新世纪以来，信息产业革命加速、经济全球化加剧、市场经济逐步深化等诸多因素使得信息化推进速度迅猛，在此同时，政府也注意到了这一发展趋势，开始着手引导企业在职员工岗位能力提升的发展。为了健全面向全体劳动者的职业培训制度，加快培育数以亿计的高素质专业技能人才。

随着我国对外经济、文化交流与合作的迅猛发展，“汉语热”在全球范围内日渐升温。在国际

交流大发展的时代背景下，“对外汉语”专业也迎来了难得的发展机遇，与此同时，更多的外语专业的学生也找到了更多的就业机会和发张方向，法国作为欧洲的主要国家，汉语热的辐射也使得越来越多的日语学生还是转向对外汉语专业的进修或就业，而通过正规的法语考试和学习去获得中华人民共和国人力资源和社会保障部授权的对外汉语教师资格证（IPA国际注册汉语教师资格证）也成为了更多的学生追寻的首要目标。

汉语热

而中国对外汉语教学真正迎来自己的春天还是在进入21世纪之后，随着世界逐渐进入信息时代，进入知识经济、经 济全球化时代，整个语言科学在21世纪的地位越来越高。由于中国近20年来经济突飞猛进地发展，国际地位迅速提升；又 由于中国有无比巨大的广阔市场，所以任何类型的国家，不管是发达国家，还是发展中国家，为了和平与发展，为了自身的国 家利益，都不能不跟中国打交道，而要跟中国打交道，不能不要求他们的国人努力学习汉语。

与中国的强势发展相呼应，在全球，汉语热也不断升温，汉语正逐步成为一种强势语言。据报纸报道，20xx年许多欧美 国家已将汉语列入高考外语考试任选科目之中。由于汉语热的影响，专业的汉语学习及考试是想要从事对外汉语教师职业的学生的首选目标。

四、六级考试单项分的报道分为四个部分，这四个部分以及各部分所占的分值比例分别为：

英语四级各档的分数分布是：听力（35%）249分、阅读（35%）249分、综合（10%）70分、写作和翻译（20%）142分。

总分计算公式：

计算公式

另外四级要550分以上（包含550）可以考口语，六级要520分（包含520) 各单项报道分相加之和等于报道总分。

四、六级的单项报道分也是常模正态分数，但参照的常模是相应的单项常模。

因此，单项报道分能够报道考生在各单项常模群体中所处的百分位置。

示例

某考生四级作文报道分数是62分，则其在常模群体中的百分位是在77%～86%之间，表示这名考生的英语成绩至少要优于常模群体中77%的人，但不会优于86%的人。

某考生六级听力报道分数是100分，则其在常模群体中的百分位是54%，表示这名考生的英语听力成绩优于常模群体中54%的人。

根据以下资料，回答41-60题：

The big identity—theft bust last week was just a taste of what’ s to come．Here’ s how to protect your good name．

HERE’s THE SCARY THING about the identity—theft ring that the Feds cracked last week：there was nothing any of its estimated 40，000 victims could have done to prevent it from happening．This was an inside job，according to court documents．A

lowly help-desk worker at Teledata Communications，a software firm that helps banks access credit reports online，allegedly stole passwords for those reports and sold them to a group of 20 thieves at$60 a pop．That allowed the gang to cherry—pick

consumers with good credit and apply for all kinds of accounts in their names．Cost to the victims：$3 million and rising．

Even scarier is that this， the largest identity—theft bust to date， is just a drop in the bit bucket．Morethan 700，000 Americans have their credit hijacked every year．It’s one of crime’s biggest growth markets ． A name ， address and Social Security

number--which can often be found on the Web—is all anybody needs to apply for a

bogus line of credit． Credit companies make$1．3 trillion annually and lose less than 2 ％of that revenue to fraud，so there’s little financial incentive for them to make the． application process more secure．As it stands now，it’s up to you to protect your

identity．

The good news is that there are plenty of steps you can take．Most credit thieves are

opportunists，not well．organized gangs．Alot of them go Dumpster diving for those millions of“pre-approved”credit—card mailings that go out every day．Others steal wallets and return them，taking only a Social Security number．Shredding your junk mail and leaving your Social Security card at home can save a lot of agony later．

But the most effective way to keep your identity clean is to check your credit reports

once or twice a year．There are three major credit—report outfits：Equifax(at equifax．

com)， Trans—Union (www． transunion． com)and Experian(experian． com)． All allow you to order reports online，which is a lot better than wading through voice-mail hell

on their 800 lines． Of the three， I found Trans—Union’s website to be the cheapest and most comprehensive-laying out state—by—state prices，

rights and tips for consumers in easy-to—read fashion．

If you’re lucky enough to live in Colorad0，Georgia，Maryland，Massachusetts，New Jersey or Vermont，you are entitled to one free report a year by law．Otherwise it’s going to cost$8 to $14 each time．Avoid services that offer to monitor your reports

year—round for about$70；that’s $10 more than the going rate among thieves．If you think you’re a victim of identity theft．You Can ask for fraud alerts to be put on file at each of the three credit—report companies．You can also download a theft—report

form at www． consumer． gov／idtheft， which， along with a local police report， should help when irate creditors come knocking．Just don’t expect justice．That audacious help—desk worker was one of the fewer than 2％ of identity thieves who are ever

caught．

41、Whatis the trend of credit—theft crime?

