Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. Fo

13、r each of them here are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:While hackers with motives make headlines, they represent less than 20% of all

14、network security breaches.More common are instances of authorized users accidentally winding up where they should not be and inadvertently deleting or changing data. However, the Internet introduces another concern: some Internet surfers are bound to go where they have no business and, in so dong, t

15、hreaten to wipe out data to which they should not have access.Before picking a firewall, companies need to adopt security policies. A security policy states who or what is allowed to connect to whom or what. You can group all users by department or classification. The better firewall products let yo

16、u drag and drop groups in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment to define network security easily.Two methods are most often used together to establish an Internet firewall. They are application and circuit gateways, as well as packet filtering. With application and circuit gateways, all pack

17、ets are addressed to a user-level application on a gate-way that relays packets between two points. With most application gateways, additional packet-filter machines are required to control and screen traffic between the gateway and the networks. A typical configuration includes two routers with a b

18、astion host that serves as the application gateway sitting between them.A drawback to application and circuit gateways is that they slow network performance. This is because each packet must be copied and processed at least twice by all the communication layers. Packet-filter gateways, which act as

19、routers between two nets, are less secure than application gateways but more efficient. They are transparent to many protocols and applications, and they require no changes in client applications, no specific application management or installation, and no extra hardware.Using a single, unified packe

20、t-filter engine, all net traffic is processed and then forwarded or blocked from a single point of control. However, most packet filters are stateless, understand only low-level protocols, and are difficult to configure and verity. In addition, they lack audit mechanisms. Some packet filters are imp

21、lemented inside routers, limiting computing power and filtering capabilities. Others are implemented as software packages that filter the packets in application-layer processes, an inefficient approach that requires multiple data copies, expensive delays and context switches and delivers lower throu

22、ghput.So what s a network administrator to do? Some vendors are developing firewalls that overcome many of these problems and combine the advantages of application gateways and packet filtering. These efficient, protocol-independent, secure firewall engines are capable of application-level security,

23、 user authentication, unified support, and handling of all protocols, auditing and altering. They are transparent to users and to system setup, and include a GUI for simple and flexible system management and configuration.21. The most suitable title for this passage is .A. Hackers and Our DefenseB.

Its organization is informal and deliberately nonpolitical, and its controllers tend to concentrate on technical aspects rather than on administrative control.The Internet offers users number of b

29、asic services including data transfer, electronics mail, and the ability to access information in remote to exchange information and debate specific subjects of interest. In addition, there are a number of high-level services. For example, MBONE allows the transmission of messages to more than one d

30、estination. It is used in video conferencing. The World Wide Web, known as “ theWeb” ,is another high level Internet service, developed in the 1990s in Geneva. It is a service for distributing multimedia information, including graphics, pictures, sounds, and video as well as text. A feature of the W

31、orld Wide Web is that it allows links to other related documents elsewhere on the Internet.Documents for publication on the Web are presented in a form known as HTML (hypertext mark up language). This allows a specification of the page layout and typography as it will appear on the screen. It also a

32、llows the inclusion of active links to other documents. Generally, these appear on the screen displayas highlighted text or as additi onal icons. Typically, the user can use a mouse to “ click ” oonne of these points to load and view a related document. Many commercial and public organizations now h

33、ave theirown Web site (specified by an address code)and publish a “ home page ” ,giving inform ation about the organization.Up to the mid 1990s, the major users of the Internet were academic and research organizations. This has begun to change rapidly with individual home users linking in through co

34、mmercial access providers and with a growing interest by companies in using the Internet for publicity, sales, and as a medium for electronic publishing. At the same tine, there are problems with the flow of information across national borders, bringing in debates about copyright protection, data pr

39、B. the historical development of the InternetC. the kinds of data transferred through the InternetD. the problems brought about the InternetQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The relationship between the home and market economies has gone though two distinct stages. Early industri

40、alization begin the process of transferring some production process (e.g. cloth making, sewing and canning food) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these good, the more important second stage was evident-the marketplace, and home economy was unable to pro

41、duce them, e.g. electricity and electrical appliances the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care. In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and service was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruitsofin

42、dustrialization, they would have to be obtained in the market place. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home such as in nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable(and, inmost serious cases, probably less successful).Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of

43、the horse drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of background music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increased flexibility for the home economy in obtaining these good and services.

44、Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the market-place. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical(新古典主义的 ) model that views the family as deciding whether to produce good

45、s and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second (and current) stage.31. The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that.A. it was a necessary step in the process

46、 of industrializationB. they depend on electricity available only to the market economyC. it was troublesome to produce such goods in the homeD. the marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes32. It can be seen from the passage that in the second stage.A. some traditional goods an

47、d service were not successful because the production process remained unchangedB. the market economy provided goods and services which were not provided by the home economyC. producing traditional goods at home became socially unacceptableD. the question of whether new goods and services were produc

48、ed by the home economy became irrelevant33. During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new services, they had to enter the marketplace.A. as wage earnersB. both as manufacturers and consumersC. both as workers and consumersD. as customers34. Economic growth did not make it more flexibl

49、e for the home economy to obtain the new goods and services because.A. the family was not efficient in productionB. it was illegal for the home economy to produce themC. it could not supply them by itselfD. the market for these goods and services was limited35. The neoclassical model is basically a

50、model of the first stage, because at this stage.A. the family could rely either on the home economy or on the marketplace for the needed goods and servicesB. many production processes were being transferred to the marketplaceC. consumers relied more and more on the market economyD. the family could
