　　河南孟津县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解能力练习4

　　（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。Golden sunlight danced in the treetops，and children's laughter filled the park.The smell of popcorn played on the breeze，and life seemed good.It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my little daughter，Gigi.

　　That is，until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away.It seemed like a bad dream.I could barely whisper when the police questioned me.For hours we waited，but there was no word on the whereabouts of the car.Tears would start to come.Then nothing.I was numb with fear.

　　“Go home，Ma'am，” the police officer said.“I'll have someone drive you.We'll also want to monitor your telephone.The kidnappers(绑匪) might call，and we'll want to keep track.Trust me，these guys can't get far.” But after what had just happened，it was hard for me to trust anything.

　　My friend Gloria came over that afternoon.“I heard about Gigi on the radio，” she said.“Everyone is looking for the car.The interstates are all blocked.” She took my hand.

　　“Look here Gloria said.“I want you to have this picture，and I want you to pray with me.”

　　It was a picture of a little girl sound asleep in her bed.Standing by the bed was a tall，blond angel(天使)．His hand was touching the girl's shoulder as he smiled down at her.

　　“You know I don't believe in that kind of thing！” I got angry.“I'm too tired for any trick right now，Gloria! I want my daughter home！”I started to shake，and then I burst into tears again.

　　Gloria placed the photo on our mantle(壁炉架) and knelt down beside me.“Just pray with me，” she said，holding my hand.

　　I had no strength left，so we prayed and waited what seemed an age.Together，we waited by the phone until sunset.The phone never rang.

　　Suddenly，the front door swung open.I looked up and screamed.

　　There stood Gigi.“Gigi! Thank God！” I cried，throwing my arms around her.“Where did those men take you? How did you get home? Did the police find you？”

　　“No Mommy！” said Gigi.“I was really scared because those men said they were taking me far away.We were going really fast on an old rock road I'd never seen before.But then a tall man walked out in front of the car，and they ran off the road and hit a tree.Then the tall man ran up and opened the car door and pulled me out.He was really nice，and said I would be okay now，and that those men couldn't hurt me.I must have gone to sleep，because then I woke up here in front of our house.He must have brought me home.”

　　“But how did he know where to bring you？” My voice broke and sounded a whisper.

　　“I don't know，Mommy，” Gigi said.“But he was really friendly，and I wasn't scared of him at all.”

　　Just then Gigi noticed Gloria's picture on the mantle.“That's him！” she cried，pointing at the picture.“Mommy，the tall blond man dressed like an angel.That's the man who pulled me out of the car！”

　　Gloria turned pale.“Are you sure that's the man？” Gloria asked.

　　“Yeah，that's him.Except he didn't have wings，and he was wearing blue jeans and a T－shirt.But that's him exactly.I'd remember him anywhere！”

　　Later that night，the police found the injured kidnappers in their damaged car fifty miles from our home.When questioned，the driver remembered making a sharp turn to avoid hitting a tall blond man.The backseat door that Gigi sat by had been completely torn off.

　　Twenty years have gone by.We have never heard from anyone claiming to have rescued Gigi.There have been no logical explanations for Gigi's narrow escape and return from so far away.

　　There have always been things that people can't explain.But，from that day forward，I believe that all experiences，positive and negative，are given to us for our strengthening and learning.

　　Gigi now takes her little girl to the park on Saturdays.They enjoy the sunlight as it dances in the treetops，the smell of popcorn，and the laughter of children.She keeps Gloria's picture on her mantle，and she remembers her angelic friend.And，like my daughter，I have a faith that has carried me through many trials since that day many years ago.

　　(Crime in Computer)    New and bizarre crimes have come into being with the advent of computer technology. Organized crime to has been directly involved; the new technology offers it unlimited opportunities, such as data crimes, theft of services, property-related crimes, industrial sabotage, politically related sabotage, vandalism, crimes against the individual and financially related crimes…    Theft of data, or data crime, has attracted the interest of organized criminal syndicates. This is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer grogram. An international market already exists for computerized data, and specialized fences are said to be playing a key role in this rapidly expanding criminal market. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firm’s competitors to foreign nations.    A competitor sabotages a company’s computer system to destroy or cripple the firm’s operational ability, thus neutralizing its competitive capability either in the private or the government sector. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm. With the growing reliance by firms on computers for their recordkeeping and daily operations, sabotage of their computers can result in internal havoc, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily buy it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime.    Politically motivated sabotage is on the increase; political extremist groups have sprouted on every continent. Sophisticated computer technology arms these groups with awesome powers and opens technologically advanced nations to their attack. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer facility at an air force base. A university computer facility involved in national defence work suffered more than $2 million in damages as a result of a bombing.    Computer vulnerability has been amply documented. One congressional study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems are adequately protected against sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments in narcotics. Criminal groups have taken attempts in assassinating political leaders…. Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily turn these computers into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they had used a gun. By manipulating a computer, they could guide awesome tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages. Homicide could take a now form. The computer may become the hit man of the twentieth century.    The computer opens vast areas of crime to organized criminal groups, both national and international. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiting a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer technology, law enforcement has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology. 1.      How many kinds of crimes are mentioned in the passage? [A].  7.         .  8.            [C].  9.        [D].  10 2.      What is the purpose of a competitor to sabotage a company’s computer? [A]. His purpose is to destroy or weaken the firm’s operational ability. . His purpose is to weaken firm’s competitive capability and get it. [C]. His purpose is to buy the rival’s company at a relatively low price. [D]. His purpose is to steal important data. 3.      Which of the following can be labeled as a politically motivated sabotage of a computer system? [A]. Sabotage of a university computer. . Sabotage of a hospital computer. [C]. Sabotage of computer at a secret training base. [D]. Sabotage of a factory computer. 4.      What does the author mean by “Homicide could take a new form”? [A]. There is no need to use a gun in killing a person. . Criminals can kill whoever they want by a computer. [C]. The computer can replace any weapons. [D]. The function of a computer is just like a gun.
