The Internet affords anonymity to its users, a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web. Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ? Last month, Howard Schmidt, the nation"s cyber-czar, offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place—a "voluntary trusted identity" system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card, all rolled 6 one. The system might use a smart identity card, or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer, and would authenticate users at a range of online services. The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join, and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver"s license 10 by the government. Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these " single sign-on" systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services. 12 , the approach would create a " walled garden" in cyberspace, with safe " neighborhoods" and bright "streetlights" to establish a sense of a 13 community. Mr. Schmidt described it as a "voluntary ecosystem" in which "individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with 14 , trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs. " Still, the administration"s plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet "drive"s license" mentality. The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts, who worry that the "voluntary ecosystem" envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 . They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.【B1】A．sweptB．skippedC．walkedD．ridden
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century，with its impact spreading across every corner of the planet，especially in our oceans.It's estimated that over 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year，forming massive garbage patches that threaten marine life and disrupt entire ecosystems. Marine animals，from tiny plankton to giant whales，are the primary victims of this crisis.Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish，their natural prey，leading to fatal digestive blockages.Seabirds get entangled in plastic nets and six-pack rings，which can break their wings or necks.Even microscopic plastic particles，known as microplastics，have been found in the bodies of fish and shellfish，eventually making their way into the human food chain through seafood consumption. The good news is that individuals，governments，and businesses are taking action to address the problem.Many countries have implemented bans on single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags，encouraging the use of reusable alternatives such as cloth bags and metal straws.Environmental organizations are organizing beach cleanups and raising public awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste.Meanwhile，scientists are developing innovative solutions，including biodegradable plastics made from plant materials and technologies to remove existing plastic from the oceans. However，solving plastic pollution requires global cooperation and long-term commitment.It's not enough to just ban certain products；we need to rethink our entire approach to consumption and waste management.By making small changes in our daily lives，like bringing our own water bottles and recycling properly，each of us can contribute to protecting the oceans and the countless species that call them home.（1）What is the main idea of the passage？ ____ A.The history of plastic invention and its widespread use.B.The severe effects of plastic pollution on oceans and solutions to it.C.How microplastics enter the human body through food.D.Why single-use plastics are more harmful than reusable ones.（2）Which of the following is NOT a harm caused by ocean plastic pollution？ ____ A.Marine animals mistaking plastic for food.B.Disruption of marine ecosystems.C.Increase in the number of plankton in the ocean.D.Plastic particles appearing in seafood.（3）What action have many countries taken to fight plastic pollution？ ____ A.They have stopped producing all types of plastic products.B.They have banned single-use plastics and promoted reusable items.C.They have sent scientists to clean up the garbage patches.D.They have fined businesses that use plastic packaging.（4）What does the author emphasize as necessary for solving plastic pollution？ ____ A.Developing more advanced fishing technologies.B.Reducing the consumption of seafood globally.C.Global teamwork and long-term dedication.D.Educating children about environmental protection in schools.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
