作文
1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Information Security. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.
1. 很多人认为信息安全很重要
2. 有的人认为信息不是实物，所以信息安全无关紧要
3. 我认为……
As we are living in the information age, we are readily accessible to information of our interests. Because of this, some people claim that it is important to protect the information security to ensure a healthier environment to spread information.
This belief, however, is discarded by some others, because they regard information as something intangible and insignificant and there is no need to safeguard it. Information comes and goes: it is too transient to be kept in a safe box.
As for me, I think the information security should be protected. First, a lot of information circulating around the Internet is associated with privacy. Once it is leaked out, it would be a detriment to the people concerned. Quite a few Internet-based financial frauds and losses result from the stolen private information Second, if we do not guarantee the accuracy of information, we would open a floodgate for exaggerated and even false messages. Ultimately, we will be confused as to what to believe and which source to trust. In light of these reasons, it is necessary to acknowledge the importance of information security.

词汇理解
As the world excitedly greeted Snuppy, the first cloned (克隆) dog, commentators celebrated our cleverness. Many feel proud that our age is marked by technological【C1】________.
But an article in British newspaper The Observer recently said true innovation has【C2】________from our society.
The writer was Peter Watson, author of the book Ideas—A History from Fire to Freud. Watson began: \\
2.【C1】
G
解析：此处需要名词，作介词by的宾语。根据上文的“感到自豪”，可知此处需要一个积极意义的名词，所以答案为advances。technological advances意为“科技上的进步”。
3.【C2】
K
解析：此处需要动词充当said后面的宾语从句的谓语，空格前的助动词has提示用过去分词形式。句首的but表语义转折。可见本句要表达与上句“很多人感到自豪”相反的意思。即需要消极意义的动词。词库中只有disappeared含有否定意义。disappeared from our society意为“消失于我们的社会”。
4.【C3】
F
解析：空格前后构成完整的介宾短语in terms of innovations，可见此处只能填入修饰innovations的词。且该词应表示积极意义。词库中能够修饰innovations的以important最为合适。in terms of important innovations意为“就重大革新而言”。
5.【C4】
J
解析：空格前的have been和空格后的介宾短语by the fact提示此处为被动语态。需填入动词的过去分词。只有struck可以用于the fact has struck me that…或I have been struck by the fact，故选J。
6.【C5】
N
解析：此处需要名词，作介词in的宾语，且意思应该与TV，newspapers and magazines，government propaganda并列，都是宣传媒介。由此可知答案为advertising。
7.【C6】
M
解析：句中的as…as…结构提示此处需要形容词，和innovative并列，且该词应该与innovative一样表示积极意义。根据下文，倒数第3段和最后一段分别提到了the most interesting times in history和a few innovations，由此推断此处应填入interesting。
8.【C7】
L
解析：此处需要形容词作定语。修饰名词things。移动电话、相机、数字电视、互联网等科技都是重大的发明，空格前已有not，因此答案为small。
9.【C8】
I
解析：空格所在句主谓宾结构完整，由此推断空格处应填入副词，作句子状语。句中these periods指代上文的1050—1250 and 1759—1950，上文讲到这两个时间段是最有趣的时期，由此可推断这些时期对我们的改变很大，radically“彻底地”符合句意和语境。
