permission.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

参考答案：B

文章没到谈到这方面的信息。文章只在第四段中提到“Musicsignalsthe

及。

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

D.todemonstratethathackersandthievesarethesamepeople

参考答案：A

14

西的人被称为小偷，文章第二段第三句提到，黑客比小偷还厉害,还危险,故选Ao

第37题：

Theword"vandalizing"inParagraph3means

A.stealing

B.creating

C.destroyingD.updating

参考答案：C

本题问短文第三段中vandalizing的意思。如果考生不认识这个词,可根据后面

的叙述猜出该词的意思是“destroying”。

第38题:

A.Hackingisalsoknownascomputerbreak-in.

B.Expertsoncomputernetworksconsiderhackingnothingserious,

C.Hackingisawidespreadconcern.

参考答案：B

本题问下面的叙述哪个是错误的。第三段第一句将｝lacking解释为"computer

break-in",故选项A正确,选项C和D的意思下文中也提到了，根据排除法可得

出选项B是错误的,其实,根据常识我们也能判断出选项B是错误的。黑客的危害

性已人所共知。

第39题:

WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedinthepassageasaninstanceof

attackbyahacker?

A.Deletinginformationinthecomputer'smemory.

B.Shuttingdownthecomputerwheneverhewishes.

C.Enteringyourhousetosteal.

参考答案：C

本题是细节题,给出的几个选项中有一项不是黑客攻击的情况。闯入房内偷东西

显然不是真正意义上的黑客行为。此题亦可凭常识作出判断。
