BEIJING—Set off by the April 1 Sino-US plane collision and US official agreement of the biggest arms sale to Taiwan in a decade(ten years)as well as remarks by US President Bush on defending Taiwan,there have been increasing hacker attacks on websites of the two countries in the past weeks.
An American group of hackers which calls itself Poizon Box had begun ruining Chinese web－sites after the April 1 spy plane incident,top Chinese portal Sina. com. said.
The Chinese soon attacked back.
On April 29,Chinese hackers invaded two US Government websites over the weekend,forcing the Department of Labour and the Department of Health and Human Services to shut down their sites for a short time.
The US Department of Labour went offline for a few hours after a page in its website was changed to display a picture of Wang Wei,the Chinese pilot who died in the collision.
The page was titled“China hack!”and read,in English,“The whole country is sorry for losing the best son of China-Wang Wei forever,we will miss you until the end of the day.”
On May 1,hackers exchanged bad remarks in which the official White House website was defaced by a huge amount of e-mail garbage.On May 5,the White House website fell victim(受害者)to a denial of service attack that blocked access(通道)to the site for more than two hours.
The Computer Network and Information Security Management Office told web operators an average of 100 sites a day had seen“some more form of attack.”
56.The best title of the passage is ______.
A.Sino-US Plane Collision B.Sino-US Hackers Fighting Cyberwar
C.100 Sites Being Attacked D.Cyberwar Continuing
57.What is the correct order of the events?
A.Wang Wei’s picture appeared on a US website.
B.Poizon Box destroyed some Chinese websites.
C.The access to White House website was blocked for over two hours.
D.Hackers exchanged bad remarks.
A.a,b,c,d B.a,c,b,d C.b,a,d,c D.b,a,c,d

C.websites in the US and China have been watchful for attacks

B
JACKSONVILLE,Fla,Nov.10-A 14-year-old boy was arrested today after the rotten body of an 8-year-old girl who was his neighbor was found hidden in his bedroom.She had been stabbed and beaten.
The boy,Joshua Earl Patrick Philips,admitted and was charged with murder in the death of the girl,Maddie Clifton,who disappeared on Now.3,Sheriff Nat Glover said.
Joshua,who has no criminal record,would not be eligible(合格的）for the death punishment because of his age.Detectives recovered a knife and a baseball bat believed to be the weapons used to kill the girl,the Sheriff said.
The girl had been stabbed at least nine times and was struck in the head,Sheriff Glover said at a news conference.The authorities did not say whether she has been attacked sexually,nor did they give motive for the attack.
The boy’s mother,Melissa Philips,grew suspicious after the police searched her home on Monday and detected an odor,the Sheriff said.This morning she pulled aside the frame of the bed,saw a child’s feet and called an officer,he said.
Maddie’s body was found under a sheet of wood supporting the frame of the water bed,which was filled,Sheriff Glover said,adding,“He put her under the bed and taped her up in it.”
Investigators believe the third-grader was killed in the boy’s house shortly after she disappeared last Tuesday,touching off a widespread search.
On Friday,Maddie’s parents,Steve and Sheila Clifton,made an earnest request for her return.
The boy’s house,like others in the neighborhood,had been searched three times.During the third search on Monday,the mother had at first said she though the odor came from family pets.
Hundreds of volunteers had distributed thousands of leaflets with Maddie’s picture since she disappeared that evening,about 30 minutes after she went out to play with friends.
The girl’s house is one of the well-kept,single-family homes in the older working-class of Jacksonville.Yellow ribbons(丝带）still hung from the trees this morning.
59.Which of the following statement is not fit for the report?
A.After the girl disappeared,the police searched on a large scale.
B.Quite a lot of people handed out lots of papers to look for the girl.
C.The girl’s parents are still waiting for their girl to come home safely on Friday morning.
D.The police searched the boy’s house and found the girl’s body by a strange smell.
60.It can be inferred from the report that ______.
A.the girl was killed in the boy’s home
B.the girl was stabbed many times and struck by a baseball bat
C.it is the first time that the boy has been charged
D.the boy won’t be put into prison
61.The words“motive”probably means______.
A.reason B.action C.motion D.information
62.The man,Sheriff Glover,may be ______.
A.a reporter B.a government official
C.the girl’s father D.a person in charge of the case
C
There is a very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower.Which we cannot measure by climbing.
Suppose,for example,that we wish to find out the height of the watertower,AB,in a factory,we first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of,say,90 feet from it,in a straight line,marking the spot that is 90 feet from the water-tower,Then we take a stick,DC,and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.
Let us suppose that the stick we are using is 4 feet in height.We now walk farther away from the water-tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet.We go from the water-tower until we come to a point E,where with our head on the ground,we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same straight line-that is,the top of the stick just over the highest part of the water-tower.
We now have two triangles(三角形）and the proportion(比例）of the side CD to the side CE,in the smaller triangle CDE,is exactly the same as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE,in the large triangle BAE.It is clear from this that every schoolboy or schoolgirl can work out the height of the water-tower.
Suppose that the line CE is 5 feet.We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the length BE is 95 feet.From these measurements we have the simple proportion sum(算题):5 is to 4 as 95 is to AB.We multiply(乘)95 by 4,making 380,and divided by 5.Then we can get the height of the water-tower.The height of any other building can,of course,be easily measured by using the same way.
63.The height of the water-tower is ______.
A.AB B.DC C.90 feet D.180 feet
64.The triangle CDE must be ______.
A.below the triangle BAE B.in the triangle BAE
C.out of the triangle BAE D.over the triangle BAE
65.The proportion of the side CD to the side CE is ______.
A.bigger than the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
B.equal to the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
C.not as big as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
D.smaller than the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
66.According to the measurements,which of the following proportion sums is correct?
A.BA is to four as five is to ninety-five.
B.BA is to ninety-five as four is to five.
C.Five is to ninety-five as BA is to four.
D.Four is to five as BA is to ninety.

You ask me about my hometown,so now I’d like to tell you something about it.
I live in Brighton,which is not a very big town.It has a population of around 300,000.It is on the coast about 50 miles from London.Of course it isn’t as interesting as London or Paris.But the air is a lot cleaner and better.There is little pollution there.There are a few factories in Brighton,but not many.It isn’t very easy to find a job there.My father used to work in a steel plant which shut down a year ago and my father lost his job.But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in the town.In summer the town is full of travelers.My father decides to open a small shop to sell gifts.But he is short of money.He hopes that he can borrow some money from the bank.
