What is the meaning of “madness ”? In the US every March, it’s 64 men’s college basketball teams playing 63 games in less than a month. But it’s not just the tournament that’s a little crazy —— people all over the country also go mad trying to predict the winner.
Even billionaire investor Warren Buffet seems to be going crazy. In late January, Buffet announced that he’ll give ＄1 billion (6.1billion yuan) to anyone in the US who can correctly predict the winners of all 63 games this year, Reuters reported.
Each year, in the week before the first round begins, people usually print and fill out March Madness brackets. A brackets is a kind of diagram that lists all the teams that play each other in the first round, leaving blank spots tor all of the rounds after that. In offices and classrooms all over the US, people compete to fill out the most accurate bracket. Some people compete for prizes, like money or expensive gifts, while others do it for personal glory.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the sports media company ESPN has held a national bracket contest every March for the last 16 years. And in all that time, not a single person has ever correctly predicted all 63 game results.
So, will anyone win Buffet ’s billion? While it ’s unlikely, the person with the best shot is probably Craig Gilmore, a business analyst in Virginia, US. Last year, Gilmore beat over 8 million others in ESPN’s contest, correctly predicting 50 out of the 63 games, including that No 1-ranked Louisville would beat No 4-ranked Michigan for the championship. Gilmore has said that he filled out that bracket pretty quickly——after first drinking four glasses of beer. “I didn’t overanalyze it,” he told ESPN, “I just kind of went with my ”

How does someone step up to a cash machine and withdraw money from an account holder half world away? Even when the debit card is still in the victim’s wallet? It is easy, actually, say experts. The recipe for creating fake cards is right there on the Internet.
It is often called “white card” fraud. Criminals somehow get their hands on the electronic information stored on a legitimate card’s magnetic stripe. Generally, it’s stolen from a retailer or payment processor’s database, as happened when thieves last year broke into computers at CardSystems Solution Inc. Luckily for the criminals, Cardsystems didn’t store just account numbers-it even stored customer’s secret codes that were never meant to be copied on magnetic stripes. Stolen “ mag stripe ” data is the holy grail for card thieve. Then they take the stolen data and write it onto a new, blank card-a card that’s often plain white and they are off to the bank.
To show me how easy it was, two executives from MagTek Inc, one of the largest markers of credit card stripe gave a demonstration. Within minutes , I was withdrawing money from my account using a plain white piece of plastic at an ATM. And the key is to get an encoder.
Andy and Paul Deignan are brothers who both word for MagTek. Both came by to show me how easily thieves can manufacture scores of fake codes. MagTek sells both card readers, which are seen in stores across America, and card encoders, which very few people should ever see. Encoders actually write information onto that mysterious piece of magnetic tape on the back of the card. Banks use them to create credit cards. Readers cost about $100. Encoders cost between $1500 and $2000 except on eBay, where stolen encoders can sell for as little as $500. Armed with one, someone can create and debit cards that work exactly like the cards produces by financial institutions.
For demonstration purposes, the Deignan brothers took my debit card, dropped it in an encoder, copied the data from the back, and handed the card back to me. Then they took a piece of white plastic, a second card, instead that into the encoder, and essentially pasted my ATM information onto the second card. The process took less than 15 seconds.
The walk to the nearest cash machine took longer. Within a minute, I had taken a white piece of plastic and withdrawn $100 from my own checking account. Obviously, with slightly different data and a PIN number, I could have taken the money from someone else ’s account. With a database of stolen information, I could have withdrawn money from hundreds of accounts.
74. What does “ white card” fraud refer to?
A. A person who sells fake credit card to retailers or payment processors.
B. Thieves withdraw money from a cash machine with a plain card and stolen data. C. People buy stolen or salvaged encoders from the Internet.
D. People can create credit and debit cards to cheat financial institutions.
75. What is an encoder used for according to the passage?
A. Identifying account numbers from a credit card.
B. Creating magnetic tape on cassette tapes.
C. Stealing data from a retailer or payment processor’s database.
D. Writing information onto magnetic stripes on the back of the card.
76. The purpose of this article is probably to________________
A. tell people how to make a fortune.
B. explain how a credit card is used when buying things.
C. warn people not to use credit card to pay for anything.
D. expose a fraud that is often used these days.
77. What is likely to be talked about in the next paragraph?
A. Some other way to withdraw money at an ATM.
B. Where to buy card readers and card encoders.
C. How to protect yourself against the white card fraud.
D. The disadvantages of using credit card on the Internet..
Section C
Directions : Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Sugar is blamed for fueling the nations’ obesity crisis. Yet many of us don’t realize just how quickly our intake creeps up and the crucial link it has to health.
