①穷人自食其力自身是一大胜利;
②改革变化低收和主阶层的并开始重建workethic;
③打破依赖习惯可知,福利改革的主线目的是协助穷人自食其力,改掉依赖习惯,重建工作道德
61.D要点推断由福利改革的成功gettingpeopleoffwelfare>改革的成果more peopletake jobs和改革的目的rebuild workethic,crack thehabitofdependency,推测改革前的状况,可知是更多的人不工作,被动依赖政府福利资助Passage2【短文大意】本文重要通过函授教育和远程教育的比较,来阐明远程教育的长处
62.A推断题问题问及选项中哪个不是业余教育的缺陷根据文章第一段中nearly allrequire some breakin ones career in order to attend school full time可以看出,参与全日制学习需要中断自己的事业,在第二段中作者又说Part time education,that is,attending schoolat nightor for one weekenda month,tendsto dragthe processout overtime andputs thecompletion of a degree program outof reachof manypeople.业余教育,只需要晚上和周末学习,因此需要中断自己的事业不是部分时间教育的缺陷而其他选项都是文章提及的part timeeducation的不利条件
63.D细节题文章提到的优缺陷是几种教育方式之间的比较,问题问及哪个选项的内容不是远程教育的长处前三个选项,AJ学生可以选择自己的进度”,B.”学生可以在他或她以便的时候学习”,C.”在学习的同步还可以追求自己的事业”都是文章中提及的与另两种方式比较的长处在文章第二段最终,作者指出Tutorial assistancemay be available via regular airmail,telephone,facsimile machine,teleconferencing andover theInternet.辅导可以通过定期的航空邮件、电话、传以及因特网等方式进行,作者只是提出了一种也许,实际上是弥补distance education的局限性的一种提议,并不是远程教育函授的长处因此选项D符合题o
64.D细节题选项A、B、C在文章中都没有提及,根据文章最终一段,a good distance learning programhas a place not only forthe individualstudent butalso thecorporation orbusiness一种良好的远程教育计划不仅对个人有好处,并且对那些企业或者商业机构来说也是意义重大选项D说的也正是这个意思,故为对的选项
65.C细节题意为专家和学生之间的关系是严格地”一对一的「而这不符合作者意图,参见原文末段,individuality并不是意指严格地“一对一”
66.A细节题注意本题与上题的区别,上一题问及远程教育对企业的好处,本题则是远程教育对职工,也就是个人的好处同样根据文章最终一段,a gooddistance learning program hasa placenot onlyfor theindividualstudent butalso thecorporation orbusiness thatwants to work inpartnership with theiremployees forthe educationalbenefit,professional development,and businessgrowth of theorganization.远程教育可以协助雇员提高教育素质和职业技能从而促使事业的发展,对的选项为APassage2参照译文目前,那些想继续接受教育的人,都面临着许多选择然而,儿乎所有的人都会中断事业去参与学校的全日制课程函授教育是晚间或一种月的每个周这种教育倾向于把时间拖得很长,并且诸多人难于完毕这种学位并且,这种课程有固定的时间,这也对参与者的工作和生活带来一定的负面影响在有关教学的众多措施中,远程教育或许是最以便,最具灵活性的了远程教育容许学生根据自己的进度灵活变通地进行学习,直抵到达教学规定的目的这种教育措施在现代世界中是十分必要的,课程规定的学习时间可以根据个人生活中的其他需要而临时搁置或另作安排此外,学生在工作的同步就可以在世界上的任何地方学习远程教育的课程教师的辅导可以通过定期的航空邮件、电话、传以及因特网等方式进行良好的远程教育计划以每一科目都具有课程评估措施为特性这样就省去了学生必须从家跑到学校参与考试的麻烦另一种特性是远程教育课程所采用的学习资料与在校生的学习资料是同样的无论参与的是远程教育还是学校教育,学生所获得的文凭与学位都是一种特性是,专家与学生的关系是一对一的从最终的分析中可以看到,一种良好的远程教育计划不仅对学生个人有好处,并且对企业或商业机构来说也是意义重大,它可以协助雇员提高教育素质,职业技能从而增进事业发展因此,支持雇员参与远程教育课程会使企业具有一种优势,那就是拥有一批有职业头脑并为个人和职业发展不停进步的员工Passage3【短文大意】本文重要讲述计算机犯罪很难被发现,虽然一旦被发现,也不会像其他犯罪同样,被流放或进监狱,反而常常是得到原雇主的表扬和推荐,从而找到此外一份好工作
57.B推断题首先根据第二段可知,A是错误的,由于计算机犯罪不是不能发现的C”用计算机犯罪的罪犯可以逃脱惩罚,由于他们不会被发现“,D”运用计算机犯罪的人是应他们企业的规定这样做的”都是错误的,文中没有提到只有B,”计算机犯罪是金融机构里最严重的问题”是在文中第一段中暗示了的因此选B
58.A推断题文章的第三段指出,”究竟有多少计算机犯罪,我们没有确切的记录数字,令人不安的是诸多计算机犯罪是偶尔中被发现的,而不是系统的检查或者通过其他安全防备措施而发现的”这阐明A是对的的没有被发现的计算机犯罪比被发现的计算机犯罪要多得多
59.D细节题A是”应当建立一套严格的反计算机犯罪的法律“,B”企业应当对绝密的材料进行严格的控制“,C”企业为了维护其声誉,应当对计算机犯罪严加防备”,文中都没有提到只有D在文中最终两段中有所表述企业出于对自己声誉的考虑,往往对计算机犯罪模糊其辞,遮遮掩掩
60.C细节题雇主对计算机犯罪者的宽容也许有多种原因A、B、C、D所说的情形,在现实中都可以出现,但文中提到的只有C项,参见末段
61.C细节题答案在文中的倒数第二段中计算机犯罪分子和其他犯罪分子不一样的是,他们不仅不会流亡国外,或者自杀或者进监狱,并且还往往得到原雇主的表扬和推荐,从而找到此外一份好工作Passage3参照译文企业、政府以及金融机构的运作越来越多地被存在于计算内存中的信息所控制只要够聪颖,任何人为了个人目的而修改了这些信息都可以获得丰厚的奖励,更糟的是,许多从事此类活动并被抓住的人却已大摇大摆的逃脱了惩罚假如人们不去检查计算机正在做什么,那么计难被发现的,不过虽然犯罪被发现,犯罪者也也许逃脱惩罚甚至会受到此前雇主的高度表扬和推荐当然,我们没有未被发现的罪犯的记录数字不过,当我们谈到我们所理解的仅仅是被偶尔发现而不是系统监测或其他安全程序发现的罪犯有多少时、我们还是会感到很不安,那些被抓住的计算机罪犯只是意外霉运的牺牲者罢了例如,某个打孔操作员埋怨不得不加班为额外的卡片打孔调查表明,那些额外的卡片是用作非法交易的另一种情形,实行计算机满的雇工警告雇主他们的企业将被抢劫不一样于其他(那些必须离开国家,自杀或进监狱的)违法者,计算机罪犯有时可以逃脱惩罚,不仅规定不被控诉并且还索好处,而他们的规定一般都会得到满足为何会这样呢?由于企业行政人员胆怯公众发现他们的计算机被误用从而对两企业导致很坏的公众影响他们想到,计算机犯罪者也许会在法庭鼓吹他们是怎样在企业行政人员、会计、以及安全保卫人员的鼻子底下篡改企业机密记录的鉴于这种想法,他们(企业高层)踌躇了因此,另一种计算机罪犯带着他需要的推荐信离开了,继续他的罪恶职业Passage3Vocabulary
