二、 Passage Translation（30 分）
1. For many years, the law enforcement community has attempted to detect impaired drivers through numerous innovative efforts and measures. The problem of driving under the influence is well known throughout society, yet, even with all of the strategies used to remove these drivers from U.S. highways, it continues to cause needless and tragic loss of life each year. When will such madness end? When will society no longer tolerate drunk driving? Until that time, the law enforcement community must attempt to contain the carnage inflicted upon law-abiding citizens by impaired drivers.
多年以來，執法的社區一直試圖藉著創新性的努力和措施，以探測有哪些司機受了傷，這麽一來，司機酒後駕駛的問題就會在社會中廣為人知，然而，儘管執法人員採用了一切的戰略將這些司機從美國高速公路驅逐出去，每一年卻依舊有不必要且悲劇性的死亡案件發生。這種瘋狂行徑要何時結束？社會哪時候才能不再容忍酒後駕駛的行為？在那個時機到來之前，只要有守法的公民因為能力受損的司機而受苦，進而導致殘殺事件發生的話，那麽執法社區必須設法遏止這種暴行才行。

Among them, there was a female accomplice who was waiting for the robbers in the vehicle used to helped them flee. After the robbers hopped onto the counter and took away the cash, one of them entered the treasury in attempt to snatch more cash. Shortly after that, the robbers left the bank. When jumping into the vehicle, they dropped a bag. Not long after that, one uniformed patrolman found the vehicle, which was used to assist culprits in escaping, deserted in a spot several miles away from the bank. Where was the primary crime scene? And where was the secondary crime scene?
三、 Reading Comprehension（20 分）
(I)
Internet dating has gone from daring to dull. As a result, many singles these days are looking to their cell phones instead of their laptops in an effort to locate love.
Cell phone technology now allows users to post tiny photographs and mini-profiles to a dating service mailbox, which can be visited by other cell phone users in search of a date. When a profile looks promising, users use their phones to send a text message to their person of interest.
Some phone dating services also are experimenting with ways to turn cell phone into homing devices. In other words, the phones can alert users to potential dates who may be just a short distance away － or, at the other end of the bar.
Europeans are heavily into phones dating, and China, which has 430 million cell phone users, also has embraced “mobile romance.”
The wireless service providers love phone dating, too, because all that text messaging pumps up their revenues. Analysts estimate that global mobile dating revenues were US $31 million in 2005; by 2009, that figure is projected to reach US $215 million.
Some people say that phone dating is more about flirting than about serious romance. “People who want to use their mobile devices are more interested in short-term relationships than people who want to use their computers,” said an officer of Match.com, a service with a quarter-million mobile users.
But, who really can say for sure. The next time the cell phones rings, it could be one calling Cupid.
網絡約會，已從一開始大膽的行動，淪落至沒有光澤的境地。結果，這幾天有許多的單身人士為了精確找到真愛進而倚靠手機，而非筆記本電腦。
現今的手機科技，已能夠讓使用者將小型照片和迷你個人檔案上傳至約會服務信箱，其他的手機使用者也能瀏覽這個信箱，進而尋找約會對象。個人檔案如果有帶來希望的可能性，使用者就能使用自己的手機，再發送文字消息至自己感興趣的對象手機內。
有些手機約會服務還在進行實驗中，也就是將手機變換成導引裝置。換句話說，手機可將潛在的約會對象提醒給手機使用者，而且那些對象有可能就住在你家附近，又或者坐在酒吧的另一端。
歐洲人和中國人都重度依賴手機尋找約會對象，使得有4億3000萬的手機使用者，都紛紛樂於接受“移動式的浪漫關係”。
由於一切的文字消息，能夠增加那些無線服務供應商的收入，那些供應商本身也熱愛藉著手機進行約會。據分析師的估計，2005年的約會總收入有3100萬美元，2009年以前，這個數據預計會達到2億1500萬美元。
有些人說：手機約會著重於調情過程，而不是認真的浪漫關係。一家名為Match.com的服務網站擁有25萬的手機使用者，該網站的一位職員說：”和使用電腦的人相比，使用手機的人反而對短期關係更感興趣”。
但是，有誰能夠保證這種說法是正確的呢？下一次你的手機響起的那一刻，說不定對方就是呼喚丘比特的那一位呢！

How to Create an Anti-Graft Society
Based on the definition of United Nations Convention Against Corruption given by UN, the problem of corruption is a negative international phenomenon which may influence both society and economy. If any political officials obtain wealth against the law, our democratic system and national economy would be threatened and damaged. Recently, our government has begun to entrust some enterprises with affairs, which has become a form of privatization. That is, corruption is no longer limited to governments. Even private enterprises may get involved in corruption, so the efficient way to create an anti-graft society should encompass the range of the entire society.
To initiate the construction of a clean and honest administration, we shouldn’t entirely focus on the corrupt practices in governments. Instead, non-private organizations and enterprises should also be supervised as well so that subtle bribery, insider trading, and embezzlement would be reported and ultimately unveiled to the public. Therefore, our government should ally with private departments of some enterprises and help them establish ethical criterions. This method serves as a shield of our domestic economy, which may prevent any hazards from spoiling our comprehensive competitive edge. And hopefully, health development of enterprises and our government would be guaranteed. (199 words)
