5．Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited．Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits．
If fact，it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission？It might be a spouse，a girlfriend，a marketing company，a boss，a cup or a criminal．Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-21st century is the equal of being caught naked．
Psychologists tell us boundaries（dividing line） are healthy，and that it's important to reveal yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times．But few boundaries remain．The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like．In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think．Like it or not，increasingly  we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret．The key question is：Does that matter？
When opinion polls（民意測(cè)驗(yàn)）ask Americans about privacy，most say they are concerned about losing it．a(chǎn) survey found an overwhelming（very large）pessimism about privacy，with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away，and that bothers me．"
But people say one thing and do another．Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort t protect their privacy．Few people turn down a tollbooths（收費(fèi)站）to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements．And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards．Privacy economist Alissanfro Acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cent-off coupon（優(yōu)惠券）．
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes．It's like health； when you have it，you don't notice it．Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it．

63．What would psychologists advise on the relationship between friends？C
A．Friends should open their hearts to each other．
B．Friends should always be faithful to each other
C．There should be a distance even between friends
D．There should be fewer quarrels between friends．
64．Why does the author say"we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"？B
A．Modern society has finally developed into an open society
B．People leave traces around when using modern technology
C．There are always people who are curious about other's affairs
D．Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities
65．What do most Americans do about privacy protection？D
A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
B．They use various loyalty cards for business deals．
C．They rely more and more on electronic devices
D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it．
66．According to the passage，privacy is like health becauseD．
A．people will make every effort to keep it
B．its importance is rarely understood
C．it is something that can easily be lost
D．people don't value it until they lose it．

13．Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene（基因） is complete．Couple of years ago，this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day，when the human being will be cloned，is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument，in terms of morality or religion．
    Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial，among many cases，it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning．If the clone was free of genetic limitations．then the other clone would be as well．The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term．Moreover，cloning would enable women，who can't get pregnant，to have children of their own．
    Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned，so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs．This，surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single （or more） organ （s）．It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists．
    Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side．Primarily，I believe that cloning would step in the normal"cycle"of life．There would be a large number of same genes，which reduce the chances of improvement，and，in turn，development-the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment．Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance．Furthermore，cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear．Thus，leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and，chances are，that those individuals would be regarded as"objects"rather than people in the society．
    Scientists haven't 100 per cent．guaranteed that the first cloned humans will be normal．Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human"gene-pool"．
    Regarding such arguable topics in"black or white"approach seems very innocent to me personally．We should rather try to look at all"shades"of it．I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs； not humans．Then we could regard this as for"saving life"instead of"creating life"．I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．
67．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women．
B．A large number of genes will prevent us from developing．         
C．Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists．
D．First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists．
68．What's the author's opinion on cloning？D
A．Cloning should be entirely banned．
B．Cloning should be used in creating life．
C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce．
D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs．
69．Where can you read this article？B
A．In a story book．        
B．In a magazine．
C．In a science fiction．   
D．In a brochure．
70．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？A．

20．Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way．
Film cameras
After all，a film camera is basically a light-proof （不透光的） box．It has a lens （鏡頭） system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera．
Let's suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog．We are using a film camera．We finally get the dog to lie still．You point the camera at him．What happens？Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter．In other words，nothing happens yet．Now let's say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture．What happens？When you press the button，the shutter open for a very short period of time．A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera．This creates an upside-down and reversed （反向的）image on the film．
    When you finish the roll of the film，you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!
    Cameras come with different lens lengths．Why does it matter？Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths，which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera．This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of．Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger．They are often called telephoto lenses．A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them．
Digital cameras
    In digital cameras，the light falls not on film but onto a sensor （傳感器）called a CCD （Charge Coupled Device）．This digitally converts（轉(zhuǎn)變） light and colour into a digital information or pixels （象素）．The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part----depending on how good it is．
67．Which of the following statements is TRUE？C
A．Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film．
B．All cameras have a sensor．
C．Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common．．
D．Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths．
68．In the"Film cameras"part，you fail to take the picture of the dog becauseC．
A．light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter
B．you haven't aimed the camera at the dog
C．the image of the dog is not created
D．the sensor fails to convert light and colour into a digital information
69．The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is thatD．
A．they use digital cameras                              
B．the lens of their cameras is excellent
C．their focus lenses are short                        
D．their focus lenses are long
70．Generally speaking，a digital camera's price isA．
A．closely related to the quality of the CCD
B．irrelevant to the quality of the CCD
C．closely related to the lens
D．irrelevant to the lens．

