    A Tale of Two Cities

    　　One night in December 1757, Dr Manette, a young doctor in Paris, was walking by the Seine when he was stopped by two noblemen the Marquis of Evremonde brothers, and forced into a carriage(四轮马车) to visit two patients, a pretty girl about twenty and a peasant boy around seventeen, the girl's younger brother. Struck by(被……迷住) the beauty of the girl, the two noblemen had taken her by force and tortured(折磨) her husband to death. Her father had died in deep sorrow and her brother had come to take his revenge on(向……报仇) the two noblemen, but only fell another victim(受难者) by the younger nobleman's sword(剑). When the doctor arrived there, the girl was obviously mad, keeping shouting and crying. The boy was dying of a sword wound, yet refused the doctor's check and treatment(治疗). He died soon, and so did his sister later. When the doctor returned home, he wrote a letter to the Minister accusing(控告) the two noblemen of killing the innocent(无辜的). But, unfortunately, the letter fell into the hands of the two noblemen. The next day Dr Manette was kidnapped(绑架) and thrown into the Bastille secretly.

                                                              Passwords are no safeguards
          Typing your password or credit card number into a computer is a moment's work. But if you think your
    personal details disappear as soon as you hit the Return key, think again: they can sit on the computer's hard
    disk for years waiting for a hacker (黑客) to take them.
          As people spend more time on the web and hackers become more experienced, the dangers of storing
    personal information on computers are growing by the day, security experts say. There are some safe-guards,
    such as never allowing your computer to store your passwords. But even that in no guarantee of security.
          When you type in a password, it is stored in random access memory (RAM), where it is held temporarily
    until other data overwrites it or the computer is switched off. 
          But every so often, the computer copies the contents of its RAM onto hard disk, where it is easy to prey
    (捕获) for a hacker, who can read it directly or design a worm to e-mail it back. The longer sensitive data
    stays in RAM, the more likely it is to be copied onto the disk, where it stays until it is overwritten-which might
    not happen for years.
          Tal Garfinkel and colleagues from Stanford University have created a software tool which simulates (模拟)
    the workings of a complete computer system. Within the simulation, sensitive data can be tagged and then
    tracked as it passes through the system. Next, Garfinkel and his team simulated computers running common
    software that regularly handles passwords or secret personal information, such as Internet Explorer, the
    Windows login script and Apache server software.
          In a paper to be presented, they conclude that the programs took no measures to limit the length of time
    the information is kept. Some of the tested software even copied the sensitive information, obviously without
    restraint (阻拦).
    1. What does the passage mainly talk about?
    [     ]
    A. It's important to set passwords to your computer.
    B. Passwords help keep your personal information.
    C. It's unsafe to store personal information on computers.
    D. There are some safeguards for your personal information.
    2. Hackers usually get others' information from _____.
    [     ]
    A. RAM
    B. the hard disk
    C. a worm
    D. the e-mail
    3. Garfinkel and his colleagues created a software tool to _____.
    [     ]
    A. find out how hackers steal personal information
    B. protect personal information from being stolen
    C. see how a complete computer system works
    D. tag and track sensitive data on the computer
    4. Talking about computer safety, which of the following the writer would probably suggest?
    [     ]
    A. People should stop using computers.
    B. Hackers should be heavily punished.
    C. Better computer programs are needed.
    D. Program developers are to blame.

    第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分.满分40分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    A

    When I was four years old，I broke my elbow. After many weeks in a cast (石膏) I returned to the hospital to finally have it removed. My mother found it strange that I was so enthusiastic about returning to the place where I had experienced so much pain. Yet she soon discovered my fas??cination with the healing process and how doctors helped to enhance it.

    I was in fear as the doctor removed my cast and asked me to move my arm，and immediately became scared as the pain came shooting back through my elbow. After another series of X-rays and examinations my arm was put into a new cast I had begun to doubt the reliability of the doctor，and my mother thought I would be unwilling to return a second time.

    When the day came to have my cast removed again，I was nervous. Yet I was optimistic enough to trust the doctor as he once again removed my cast and asked me to move my arm. And this time it was better! Nothing hurt!

    On the way back home I released (松开) my mother's hand and ran ahead，and out of her sight. She was immedi??ately worried that I would come upon someone dangerous. At the age of four I was already known for liking to talk with strangers that I felt were potential friends. When she caught sight of me again， I was looking up into the face of an old broken-legged man，saying，“Don't worry，sir! The doctor will fix your leg. Look how he fixed my arm！” 

    Since then I have continued to be fascinated with the human body and medicine. I also still love to help people，and never miss an opportunity to encourage someone. But most of all，I still believe that optimism and trust are the building blocks of happiness and success. Many things can change，but I am proud to say that these parts of me have always stayed the same.
