“Wanted by the FBI.” To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening
words in the world. When the criminal (罪犯) hears them, he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him.
Why should he be so afraid? There are hundreds of cities and thousand of villages where he can hide. There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself. Besides, he’s usually rich with stolen money.
Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. Money can pay for a hideout in some far-off place. But the criminal knows what happened to money and good hideouts. Yet one by they were found by the men of the FBI.
They know every trick the criminal knows and many more. If he makes just one mistake, they’ll get him. That’s why the man who is hunted can’t sleep. That’s why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound. When he makes a mistake, he’ll no longer be “wanted by the FBI”. He’ll have been caught.
The FBI began on May 10, 1924. Attorney General Harlan F.Stone chose J.Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, to head the new agency(机构). “What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,” he said. “Criminals today are smart. They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways. They have learned to open any lock. The criminal would have discovered science. We can’t beat them with old methods. We have to train officers to work scientifically.”
J.Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans. He picked his men carefully. They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five. He wanted only men with good manners and good character. When working as his officers they would have to meet all kinds of people. Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well a gun. He chose men to carefully that he made the FBI the hardest service in the world to get into. The FBI cannot help in every police problem. It can look into only certain crimes against the government. Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.
59. A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is ________.
A. not at all useful B. very helpful for a while

The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.
In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people---- just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence（疏忽）.
Researchers have estimated (计算) that as many as 80 percent of all automobile(交通) accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort(歪曲) drivers’ reactions, slow their judgement, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary far every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.
Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers, Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the mad.
Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been both at the point of manufacture and through periodic mad-worthiness inspection. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the mad.
66. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention
B. To improve understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.
C. To discuss traffic problems and propose solutions.
D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving
67. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because_____.
A. autos have become most destruction(毁灭) to mankind
B. people usually pay little attention to law and morality
C. civilization brings much harm to people
D. the lack of virtue(德行) is becoming more serious
68. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three?
A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents
B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.
C. To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.
D. To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.
69. Who are not mentioned as being responsible of the road accidents?
A. Careless bicycle-riders. B. Mindless people walking in the street.
C. Irresponsible drivers. D. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.
70. Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problem?
A. Doubtful yet still longing for B. Happy and rather confident
C. Surprised and very pleased. D. Disappointed and deeply worried

Over the past 10 years, technologies that were have combined computers with telephone have developed. Technologies such as PC fax programs and LAN fax servers(局域网传真服务器) have been used to improve fax communications. The latest computer-based technologies are new mechanisms (机制) which use IP (Internet Protocol, 因特网协议) to send faxes, that is, IP fax..
Traditional fax has a fairly simple usage model. First , the user inserts a document into the fax machine, enters the destination fax number and presses the starts button on the machine. The sending machine dials the receiving fax machine. If it connects, the sending machine scans the documents and sends it over the public switched telephone network( PSTN,公共电话交换网) to the receiving machine. At the same time, the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.
In IP fax system there are two basic transmission modes: store-and-forward mode and real-time mode. Store-and-forward mode has been widely used. In this mode, the entire document is sent to a networkbased server that stores it and then sends it to the destination. Real-time IP faxing is similar to traditional fax. Real-time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate through some standard.
IP fax enabled a fax document to be sent from one person to another. A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes. This would enable users to receive faxes anywhere, anything with an internet fax address.
71. The passage deals mainly with_______________.
A. PC fax B.IP fax
C. information technology D. new machines
72. In traditional fax, ___________can be used.
A. even computers B. LAN fax servers
C. e-mail D. only fax machines
73. IP fax can use all of the following to send and receive a fax except______
A. a fax machine B. a receiving machine
C. a computer D. e-mail
74. In real-time IP fax mode____________.
A. two fax machines communicate directly B. a network-based server is used
B. users can receive faxes anywhere D. the PSTN has to be used.
75. In paragraph 2, the word “inserts” can be replaced by _________.
A. prints B. presses C. puts D. uses
