PART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)

Directions:

In

this

part

of

the

test,

there

are

five

short

passages.

Read

each

passage

carefully,

and

then

do

the

questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding

letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Headphones used with MP3 digital music players like the iPod may interfere with heart pacemakers

（起搏器）

and implantable defibrillators

（除颤器）

, U.S. researchers said.

The MP3 players themselves posed no threat to pacemakers and defibrillators, used to normalize heart rhythm. But

strong little magnets inside the headphones can foul up the devices if placed within 1.2 inches of them, the researchers

told an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans.

Dr.

William

Maisel of

the

Medical

Device

Safety

Institute

in

Boston

led

a

team

that

tested eight

models of

MP3

player headphones, including clip-on and ear-plug types, in 60 defibrillator and pacemaker patients.

They placed the headphones on the patients' chests, directly over the devices. The headphones interfered with the

heart devices in about a quarter of the patients

--

14 of

the 60 -- and interference was twice as likely in those with a

defibrillator than with a pacemaker.

Another study presented at the meeting showed that cellular phones equipped with wireless technology known as

Bluetooth are unlikely to interfere with pacemakers.

A pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to speed up or slow heart rhythm. The magnet, however, could

make it deliver a signal no matter what the heart rate is, the researchers said.

An

implantable defibrillator

signals

the

heart

to

normalize

its

rhythm

if

it

gets

too

fast

or slow. A

magnet

could

de-activate it, making it ignore an abnormal heart rhythm instead of delivering an electrical shock to normalize it.

The devices usually go back to working the right way after the headphones are removed, the researchers said.

main

message

here

is:

it's

fine

for patients

to

use

their

headphones

normally,

meaning

they can

listen

to

music and keep the headphones in their ears. But what they should not do is put the headphones near their device,

Maisel said in a telephone interview.

So that means people with pacemakers or defibrillators should not place the

headphones in a shirt pocket or coat

pocket near the chest when they are not being used, and should not place them over their chest or have others who are

wearing headphones rest their head on the patient's chest, Maisel said.

51. How can MP3 digital music players hinder pacemakers and defibrillators?

A. MP3 players can interfere with heart pacemakers and defibrillators.

B. The magnets inside the headphones can interfere with pacemakers and defibrillators.

3

C. The loud music beats pose a threat to pacemakers and defibrillators.

D. MP3 players are placed too close to pacemakers and defibrillators.

52. Dr. William Maisel’s tests showed that ________.

A. headphones had interference with the heart devices in every patient

B. half of the models of MP3 player headphones had interference with heart devices

C. headphones had much stronger interference with a defibrillator than with a pacemaker

D. headphones had much stronger interference with a pacemaker than with a defibrillator

53. Bluetooth is mentioned as an example of cell phones that________.

A. have little interference with the heart devices

B. are used in the tests in Dr. William Maisel’s study

C. are equipped with wireless technology

D. will replace the MP3 player headphones

54. The magnets inside the headphones can cause problems by ________.

A. sending out electrical shock to damage hearts

B. sending out signals to make hearts beat too slow

C. sending out signals to make hearts beat too fast

D. making the heart devices malfunction

55. People with pacemakers or defibrillators should ________.

A. never use MP3 digital music players

B. not use MP3 headphones

C. not use the headphones near their hearts

D. put the headphones in a pocket when they are not being used

56. The writer’s purpose in writing this article is to ________.

A. report the effects of cell phones on hearts

B. warn people not to use modern gadgets

C. compare different headphone products

D. inform people of the safe use of MP3 players

Passage Two

Cyber crime

is

likely

to bring

about

as

much destruction

as

the

credit

crisis

in

the coming years

if

international

regulation is not improved, some of the world's top crime experts said. Damage caused by cyber crime is estimated at

$$100 billion annually, said Kilian Strauss, of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Strauss

told

Reuters,

adding

more

Internet

experts

were

needed

to

investigate and tackle cyber crime.

Criminal

organizations

are

exploiting

a

regulatory

vacuum

to commit

Internet

crimes

such

as computer

and

Economic Crime conference in Frankfurt.

years to come, a cyber crisis equivalent to the current financial crisis,

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, said.

Internet crime is also a threat

to national security, they said. Several countries, including the United States, have

voiced concern over some hackers’ abilities to electronically spy on them and disrupt computer networks.

Calls for greater regulation of the

Internet come at a time of regulatory renaissance, with policymakers looking to

support the powers of financial sector watchdogs in the wake of the global financial crisis.

nature of identity-related crime, and especially of cyber-crime, if we do not tackle the crime everywhere we will not solve

it anywhere,

The President of Interpol, Khoo Boon Hui, said increasingly highly technological gangs from Asia, Eastern Europe

and Africa were coming up with ever more sophisticated ways of

swindling

money from vulnerable people. He also said

there was a trend of company bosses being bribed by fraudsters claiming to have guilty evidence about their firms.

Strauss,

who

works

as

Senior

Program

Officer

at

the

Office

of

the

Coo

rdinator

of

OSCE

Economic

and

Environmental activities, said Internet crime watchdogs could learn a lot from criminals willing to switch sides.

57. The main idea of the passage is that ________.

A. cyber crime is as destructive as the credit crisis in the coming years

B. damage caused by cyber-crime is very serious and will get worse

58. According to Kilian Strauss, ________.

B. if cyber criminals will cooperate with the police, they can be helpful

C. Internet crime watchdogs will make cyber criminals shift grounds

D. international organizations can solve the problems of cyber crime

Passage Three

It’s

hard

to know

who

to

trust

these days.

When

we see

people staging

protests

we

think,

Wow!

These

folks

are

passionate about their cause

–

otherwise, why would they stand in the rain for hours? But sometimes it’s a show: You

and even your Congressman may have been raised to power by manipulative marketers who pay serious money to hire

protesters.

It’s a mean trick. Let’s say you want to stage a political rally, but you just can’t find enough people for a good turnout.

What you need are folks with lots of time on their hands, who can be persuaded to make a fuss over almost anything.

Solution: Head down to a homeless shelter and take out cash.

No joke

–

hiring the homeless is catching on. Last October, a Georgia activist pushing a state law to crack down

on

illegal immigrants paid 14 homeless men $$10 each to hold signs and march around. It worked. People thought the rally

was genuine

–

a local radio station even broadcast it live. But listeners had no idea this was just a crowd for hire.

Pay for rage

works

–

the homeless get a little income and the lobbying group gets a crowd. The only losers are

citizens

and

the

media,

who

think

the

whole

show

is

legitimate.

After

a

Phoenix

TV

station

recently

noticed

rallies

featuring the homeless, they asked some of the protesters, who were holding signs about a local labor dispute, what they

were upset about. Many had no idea. ―All we do is stand out here and hold the signs,‖ said one.

Some bold organizers

have

been

known

to

―borrow‖ people’s

names.

In

one case

a

few

y

ears

ago,

members of

Congress were swamped with telegrams about a telecom bill. But some constituents were confused when they got phone
