Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
? Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon for the first time, on July 20, 1969, it represented one of the most inspiring achievements in man's history to millions of people throughout the world. But to a small organization called the International Flat Earth Research Society, it was nothing more than a piece of cleverly stage-managed science-fiction trickery.
Armstrong's historic words when stepping down from the Eagle module (宇宙飞船船舱) onto the dusty lunar surface about 240,000 miles from Earth — \— was a phrase that could have come only from the pen of a scriptwriter.
As for the pictures reputedly (一般被认为) taken in space showing the Earth to be a rotating sphere, well, they were just too ludicrous (可笑的) for words. \instead of the Earth revolving around the sun — a notion that most people take for granted.\
The society, whose membership is currently estimated to be about 1,400, dismisses much of accepted modern thinking about the shape of the Earth as sheer nonsense and is convinced that the entire human race is being subjected to the greatest hoax (骗局) in history.
From its headquarters in Lancaster, California, the society wages a war of words through newsletters and pamphlets against the evils of science.
The society was founded in about 1800 in Great Britain and the United States and, says its American president Charles Johnson, was descended from the Zetetic society, which took its name from an ancient Greek philosophical school of skeptics. It survived under this name until 1956, when its general secretary, Samuel Shenton, of Kent, England, changed the name to the present title.
The society's belief is this: the Earth is flat, with the land masses grouped around the central point of the North Pole.
The Antarctic region is not the compact island mass it is commonly believed to be but an impenetrable ice-cold girdle (环形物) around the Earth. The Flat Earthers argue that the trans-antarctic expeditions have never happened. Explorers, misled by instrument faults, merely traveled an icy arc within the girdle.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
On a Saturday night at the end of May, visitors to the forums section of Digital Spy, a British entertainment and media news Web site, were greeted with an ad that loaded malicious(恶意的)software
onto their computers. The Web site's advertising system had been hacked.
A number of such attacks have occurred this year, as perpetrators(肇事者)exploit the complex structure of business relationships in online advertising, with its numerous middlemen and resellers. Web security experts say they have seen an uptick in the number of ads harboring malware as the economy has soured and publishers, needing to boost their ad revenues, outsource(外包)more of their ad-space sales. Viruses can be incorporated directly within an ad, so that simply clicking on the ad or visiting the site can infect a computer, or ads can be used to direct users to a nefarious(违法的,恶意的)Web site that aims to steal passwords or identities. In most cases, the problem becomes apparent within a matter of hours and quick fixes are put in place, but that's not fast enough for Internet surfers whose computers end up infected or compromised.
EWeek.com, a technology news site owned by Ziff Davis Enterprise, in February displayed an ad on its homepage masquerading as a promotion for LaCoste, the shirt maker. The retailer hadn't placed the ad — a hacker had, to direct users to a Web site where harmful programs would be downloaded to their computers, says Stephen Wellman, Director of Community & Content for Ziff Davis.
Similar attacks occurred across a series of News Corp.-owned sites in February, including AmericanIdol.com, FoxNews.com and IGN.com. In January, clicking on an ad on Major League Baseball's MLB.com led visitors to a site with malware.
Digital Spy, Ziff Davis, Fox and MLB all say that immediately after they detected the incidents, they isolated the ads and removed them from their sites.
Digital Spy sells the ad space on its forums section, visited by three million unique visitors a month, through a number of other companies, called ad networks. If one ad network doesn't sell the space to a marketer directly, it often will sell it to another network. The space also can be outsourced to ad exchanges, another set of companies, which hold an electronic auction(拍卖)for online ads.
Web publishers say they have started limiting the number of companies they outsource their ad selling to and are working with security vendors, such as San Francisco-based ClickFacts, to detect malicious software on their networks and remove it as quickly as possible.
Ad technology companies and Internet companies say they, too, are making efforts to boost the security of their systems. Microsoft, Google and Time Warner's AOL say they use a series of technical and manual procedures to scan for malicious code in their systems.