There is nothing inherently(固有地) unhealthy about sugar so we shouldn’t be afraid of it or try to eliminate it from our diets completely. It doesn’t directly cause heart disease or diabetes(糖尿病) so there’s nothing wrong with the occasional sweet treat. The problem arise because most of us are eating far too much.
There are different types of sugar and it’s found in all sorts of everyday foods. It occurs naturally in fruit and is added by manufacturers to make snacks such as cakes and biscuits. All types of sugar, whether found in cakes or fruit , will push up your intake of calories. If you don’t burn them off through exercise
you are likely to get fat. That ’s where the real health problems begin, including increase risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
With sugar found naturally in fruit there is a balance. This sugar can play a role in making us overweight but fruit is also bursting with other sources of goodness. The added sugar found in snacks and sweets doesn’t contain many nutrients so we are encouraged to get our sugar allowance from fruit instead.
Tom Sanders, professor of dietetics and nutrition at King’s College London, says:“we advise people to eat up to three portions of fruit a day but only have confectionery occasionally, because sweet can also tend to be high in better to get most of your carbohydrates intake from starchy foods such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta because they also contain useful amounts of other nutrients such as proteins and vitamins. ’ It is recommended that no more than 11% or our total daily calories intake should come from sugars. Professor Sander says:’This translates into 60g of sugar”
There is no evidence that sugar is addictive, adds the professor , but it is habit forming . “We have special taste receptors for sugars on our tongue,” he explains. “ Sweet tastes give us pleasure, unlike bitter and acidic flavors.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)
78. The health problems caused by sugar, such as increased risk of heart disease, come from_____________________________________________
79. What kind of balance does fruit contain?
_____________________________________________________________________________
80. Though a type of carbohydrate, sugar doesn ’t contain nutrients like _____________________________.
81. Why is sugar habit forming?

What is the meaning of “madness ”? In the US every March, it’s 64 men’s college basketball teams playing 63 games in less than a month. But it’s not just the tournament that’s a little crazy —— people all over the country also go mad trying to predict the winner.
Even billionaire investor Warren Buffet seems to be going crazy. In late January, Buffet announced that he’ll give ＄1 billion (6.1billion yuan) to anyone in the US who can correctly predict the winners of all 63 games this year, Reuters reported.
Each year, in the week before the first round begins, people usually print and fill out March Madness brackets. A brackets is a kind of diagram that lists all the teams that play each other in the first round, leaving blank spots tor all of the rounds after that. In offices and classrooms all over the US, people compete to fill out the most accurate bracket. Some people compete for prizes, like money or expensive gifts, while others do it for personal glory.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the sports media company ESPN has held a national bracket contest every March for the last 16 years. And in all that time, not a single person has ever correctly predicted all 63 game results.
So, will anyone win Buffet ’s billion? While it ’s unlikely, the person with the best shot is probably Craig Gilmore, a business analyst in Virginia, US. Last year, Gilmore beat over 8 million others in ESPN’s contest, correctly predicting 50 out of the 63 games, including that No 1-ranked Louisville would beat No 4-ranked Michigan for the championship. Gilmore has said that he filled out that bracket pretty quickly——after first drinking four glasses of beer. “I didn’t overanalyze it,” he told ESPN, “I just kind of went with my ”

( C )
How does someone step up to a cash machine and withdraw money from an account holder half world away? Even when the debit card is still in the victim’s wallet? It is easy, actually, say experts. The recipe for creating fake cards is right there on the Internet.
It is often called “white card” fraud. Criminals somehow get their hands on the electronic information stored on a legitimate card’s magnetic stripe. Generally, it’s stolen from a retailer or payment processor’s database, as happened when thieves last year broke into computers at CardSystems Solution Inc. Luckily for the criminals, Cardsystems didn’t store just account numbers-it even stored customer’s secret codes that were never meant to be copied on magnetic stripes. Stolen “ mag stripe ” data is the holy grail for card thieve. Then they take the stolen data and write it onto a new, blank card-a card that’s often plain white and they are off to the bank.
