The internet has led to huge increase in credit-card (信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Website (非法網(wǎng)站). Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with card. On line, shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought.
The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.
Computer hackers have broken down security (安全) system, raising questions about the safety of card-holder information.
Several months ago, 25000 customers of CD universe, an on-line music retailer, were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay USD 157 828 to get back the information.
Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web-only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
Ask about your credit-card firm’s on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first USD 78 of any fraudulent spending.
And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Website offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password (密碼) safe: Most on-line sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.
小題1:Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “fraud”.

小題3:If the passwords of your credit-cards are not probably kept, what will happen? (回答詞數(shù)不超過6個(gè))

小題2:Fraud on the Internet happens very often.

閱讀下面的短文，然后以約 30 個(gè)詞概括故事的主要內(nèi)容。
Who says honesty is dead? Last Tuesday morning Alan Reed, a student, was at the bank. He asked to take out $ 50 but the bank clerk mistakenly gave him five twenties instead of five tens. For a few seconds he wondered what to do. Should he give the extra money back? Keep it? If he kept it, he could buy several new books, or he could take his friend Alice to a fancy dinner. Probably no one would ever notice. Besides, this would make up for all the times he’d been overcharged. But then he looked at the clerk. She was a middle-aged woman with a sweet face, and she reminded him of his mother. She had been nice to him, and she looked pressured in her work. Then it occurred to him that the lady would probably get in trouble. Worst of all, Alan felt, he would probably feel guilty about keeping the extra cash. So Alan gave back the money.
The bank clerk was so impressed that someone was honest enough to return money not rightfully his that she contacted the newspaper. So there you have it. What would you have done if you’d been in Alan’s position?

Directions: Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information
given in the passage.
Why should you keep exercising even when cold temperatures make you want to hide under the covers? With the temperatures dropping at this time of year, many of us tend to hibernate (冬眠) inside our homes. But, hibernating is for bears. As humans it’s important to stay active through all four seasons. Yet, a poll of 5,000 people found that 30 percent get no exercise at all during the winter months.
Just because it is cold outside it is no excuse not to exercise. There are many exercise choices one can choose to take part in regardless of the cold weather. Depending on your location and likes, you can choose to exercise inside or outside.
All that is required for winter-time exercise is some planning and the following of some safety tips. If you prefer to exercise outside, keep the following tips in mind.
Get warm first. A proper warm-up is critical. Cold temperatures can make your muscles tight and therefore they are easier to be injured. So, it’s important to get them warm-up before intense (激烈的) physical activity.
No sweat. Don’t assume that you have to sweat in order to get a good workout. You should avoid sweating that causes the clothing layer closest to your skin to get wet and cause you to be cold.
Don’t undress when you get inside. While you may want to immediately remove your layers when returning inside, you should give your body time to adjust.
Drink up. It’s just as important to stay hydrated (含水的) when exercising in winter as it is in summer, even though you might not feel as thirsty.
Be seen. If possible, it’s best to exercise outdoors during daylight areas. If you exercise outdoors when it is dark, wear reflective (反光的) materials to ensure that you can be seen.
By staying fit during winter, you’ll be able to avoid gaining weight and losing strength caused from inactivity.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)下面小題的具體要求，盡可能簡要回答問題，并將答案轉(zhuǎn)寫到答題卡上。
Playing is serious business for children. In fact, it's what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say,"Because it's fun!" But it's much more than that. It's also good for them.
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby's sense of sight.
When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.
Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That's because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.
Crayons, paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to create. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.
Playing doesn't become any less important once children start school. Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules.

[1] Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior. One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards.
[2] They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game, which is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher. The most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself,                  . The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment.
[3] The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs — or intelligence quotients — of the younger children who were not spanked (打屁股) were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.
[4] Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development is. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.

閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)要求答題。（請(qǐng)注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）。

"Wow, you got an A without even studying．"
"Your drawing is wonderful --you're my little Picasso．"
If you're like most parents, you offer praise to your children believing it is the key to their success．But according to a new study, praise may do more harm than good．
For the study, after a simple IQ test, one group was told it did really well and must be very smart．The other group was told it did really well and must have worked hard． One group was praised for intelligence,                  .
Asked if they wanted to take a slightly harder test, the kids praised for their intelligence were unwillingly．Of those praised for their effort, however, 90 percent were eager for a more challenging task．And on a final test the effort group performed significantly better than the group praised for its intelligence．
Many of the kids who had been labeled "smart" performed worst of all．The "hard workers" got the message that they could improve their scores by trying harder, but the "smart" kids believed they should do well without any effort．Thus, kids who get too much praise are less likely to take risks, are highly sensitive to failure and are more likely to give up when faced with a challenge．
Tips for Parents:
◆Avoid labels．Praising for effort sends the message that your child has the power to improve and change．Be mindful of labeling yourself and others．
◆Teach kids from an early age that the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice．This sends the message that kids can directly affect their intelligence．
◆Parents often praise their kids to make themselves feel good, or to protect their kids from failure．But it's vital for parents to help their kids to learn to deal with setbacks and to help them focus on ways to improve．
小題1:What is the best title of the passage? （ Please answer within 10 words．）
小題2:Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
As a result of much praise, kids will lack enough courage to risk and face failure and a challenge．
小題3:Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence．（Please answer within 10 words．）
小題4:If your parents praise you too much, what should you do7 Why7 （Please answer within 30 words．）
小題5:Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
