| 第3题： {{B}}Passage One{{/B}} TheBusiness SoftwareAlliance, a software industry trade association, estimates that there are 840 000 Internet sites selling illegal software as genuine product. Many consumers Who acquire software over the Internet never receive the programs they paid for. Others are not able to get their money back if they discover that the software they acquired is counterfeit.Disreputable Internet businesses often quickly vanish, leaving behind hundreds of dissatisfied consumers. The ease of creating a Website and then advertising and distributing software through the Internet has increased sales of pirated software passed off by seemingly legitimate businesses. Plus, the explosive growth of e-commerce, combined with anonymity (匿名) and unlimited volume, have made it even easier for criminals to sell counterfeit (伪造的) software online. Illegal online businesses often have professional-looking Internet sites that could fool even the smartest consumer.Distinguishing counterfeit software on the Internet is understandably difficult because consumers can’t visually examine the product for physical Warnings on the hard ware, or see the person from whom they’re buying. Pirated software can often contain viruses with the potential to damage both individual com puters or entire networks. Viruses can and do cause data loss, which would be devastating to most companies. When using unlicensed software, you are not eligible for technical support from the software publisher. If you have a technical issue in need of resolution, oftentimes a work stopping issue, you are out of luck. In addition, product upgrades (升级)—less expensive up grades of existing products—are not available to you. Based onBusiness SoftwareAlliance estimates, the current loss of jobs, wages, and critical investments in software and technology innovation worldwide due to piracy so far this year is estimated at: ＄11 326 675 282. "Software piracy continues unabated (不减弱的), robbing the industry of thousands of jobs, billions in wages, tax revenues and critical investments in new technologies," according to Robert Holleyman, president andCEO,Business SoftwareAlliance. |

| 第5、6、7、8、9题：By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of common citizens in the United States. As the time went on, ice was used in hotels, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861~1865), it came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and one third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, an earlier form of the modern refrigerator, had been invented. Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat was undeveloped. The common sense that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting (融化) was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. However, early efforts to save ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors find the ways needed for an efficient icebox. But as early as 1803, a Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right way. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would refuse to buy the rapidly melting butter of the other farmers to pay a higher price for his butter, the butter still fresh and hard. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool. 46. This passage is mainly about ______________. A. the importance of the icebox in the mid-nineteenth century B. the development and improvement of the icebox C. how to make an efficient icebox D. an important invention of a Maryland farmer 47. In paragraph 1, the word “forward-looking”(line 3) probably means ___________. A. greedy B. generous C. longing for greater profit D. having modem ideas 48. It can be inferred from the passage that after 1880 ____________. A. ice began to be widely used in hospitals and hotels B. ice began to affect the diet of common citizens in America C. many American families had the icebox D. one third of the ice sold in America went to families for their own use 49. In the early 19th century, most people believed that ____________. A. it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling B. the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting C. to wrap the ice in blankets would keep the ice from doing its job D. they lacked knowledge of the physics of heat 50. Customers would like to buy Thomas Moore’s butter because _______________. A. his butter was fresh and hard B. his butter was transported to market at night C. his butter was rapidly melting D. the price of his butter was lower |
