1.Of the many problems in the world today, none is as widespread, or as old, as crime. Crime has many forms, including crimes against property, person, and government. Crime, in all its forms, penetrates every layer of society and touches every human being. You may never have been robbed, but you suffer the increased cost of store- bought items because of others’shoplifting.Your house is not worth as much today as it was a few years ago because of the increased crime rate in your neighborhood. Perhaps your business is not doing as well as it used to because tourism is down due to increased terrorism in your part of the world.Crime, especially violent crime, has risen to a point where many people are afraid to walk al one in their own neighborhoods, afraid to open their door after dark, afraid to speak out and voice their own opinions. Some citizens have reacted by arming themselves with various weapons, legal and illegal, to defend themselves. Citizen groups have taken the law into their own hands by forming their own vigilante groups to administer judgment when they feel that their criminal justice system has not performed its duty.Experts argue whether the number of crimes committed is actually on the rise or whether there is simply a rise in the number of crimes reported. This issue is particularly true in cases of marriage violence, the abuse of spouse or children. Throughout much of history, cases of family violence and neglect often went unreported because of the attitude of society, which considered family matters to be private.Other experts argue about who is really to blame for criminal behavior. the individual or society. Researchers in the United States and Canada have identified several factors in society that contribute to the crime rate: massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population. Other countries are more affected by factors such as politics, government corruption, and religion.(1)What does the passage mainly discuss?A、Crime the widespread problem.B、The results caused by increasing violent crime.C、Factors contributing to the crime rate.D、Citizen groups combating crimes.(2)The word shoplifting in line 4 is closest in meaning to _____________.A、the crime of lifting the banB、the crime of moving the shops awayC、the crime of robbing things from shopsD、the crime of stealing things from shops(3)Why does the author in Paragraph 2 mention citizen groups forming their own vigilante groups?A、To show the criminal justice system is not justB、To show citizens are powerful in combating crimesC、To show crime is a serious social problemD、To show citizens have rights in combating crimes(4)According to the passage, which of the following are the factors contributing to United States’criminal behavior?A、Politics, unemployment, poverty and a large immigrant population.B、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population.C、Politics, government corruption, poverty and religion.D、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and government corruption.(5)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A、Since you have never been robbed, you are not a victim of crime.B、Some people use illegal weapons to defend themselves.C、Only the individual should be responsible for the criminal behavior.D、Family violence and neglect are considered family matters, and therefore private, so they are not crimes.

  • 第2题:

    In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate. Most acts of violence were committed by young people. 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age.
    Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education,living without a settled home,being parentless,sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc.
    There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some not.Secondly, the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection. It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun. Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime, the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read.
    All these have resulted in a high frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug smuggling, robbery, etc.
    ?Besides bad material conditions, __________also leads to the sharp increase of crime rate.

    A.poverty
    B.being parentless
    C.lack of education
    D.easy access to guns

    答案:D

    根据第三段”the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection.”可知,由于宪法允许使用枪支,从而造成了不断增长的高犯罪率。由此可知除了不良的环境外,枪支的使用也催生了犯罪率的增长。

    What could be the most appropriate title for the passage?( )

    A.Cyber Crime and Its Prevention
    B.The Origin of Cyber Crime
    C.How to Deal with Cyber Crime
    D.The Definition of Cyber Crime

    答案:A
    解析:
    主旨题。本文第一、二段简要地描述了“网络空间”一词的起源并概述了互联网的发展,第三、四段主要讲述互联网的潜在风险,五至八段讲如何抵御风险。A项能较好地概括,其余三项都只描述了其中一个方面。因此A项作为文章标题更加恰当。故本题选A。参考译文:“网络空间”一词是由科幻作家威廉·吉布森提出的。1982年,他第一次在短篇小说中使用该词,几年后,在小说《神经漫游者》中,吉布森对其进行了扩展,小说的主角亨利·多塞特·凯斯是一名陷入困境的电脑黑客和吸毒者。吉布森在书中将网络空间描述为“数十亿合法运营商每天都在经历的交感的幻觉”,以及“从人类系统中每台计算机的数据库中提取的数据的图形展示”。事实证明,他的文学创作非常有先见之明。网络空间已经成为计算设备、网络、光纤电缆、无线连接和其他基础设施的象征,它们为全球数十亿人带来了互联网。这些技术形成的无数联系为所有每日使用网络来挖掘人类集体知识宝库的人带来了巨大好处。但是这项非凡的发明也有不好的一面。数据泄露变得越来越广泛,越来越普遍。去年,由于网络遭到攻击,超过8亿条记录丢失。最近最突出的受害者之一是美国大型零售商塔吉特百货,其首席执行官格雷戈·斯坦哈夫尔在披露黑客窃取了数百万客户的网络数据的几个月后,于5月辞职。这些数据包括信用卡和借记卡的详细信息。其他知名公司,如技术公司奥多比和在线市场易趣,也受到了冲击。然而,潜在的危害远不止这种商业入侵。美国国家安全局(NSA)承包商爱德华斯诺登(Edward Snowden)对西方情报机构大规模曝光监控录像,越来越多视网络空间为新战争领域的国家招募“互联网斗士”,引发了更广泛的担忧。保护网络空间是一件很难的事,因为互联网的架构是为了促进联通,而不是安全。发明互联网的人只考虑过可行性,并未考虑其可能受到的风险,因为它隶属美国军方。随着黑客的出现,人类从安装防毒软件到设置防火墙,想尽了办法试图阻止它们。总的来说,这些防御措施相当有效。尽管人们一直在谈论“网络9·11”风险,但事实证明,互联网具有很强的恢复力。数亿人每天打开电脑,进行网上交易,逛虚拟商店,在社交网络上与朋友交换八卦和照片,并在网上发送各种敏感数据,却不会产生不良影响。公司和政府正在转移越来越多的在线服务。但是任务变得越来越难了。涉及保护数据和人员的网络安全面临多重威胁,尤其是在网络犯罪和在线工业间谍活动方面。有很多方法可以让我们更加安全,一是确保组织获得网络安全的基础知识。很多情况往往是由简单的失误造成的,例如未能将包含敏感数据的系统与无需访问它们的系统分开。公司还需要更好地预测攻击可能来自哪里,并快速调整防御机制以应对新的威胁。技术也可以有所帮助,允许企业相互分享风险情报的行业举措也有所帮助。不仅如此,还需要采取激励措施加强网络安全。一种方法是鼓励互联网服务提供商或管理互联网连接的公司承担更多的责任来识别和帮助清理被恶意软件感染的计算机。另一种是找到方法,确保软件开发人员写出的代码缺陷更少,这样黑客可利用的安全漏洞就会更少。