A．Tightly suppressed．

B．Morefrightening．

C．Rapidly increasing．

D．loosely controlled．

42、 The expression “inside job”(Line 3，Paragraph 2)most probably means“——”．

A．a crime that is committed by a person working for the victim

B．a crime that should be punished severely

C．a crime that does great harm to the victim

D．a crime that poses a great threat to the society

43、 The creditors can protect their identity in the following ways except——．

A．destroying your junk mail

B．leaving your Social Security card at home

C．visiting the credit—report website regularly

D．0btaining the free report from the government

44、 Whyis it easy to have credit—theft?

A．Morepeople are using credit service．

B．The application program is not safe enough．

C．Creditors usually disclose their identity．

D．Creditors are not careful about their identity．

45、 Whatis the best title of the text?

A．The danger of credit—theft

B．The loss of the creditors

C．How to protect your good name

D．Whythe creditors lose their identity

In the l950s，the pioneers of artificial intelligence(AI)predicted that，by the end of this century，computers would be conversing with US at work and robots would be

performing our house—work． But as useful as computers are， they’re nowhere close to achieving anything remotely resembling these early aspirations for human like

behavior．Never mind something as complex as conversation：the most powerful

computers struggle to reliably recognize the shape of an object， the most elementary of tasks for a ten-month-old kid．

A growing group of AI researchers think they know where the field went wrong．The prob—lem，the scientists say，is that AI has been trying to separate the highest，most abstract levels of thought，like language and mathematics，and to duplicate them with logical，step-by—step pro—grams．Anew movement in Al，on the other hand，takes a closer look at the more roundabout way in which naturally came up with

intelligence．Manyof these researchers study evolution and natural adaptation instead of formal logic and conventional computer programs．Rather than digital computers and transistors．some want to work。with brain cells and proteins．The results of these early ef-forts are as promising as they are peculiar．and the new nature—based AI movement is slowly but surely moving to the forefront of the field．

mitating the brain's neural(神经的)network is a huge step in the right direction，says computer scientist and biophysicist Michael Conrad，but it still misses an important aspect。of natural intelligence．“People tend to treat the brain as if it were made up of color—coded transistors” ． he explains,“but it’s not simply a clever network of switches ． There are lots of important things going on inside the brain cells

themselves．”Specifically．Conrad believes that many of the brain’s capabilities stem from the pattern recognition proficiency of the individual molecules that make up each brain cell．The best way to build and artificially intelligent device，he claims，would be to build it around the same sort of molecular skills．

Right now，the option that conventional computers and software are fundamentally incapable of matching the processes that take place in the brain remains controversial．

But if it proves true，then the efforts of Conrad and his fellow AI rebels could turn out to be the only game in town．

46、The author says that the powerful computers of today__________.

A．are capable of reliably recognizing the shape of an object

B．are close to exhibiting humanlike behavior

C．are not very different in their performance from those of the 50’s

D．still cannot，communicate with people in a human language

47、 The new trend in artificial intelligence research stems from__________．

A．the shift of the focus of study on to the recognition of the shapes of objects

B．the belief that human intelligence cannot be duplicated with logical，step—by-step pro-grams

C． the aspirations of scientists to duplicate the intelligence of a ten—month—old child

D． the efforts made by scientists in the study of the similarities between transistors and brain cells

48、 Conrad and his group of AI researchers have been making enormous efforts to__________．

A．find a roundabout way to design powerful computers

B．build a computer using a clever network of switches

C．find out how intelligence developed in nature

D．separate the highest and most abstract levels of thought

49、 What’s the author's opinion about the new AI movement?

A．It has created a sensation among artificial intelligence researchers，but it will soon die out．

B．It’s a breakthrough in duplicating human thought processes．

C．It’s more like a peculiar game rather than a real scientific effort．

D．It may prove to be in the right direction though nobody is sure of its future prospects．

50、 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “the only game in town”(Line 3，Para．4)?

A．The only approach to building all artificially intelligent computer．

B．The only way for them to win a prize in artificial intelligence。research．

C．The only area worth studying in computer science．

D．The only game they would like to play in town．
