A

TERNANG, Mon — More than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain .

Flooding first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People straggling higher ground were just in time to get away from the destruction of the flood. Most of the flood victims had to leave their possessions behind.

The flood victims are now housed in various make-shift relief centers in the nearby town of Tulang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unfortunate people.” A government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public-spirited organizations and generous persons.”

According to latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be totally covered by water. So far no casualty has been reported.

A.it has been raining for six days

B.more than 10,000 people has no place to live

C.the town has already been totally flooded

D.the government has tried its best to help the homeless people

57.With the help of the government, the flood victims ________ .

A.were safe at higher place

B.got everything they needed

C.lived comfortably in the relief centers

D.were brought to Tulang within three hours

“Wanted by the FBI.” To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world. When the criminal hears them, he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.

Why should he be so afraid? There are hundreds of cities and thousands of villages where he can hide. There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself. Besides, he's usually rich with stolen money.

Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. Money can pay for a hideout in some far-off place. But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Machine Gun Kelly. They had plenty of money and good hideouts. Yet one by one they were found by the men of the FBI.

They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake, they'll get him. That's why the man who is hunted can't sleep. That's why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound. When he makes a mistake, he'll no longer be “wanted by the FBI”. He'll have been caught.

The FBI began on May 10, 1924. Attorney General Harlan F. Stone chose J. Eegar Hoover, a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, to head the new agency (机构). “What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,” he said. “Criminals today are smart. They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock. The criminal would have discovered science. We can't beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically. ”

J. Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men carefully. They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun. He chose men so carefully that he made the FBI the hardest service in the world to get into. The FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.

59.A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is ________ .

A.not at all useful          B.very helpful for a while

C.necessary for staying free      D.important and useful

60.Before he worked with the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover was a ________ .

A.policeman  B.lawyer   C.teacher    D.general

61.The FBI was begun in order to ________ .

A.reduce crimes        B.bring younger men into police work

C.fight crimes scientifically   D.offer jobs

62.A man who can “handle a teacup as well as a gun” has both ________ .

A.courage and manners     B.strength and kindness

C.wisdom and energy      D.ability and humor

Last week's air quality was better in most parts of China than the previous week's as the temperature dropped greatly in nearly all the major cities.

Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu Province, measured the week's worst score on Thursday, 194 on the air quality index—a medium level of pollution.

Beijing's air quality was good, scoring below 100 on the index. Other major cities' air pollution was generally as good as the previous week. Air quality in 10 cities was good with the air quality below 50 on the index in Suzhou, Nantong, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Zhuhai, Zhanjiang, Lhasa, Haikou and Kunming. There were 23 cities with air quality registering below 100, including Beijing, Shenyang, Changchun, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai, Harbin, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Changsha, Guiyang and Wuhan. Another seven cities, Xining, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Lanzhou and Urumqi, were slightly polluted with readings over 100.Suspended particles were the major pollutants in 28 cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Harbin, Hohhot, Shenyang, Changchun, Hefei, Wuhan, Xinjing, Yinchuan, Chengdu, Lanzhou and Urumqi. Nitrogen oxide was the main pollutant in Changsha, Chongqing and Guiyang.

The motor vehicle (汽车) has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people —just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence (疏忽) .

Researchers have estimated (计算) that as many as 80 percent of all automobile (交通) accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort (歪曲) drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.

Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the mad.

Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic mad-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the mad.

66.What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?

A.To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.

B.To improve understanding between careless drivers and street walkers .

C.To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.

D.To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.

67.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because ________ .

A.autos have become most destruction (毁灭) to mankind

B.people usually pay little attention to law and morality

C.civilization brings much harm to people

D.the lack of virtue (德行) is becoming more serious

68.Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three?

A.To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.

B.To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.

C.To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.

D.To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.

69.Who are not mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?

A.Careless bicycle-riders.

B.Mindless people walking in the street.

C.Irresponsible drivers.

D.Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.

70.Which of the following best reflects the author's attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?

A.Doubtful yet still longing for.  B.Happy and rather confident.

C.Surprised and very pleased.   D.Disappointed and deeply worried.

Over the past 10 years, technologies that have combined computers with telephone have developed. Technologies such as PC fax programs and LAN fax servers (局域网传真服务器) have been used to improve fax communications . The latest computer-based technologies are new mechanisms (机制) which use IP (Internet Protocol , 因特网协议) to send faxes , that is , IP fax .

Traditional fax has a fairly simple usage model. First, the user inserts a document into the fax machine, enters the destination fax number and presses the start button on the machine. The sending machine dials the receiving fax machine. If it connects, the sending machine scans the documents and sends it over the public switched telephone network (PSTN, 公共电话交换网) to the receiving machine. At the same time, the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.

In IP fax system there are two basic transmission modes: store-and-forward mode and real-time mode. Store-and-forward mode has been widely used. In this mode, the entire document is sent to a network-based server that stores it and then sends it to the destination. Real-time IP faxing is similar to traditional fax. Real-time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate through some standard.

IP fax enables a fax document to be sent from one person to another. A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes. This would enable users to receive faxes anywhere, anytime with an internet fax address.

71.The passage deals mainly with ________ .

A.PC fax         B.IP fax  

C.information technology  D.new machines

72.In traditional fax, ________ can be used.

A.even computers      B.LAN fax servers 

C.e-mail          D.only fax machines

73.In traditional fax, _________ prints the fax out.

A.a fax machine  B.a receiving machine  C.a computer  D.e-mail

74.In real-time IP fax mode ________ .

A.two fax machines communicate directly

B.a network-based server is used

C.users can receive faxes anywhere

D.the PSTN has to be used

75.In paragraph 2, the word “inserts” can be placed by ________.

A.prints   B.presses      C.puts      D.uses
