　　Part Two Reading Comprehension

　　Directions：

　　In this part there are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements， each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.

　　Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage：

　　Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However， the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly， as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hackers（黑客）。

　　Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet， looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks， telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.

　　Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive download of information which would call the attention of the consumer.

　　11. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.

　　（A） the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low

　　（B） the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low

　　（C） there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet

　　（D） people should not make money transactions on the Internet

　　12. The word “temptations” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

　　（A） interests （B） attractions

　　（C） benefits （D） profits

　　13. In the passage， it‘s said that hackers may attack the Internet system of all the following institutions except _____.

　　Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage：

　　For any Englishman， there can never be any discussion as to who is the world‘s greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him： that of William Shakespeare（莎士比亚）。 Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare’s writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.

　　Shakespeare， more perhaps than any other writer， made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English； Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand！ There is probably no better way for a foreigner （or an Englishman！） to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort （it is not， of course， recommended to beginners）， even though some aspects of English usage， and the meaning of many words， have changed since Shakespeare‘s day.

　　16. From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.

　　（A） it can‘t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest poet

　　（B） it can‘t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest dramatist

　　（C） Shakespeare is regarded as a greatest writer

　　（D） Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world‘s greatest writer

　　17. According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from ______.

　　（A） Englishmen （B） Shakespeare‘s works

　　（C） English speaking people （D） ancient people

　　18. To learn the richness of the English language， people should ______.

　　（A） read Shakespeare‘s plays

　　（B） learn from an English man

　　（C） be glad to be a foreigner

　　（D） write and read more

　　19. The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare‘s plays， probably because _____.

　　（A） the works are for native speakers

　　（B） only Englishmen can understand his plays

　　（C） the works are too difficult for a beginner

　　（D） some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed

　　20. In this passage the author wants to _______.

　　（A） show the richness of English language

　　（B） tell how great a writer Shakespeare is

　　（C） tell that some English words are out of use now

　　（D） tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare‘s day
