Identity theft is "an absolute epidemic", states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advocate of privacy. "It's certainly picked up in the last four or five years. It's worldwide. It affects everybody, and there's very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can't detect it until it's probably too late. " Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data,can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims'names. In many cases, a victim's losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financial' costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the lnternet. 1. Check for a privacy policy. If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site you are considering has a privacy policy, like CareerBuilder. com. The policy should spell out how your information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员 ). When reviewing the site's privacy policy, you'll be able to delete your resume just as easily as you posted it. You won't necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Interact once you had a job. 2. Keep confidential (机密的) information confidential. Do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, driver's license, and bank account numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color. Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. Don't provide this even if they say they need it in order to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book--don't fall for it. 3. Safeguard your identity. Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the lnternet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a genetic(泛指的) identifier, such as "Internet developer, candidate," or "experienced marketing representative". You should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. Depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use a general description of the company such as "major auto manufacturer", or "international packaged goods supplier". If your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent inste, ad of the exact title assigned by your employer.
Robert believes identity theft is difficult to detect and one can hardly do anything to prevent it. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
17、In many cases, identity theft not only causes the victims' immediate financial losses but costs them a lot to restore their reputation. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
18、You can ask the government for compensation if you suffer an identity theft. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
19、The CareerBuilder. corn will send a letter about privacy policy to those applicants. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
20、According to the first suggestion, your resume should not stay online longer than is necessary. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21、All employers require applicants .to submit very personal information on background checks. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22、Applicants are advised to use generic names for themselves and their current employers when seeking employment online. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned 第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第23～30题，每题1分，共8分) 下面的短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第23～26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2-5段每段选择1个标题；(2)第27～30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个选项。 23、根据材料，完成23-31题。 The Meaning of Dreams 1. Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly explained, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize. - 2. I can see their laughing faces ... laughing at me. But they aren't as smart. If they were,they'd be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations (涵义). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can be interp(eted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex ( 自卑情结 ), which the dreamer attempt to escape from by putting th~emselves up above others. 3. I'm moving from fast now, but it's still behind me. Doesn't matter how fast I go, I still can't escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality (生命力 ) like the other one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is prominent emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble (蹒跚) or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes dream even more terrifying (恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the dreamers are under pressure in their everyday life 4. I'm sweating and my heart is beating. I am trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the person is often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming (强烈的 ) feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifying real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death. 5. The wind is pushing me and I slip. There is nothing I can do... nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but is also shows a deep-seated phobia (恐惧) of losing a job and a livelihood.

But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves -- and not to turn into spoiled successors. Nicola Hodick or "superwoman", a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids -- has spent her career making a report f 250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state: of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. "I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children," Horlick told the report's authors. "I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives. " She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has put an estimated $ 30bil into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009,by another $ 24bil also from his friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket -- her father lent her $ 20,then promptly made her write him a check. "To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy," he has said, "is like saying the members of America's 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team. " Antia Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isn't one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.
The billionaires mentioned in the passage don't want to leave much of their wealth to their children because__________. A．they prefer to give their wealth to charity B．they want their business to go on healthily C．they believe too much wealth will harm their children D．they hope their children can make more money themselves
32、What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?__________. A．She has already given away about 25% of her wealth. B．She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth. C．She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids. D．She inherited most of her wealth from her parents.
33、 Buffett distinguishes himself for__________. A．his clear-cut position B．being strict with his children C．his talent in financial management D．being a giant in the stock market
34、According to Buffett's daughter, her father__________. A．refuses to lend her money B．wants her to invest in the Olympic Games C．never gives her more money than necessary D．always makes sure that she returns his money
35、It is implied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to__________. A．provide shelter for the poor B．build good fame C．avoid paying tax D．support their business 36、根据材料，完成36-41题。 第二篇 American Families In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover,children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care .for the children's emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent's own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

38、What problems Would broken families bring to both children and parents?__________. A．Children grow up feeling unsettled and parents didn't pay much attention to children. B．Children grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising the children. C．Children are moved back and forth between parents and the single parent is busy working to make money to support himself/herself. D．Children grow up feeling unsettled, and the parents have little time for his/her own interests because one parent is too busy taking care of children.
39、According to the author, the situations of American families in the future may__________. A．become worse B．remain the same C．get better D．keep unchanged

"What color is the sky?" I expect that you would answer, "Blue. "I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air. We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal. The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth.. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket. I am sure that you are asking. "How does a rocket fly? " If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through neck of the ball and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an airplane. This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.
What color is the sky?___________. A．It is blue. B．It is white.. C．It is grey. D．It has no color.
42、When an airplane flies too high,___________. A．the air will be too thin to support its wings B．the air will become thicker C．the air will exert pressure on it D．the air will disappear in no time
43、A rocket can fly to the moon because___________. A．it looks like a balloon B．it is much lighter than an airplane C．it doesn't have wings D．it works like an untied balloon
44、 Which of the following statements about a rocket is NOT true?___________. A．It can fly when there is no, air. B．It can fly without wings. C．It is made of strong metal. D．It is propelled by burning gas inside it.
45、 A rocket is pushed up into the air when ,___________.

It's so common that there are probably other kids in your class who do it. Most kids don't tell their friends, so it's easy to feel kind of alone, like you might be the only one on the whole planet who wets the bed. (46) The fancy name for bedwetting is nocturnal enuresis (夜间遗尿 ). Enuresis runs in families. This means that if you urinate, or pee, while you are asleep, there's a good chance that a close relative also did it when he or she was a kid. (47)The most important thing to remember is that no one wets the bed on purpose. It doesn't mean that you're lazy or a slob. (48) For some reason, kids who wet the bed are not able to feel that their bladder is full and don't wake up to pee in the toilet. Sometimes a kid who wet the bed will have a realistic dream that he's in the bathroom peeing--only to wake up later and discover he's all wet. Many kids who wet the bed are very deep sleepers. (49) Some kids who wet the bed do it every single night. Others wet some nights and are dry on other. A lot of kids say that they seem to be drier when they sleep at a friend's or a relative's house. (50) So the brain may be thinking, "Hey, you! Don't wet someone else's bed!" This can help you stay dry even if you're not aware of it.
请在第__(46)__处填上正确答案。 A．The good news is that almost all kids who wet the bed eventually stop. B．Trying to wake up someone who wets the bed is often like trying to wake a log--they just stay asleep. C．It's something you can't help doing. D．Just like you may have inherited your mom's blue eyes or your uncle's long legs, you probably inherited bedwetting, too. E．That's because kids who are anxious about wetting the bed may not sleep much or only very lightly. F．But you are not alone.

A country's standard of living, therefore (51) first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this (52) is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services"such as transport and entertainment. A country's capacity to (53) wealth depends upon many factors, most of (54) have an effect on one another. Wealth depends (55) a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals,and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate; other regions (56) none of them. Next to natural resources comes the ability to (57) them to use. China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years (58) civil and external wars. And for this and other (59) was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions and (60) from foreign invasions enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more (61) than another country equally well favored by nature but less well ordered. A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and (62) within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural (63) would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (过剩的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products (64) would otherwise be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore,much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, (65) that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
