An ordinary householder may wish to protect his home against fire or his property against burglary. A shop-keeper may wish to insure against theft. In normal cases, the company will check its statistics and quote a premium (保险费). If it is suspicious, it may refuse to quote. If it insures a shop and then receives a suspicious claim, it will investigate the claim as a means of protecting itself against false claims. It is not unknown for a businessman in debt to burn down his own premises (房产) so that he can claim much money from his insurance company. He can be sure that the fire will be investigated most carefully. Insurance companies also accept insurance against shipwreck or disaster in the air. Planes and ships are very expensive, so a large premium is charged, but a reduction is given to companies with an accident-free record.
Every week insurance companies receive premium payments from customers. These payments can form. a very large total running into millions of dollars. The company does not leave the money in the bank. It invests in property, shares, farms and even antique paintings and stamps. Its aim is to obtain the best possible return on its investment. This is not as greedy as it may seem, since this is one way by which it can keep its premiums down and continue to make a profit while being of service to the community.

A.A passenger by air will take less risk of being killed than a man crossing a busy road.
B.A passenger by air will take greater risk of being killed than a man crossing a busy road.
C.A passenger by air will have to pay more to the insurance company than a mountain climber.
D.A motorist should pay the highest price to the insurance company.
M: Of course yes. Every interviewer has his own particular interest. An HR manager might want to know if you are a good fit for the company, (22) the team leader of the office you are interviewing for might want to see your personality and if it fits with other colleagues, and a supervisor might be there to assess your skills.
W: It seems you do know a lot about it. Would you mind giving me some advice on how to handle it?
M: Well, being interviewed by a group of interviewers is really stressful and the company wants to know if you can handle it. So, (23) I'd suggest practising a group interview with friends beforehand. This could help you deal with the real stress. I believe you can turn the interview into a positive experience by being confident and having the right mindset.
W: Should I collect some information about the group?
M: This might possibly work. (25) But what really matters is how you fit the job. Make sure you fully understand the job description and what will be required of you.
W: How about the company profile?
M: You should also know how the company works, its culture, and how they are structured.
W: How should I make eye contact with the panel?
M: (24)Look directly at the person who asked you the question, but take the time to make eye contact with the other interviewers. However, your attention should be mainly focused on the person who posed you the question.

A.He wants to know if the interviewer is suitable for the company.
B.He wants to know the interviewer's personality.
C.He wants to know the interviewer's former colleagues.

It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.
Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may be the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transaction. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed.
Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.
Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer has been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just there commendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.
It can be concluded from the first paragraph that______.
A.it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today
B.computer crimes are very serious in the operation of financial institutions
C.computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detected
D.people commit computer crimes at the request of their company

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
People are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, without realizing that they're paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook, because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook -- you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things -- your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) , to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a "less satisfying experience."
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally flopped. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. "I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them," Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning. Which is why I'm considering deactivating (撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That is too high a price to pay.
62. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A.It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B.It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C.It profits by selling its users' personal data.
D.It provides loads of information to its users.
But the biotechnology industry is fighting back. Here's an advertisement produced by the Washington-based Council for Biotechnology Information. The biotech industry received a(n)【C7】______in April,【C8】______a National Academy of Sciences report【C9】______that GMO crops appear to be safe. GMO supporters called the report proof【C10】______fears of these crops are【C11】______, while critics called the report proof that the【C12】______risk of GMO crops are not【C13】______known.
Some companies are avoiding GMO crops in their products just to【C14】______the genetic-food fight【C15】______. Jim Schillinger of Iowa-based Whole Soy says his【C16】______of soy-based foods will not include genetically-engineered beans. Agriculture officials in the Midwest United States say it appears farmers are planting fewer【C17】______of GMO soybeans and corn this year, though they say this is probably a【C18】______situation until the controversy【C19】______A survey conducted by the Food Marketing Institute suggests 63-percent of American【C20】______are likely to buy genetically-engineered foods. That is down from 77-percent four years ago.
