18． A． Because B． If C． Although D．However——青夏教育精英家教网—

Many drivers think driving their vehicle is the only mode of transportation．However，high fuel prices have forced many consumers to look for alternative transportation．Alternative transportation is more efficient than driving your vehicle everywhere．If more drivers used alternative transportation，such as the public transit system, riding a bike, buying a hybrid vehicle or carpooling，then they would save hundreds of dollars．

Carpooling is an alternative mode of transportation consisting of more than two commuters(固定路线上班者) sharing a vehicle． Commuters that live near each other，share a common destination and have the same work hours form the simplest and most common carpool arrangement．It is a simple way for individuals to take part in the climate change challenge while saving money，reducing traffic jam and air pollution，and saving energy along the way．The more people in a carpool，the greater the savings．

Most carpoolers agree that the good company of their fellow carpoolers is a benefit that they really enjoy．Agreement on a few simple points will ensure that your carpool stays a happy one．Although these points seem to be just common sense，there are a few specific rules

that you may want to consider．

Carpooling is encouraged in many big cities around the world through computerized matching of riders with similar commute patterns and preferenees to tackle rush hour traffic jams and reduce pollution．There are websites providing assistance to individuals who are considering carpooling as an alternate means of commuting．However，some Shanghai city government departments drew criticism for banning the practice because it disrupted the taxi service market．

The physical memory dump error is a big problem that affects even the most advanced computer systems．Although it's quite a rare error, it's one of the most stopping what you're doing and restarting your computer—making you lose all your unsaved data．This is a big problem, but there is actually a very easy way to fix it．

There are two reasons why the physical memory dump happens．The first is pretty simple and is to do with the "hardware", and if any of these pieces are not fit for your system, it will cause the physical memory dump．So, if you've recently added any hardware to your PC, then take that out and see if it works．

The other reason is your system, the "registry"．The registry is a big database that operates in the background of Windows, storing all sorts of settings and information about your PC．The problem with the registry is that since it has so many important files inside, it's constantly got hundreds of files open every time you use your PC．And because there are so many files to open at once, Windows is constantly getting confused, leading it to save many of these files in the wrong way．These files go wrong when saved wrongly, making them difficult for your computer to read．However, if it can't read the files at all, it has no choice but to stop everything it's doing and restart your PC．This is why the physical memory dump error appears so easily—because when a registry file is so wrong that it can't be read, your computer needs to refresh itself immediately．

This latter reason for causing the physical memory dump is actually extremely common and the likelihood is that your PC is suffering from it, if you're seeing this error．Luckily, it's also incredibly easy to fix—you just need to use a software tool called a "registry cleaner" to go through the registry and fix all the problems in there．

1.From the text we can infer that ________．

A．the dump error often happens to your PC

B．the dump can be dealt with easily

C．only the advanced computers suffers from the error

D．the dump error can cause the data in your PC to be lost

2.The reason that your PC has the dump error is that ___________．

A．the hardware loses its memory

B．your Windows needs to be upgraded

C．you have saved wrong files in the PC

D．you have stored too many files in the PC．

3.What’s problem with the registry when your PC goes wrong?

A．The register can’t read the files correctly．

B．It must open 100 files every time you use your PC．

C．The register doesn’t agree with the database．

D．The register must save many important files inside．

4.What does a registry cleaner means?

A．A software which can help you save time．

B．A software which can remove unnecessary files

C．A software which can repair the machine．

D．a software which makes your PC down．

　　Until recently the chances for criminal activity(犯罪活动)on the Internet have been low．However, business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other products and make money transactions(交易)．All this is a strong temptation(诱惑)for hackers．

　　Hackers are often young people who are deeply attractedby computers．They use them to prowl the Internet, looking for ways to break into computer systems(系统)run by banks, telephone companies and even government departments．They look for examples of credit cards(信用卡)and try to steal the numbers．

　　Recently in America, hackers have been caught testing the security(安全)system at the Pentagon, headquarter(总部)of the American Defence Department．But still the backers insist often for a dare “because it’s there” although with what success nobody really knows．

　　Hackers seldom admit to(享有)a successful break in．The first sign of a security breach(泄密)may be when a customer discovers fraudulent(欺骗)money transaction on a credit card account(账户), and it is hard to discover it．

　　“You just don’t give your credit card out to anybody, ”says Michael White, multimedia product manager for clear communications, “and in the same way you should regularly change your credit card entering number, you can defeat hackers by regularly changing your　Internet password(密码)．If you don’t, it’s like leaving the bank vault(金库)door wide open．”

　　The warning against hackers is out there, and the answer is obviously to choose tricky passwords and change them frequently and to watch who you pass your credit card details to．

　　The wide spread of the photographic industry has led to a greater demand for skilled technicians in darkrooms and photographic laboratories．However, qualified workers are hard to find, because not many people seem to be attracted by this kind of work．Some people like to take pictures during their holidays, but they seldom produce their pictures all by themselves—that is the work of a photographic technician．Although it may not be easy to spend a full working day in the darkroom, it can be very satisfying to produce carefully processed photographs．

　　Especially, if one can produce a very good photograph of high quality, his sense of achievement is gained．Besides achieving job satisfaction, the photo technician can move on into production if he or she desires．For instance, the technician may choose to learn related skills such as photo restoration or photo retouching．Of course, these will make photo production more like an art, and it is not easy to become skilled in these kinds of work．Although it is a good idea to seek classroom theory and technical knowledge, the individual interested in becoming a darkroom technician will learn the most by actually working in a photographic laboratory．The use of photography in research and development is increasing; therefore, the need for more technicians will undoubtedly increase．
