In today’s world, we rely on computers as never before. They are used for everything from ordering a pizza to running hospitals and military defense systems. Banking and credit card information is stored and accessed by computers. So what happens when a computer gets infected with a virus? One effect is that people’s access to their e-mail accounts is cut off. A more serious possible consequence is that billions of dollars could be lost. A virus is a computer program that copies itself onto other programs and infects them. Similar to an easily spread disease, a computer virus goes from computer to computer, either adding to or changing the tasks a program is designed to do. The first computer viruses were created in the mid’80s and had varying effects. Some caused files to be deleted, or made the letters on the screen appear to fall off. Others displayed a specific message once the computer was turned on. Viruses today are much more widespread and dangerous than ever before. Perhaps the most damaging has been the “I Love You” virus. “I Love You” appeared in May 2000 and has possibly been the most destructive virus in terms of monetary loss. The virus is released（释放） when an attachment（附件） to a fake e-mail message is opened. By changing the names of files on computers, “I Love You” makes them difficult to access. It also searches for important personal information, including passwords, which it sends to a Web site for others to see. It is estimated that more than 45 million people in 20 countries have had their computers infected by the “I Love You” virus. Some say the cost of repair and lost business has been more than US$10 billion. If you own a computer, it is important to keep it in good health by installing（安装） an anti-virus program. If updated frequently, it will protect your e-mail access-----not to mention your wallet. 51. What does “virus” mean in the article? A. An easily spread disease. B. A contagious (传染的) computer program. C. An extremely small organism（微生物）which causes disease. D. A parasite（寄生虫）in computer. 52. How dose “I Love You” virus spread? A. It is spread when an e-mail account is opened. B. It is spread through on-line chatting. C. It is spread through e-mail. D. It spread from web site to web site. 53. Which of the following is one of the damages brought by “I Love You” virus? A. It deletes files. B. It automatically turns on computers. C. It automatically turns off computers. D. It makes it difficult to access files. 54. Which of the following is the best way to guard against virus? A. To load an up-to-date anti-virus program into our computer. B. Not to use an e-mail account. C. To upgrade our computer. D. Not to use the Internet. 55. What is the purpose of the article? A. To warn us against virus. B. To remind us the importance of being healthy. C. To stress the importance of computer. D. To alert us to economic loss.

Zhoukoudian is a small village situated about 50 kilometers to the southwest of Beijing. In the 1920s, archaeologists discovered some prehistoric human bones there which changed people’s view of China’s history. They came from an unknown species of man and were the first evidence of human life in China thousands of years ago. The remains were three teeth! In 1929, a complete skull was also discovered. Eventually, archaeologist found almost 200 items, including six skulls and more than 150 teeth. These discoveries proved the existence of a human species who lived in the area between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago. Four sites where Beijing Man and his relatives lived were discovered on the northern face of Longgushan. They lived in the caves in the area. However, the life span of Beijing Man was short. About 70% of the peole probably died before the age of 14. Fewer than 5% lived to the age of 50. Ashes were found alongside the fossils which showed they had used fire for cooking food and also for light, warmth, and protection against wild animals. This is the earliest evidence of the use of fire anywhere in the world. They also made tools of bones and stones. Unfortunately, when Japan invaded（侵略） China in 1937, excavations（挖掘） at the Beijing Man Site stopped and most of the fossils disappeared, including a Beijing Man skull. After the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949, the work started again. Zhoukoudian was listed as a World Heritage Site in December 1987. It has not only given us important information about prehistoric Asian societies, but also provided amazing evidence about the process of evolution. Today, parts of the caves have been badly affected by rain. Some areas are almost completely covered in weeds, causing serious damage. Pollution from the nearby factories has also contributed to the problem. This is a very serious matter and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to raise public awareness of it. 46. Archaeologists _________________. A. thought that Zhoukoudian was a beartiful village B. thought that the findings in Zhoukoudian wouldn’t change the history of China C. discovered some prehistoric human bounes in Zhoukoudian D. thought that the findings in Zhoukoudian are the first evidence of human life in Asia 47. Beijing Man used fire to do all of the following things EXCEPT _______________. A. light in the dark B. keep warm C. make tools D. scare wild animals away 48. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The digging was delayed by the Japanese invasion in the 1930s. B. These ancient Chinese were the first people to use fire in daily life. C. Some valuable things excavated from the site are still missing. D. The digging of Zhoukoudian is famous and is well-funded（得到很好的资助）. 49. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The digging of Zhoukoudian is still under way. B. Zhoukoudian plays an important part in the study of prehistoric societies. C. Zhoukoudian is a World Heritage Site. D.

Beijing Man had a short life C. Beijing Man lived in the caves of Longgushan D. arvhaeologists found six complete skulls and more than 150 teeth in 1929.

Chiang Mai zoo director Thanapath said eight-year-old female Lin Hui gave birth to a baby panda weighing about 200 grams. The pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, the zoo’s star residents(居民), had shown no interest in reproducing the traditional way since they both arrived on a 10-year loan from China in 2003. The zoo workers’ effort of artificial insemination(人工授精) worked. The baby panda will officially belong to China but Thailand will raise it for about 24 months, Thanapath said. Thanapath said Lin Hui is very protective of her child and won’t allow any officials to get close. “She holds the baby very carefully.” he said. “She knows how to be a mother even though she has never been one before.” The baby panda appears to be getting along well with its much larger mother. The birth appeared on the front pages of many Thai newspapers, which carried photos of the baby which is so tiny that it can be held in the hands of a zoo keeper. Other pictures showed the mother Lin Hui gently holding her baby. Thanapath said, “It is great happiness to see the baby panda.We are so happy that we can breed（繁殖）a panda.

The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled—to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖). Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid(出价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention. When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled(敲槌)the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son. The poor-quality painting didn’t receive any bidders, except one old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid. As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over. 51. The English Baron Fitzgerald was___________.

We know the kiss as a form of expressing love. But long before it became , it was customary in many countries to use it as an expression of respect. Some native Africans kiss the ground over which a chief has walked. Kissing the hand and foot has been a mark of respect from the earliest times. The early Romans kissed the mouth or eyes as a form of noble greeting. One Roman emperor allowed his important nobles to kiss his lips, but the less important ones had to kiss his hands, and the least important ones were only allowed to kiss his feet! Most likely the kiss as a form of affection can date back to ancient times when a mother would touch her child gently, just as a mother does today. It only remained for society to accept this as a custom for expressing affection between arms. The first society where the kiss became accepted in marriage was in France. From France the kiss spread rapidly all over Europe. As marriage customs developed, the kiss became a part of the wedding ceremony. Today we regard it as an expression of love and tenderness. But there are still many places in the world where the kiss is part of formal ceremonies and is intended to show respect. 46. According to the passage, kiss was earlier used as _________. A. a custom B. an expression of love C. an expression of respect D. an expression of power 47. How did the early Romans show their greeting? A. They would kiss the lips. B. They kissed other’s hands. C. Feet would be kissed to show their greeting. D. They would kiss mouth or eyes. 48. What does the underlined word “affection” mean? A. respect B. love C. honor D. worry 49.

The different meanings of kiss from the ancient times to present days. C. How to kiss each other in different countries.
