Identity theft is an absolute epidemic, states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advocate of privacy. Its certainly picked up in the last four or five years. Its worldwide. It affects everybody, and theres very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you cant detect it until its probably too late. Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, your personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data,can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victimsnames. In many cases, a victims losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible. Here are some tips for staying safe while conducting a job search on the lnternet. 1. Check for a privacy policy. If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site you are considering has a privacy policy, like CareerBuilder. com. The policy should spell out how your information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others. You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员 ). When reviewing the sites privacy policy, youll be able to delete your resume just as easily as you posted it. You wont necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Interact once you had a job. 2. Keep confidential (机密的) information confidential. Do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, drivers license, and bank account numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color. Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. Dont provide this even if they say they need it in order to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book-dont fall for it. 3. Safeguard your identity. Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the lnternet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a genetic(泛指的) identifier, such as Internet developer, candidate, or experienced marketing representative. You should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. Depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided. Use a general description of the company such as major auto manufacturer, or international packaged goods supplier. If your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent inste, ad of the exact title assigned by your employer.Robert believes identity theft is difficult to detect and one can hardly do anything to prevent it.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned17、In many cases, identity theft not only causes the victims immediate financial losses but costs them a lot to restore their reputation.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned18、You can ask the government for compensation if you suffer an identity theft.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned19、The CareerBuilder. corn will send a letter about privacy policy to those applicants.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned20、According to the first suggestion, your resume should not stay online longer than is necessary.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned21、All employers require applicants .to submit very personal information on background checks.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned22、Applicants are advised to use generic names for themselves and their current employers when seeking employment online.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned 第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第2330题，每题1分，共8分) 下面的短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第2326题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2-5段每段选择1个最佳标题；(2)第2730题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。23、根据材料，完成23-31题。The Meaning of Dreams1. Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly explained, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize. -2. I can see their laughing faces . laughing at me. But they arent as smart. If they were,theyd be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations (涵义). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can be interp(eted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex ( 自卑情结 ), which the dreamer attempt to escape from by putting themselves up above others.3. Im moving from fast now, but its still behind me. Doesnt matter how fast I go, I still cant escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality (生命力 ) like the other one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is prominent emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble (蹒跚) or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes dream even more terrifying (恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the dreamers are under pressure in their everyday life4. Im sweating and my heart is beating. I am trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the person is often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming (强烈的 ) feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifying real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.5. The wind is pushing me and I slip. There is nothing I can do. nothing I can hold on to.This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement.They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but is also shows a deep-seated phobia (恐惧) of losing a job and a livelihood.Paragraph 2_.ADream of failing down.BDream of running hard.CDream of diving into the water.DDream of being pushed away.EDream of flying into the air.FDream of climbing trees.24、Paragraph 3_.ADream of failing down.BDream of running hard.CDream of diving into the water.DDream of being pushed away.EDream of flying into the air.FDream of climbing trees.25、Paragraph 4_.ADream of failing down.BDream of running hard.CDream of diving into the water.DDream of being pushed away.EDream of flying into the air.FDream of climbing trees.26、Paragraph 5_.ADream of failing down.BDream of running hard.CDream of diving into the water.DDream of being pushed away.EDream of flying into the air.FDream of climbing trees.27、If a person puts himself up above others in the dream, he may_.Afeel lonely in everyday lifeBbe afraid of losing his job in real lifeCfeel tired in real lifeDfeel inferior in realityEbe afraid of losing control in real lifeFbe under pressure in everyday life28、If a person dreams of being chased by others, he may_.Afeel lonely in everyday lifeBbe afraid of losing his job in real lifeCfeel tired in real lifeDfeel inferior in realityEbe afraid of losing control in real lifeFbe under pressure in everyday life29、If a person dreams of going over the edge of a cliff, he may_.Afeel lonely in everyday lifeBbe afraid of losing his job in real lifeCfeel tired in real lifeDfeel inferior in realityEbe afraid of losing control in real lifeFbe under pressure in everyday life30、If a person dreams of failing to do something in public, he may_.Afeel lonely in everyday lifeBbe afraid of losing his job in real lifeCfeel tired in real lifeDfeel inferior in realityEbe afraid of losing control in real lifeFbe under pressure in everyday life第4部分：阅读理解(第3145题，每题3分，共45分) 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。31、根据材料，完成31-36题。第一篇Why the Rich Dont Pass Wealth to Their Children The rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves - and not to turn into spoiled successors. Nicola Hodick or superwoman, a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids - has spent her career making a report f 250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state: of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children, Horlick told the reports authors. I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives. She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has put an estimated $ 30bil into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009,by another $ 24bil also from his friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket - her father lent her $ 20,then promptly made her write him a check. To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy, he has said, is like saying the members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team. Antia Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isnt one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.The billionaires mentioned in the passage dont want to leave much of their wealth to their children because_.Athey prefer to give their wealth to charityBthey want their business to go on healthilyCthey believe too much wealth will harm their childrenDthey hope their children can make more money themselves32、What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?_.AShe has already given away about 25% of her wealth.BShe is the first one who declares to give away her wealth.CShe will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids.DShe inherited most of her wealth from her parents.33、 Buffett distinguishes himself for_.Ahis clear-cut positionBbeing strict with his childrenChis talent in financial managementDbeing a giant in the stock market34、According to Buffetts daughter, her father_.Arefuses to lend her moneyBwants her to invest in the Olympic GamesCnever gives her more money than necessaryDalways makes sure that she returns his money35、It is implied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to_.Aprovide shelter for the poorBbuild good fameCavoid paying taxDsupport their business36、根据材料，完成36-41题。第二篇American Families In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover,children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care .for the childrens emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parents own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.In the past, American families tended to be_.Aquite smallBmedium sizedCquite largeDsmall37、To parents who take the responsibility for childrens expenses, the cost of living increases because_.Achildren attend school for more yearsBchildren are better dressedCchildren spend more money on entertainmentDall of the above 38、What problems Would broken families bring to both children and parents?_.AChildren grow up feeling unsettled and parents didnt pay much attention to children.BChildren grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising the children.CChildren are moved back and forth between parents and the single parent is busy working to make money to support himself/herself.DChildren grow up feeling unsettled, and the parents have little time for his/her own interests because one parent is too busy taking care of children.39、According to the author, the situations of American families in the future may_.Abecome worseBremain the sameCget betterDkeep unchanged40、The title of the article might be_.AAmerican ChildrenBAmerican FamiliesCAmerican MotherDAmerican Parents41、根据材料，完成41-46题。第三篇Something about the Sky If someone asked you. What color is the sky? I expect that you would answer, Blue. I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air. We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars.Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal. The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket. I am sure that you are asking. How does a rocket fly? If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through neck of the ball and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an airplane. This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air.Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.What color is the sky?_.AIt is blue.BIt is white.CIt is grey.DIt has no color.42、When an airplane flies too high,_.Athe air will be too thin to support its wingsBthe air will become thickerCthe air will exert pressure on itDthe air will disappear in no time43、A rocket can fly to the moon because_.Ait looks like a balloonBit is much lighter than an airplaneCit doesnt have wingsDit works like an untied balloon44、 Which of the following statements about a rocket is NOT true?_.AIt can fly when there is no, air.BIt can fly without wings.CIt is made of strong metal.DIt is propelled by burning gas inside it.45、 A rocket is pushed up into the air when ,_.Ahot gas rushes out of its headBit is powered by gasC
