Key

56.C由短文第一段末句可知。57.B根據(jù)短文第二段第二句話可知。

58.A根據(jù)短文第二段最后兩句Thismanwascaughtonlybecausehe

wasagambler.Whenthepolicebrokeupanillegalgamblingoperation,

hisnamewasintherecords可以看出，在紐約市某銀行的總出納員計(jì)算

機(jī)犯罪被暴露，是由于他的名字在破獲的非法賭博的記錄中被發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

59.D這是一道結(jié)論方面的問題。全文敘述了竊賊用計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪的情況,

我們再根據(jù)短文最后一段中一位官員所說的“Ihaveafeelingthatthere

ismorecrimeouttherethanwearecatching.Whatweareseeingnowis

allsopoorlydone.Iwonderwhattherealexpertsaredoing-theones

whoreallyknowhowacomputerwords”,就可以得出將會有更多的真正

的計(jì)算機(jī)專家所引起的計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪的結(jié)論。

60.B文章中談到的Michael是想象出來的，但他的生活方式在今天的

電腦時(shí)代是存在的。

61.D選項(xiàng)A、B、C在文中都可找到具體內(nèi)容。

62.A文章中談到了B、C選項(xiàng)的事情，接下來作者最有可能談A項(xiàng)中

的事情，文章中主要談現(xiàn)代科技對個(gè)人生活方式的種種影響，故排除

Do

63.B文章第一自然段提到Theinventionsofmoderntechnologyseemto

becuttingusofffromcontactwithourfellowhumanbeings,此句為全文

的中心，故最佳答案為B。

64.Coone=mix,故選C。

65.D根據(jù)導(dǎo)數(shù)的二段可知答案。66.B第二段第二句與B吻合。

67.A第五段第二句有暗示。

68.D敏感話題”是這篇文章的中心內(nèi)容。touchy表示“難以處理的；易

發(fā)火的

69.C愛好為無關(guān)緊要的閑談，可以把對方輕輕松松地引入正題。

70.C雙方不熟悉便問對方“為什么是單身?”顯然不禮貌。

71.C這是考詞意，只有too具有“太，過于”之意。

72.B此題是給NoahArkProject定義，見第一段，故選B。

73.A文中第六段首句話中提到。

74.C主旨題，全文各段均圍繞如何挽救panda而展開論述。

75.D此題為細(xì)節(jié)確認(rèn)，見第三段首句。
