A
The Internet has got into all the fields of our life. We can study and work on it. We can find a job on it. We can communicate on it. We can treat friends on it. We can buy and sell on it. We can do almost everything on the Internet, and almost anywhere, anytime.
However, although the Internet provides services for us, it is silently getting our privacy(隐私) to some degree. The services on most websites require our personal information. If we want to enjoy these services, we have to provide much of our information, including our names, sex, addresses, telephone numbers and sometimes bank accounts(帐户). Because weak network sometimes is unsafe, our information might be open, stolen or sold. Even sometimes it will be used freely by others.
Considering(考虑到...) the above mentioned, you must pay attention to the safety when using the Internet. First, when you need Internet service, you should always look through those big legal(合法的) websites. Second, if the service requires important personal information, you should think twice before you type it in. Third, store your own important card key(电子钥匙) and don’t tell others easily.
According to the passage, we shouldn’t ______by using the Internet.
A.learn English B.give our friends’ information to others
C.chat with friends D.look for jobs
The underlined word “it” refers to ______.
A.the telephone number B.the name C.the information D.the bank account

c. Don’t chat with friends on line d. Don’t use your key easily.

Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to deal with it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus(校园)of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs(灯泡)and fridges as well. The system works so well that no commonly used fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modern buildings theatres and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply(充分地)heated by people and lights and they sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing(再分配)it is called“heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male student send out more heat than female students, and the larger the student is, the more heat he produces. It can be concluded(总结)that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, over-weight male genius(天才).
1.The heat in the heating system of the Johnstown campus is supplied ________ ________.
A.by human bodies.
B.by both human bodies and other heat-giving objects
C.by both human bodies and commonly used fuel
D.by human bodies, other heat-giving objects and commonly used fuel
2.________ would produce the least amount of heat.
A.A fat boy student who is clever and studies hard.
B.A thin girl student who is not clever and does not work hard.
C.A thin boy student who is clever and studies hard.
D.A fat girl student who is both clever and hard-working.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Recovery of boys’ heat in the University of Pittsburgh.
B. Modern buildings’ heat system.
C. A new heat recovery system in the University of Pittsburgh.
D. The best way to save fuel or electricity.
4. How is the passage developed
A. By telling facts. B. By following time order. C. By analysing causes D. By making comparisons.