To show me how easy it was, two executives from MagTek Inc, one of the largest markers of credit card stripe gave a demonstration. Within minutes , I was withdrawing money from my account using a plain white piece of plastic at an ATM. And the key is to get an encoder.
Andy and Paul Deignan are brothers who both word for MagTek. Both came by to show me how easily thieves can manufacture scores of fake codes. MagTek sells both card readers, which are seen in stores across America, and card encoders, which very few people should ever see. Encoders actually write information onto that mysterious piece of magnetic tape on the back of the card. Banks use them to create credit cards. Readers cost about $100. Encoders cost between $1500 and $2000 except on eBay, where stolen encoders can sell for as little as $500. Armed with one, someone can create and debit cards that work exactly like the cards produces by financial institutions.
For demonstration purposes, the Deignan brothers took my debit card, dropped it in an encoder, copied the data from the back, and handed the card back to me. Then they took a piece of white plastic, a second card, instead that into the encoder, and essentially pasted my ATM information onto the second card. The process took less than 15 seconds.
The walk to the nearest cash machine took longer. Within a minute, I had taken a white piece of plastic and withdrawn $100 from my own checking account. Obviously, with slightly different data and a PIN number, I could have taken the money from someone else ’s account. With a database of stolen information, I could have withdrawn money from hundreds of accounts.
74. What does “ white card” fraud refer to?
A. A person who sells fake credit card to retailers or payment processors.
B. Thieves withdraw money from a cash machine with a plain card and stolen data. C. People buy stolen or salvaged encoders from the Internet.
D. People can create credit and debit cards to cheat financial institutions.
75. What is an encoder used for according to the passage?
A. Identifying account numbers from a credit card.
B. Creating magnetic tape on cassette tapes.
C. Stealing data from a retailer or payment processor’s database.
D. Writing information onto magnetic stripes on the back of the card.
76. The purpose of this article is probably to________________
A. tell people how to make a fortune.
B. explain how a credit card is used when buying things.
C. warn people not to use credit card to pay for anything.
D. expose a fraud that is often used these days.
77. What is likely to be talked about in the next paragraph?
A. Some other way to withdraw money at an ATM.
B. Where to buy card readers and card encoders.
C. How to protect yourself against the white card fraud.
D. The disadvantages of using credit card on the Internet..
Section C
Directions : Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Sugar is blamed for fueling the nations’ obesity crisis. Yet many of us don’t realize just how quickly our intake creeps up and the crucial link it has to health.
There is nothing inherently(固有地) unhealthy about sugar so we shouldn’t be afraid of it or try to eliminate it from our diets completely. It doesn’t directly cause heart disease or diabetes(糖尿病) so there’s nothing wrong with the occasional sweet treat. The problem arise because most of us are eating far too much.
There are different types of sugar and it’s found in all sorts of everyday foods. It occurs naturally in fruit and is added by manufacturers to make snacks such as cakes and biscuits. All types of sugar, whether found in cakes or fruit , will push up your intake of calories. If you don’t burn them off through exercise
you are likely to get fat. That ’s where the real health problems begin, including increase risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
With sugar found naturally in fruit there is a balance. This sugar can play a role in making us overweight but fruit is also bursting with other sources of goodness. The added sugar found in snacks and sweets doesn’t contain many nutrients so we are encouraged to get our sugar allowance from fruit instead.
Tom Sanders, professor of dietetics and nutrition at King’s College London, says:“we advise people to eat up to three portions of fruit a day but only have confectionery occasionally, because sweet can also tend to be high in better to get most of your carbohydrates intake from starchy foods such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta because they also contain useful amounts of other nutrients such as proteins and vitamins. ’ It is recommended that no more than 11% or our total daily calories intake should come from sugars. Professor Sander says:’This translates into 60g of sugar”
There is no evidence that sugar is addictive, adds the professor , but it is habit forming . “We have special taste receptors for sugars on our tongue,” he explains. “ Sweet tastes give us pleasure, unlike bitter and acidic flavors.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)
78. The health problems caused by sugar, such as increased risk of heart disease, come from_____________________________________________
79. What kind of balance does fruit contain?
_____________________________________________________________________________
80. Though a type of carbohydrate, sugar doesn ’t contain nutrients like _____________________________.
