Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions
Because conducting censuses requires detailed planning, the organization conducting a census decides
on and narrows the topics to be addressed and, more specifically, determine how to word the questions,
tabulate the responses, and report the findings. Assimilating, compiling, and statistically analyzing the
information is a work-intensive process that may sometimes take up to a year. Censuses examine such
issues as population size and density, employment and industrial affiliation, migration, formal education,
income received, housing, marital status, relationship of each individual to the head of the family and age.
A detailed series of queries sample the data associated with the quality of housing, transportation, the
level of industrial production, water and electricity consumption or the functioning of the local
government. Major censuses taken by the federal government are conducted every 10 years, in the years
that end in zero. Surveys of agriculture take place every 5 years and cover the years ending in 4 and 9,
manufacturing censuses in the years that end in 3 and 8, governmental units in the years ending in 2 and 7,
and drainage and irrigation systems in the years ending in 9.
To ensure that the census information is complete, the organization conducting the census attempts to
contact every individual residing or employed in a particular geographic area. To be consistent,
information is gathered at approximately the same time. Because it is practically impossible to reach every
person on the same day, censuses question the individual about conditions as they were on a certain date.
Following the data gathering, the information is analyzed to determine the extent of social and economic
change and problems, as well as the resources available to deal with them. During the years between
censuses, the Census Bureau engages in monthly interviews and queries from a sample population to up-
date its statistics. The issues of Statistical Abstract of the United States summarize all the information that
is collected by 50 federal agencies and by private and public agencies.

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Is your company a sitting duck for hackers? When did you last change your password? How
complete are your security systems? Have you ever been broken into before?
According to IANS, the International Association for Network Security, there's a new breed of hackers
out there. And there's also a new target. In the past, hackers gained notoriety from breaking into big
companies' networks. In fact, the bigger the company, the bigger the success. When hackers broke into
Informix's notoriously secure system 1999, they made headline news around the world.
The big "success" came with a major drawback. This headline break-ins came with international teams
of investigators and serious criminal charges. Several former famous hackers are now sitting behind bars
or working overtime to pay off hefty fines in penalties and damages.
So, hackers of the new decade have turned to a new target: smaller companies. Smaller companies
often spend less on their security systems. If they have never been broken into before, they may be lulled
into a feeling of security. They are often lax about changing their password frequently enough. And that
spells trouble.
Also, a breach system in a smaller company may attract little public attention. Investigations may be
brief and superficial, as overloaded investigators pursue bigger problems.
But if you do fall victim to hackers, it will definitely attract your own attention. These thieves can gain
access to your files, destroying, copying, or altering them. They can create havoc with your data. And if
they do, you'll surely wish you had changed your password once more often.

Question 71: The phrase "sitting duck for hackers" at the beginning of the passage most probably
means______.
A. target to be attacked by hackers in the future.
B. bench of a duck shape available for hackers to sit on
C. duck which is sitting near or among hackers.
D. duck which conducts hackers to their desired seats
Question 72: What might have been one motive for hackers of Informix's network?
A. money B. power C. fame D. fun
Question 73: The phrase "breaking into big companies' networks" in the second paragraph of the
passage can probably be rephrased as____.
A. stopping the work of big companies by using a brake
B. allowing the employees of all big companies to have a break time
C. destroying the work of big companies by breaking it into pieces
D. secretly entering the networks of big companies without permission

C. they've got better jobs. D. they are paying their victims.
Question 75: Which is likely a victim for the new breed of hackers?
A. large companies B. small companies
C. international companies D. companies without security
Question 76: What might have helped hackers to succeed?
A. They've never broken into any company before.
B. Their targeted networks are old and not updated.
C. They feel secure when entering people's networks.
D. Their targets rarely change their secret codes.
Question 77: Why are modern hackers no longer interested in big companies?
A. They have less money than small ones.
B. They have become more dangerous to hack.
C. They are too easy to be broken into.
D. They don't have much interesting data as before.
Question 78: The word "overloaded" in the end of paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to "having too
much ____ to cope with at the same time".
A. work B. news C. data D. jobs
Question 79: What is not mentioned as a result of hackers' work?
A. stolen soft-wares B. ruined files
C. replicated documents D. jumbled data
Question 80: Which of the followings is probably the most suitable title for the reading passage above?
