China Calls for Unified International Rules Against Internet CrimeCyber security has always been a serious issue as the Internet industry is ever growing. Nowadays, people can easily connect to the Internet with a simple click of a mouse. But the global network can be easily destroyed by a single leak. The world is facing a difficult situation in keeping web security.Currently, there are no unified international rules for maintaining Internet security. China has called for unified international rules against Internet crime. Last year China and some other countries handed in a draft Code of Conduct on Information Security to the UN.World leaders and experts discussed the possible Internet threats facing the world. They agreed that the only way to deal with Internet security threats was to trust each other and strengthen cooperation. The threats cannot be solved by any one country alone. And for these reasons, countries would have a greater chance of trusting each other in dealing with such threats.Though great efforts were made to issue common regulations for the Internet, few results have been achieved yet. Theres still a long way to go for unified global Internet security rules and regulations.26. Maintaining web security is () for the world.A. easyB. a piece of cakeC. difficult27. There are () to maintain cyberspace security.A. no unified international regulationsB. unified international regulationsC. worldwide unified regulations28. The only way to deal with cyber security threats was to()A. depend on China and the United NationsB. strengthen international cooperation and trust each otherC. ask world leaders and experts for help29.().results have been achieved in terms of common regulations for the Internet.A.

Passage Two(26~30) Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off。There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids (避免)not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad (启事) in the newspaper asking for help。The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more。Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said。第26题:After the car owner received a phone call, he 。A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a parkC. sent some money to the thief by mailD. told the press about it
