| 第1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4题：It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problem—and that they lack sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and musiC、This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepte D、So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group.But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog; you cannot win but at least you keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control.But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. The author says "they are possessive and dominant" chiefly in order to illustrate ______. A、children’s weakness in dealing with the relationship between them and their parents B、parents are responsible for the misunderstandings C、the misunderstandings will also remain in spite of people’s efforts to make improvement D、children’s complaints about their parents |
