You have 30 minutes for this part.Answer all questions about the information in a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage.For example, Read the following passage:The World Wide Web is a hypertext-based system for finding and accessing Internet resources; it is a set of programs, standards, and protocols governing the way in which multimedia files are created and displayed on the Internet. It can provide access to a variety of Internet resources from the same interface, including FTP, Gopher and Usenet newsgroups in addition to WWW sites.

Three of the four options—multimedia, communication andpublishing—appear in the given passage. Therefore, you should choose AnswerC.Now read the following passages.Passage 1Y ou can think of the World Wide Web as a network of electronic files stored on computers all around the world. Hypertext links these resources together. Uniform Resource Locators or URLs are the addresses used to locate these files. The information contained in a URL gives you the ability to jump from one web page to another with just a click of your mouse. When you type a URL into your browser or click on a hypertext link, your browser is sending a request to a remote computer to download a file.What does a typical URL look like? Here are two examples:/The home page for studying English.ftp:///pub/A directory of files at MIT available for downloading.The first part of a URL (before the two slashes) tells you the type of resource or method of access at that address.http - a hypertext document or directoryftp - a file available for downloading or a directory of such filesThe second part is typically the address of the computer where the data or service is located. Additional parts may specify the names of files, the port to connect to, or the text to search for in a database.Y ou can enter the URL of a site by typing it into the location bar of your web browser, just under the toolbar.Most browsers record URLs that you want to use again, by adding them to a special menu. In Netscape Navigator, it's called Bookmarks. In Microsoft Explorer, it's called Favorites. Once you add a URL to your list, you can return to that web page simply by clicking on the name in your list, instead of retyping the entire URL.Most of the URLs you will be using start with http which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Http is the method by which HTML files are transferred over the Web. Here are some other important things to know about URLs:A URL usually has no spaces.A URL always uses forward slashes (//).---------------------------------------------------------------密------------------------------------封-------------------------------------线----------------------------------------注意：密封线内不要答题密封线外不要写姓名、学号、班级、违者试卷作零分处理B 卷第8页（共12页）If you enter a URL incorrectly , your browser will not be able to locate the site or resource you want.

Most broadly , a Linux distribution bundles large quantities of application software with the core system, and provides more user-friendly installation and upgrades.Initially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual enthusiasts. Sincethen, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell for use in servers and is gaining popularity in the desktop market. Proponents and analysts attribute this success to its vendor independence (the opposite of vendor lock-in), low cost, security , and reliability .Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports allpopular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). It is deployed in applications ranging from embedded systems (such as mobile phones and personal video recorders) to personal computers to supercomputers.C46. Which one will be the best title?

Scientists once believed this could be done easily. They thought computers could change words from one language to another. They thought computers could make sentences from words by using the rules of the language. However, many words have more than one meaning .The English word “bank” can mean “an organization that keeps or lends money”; or it can mean “the land along a river, lake or ocean”. Sentences also can have more than one meaning .The statement “I can fish” can mean “I am able to catch fish”; or it can mean “I work in a factory, putting fish into cans.”Computers are not able to understand differences in meaning .So scientists have developed a new means of computer translation to solve this problem. They developed a system using a special common language The New Y ork Times newspaper recently explained the system: first the computer translates information from one language into the common language, in which each word has only one meaning .Then the computer translates the information into another language.D51. When we say “he can fish”, we mean _____________.A. “he isn’t able to catch fish”B. “he likes working in a factory”C. “He likes fish”D. “He can catch fish” or “He works in a factory, putting fish into fish”D52.

The common language is widely used in different countries all over the world.C. The common language is widely used by differently people all over the world.D. A word in English can be put into only one word in the common language.A53. What is the main problem of computer translation according to the passage?A. Computers can not understand the meaning of any word.B. There is no rule for the computer to follow to make sentences.C. A word, or a sentence, may have more than one meaning.D. Computers have difficulty in understanding.D54. Translation by means of computer ______________.A. Is already a few years oldB. Is just a dreamC. Is considered to be an easy jobD.
