interacting with each other. （ D） The different ways people perceive the physical world. 47 According to the passage, the behavior of making tools for producing mater
38、ial objects should fall within the category of_component of culture. （ A） behavioral （ B） perceptual （ C） material （ D） artistic 48 Learning is most essential for_, （ A） all the organisms to survive （ B） all the organisms to acquire learned behavior （ C） human beings to respond to experience within
39、an environment （ D） human beings to survive and live in a society 49 Whats the element to human culture? （ A） Communication in language. （ B） Biological adaptation to the environment. （ C） Safeguarding by instincts. （ D） Learning to survive. 50 Which of the following statements is True? （ A） The cap
40、acity for learning can only by observed in human beings. （ B） Biology plays an important role in humans living in a social and physical setting. （ C） Human behavior and thought do not have anything to do with culture. （ D） If there no language communication, humans couldn t have created the present
41、culture. 50 “ Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it s a girl. “ Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although the
42、re are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident
43、that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization pr
44、ocess. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father. It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father s role, although difficult, is not nearly as the transition the wife must make to the mother s role. T
45、he mother s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation, on the other hand, the father s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is st