10．We typically associate the word"science"with a person in a white coat doing experiments in a laboratory．Ideally，experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences； but in practice this is not usually the case．The are at least three reasons for this．
1．Human scientists are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiment．
2．The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal．
3．There are moral reasons for not conducting experiments that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them．
Faced with the above difficulties，what are human scientists to do？One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions．We can，for example，learn something about how a normal brain functions by looking at people who have suffered brain damage； and we can gain some understanding into the roles played by genes and the environment by studying twins，who have been separated at birth and brought up in different families．In the case of economics，economic history can provide us with a bank of-admittedly not very well-controlled-experimental data．
However，human scientists do not just sit around waiting for natural experiments to arise．They also think of some experiments of their own．Suppose you want to know how a baby sees the world．We cannot，of course，ask the baby since it has not yet learnt to speak．So it might seem that all we can do is guess．People usually won't change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones．This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind．There was now a way of testing babies'expectations and getting some idea of how they are six months old，babies can already do the following things：figuring out that objects consist of parts that move together being aware of the difference between living and non-living things and even doing simple arithmetic work．

60．What is true about the natural sciences and the human sciences according to this passage？C
A．Both human scientists and natural scientists can run controlled experiments．
B．Experiments done by human scientists and natural scientists are artificial．
C．Both human and natural science experiments should be of the same importance．
D．It's not moral to conduct human science experiments．
61．What do we know about human scientists from this passage？D
A．They are white coat scientists．
B．They have more experimental sources than natural scientists．
C．They conduct experiments passively．
D．They face more difficulties in carrying out their research．
62．Which of the following experiments belongs to human science experiment？C
A．Vinegar Volcano Vinegar and baking soda make．for a fun and easy science experiment．Try creating a vinegar volcano．
B．  Taste Without Smell  Put your senses to the test with this simple experiment that shows the importance of your sense of smell．
C．Lung Function Observe your breath and confirm your lung volume by completing this experiment．
D．Make a Rainbow Use sunlight and water to make your own rainbow with this cool experiment that will teach kids how rainbows work while they enjoy a fun activity
63．What does the author tell us in this passage？C
A．ABCs about the science experiment．
B．Some knowledge of science．
C．Some differences between the human sciences and the natural sciences．

17．Are  morning people  born or made？In my case it was definitely made．In my early 20s，I rarely went to bed before midnight，and I would almost always get up late the next morning．
But after a while I couldn't ignore the high relationship between success and rising early．On those rare occasions where I did get up early，I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher．So I set out to become a habitual early riser．But whenever my alarm went off，my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep．Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy．
The most common wrong strategy is this：You assume that if you're going to get up earlier，you'd better go to bed earlier．It sounds very reasonable，but will usually fail．
There are two main schools（流派） of thought on sleep patterns．One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day．The second school says you should go to bed when you're tired and get up when you naturally wake up．However，I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity．If you sleep at set hours，you'll sometimes go to bed when you aren't sleepy enough．You're wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep．
If your sleep is based on what your body tells you，you'll probably be sleeping more than you need．Also，your mornings may be less predictable if you're getting up at different times．
The solution for me has been to combine both methods．I go to bed when I'm sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time．So I always get up at the same time （in my case 5am），but I go to bed at different times every night-sometimes at 9：30pm，and other times at midnight．Most of the time I go to bed between 10-11pm．
However，going to bed only when I'm sleepy，and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way．If you want to become an early riser，you can try your own．

60．According to the passage，the underlined phrase refers toB．
A．people who stay up until the next morning．
B．people who get up early in the morning．
C．people who feel sleepy in the morning．
D．people whose productivity is the highest in the morning．
61．Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser？B
A．Because he/she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early．
B．Because he/she had found that his/her productivity was higher when he/she got up
early．
C．Because he/she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep
patterns was right．
D．Because he/she was told the high relationship between success and rising early．
62．The author experienced all the following EXCEPTD．
A．going to bed after midnight          
B．getting up early occasionally
C．pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping
D．a(chǎn)sking scholars for advice on sleeping habits
63．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．how to become an early riser         
B．how to have good sleep
C．wrong strategies for getting up early
D．main schools of thought on sleep patterns．
