Section B(5 marks)
　　In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 statements. Go over the passage quickly and mark the answers on the Answer Sheet. For Questions 56-60, mark T(for TRUE) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; F (for FALSE) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage.
　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following advertisement. 题目图片

　　New York is a great city for shopping. Its shops (or stores as they say in the USA) sell everything. In fact, New York’s stores are a very important tourist attraction—like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building but it is possible to enjoy them without spending a cent. The department stores and the specialist stores which sell food and other things from all over the world are exciting and interesting just to look at. Like all big cities, different parts of New York have different kinds of stores. Uptown Manhattan is really expensive—if you want to buy a painting by Picasso, go there. Midtown Manhattan also has some very expensive department stores, selling clothes and jewellery to rich New Yorkers. In Downtown Manhattan—Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy—you can find small clothes stores, bookstores and “specialist” stores—or example a shop which only sells socks, or one with a hundred kinds of tea!
　　The best time to go shopping is early in the morning in the week. On Saturday and Sunday the stores are full of people. Most stores only close on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. On all the other days, the big stores are open from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The Downtown stores close later—between 8:00 p.m. and midnight. Remember, if you visit New York, take your credit cards!

Section C (10 marks)
Read the passage carefully to find the answers for Questions 66 to 70. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.
　　Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.
　　In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” Also, they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions are “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money, but they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal. 题目图片

　　Computer criminals don’t use guns, and even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it：it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.
Some employees use the computer’s power to get revenge on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal, rather than her professional, life. She was given thirty days notice. In those thirty days, she erased all the firm’s computerized records.
　　Most computer criminals are minor employees. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all se poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who know how computers really work.”
Questions:

Why do many banks believe transactions done via the computer are safe?

What was the bank teller’s excuse each time a customer complained about an incorrect balance in his or her account?

What did the computer-tape librarian have to do thirty days after she received notice from her company?

What kind of computer criminals do the police find difficult to catch?

Sometimes an unfairly-treated employee will use the computer to ______ on his employer.

Section D(10 marks)
　　In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary.For Questions 71 to 75, please read the passage carefully and complete each space in the summary using a maximum of three words from the passage.Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.
　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. 题目图片

　　______The first step in stopping drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs.The reasons people abuse drugs are as different (as people are) from one another.But it seems to be one common threat.People seem to take drugs to change the way they feel.They want to feel better or to feel happy or to feel nothing.Sometimes they want to forget or to remember.People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs.But the effects don’t last long.Drugs don’t solve problems.They just postpone them.No matter how far drugs may take you, it’s always a round trip.After a while people who misuse drugs may feel worse about themselves and then they will use more and more drugs.If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help.The most important part you can play is to be there.You can let your friends know that you care; you can listen and try to solve problems behind your friend’s need to use drugs.Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone.Studies of heavy drug users in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted.They didn’t have close friends to talk to.When you or your friend take time to care for each other you will all help to stop drug users.
　　Summary:
　　Each drug user has his or her own reason.By taking drugs, they are able to change the way they feel.They want to feel better or to feel 　1　.Most drug users feel that nobody love them and they are 　2　in the society.But the friends’ 　3　is the most important factor for the users to 　4　drugs.You can let your friend know that you care for him or her, you can help to 　5　the problem.
