In the world today , there are millions of surveillance cameras , or „spy cams‟, watching and monitoring our daily activities . There are some benefits of course , as people who are breaking laws can be watched and caught using cameras and this helps keep out society and public places safe .
These cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads , in airports , businesses , shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts . Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behaviour .
The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them . But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen . Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can „spy‟ on shoppers , workers , babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing .
It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy . Recently , in the U.S ., there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras .
The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks , more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us . This means that we all have to be aware that our employers , department stores , police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time !

OVER 22 million dead animals that have never been seen by the public before were on display last week in London , Britain . The selection is one of the biggest and the best in the world and the Natural History Museum hopes that it will help people understand nature better .
People were able to examine the animals , which range from tiny insects that lived millions of years ago to the bones of dinosaurs (恐龙)and butterflies (蝴蝶)in amazing detail .
The scientific specimens (标本)are all either stored in alcohol(酒精)or made in a fossil (化石)form and have been given to the new Darwin Centre by scientists and researchers over the last hundred years .
68.What would be the best title for the text ?
A.Natural History Museum C.History of the animal B.A New Darwin Centre D.Time You Can Touch

During the last ten years , several important new technologies have affected advertising considerably . One was the penetration(渗透)of cable television and satellite receivers into a vast number of American homes . Many cable channels are devoted to single types of programming , such as straight news , home shopping , sports , or comedy . This has changed television from the most widespread of mass media to a somewhat more specialized medium . Now smaller companies and companies with products that interest a limited market can use television to reach audiences with particular interests .
Another change in the TV world has been the growing presence of videocassette recorders . For many customers , watching movies on video at home has replaced going to the movie theater . Advertisers have watched this trend with interest . Some videos now begin with an ad , shot in a suitable cinematic cycle , that sells a product valued by that particular movie‟s audience .
Computer technology has had its own effect , Personal computers , modems , electronic mails , electronic bulletin boards , even fax machines give advertisers new media for reaching potential(潜在的)customers . But these choices are largely replacements for print media , and their advertising trends to be more information-oriented than image-oriented . The increased number of computer users has benefited advertisers in another way as well . Now even the smallest companies can maintain a database(数据库)for direct mail . This , too , is an excellent medium for reaching people with particular interests .
Today advertising is a powerful means that announces the availability (实用性)and location of products , expresses the quality and value of those products , and even fills brands with personality while at the same time defining the personality of the people who buy them . In turn , advertising itself is shaped by the technology used to convey its message to potential customers .
69. make it possible for small companies to send advertisements to audiences specially
interested in their products .
A.Single types of TV programming B.Mass media
C.Particular interests D.New technologies of TV sets
70.As more and more people have begun to use computers , advertisements can be directly sent to
particular costumers .
A.by electronic bulletin board B.by post C.by e-mail D.by fax machines
71.The best title of this passage might be “”.
A.The Informaiton Age of Advertising . B.Mass Media and Advertising
C.Technologies of Advertising D.Advertising and Customers

Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning (克隆)has now become a reality . The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue and raises ethical (伦理的)questions . In my opinion , cloning is useful for research into cures for disease .However ,I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments .
Research into cloning and stem cell(干细胞)production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses . While this would improve the quality of life for many ,not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future . This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world . Furthermore , it is thought
The center , named after the world famous scientist Charles Darwin , will be open free to the public . It is part of the much larger Natural History Museum , which attracts over 2 million visitors a year .
The new museum has actual specimens caught by Darwin , including a parrotfish and pipefish he caught while on his journey around the world . There are also lots of other specimens caught by famous explorers that lived over 150 years ago , which include a tusk (长牙)from an African elephant given by famous British scientist David Livingstone .
People can view specimens close up , watch videos of scientists at work , look at information on computers , and look up through the seven-storey storage hall to sense the huge scale of what‟s inside . They are also able to take guided tours and join live events with scientists .
Another section of the museum is being planned . When it opens in 2007 , there will be an extra 28 million insects on display and 6 million plants .
65.By visiting the museum , one can .
A.enrich his knowledge of the universe B.have a better understanding of the world
C.get to know the animal world better D.see all kinds of dead animals A.were mainly caught by Charles Darwin B.are specimens presented by scientists and 66.The dead animals on display researchers
C.have mostly been unseen by the public before D.are the best selection in the world so far
67.If you go to visit Darwin Centre , you A.will have to buy a ticket B.will be allowed to touch the exhibits
C.won‟t be charged D.will check information on a computer first
that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications resulting from malformed(畸形的)organs .
There are also quite serious ethical issues in danger . In essence , those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere with natural processes . Producing embryos (晶胚)for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced . It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life .
I conclusion I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue . This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life , but also because not enough is known about the effects . However , I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk , then governments should continue to support it .
72.What is the writer‟s general opinion on cloning ?
A.It is useful in every area of research
B.It needs to be carefully controlled by governments . C.It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled . D.It is only useful for research into cures for disease .
73.The writer‟s main reason against cloning is that .
A.not enough is known about the effects of cloning
B.a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs C.cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones
D.it would affect the quality of life for many
74.The main argument in Paragraph 3 is that .
A.scientists do not value human life B.the process of cloning needs to be questioned
C.cloning devalues human life D.scientists should not interfere with natural processes
75.In Paragraph 4 , the writer thinks governments should .
A.not put human life at risk B.support all forms of research into stem cell production C.not support any form of research into stem cell production D.support research into stem cell production harmless to human life
