题目 Do you remember the good old days Innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. Okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus — but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didn't pick them up. But those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. Macro viruses made Information Technology (IT) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. It wasn't unusual to find hundreds of computers within personal company infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. The IT staff were amongst the fittest departments in your company, running from Personal Computer (PC) to the next cleaning them up. There had to be a better way. Companies now realize that viruses aren't "urban myths", and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines. It sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they Anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter — often without the user even knowing. However, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. While employees become suddenly aware during the ensuing media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as the stories disappear from the news headlines. This is the danger. Complacency can set in when there is no perceived "action" on the virus front with no global crisis, and the importance of being vigilant about viruses recedes in your users' minds. They forget what the big deal was in the first place — after all, anti-virus software deals with the viruses, doesn't it And isn't it the IT department's job to look after this sort of thing Before you know it your users are opening unsolicited attachments once more, downloading unauthorized software, and putting your company's data and credibility at risk. All because the users think that they are working in a safe environment. Employees see anti-virus software, firewalls and IT departments as guarantees that their computers will work and be safe. Of course, there aren't any guarantees. Anti-virus software plays one, albeit important, part in the defense of your company from malicious attack but the security of your computer system is only as strong as the weakest link. And that, more often than not, is the human factor. No employer wants to come across as a killjoy or an ogre. Most will willingly accept that the happiest employees are those who feel that they are respected and trusted by their employer. Many companies accept that employees will send and receive a certain amount of personal email and make the odd personal telephone call. However, the worry comes when employees start risking company security in pursuit of personal amusement. Funny screensavers and games downloaded from the Internet can seem harmless enough but they could easily be harboring a dangerous virus. Software downloaded from the net is often unlicensed and unsupported, and may cause conflicts with existing software in use at your company. Unlicensed, pirated software is an ideal vector for a computer virus. Virus writers and hackers often use such software as the ideal "kick-start" for their virus distribution. It is vitally important that employees be educated about the virus threat but this cannot be a one-off event. The potential threat should always be in the back of an employee's mind and precautionary measures should be taken as a matter of course. There is no harm in reminding people about what could happen if they let their guard down. In the end, education is the key to a virus-free environment and this is a continual process. It may not be the most exciting thing on the agenda but it works. The lesson is simple. You can have the best software in the world protecting your company's defenses; you can even be the biggest IT company in the world; but without your users practicing safe computing they will always be the weakest link. 59. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage A. Employees welcome the free software available on the Internet and they download a lot of it. B. Employees should be constantly warned about virus threats to ensure the normal functioning of the company's computer system. C. Employees like to take advantage of the facilities in their companies to handle their personal matters. D. Employees take anti-virus software, firewalls and IT staff as guarantees for the normal functioning of their PCs. 60. Employers are likely to do all of the following except that __________.

Is the Business Card Still Useful Today in This Digital Age?Why use business cards in this digital age when it seems that everyone has a digital device in their hands or pressed to their ears? Isn’t the traditional business card no longer necessary or at least old-fashioned?Well, no. Here is one of the obvious reasons why you should still bother to get business cards printed for your small business and hand them out.Digital devices, such as smart phones, are popular today, but that doesn’t necessarily make it any easier or faster to give someone your business contact information.You could email the information to them but that requires getting a person’s email address and inputting the information. How could that be faster than just handing someone a business card?It’s true that some digital devices allow information to be passed from one phone to another, but who would take the trouble to store the personal information in their smart phone during their first meeting? That obviously will make business cards once again the better choice.(1) (单选题)The author thinks that business cards are _____________ in the digital time.A.no longer usableB.still necessaryC.old-fashionedD.to be digitalized(2) (单选题)According to the passage smart phones are_____________.A.best for giving business contact informationB.have replaced traditional telephonesC.have made email out of dateD.examples of modern digital devices(3) (单选题)Requiring a person’s email address is regarded as one of the _____________.A.high-tech developmentsB.email’s advantagesC.email’s disadvantagesD.latest technical advances(4) (单选题)The author thinks the best way of exchanging contact information is by _____________.A.sending it through emailB.passing it through smart phonesC.posting the business cards onlineD.exchanging business cards in person(5) (单选题)What do you have to do before you can pass your personal information on the smart phone?A.Store the contact information.B.Have the email address.C.all the person involved.D.Agree on time of exchange.

Read the passage and check your understanding by doing the multiple choice exercises.The Great Storm More Than 30 Years OnOn 16th October 1987, southern Britain was hit by hurricane force winds, the worst storm to occur in Britain since 1703.More than thirty years on, Britain is remembering the devastation caused by what came to be known as "The Great Storm" : 15 million trees across the region were uprooted due to the wind, as well as the fact that a wet autumn in general had made the ground very muddy. The falling trees caused destruction to buildings and vehicles and blocked roads and railway lines, causing everyone from commuters to schoolchildren to stay at home.There were also black-outs across the area, as power lines were damaged by falling trees and flying debris. People resorted to candles and torches for light, and gas stoves and open fires to cook food.The storm raged for 4 hours before dawn, and claimed 18 lives. The freak storm caused damage of more than one billion pounds (15 billion RMB), and sustained injuries to hundreds of people.The effects of the bad weather were heightened by the fact that most people were completely unprepared, because the weather forecasters were caught out. Earlier that week, weather forecasts had predicted severe weather. But forecasters thought it would miss Britain, and only affect the English Channel. A weatherman, Michael Fish is infamous for saying the storm wouldn’t happen, though in fact he was talking about a hurricane in Florida at the time.But could the same thing happen today in Britain? Well, as a result of climate change, many people think that sudden and severe weather changes are more likely. However, meteorological technology has improved, and now uses satellites to get a much more accurate picture of future weather. So if another Great Storm comes along, the British public should be better warned and prepared!(1) (单选题)In 1987, southern Britain was hit by the worst storm ______________.A.in decadesB.in centuriesC.in historyD.since 1703(2) (单选题)The severe destruction to roads and buildings was caused by ______________.A.the heavy rainB.the hurricane force windsC.the falling treesD.the wet autumn weather(3) (单选题)People had to suffer from ______________ because of the storm.A.power failureB.water shortageC.gas supplyD.food price(4) (单选题)Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The British would be better prepared if another storm occurred.B.It is certain that another great storm will hit Britain again in the near future.C.Severe weather changes are more likely due to climate change.D.Weather forecast would be more accurate as technology improves.(5) (单选题)Which of the following was the consequence of the Great Storm?A.Transportation broke down and people couldn’t go to work.B.Hundreds of people lost their lives in it.C.People couldn’t cook their food because of the blackouts.D.It caused an economic damage worth of 15 million RMB.A.ManyB.NoneC.EachD.Any( )16.E.successF.friendshipG.experienceH.teamwork( )17.I.get away fromJ.look forK.wait forL.put out( )18.M.ButN.HoweverO.SoP.Because( )19.Q.saveR.loseS.waste(浪费)T.leave( )20.U.in the middleV.at the endW.in frontX.on the left( )21.Y.boredZ.tired[.hungry.angry( )22.].far^.farther_.high`.higher( )23.a.Afterb.Duringc.Befored.Until( )24.e.hurtf.putg.cheerh.mix( )25.i.Wherej.Whenk.Whatl.How( )26.m.luckilyn.carefullyo.sadlyp.exactly
